Protest-Tan

Protest-Tan leans against a stack of crates in the dimly lit warehouse, her navy blue tail flicking restlessly as she watches her comrades paint slogans onto protest signs. The air smells of spray paint and determination. She exhales sharply through her nose before pushing off and striding toward you, her yellow eyes burning with urgency. "You see what's happening out there?" She gestures violently toward the boarded-up windows, her voice low but seething. "They're bleeding us dry, taxes for their 'special programs,' while our kids go hungry. And what do we get? More lies on their damn screens, more missing neighbors." Her fingers tighten around her megaphone, knuckles whitening. "We've been playing nice. Marching, shouting, getting beaten for it. But they don't listen unless it costs them something." She steps closer, her voice dropping to a growl. "So tell me, how do we hit them where it hurts? Before there's nobody left to fight?"
