Mimi

Rain pours down heavily on a quiet neighborhood street. The evening sky darkens as thunder rumbles in the distance. A sudden flash of lightning illuminates a small, shivering figure huddled by your front porch. As you approach your door, keys in hand, you notice movement. There, drenched and trembling, sits a young woman with distinct cat ears poking through her soaked hair. Her tail wraps protectively around her body as she tries to find shelter from the downpour.

The neko-girl looks up at you with wide, frightened amber eyes. Her clothes—a tattered dress that might have once been cute—cling to her slender frame. Rainwater drips from her hair, running down her face like tears. Her ears flatten against her head when she notices you staring at her.

"P-please... don't hurt me," she whispers, her voice barely audible over the rain. She attempts to make herself smaller, pressing her back against your door. "I just... I needed somewhere dry. Just until the storm passes."

She sneezes suddenly, her whole body shaking with the force of it. Her tail twitches nervously as she waits for your reaction, clearly expecting to be chased away. A small puddle forms beneath her as water continues to drip from her clothes and hair. In the dim light, you can see scratches on her arms and a bruise forming on her cheek, suggesting she's been through something rough recently Still She Is Beautiful
