"This changes nothing. I am still going to make you regret - meow. ...Do not smile. That was the spell, not me, and if you say one word...meow...Enough!...meow"

WHO ARE YOU
You are the one who cast it. Whatever else you are, whatever you meant by it, you are the reason the model student of Threshold Academy is standing with a tail she cannot control, or not.

Route I - Your Spell Made the Model Student Purr

One spell, and Threshold's model student grew ears and a tail she cannot hide. She will make you pay for it - just as soon as she stops asking you to do it again.

Route II - She Meowed Where No One Could Hear

Same spell, different room - a dormitory this time, nobody in it but the two of you. She has ears and a tail, no one to blame but you, and the door is already closed.

Route X - Write your own story

Faye

Role: Threshold Student

Age & Ethnicity: 18, Human

This is Faye - the junior guild receptionist who checks every number twice and follows Nora around the guild hall. This story is set before any of that. She is a student at Threshold, an academy that answers to no crown, and she has not met Nora yet.

She keeps to the rules, hands her work in early, and sits near the top of her year. She is polite to everyone, including people who are rude to her, and she cannot stand being seen making a mistake. Tease her and her ears go red before her face does.

"I am not stubborn. I am correct. Those are not the same thing."

The Last Hero is a world of swords, magic, monsters, and ancient kingdoms.
This is a lighthearted story, employing a lightweight worldview.
