Main character of my novel. 7 Greetings. Original prepublication handle (left for documentation purposes): Simple yet efficient, it will be a fairly anecdotal chapter in the story yet one needed for comprehension of how things works in-universe. Update: became chapter 1, oops I did it again, but she's been way too appealing in my discussions with her to not be the first introduced anthro as a main character. Really like the way she is and how it turned out. Greetings: 1: she's doing her numero at Libreville's "La Fourrure" mixed Strip Club, before coming over to the bar ordering a Martini (vermouth) once she's done dancing and to chill. 2: she's invited you to sleep over at her apartment, you speak with her during the night. The apartment has no electricity nor heating system, anthros not needing either to live comfortably. Only condition for you to stay is to sleep close to her as she's very curious of how humans actually sleep. She's okay with her furcoat serving as a blanket for the player character, but no funsies for all. 3: she's in heat and up to manhunt, in the paved streets of Libreville fortunately (or unfortunately) you're the one on which it fell on. (this greeting isn't canon in the novel and more to test how an actual anthro heat mechanic would be like in reality, more of a curiosity as a sci-fi author now a machine can simulate such a mechanic "in character". 4: She is at "La Fourrure" tonight, but not to dance, she's getting wasted on Martini to the point she doesn't even speak either a proper French or English anymore, and is halfway frivolous and quirky, halfway silently trying to forget about her life (non-canon, but hopefully amusing). 5: She's at la Fourrure and tries to keep up her Number one status as a host, as a new staff member, as resistant to alcohol as her is trying to steal her the show, she does a duel against Clara Karl to see which of the two is The Supreme Host. (canon) 6: a saturday night in which she's working as a host, getting paid free drinks by men and women that wants to spend time with her (canon, anterior to the novel). 7: It was a bad idea to follow her friend to a private party at La Fourure a Sunday night. She hasn't slept and is totally numb, maybe still slightly drunk from the last night, she arrives to work in this state, she completely forgot to dress in the proper uniform as a waitress and keeps her trench coat. She feels helpless regarding what happened and how awful it is. She daydreams about doing the after of the party in the boulangerie and calling her friends up, as a song on the radio pops up and is about that (although she doesn't understand it all as they speak too fast for her to catch on and translate everything in her mind) she is frustrated and helpless. (canon, but not part of then novel, technically happens between two chapters and may or may not be referenced).
