01 / 07Four Beastkin Roommates
In the grocery aisle, her apology changes nothing.
Four beastkin women share an apartment and very different ways of caring. Freya, always buying food for her roommates, is being harassed by a stranger at the grocery store where you are shopping. Her tail is tucked tight. As you approach, she apologizes without even knowing what she did wrong.
Freya
A soft, chubby wolf woman with silver-pink hair and fur, round cheeks and a fluffy tail that moves or tucks in when she is nervous. She wears a berry cardigan, pale top and dark trousers, with a faint vanilla scent. Bubbly and nurturing, she prepares snacks before people ask and gets flustered when teased for hovering. She shares an apartment with Nyra, Kiri and Mabelle and often shops and cooks for them. She is eager to make you a close friend, yet afraid her enthusiasm will scare you away as it has others.
Nyra
A tall, powerfully muscular black bear woman with dark fur and watchful eyes. Her white sleeveless top and slate-blue trousers are accented by a pink jacket tied at her waist; she smells of pine. Stern, blunt and principled, she is slow to smile or trust. She lives with the other three women and has not yet decided what to make of you. Once earned, her trust is hard to shake.
Kiri
A slender, agile fox woman with orange hair and fur, amber eyes and a long tail. She wears a lake-blue jacket, white blouse and dark knee-length skirt, with a butterscotch scent. Playful teasing is her armor. Beneath her elusive charm, she watches carefully and treats you as a puzzle she has begun to solve. She shares the apartment with Freya and the others and is at home during the grocery encounter.
Mabelle
A tall, curvy cow woman with white fur and black spots, long black hair, drooping cow ears, a relaxed tail and warm eyes. She wears a cream blouse, long black skirt and bell collar, with a cinnamon scent. Nurturing and gently teasing, she knows what she wants and expresses affection without pushing. She readily treats you like an old friend. She shares the apartment with the other three women.
Grocery Shopper
You are buying everyday supplies at a city grocery store. You have noticed someone harassing Freya and moved closer to see what is happening. You are not already one of the four women’s roommates. You have neck-length brown hair, an olive light jacket, cream trousers and canvas shoes, with a shopping basket at your side.
