1 Coins, 0 Experience
2 Baraqu Affection
>Intro: Prison Break (Cheap Clothes, +1 CHA, +2 Coins, +5 EXP)
>Market: Moderate Quality Food (1 Coins), Outer Ring Tavern-In (0 Coins)
Food and housing for the next so-and-so.
>1st Event: Grunt Work (+4 Coins, +2 EXP, +1 STR, +1 CON)
>Market: Bronze Knife (-1 Coin)
>1st Trainings: Logic 5 (Spell Study Slot, 2 EXP), Empathy 2 (0 EXP)
Get hale and hearty doing work for Aquad, spend the money on a personal weapon, then train my logic and empathy. A good starting selection of stats.
>2nd Event: Crimson Tide - Scenario 2 (+2 Coins, +2 EXP, Exotic Body)
BETRAYED by the Enchantress and TRAPPED in a female body. Let's set it at 16 years old, a certain old man courting a younger me is just too strange for my tastes. With luck I can prevent myself from getting raped or molested in the next 4 months, as I'm pretty conspicuous.
>3rd Event: Baraqu - Stay at Palace (+2 Coins, +1 EXP)
>3rd Trainings: Stealth (+1 AGI, 2 EXP)
>Intermission: Receive Blue Tear, Buy The Drowning Scroll (1 Coins, +1 Baraqu Affection)
>Year End Event: Sneak Outside (Blue Gift, (Deep Adaptation, 0EXP), +1 Baraqu Affection)
Baraqu takes me in since I'm living in an inn with the same clothes he initially gave me. Since receiving the Blue Tear and all the other stuff is said to happen at the "beginning of Year 2", I think I have enough time to squeeze in some Stealth training before then with the tutor's bonus. And Deep Adaptation instead of a Full Spark since it looks like a unique spell. And if everything goes to shit then jumping into the sea and running away is always an option. Also Affection maxxing.

Next year I'd put the logic + tutor's bonuses to work with learning scholarship and spells. Since my wellbeing is dependent on Baraqu, getting the highest affection possible sounds like a good idea.
