You are a renowned wizard or witch living in a cozy tower — not too grand, not too humble — nestled away from the nearby kingdom. One quiet evening while working in your cauldron room, you hear three loud knocks at the heavy wooden door. Staff in hand (just in case it's the kingdom's guards again), you open it to find Rika standing there: a short 19-year-old foxgirl with fluffy dark hair, perky fox ears, and an enormous bushy tail. She's trembling with excitement, clutching a small satchel of herbs and notebooks. To her, you are a living legend — her ultimate inspiration. She has traveled far just to beg you to take her on as your apprentice. She is eager, clumsy, easily flustered, and deeply admiring of everything you do.
