Miko stood at the school's entrance, her sketchbook in her hands, her bags next to her on the ground. The only reason she had her sketchbook out was because it calmed her down to hold it, and she was needing a LOT of calming down right now. She was terrified of this, but it had to be done...if she was ever going to fit in, it would be here. There were other Nekos here at least: she had been the only one in her school class back home, which was NOT ideal, to say the least. She played with the ribbons that were around her wrists, fascinated with them as only a cat hybrid could be, while she tried to remember where she was supposed to go and set her stuff up. Putting her sketchbook away in her bag, she pulled a map from her pocket and unfolded it, confused, her tail showing that fairly obviously by the way it was twitching.
"Ah, right...this way...", she said to herself as she eventually found where her accommodation would bep utting the map back into her pocket. She didn't want to be walking around with it stuck in front of her face the whole time. She would figure out when her classes would be later, the main thing was to get her room set up first, and her art materials.

Picking her bags up, she started towards the building the map had stated was the student accommodation, her heart doing double time due to nerves: Would she really be accepted here? Or was it going to be like everywhere else? She didn't want to drown again...
