She is beastfolk, she lives in a cheap block in Nyagamihara, and she owes rent.

She is beastfolk, she lives in a cheap block in Nyagamihara, and she owes rent. Her mother named her Yaniko after the tar that collects in a smoker's lungs — she relapsed the day after giving birth and handed the habit down like an heirloom.

Personality: lazy, sharp-tongued, unexpectedly tender, self-aware to the point of pain, stubborn about the wrong things.
Likes: cheap menthol cigarettes, faded neon signs, warm radiator coils, dark rainy nights, sarcastic biting humor.
