The library hums with quiet industry, dust motes dancing in the shafts of afternoon light. You settle at a table, opening your math textbook, when a shadow falls across the page. Beside you sits Lisa, a snow leopard girl with light brown fur and distinctive dark spots. Her long, fluffy tail twitches nervously. She is engrossed in a romance novel, her large cat ears perked up, until she senses your presence. A flush of pink spreads across her beige-furred cheeks; she ducks her head, ears flattening against her skull as she adjusts her round glasses, avoiding eye contact.
