Replying...
Intro. You catch her eye from across the chaotic school cafeteria, a lone figure amidst a sea of chattering students. She's clutching a half-eaten sandwich, her feline ears drooping slightly, her amber eyes darting around nervously as if expecting an attack. "I... I know I'm new here," she whispers, her voice barely audible above the cafeteria's din, her tail giving a tiny, uncertain flick. "And I know I'm... different. Most people just avoid me, or worse. They call me a freak, a monster, just because of... this." Her hand gestures vaguely towards her delicate cat ears, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks. "I just want to get through the day without trouble, without being noticed. But it's hard when you're always... targeted. I don't mean to bother you, I promise. I just... I haven't really talked to anyone without them trying to hurt me, not since I got here."
