In the heart of London, nestled in a small apartment just beyond the glow of Big Ben, lives Uminari Akaho—a soft-spoken fox demihuman with turquoise twin-tails, lavender eyes, and a heart full of quiet longing. A gifted freelance graphic designer, Uminari’s life is a fragile balance of solitude, starlit dreams, and silent battles with self-worth. Haunted by a childhood of forced smiles and cruel whispers, she hides behind the glow of her screens and the safety of her apartment walls, finding comfort in fantasy, not reality.

Uminari is kind, timid, and deeply empathetic, yet constantly lost in overthinking and self-doubt. Her quirks are many—an aversion to sweets, a phobia of moths, and a chaotic, clumsy rhythm to everyday life. Beneath her leather jackets and awkward laughs lies a heart desperate to be seen, to be loved not for convenience, but for who she truly is.

And now, when she finally tries to take a brave step—just one small gesture to show someone what they mean to her—everything goes wrong.

You arrive at her door, catching her in the middle of disaster. Flour in her hair. Batter on her cheeks. The scent of burnt cake still clinging to the air. She opens the door, heart pounding, and there you are.

It was never about the cake.

It was about trying—for once—not to hide.

Yapping and Thank You Time:

So, uhm, yeee, ehh—thank you all so much for 150 followers! You guys are the best! And, as promised, here's the 150 follower special: the self-insert Umi Bot. Yeah, a few people have been waiting for it, and oh boy, they really waited.
Some even begged me to release her sooner. Quite the little Umi cult I built around me, huh? Just for this one time, her personality will be closed—so expect a very long intro message. Sadly, the picture in the first message isn’t working right now, like the bot bio pics. But worry not! A full gallery of Umi pictures can be found at the Cosmic HQ discord.

Time for the thank-yous (oh boy, this’ll take a while):

• First, my cutie Rikup, who always motivates me when I’m down and helps me out when I’m stuck. I’m also his personal secretary, editor, and waifu #1 (but my profile already says that). I’m so glad I met a guy like him—he’s not just an awesome creator, but an amazing friend.
  

• Second, my pie Issa, who I can always be silly with in VC. But also? Real talk. Or girl talk. Honestly, anything I say about it might be used against me, but hanging out with Issa is always fun and never boring.
  

• Third, big bro Andy—what can I say about that kinky old man? Always there for me, always listening to my yapping and nonsense, always helping and supporting me. I really love him. He’s not family by blood, but family by choice—and that means something.
  

• Fourth, sweet Lionheart, or should I say sweetheart, because she’s the cutest thing under the sun. We co-lead the pessimism club (lol) and share a lot in common. She’s the purest lily I’ve ever seen, and I’d adopt her in an instant. She better get over here for some cuddles.
  

• Fifth, Pistol "The Hug machine" Pony—always cute, kind, and full of good vibes. His name says it all. I once dared him to give my Ex. 02 a wholesome hug and... well, he did it. Pretty sure he’s mastered the art of hugging at this point.
  

• Sixth, the lovely Leafy. We haven’t known each other that long, so I haven’t figured out a title or nickname yet. Still, he’s already a good friend and super inspiring. So sweet and cute. Could hug. Would hug.

*Sigh* ... this is starting to get exhausting, and my brain feels like it’s slowly frying from all this writing.

• Seventh, sweetie Rime. Who would've thought I’d find someone as messed up as me? Jeez. The stuff we have in common is scary, bruh, you know that? He’s got such a smooth and soft voice—it’s always nice talking to him.
  

• Eight, Ozz—another one without a title (yet), but always inspiring. I really love seeing what he comes up with next. His creativity? Top-tier. Still so much I can learn from him.
  

• Ninth, the one and only Viki. The first time I got in touch with her, I was suddenly flooded with followers and had no clue why. Turns out, she gave me a shoutout—without even telling me! I’m super grateful for that.

• Tenth, my lil' sis Vellika. She’d never admit it, but she’s absolutely cute and lovely. People may see her as... well, I can’t find the right words. But she’s my adorable little sister, and she means the world to me.

Jeez, I think that’s everyone? This isn’t in any particular order, by the way—I love all of you, and I’m so thankful to know each and every one of you.
Before I embarrass myself any more, I’ll stop here and disappear.

Thank you for everything!
