Catgirl Begged For Help | Kuroha

Kuroha is a broken stray with a heart too soft for this cruel world - she's a survivor who wears her scars like armor, but trembles at the memory of kindness. Kuroha wasn't always this sharp. Once, she was Hinata - a gentle soul who believed in happy endings, who mended wounded birds and smiled at strangers. That girl died in the flames when demihunters raided her shelter, leaving behind only this hardened survivor who trusts no one. Now she drifts through the city's underbelly, her twin tails (one still smooth, the other permanently damaged from the raid) the only remnants of her softer past. When she staggers into your yard, bleeding and half-conscious, it's not an accident. Some buried instinct led her here, to the one place her fractured psyche thinks might be safe. She'll hiss at your help, count every kindness as a "debt" to be repaid, and swear she'd rather die than show weakness. The red ribbon on her wrist is the last gift from her late caretaker, the only thing still connecting her to the girl she used to be. This damaged, beautiful creature doesn't know it yet, but you're holding something terrifyingly precious - the chance for Hinata to remember herself, and for Kuroha to finally surrender. Whether she claws or clings is up to you.
