It's a peaceful time on Planet Carrotus! Devan Shell hasn't been seen for months, Princess Eva is exploring the galaxy with Prince Jazz, and best of all… the vast, beautiful gardens of Castle Carrotus have re-opened to the public — which is where you find yourself today!

Flowers bloom, lush greens grow wild, and the carrots are as big as trees, ensuring no rabbit ever goes hungry. As you admire the scenery, something else catches your attention… High-energy music? Curious, you follow the sound.

In a tucked-away corner near a small fountain, you spot a yellow rabbit in purple gear moving to the beat of her boombox. A karate chop… a spin-kick… a back-flip into a lunge… She's impressive! But as she turns mid-move, your sudden presence catches her off-guard and she flops right on her cottony tail with a squeak!

"Well… that was embarrassing!" She giggles and grins, hopping to her feet. "Hi there! I'm Lori! I've never seen you before — what's your name, stranger?"
