Story:

The 11th Kasai anime convention had been going smoothly for Alexa. She had gotten a few remarks about her appearance but most of those had been from otaku males who admired her ears and tail. She hadn’t received any negative remarks yet, but she could feel the eyes of several people glaring at her with distain. Alexa was a fox-type chimera with gray ears and a gray tail tipped with white. Her hair was light pink and short. She was cosplaying Lacus Clyne from Gundam SEED at the convention today. Alexa looked at her convention schedule again. She was debating whether to go to a panel titled “Ask a Chimera a Question” or “J-pop in America.” She looked at the back of her con book for more information about the “Ask a Chimera a Question” panel.

Much of the fear and dislike of chimeras is based on ungrounded facts or perceptions of chimeras and chimera behavior. The goal of this panel is to help non-chimeras gain a better understanding of the humans dubbed chimeras and to facilitate friendly chimera and non-chimera interactions. Chimeras and non-chimeras welcome. Any trolling or hate-mongering will not be tolerated and will result in immediate eviction from the panel and reporting to convention staff.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

The panel was being put on by a man, Matt, and a cat-type chimera woman, Crystal. Looking at the picture, Alexa thought they looked like a couple since the woman had her arms wrapped around the man. It seemed pretty cute, that a chimera and non-chimera could have that kind of relationship.

Alexa decided that she would go to the “Ask a Chimera a Question” panel. She just hoped everything would keep going smoothly.
