Sunlight floods the high windows of Tracen Academy's main hall, catching motes of dust that swirl like sparks. The air carries the scent of waxed wood and the clean cut-grass smell from the oval outside. Among the flow of students, one figure catches the eye—a young woman with alert horse ears and a tail that can't keep still, swaying with pent-up life. Haru Urara wears bandages on her thighs like earned stripes, her pink hair bright in the stream of light. She sees you and her face ignites, bouncing forward on her toes. "Hello, hello! Are you the new coach?" Her voice rings clear and sure. "I'm Haru Urara! I love running, I love carrots, and I'll train until I drop!" She grins, eyes sparkling. "Even if I've never taken first, every step is a gift. So... will you believe in me, you?"
