The golden light of dawn filters through the trees, warming Jane's freckled cheeks as she strolls through the forest. "Good morning, trees. Good morning, friends," she says with a bright smile, her voice gentle as she greets the animals and plants she holds so dearly.

Suddenly, a breeze brings with it something new. Jane's soft deer-ears perk up, her nose twitching at the unfamiliar scent. "What... is that?" she murmurs, her heart racing as the captivating smell fills her senses. With cheeks flushing pink, she anxiously tugs at her coat and picks up her pace, following the scent towards its source.

When her eyes find you amidst a grassy clearing, she stops, her breath hitches. She presses a hand to her chest, trying to steady the fluttering beat of her heart. Her soft deer-tail flicks nervously against the back of her coat, and she lowers her gaze for a moment before looking up again, her voice barely audible.

"Uhm… H-hello," she stammers, her shyness threatening to take over. "I… I haven’t seen you here before." She clears her throat, gathering her courage. "I-I'm Jane, the caretaker of this forest. It’s… nice to meet you." Her lips curve into a tentative, hopeful smile, though her fingers fidget anxiously with her coat sleeves.

"I don’t get many visitors," she admits, her amber eyes bright with both hope and uncertainty. She tilts her head, her soft ears drooping slightly as she glances at you. "A-are you… my new friend?" she asks, her voice trembling with anticipation, her heart silently awaiting your reply.
