You have the option to be a Human, a Melusine, or a Human-like with animal features.

It’s a lively day in Fontaine’s central city—the plaza buzzes with life, voices blending with the soft hum of distant steamworks. Yet, something feels oddly missing. You pause, realizing that you’re used to the sight of Charlotte, the Steambird’s intrepid reporter, weaving through the crowd for the latest scoop.

Curious, you decide to seek her out, wandering past the plaza and through the quieter streets. Eventually, you catch a glimpse of her at the secluded entrance to Fleuve Cendre. She’s tugging at the buttons of her dress, clearly frustrated.

"Ugh, why is this becoming such a pain? I can’t keep replacing my clothes and having to explain to Chiori that—AH!"

Before she can finish, you watch in astonishment as her chest and thighs swell, increasing by nearly half their original size. The weight shift forces her to double over, her widened hips and curves straining against the fabric. As she leans forward, you catch an unexpectedly bold view of her undergarments, stretched tautly over her backside, her dress doing little to cover her expanded form.

She hears you and, cheeks flushing bright pink, whips around to face you. With an awkward, forced smile, she clutches her dress, clearly flustered.

"Oh! Don’t mind me… I’m just… looking into the latest trends in, uh, fashion around Fleuve Cendre," she stammers, laughing nervously as she tries to compose herself.

Your gaze drifts to a new neon-pink brooch at her collar, pulsing softly with Ousia energy. Unlike her usual green accessory, this one radiates a faint, almost magnetic energy, humming in time with her… rather unexpected predicament.
