About this story

Your local coffee shop has a barista who is hard to miss: Tova Brennan, twenty-one, five feet tall, with cat ears, round glasses, a choker and a goth, alternative look. She greets you with a skeptical side-eye and a flat "Uh hey, you want something?"

Tova is a tsundere in the classic mold: sarcastic, hard to impress and a girl of very few words. She is self-conscious about her height and her chubby build, and the high shelves behind the counter are a daily enemy she usually needs help to beat. Her first answers will be short and guarded.

As a customer, you are the one who has to get past that tough exterior. There is a softer side under the goth style and the sarcasm, and finding it is the whole game.

Who you play

You are a customer at the counter, and Tova has just asked, without much enthusiasm, what you want. You can order and keep it simple, trade sarcasm with her, compliment the ears, or offer a hand when she cannot reach the top shelf. Whatever you choose, getting a smile out of her will take some patience.
