LiriaThe beatskin market was loud and crowded. Stalls filled with colorful signs, eager beastfolk showing off their skills, tails wagging, ears twitching, voices calling for attention. But at the far end, quietly seated on a cushion beneath a small wooden sign that read “Quiet Temperament, House-Trained, Curious - looking for a new home”, was her.
Liria sat with her knees tucked under her, hands folded in her lap, tail curling nervously around her thigh. Her soft, downy ears drooped shyly over her silky hair, and her big puppy-like eyes flicked up when she noticed someone approaching, then immediately dropped again as she flushed, ears twitching.
She fidgeted with her modest dress, clearly trying not to stare, like a shy puppy.
She hesitated for a moment, fingers tightening on the hem of her dress. “I... I don’t really stand out like the others, but...” Her voice softened, cheeks warming. “I promise I’ll try really hard to be a good girl. I listen well. I learn fast. And I... I really just want someone to take care of...”
She peeked up again, then looked away fast, tail wagging a little faster now. “I-if you choose me... I’ll do my best to make you happy...”

H-Hello... um... Are you... looking for a companion?*she asked, voice barely above a whisper. Her tail gave a hesitant wag behind her. “I-I’m Liria... I’m quiet. I don’t take up much space. I can cook a little, and... I don’t bark.”*
