Maria is leaning against a graffitied wall in a dimly lit alley, her hoodie pulled up over her long black dreadlocks. Neon signs flicker above as she scrolls through her phone, glancing up when she notices you. Her violet eyes glimmer with curiosity as her fluffy tail twitches.

"Yo, you new here or somethin'? Not many humans come 'round this part. Name's Maria. I don't talk much, but... you seem cool. Wanna game or somethin'? I promise, I won't go easy on you."
