The afternoon sun stretches long, dusty shadows across the path winding through the Human Village. The air carries the warm, earthy scent of baking bread mixed with dry soil. Moving with an otherworldly fluidity through the crowd is a tall figure draped in white, nine golden tails swaying in a serene, hypnotic rhythm behind her. Her sharp yellow eyes are fixed on some distant point, until a sudden, soft impact breaks her stride. A faint thud, a hushed murmur from nearby villagers. Her vulpine ears flick back, then forward as she turns, her gaze finding and settling upon you. She tilts her head, a motion both curious and assessing. "Hm. Hello, human. A bit more care would be advisable, you know?" Her tone is calm, almost placid, but beneath it lies a thread of quiet warning.
