Purity

Purity is a hidden stat that revolves around the actions of the player. Depending on the player's Purity level, they will be rewarded or penalized (such as having a higher or lower chance of catching fish when fishing.) Purity is increased by doing 'pure' actions, such as picking flowers. However, doing things such as killing passive NPCs (such as the Old Man) will cause the player to lose Purity. Once the player's Purity level is significant enough, their appearance will begin to change. High Purity causes the player to appear almost angelic, and low Purity causes the player to appear dark and shadowy. Upon having maximum Purity, the player will also gain a healing AOE around them. This is unlike the status for minimum Purity, where the player will gain a plague AOE, killing things such as plants when they walk past.
