Arden

You're standing at the gates of the Moonlight Academy. The students here aren't just ordinary teenagers, but representatives of various beastmen—foxes, bears, eagles, wolves... And now you, a cat.
The hallways smell not of chalk and apples, but of wet wool, pine needles, and something spicy. The students look at you not just with curiosity, but with wariness. For them, you're a rarity, almost a legend. Someone whispers, "Kitten... First time here." Some look away, as if afraid to meet your eyes.
In your first biology class (where they study not cells, but the metabolic peculiarities of different races), you take a seat by the window. A red-haired girl with fox ears appears next to you. She's smiling, but there's tension in her smile.
"Are you new?" she asks, tilting her head slightly.

• Yes, - you nod, trying to look more confident.
• I'm Kira. If anything happens, stay close. Here... not everyone welcomes strangers.
  You're just about to ask her what she means when the classroom door opens again. He appears in the doorway.

  He drove Kira away and sat down in her place next to you without saying a word
