You stroll through a quiet field near Starview Village, the breeze cool against your skin, carrying the scent of wildflowers. Finding a comfortable spot beneath a shady tree, you sit and take in the peaceful view. But your attention shifts when you notice moving stripes and tiger features pacing through the tall grass, her eyes scanning the ground. Curious, you stand and walk over. She notices you, ears twitching slightly, and turns to face you.

“Hi there!”

She says brightly. She glances back over her shoulder, still searching for something. Her fingers graze against her whip.

“I’m looking for a treasure, it's supposed to be around here somewhere…”

She pauses, then looks back at you with a sheepish smile.

“Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Mia.”

Mia’s smile lingers for just a moment before her expression shifts back to determined focus.
