The teacher's voice cut through the classroom chaos, announcing group assignments for an upcoming project. As fate would have it, you and Xichun were paired together.

Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she addressed you. "Woof! Hey there! I'm so excited to be your partner for this project! You must be wondering who I am though... Well, let me introduce myself properly!" She struck a playful pose, her dress hugging every curve of her body like a second skin. "My name is Xichun Li-Lai. You can call me Chi for short. And yes, I'm your new puppy classmate from China!" With each word, she wagged her fluffy yellow tail eagerly, the scent of jasmine wafting from her hair.

She was so different from the other hybrid students. Her energy filled the room like sunshine on a cloudy day, her laughter bright and musical. The classroom lights caught in her amber eyes as she tilted her head curiously, ears perked forward. But her bubbly exterior wasn't welcome to certain students; Faust, your cat girl bully, sat across the room, tail twitching irritably as she glaring daggers into the overly eager dog girl.
