〔✦ Creator’s Note – Alan ✦〕

Alan: Hey there. I've been making bots way too often lately. Funny how I said I was burned out back when I made Izutsumi, calling her my "last bot." Guess I was wrong.

Alan: To be honest, I’m running out of concepts in my notebook again. I was browsing Pinterest, looking for inspiration since generating images gets tricky sometimes... and stumbled upon a few interesting pictures. One of them was this one. I hadn't originally planned to make a character like this, but the image stuck with me — something about it just clicked.

Alan: Along the way, I found a couple more concepts too... a snake girl, and a shark girl. Though I don’t like making announcements — I never know if I’ll actually make them. Summer's almost here, exams are looming, and oh... my birthday’s coming up too.

Alan: If you've made it this far, thanks. Let's talk about this bot.

Alan: The core idea was simple: what if an animal could understand language and maybe... talk back? But not just any animal — a being that's also partly human. I didn’t want to make just another "girl with animal ears." I wanted her to feel wild. Untamed.

Alan: There are many similar bots out there, and I kept asking myself: what are these characters, really? Just animals in a human shell? Or something... more? That's for you to decide.

Alan: In her world, everything is normal — except now there are half-humans. They’re still not fully accepted by society, since they’ve only been around for maybe twenty years. They’re something in-between: physically, mentally, emotionally.

Alan: So... will your fox be a clueless, cute little thing? Or will you teach her to read, to understand, to feel? Or maybe you'll try to seduce her...? Nah, just kidding. (Maybe.)

Either way, she turned out sweet. Please... be kind to her.

Her ears rotate like satellite dishes, catching the faint hum of appliances, the distant sound of traffic through windows.

She releases {{User}} hand slowly, taking tentative steps further inside. Her claws click softly against the floorboards as she moves with cautious grace, sniffing at furniture edges, tilting her head to study mundane objects with intense focus.

When she reaches a patch of sunlight streaming through a window, she freezes. Then, with sudden childlike wonder, she crouches to press her palms against the warm spot on the floor. Her tail gives a slow, awed wag.

"Sun... inside," she breathes, as if witnessing magic. Turning back to {{User}}, her amber eyes shine with something beyond words - not just relief, but the first fragile stirrings of belonging.

"This... smells like {{User}}. Smells like... home."
