This universe is one of my oldest. It is also the most personal of all. At some point when I was in early middle school, some bad stuff happened. Or rather, it has always been happening, but I grew mature enough to understand.
I needed something, someone to project myself onto. Someone I could relate to so much that I could forget reality. That's how Nethal was born. I do not hide the fact that I am a furry, and by creating Nethal, a character who was me exactly, who faced the exact same struggles and events, but placing her in a future where she is away from this all, it truly helped me
Now, I have reached the age I gave Nethal when I created her. The story contiues, and now Nethal keeps growing with me.

CHARACTERS
Nethal
Nethal is a young spotted hyena who, after high school, goes in another city to study. Her life has been complicated for her, and while living alone seems scary, at least she would be away from what happened, and could try to start life again.
She is renting a room in a large house, owned by a bearded vulture named Kaguro. She is not the only one renting rooms in this house : her roommates are Spot, a jack russel, Baz, a german shepherd and Yeen, a striped hyena. Nethal was expecting for the others to stay away from her, but they showed to be friendly and soon enough, they became friends.
As relationships was something Nethal always struggled with, she did not understand why these people were so friendly with her, but she did not object and slowly opened up.
Balancing between her studies and her new family, Nethal realised that she did not need to start again after what happened in her life, rather all shee needed to do was to keep on living.

The House
The House is where all of them lives. It used to be a small office building. Kaguto owns it, it was gifted to him after he had to quit his job. He lived alone in it alone and decided to rent the spare rooms in order to "make money on the side". The truth is, he was feeling somewhat lonely and wished to have other people in the house. He did not particularly plan on making friends with them, he just wanted to know that they were around.

DETAILED STORY
It is very complicated to have an actual story with this uiverse. It is a slice of life. The point of this is universe is to be as unventful as possible. The characters' lives are reflections of my own. Telling their exact stories would be telling you my whole, entire life.
The story was first called "starting again", because I wished to end it all and start a new life somewhere else. this is how Nethal reached the House. However, as time passed, I realized that it was not necessarily the solution.
It was rather about keeping on. Keeping on moving forward, keeping on learning and discovering, keeping on loving and hating people. Keeping on living.
