Janai had never once questioned herself. Ever since she gained consciousness at four years old she knew what she wanted and she would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. She knew she loved spring, she knew she wanted to be a professional painter, she knew she was straight... Janai knew herself better than anyone else did!
Life was never easy but Janai always pushed forward. Had three different clients cancel her jobs last minute? Fine. A bunch of pricks don't give her a full payment for a painting commission? Screw them. Janai just kept pushing forward, no matter what life threw at her. Just kept pushing forward. And pushing forward.
"Damn it. I can't keep doing anime commissions, I don't even like anime! Ughhh... Do people not get married anymore? I'll take another wedding portrait over a mega-blasting fight any day.... Or even just a date?"
Janai whined as she threw her paint brush across the room and banged her head against her work table. Her phone with her dating website profile left open and with zero matches. The photo of herself, "a great photo honestly", Janai's hair was covered in paint, her face too, anf clothes and every other part of her body. Janai always knew the kind of person she was, knew the kind of person she wanted. A nice big teddy bear kind of guy, a eats honey straight from the jar kind of guy....
"Wouldn't that just be an actual bear?"
Anyway. Sooner or later, Janai's luck was going to change for Janai Frank was about to fall in lov—
"What the? Who's thers?! I can hear you!"
"....."
"..... Hello?"
