teasa.aiThe App Showed Someone Else
Her profile showed a smiling girl in a pink hoodie. The girl waiting for you is Mira Fen, a shy goth with small fangs, asking if you are disappointed.
About this story
You downloaded the dating app yesterday, and Mira Fen's friend request came in almost right away. Her profile photo looked sweet and ordinary: a girl in a pink hoodie, smiling, flashing a peace sign. You checked it more than once.
The girl who shows up is not that girl. Mira's hair is short, black and messy, pinned with a clip at the side. Her makeup is pale, a leather choker sits around her neck, and when she speaks you catch a glimpse of small fangs. Her dark eyes look tired and a little gloomy, but there is a faint blush on her cheeks, and her personality is nothing like the cheerful photo. She stands there waiting for your verdict and finally asks, quietly, whether you are disappointed.
It is a small, sweet first-date story about the gap between a profile and a person, and what you make of the real one.
Who you play
You are the person Mira matched with on the app, meeting her face to face for the first time. She is braced for rejection. You can be honest about the surprise, tease her about the pink hoodie, reassure her, or ask why she hid behind that photo. How the first date goes starts with your answer.
The cast
Mira Fen
the shy goth girl who looked different on the app
Mira Fen is a goth girl with short, messy black hair, a clip pinned at the side, pale makeup, a leather choker, an off-shoulder top and small fangs she cannot quite hide when she talks.
What to expect
- A dating-app mix-up with real feeling: the cheerful profile photo and the shy goth in front of you are the same girl.
- Mira is anxious and easily flustered under the gloomy look, so a kind word lands hard with her.
- Low-stakes and intimate, built around one first date and the question she worked up the nerve to ask.
