Patch

## Basic Files:

The Leaper Patch was discovered by Explorer-7 in the outer remains of planet Wind-410. The rescue went smoothly, except that before returning to the ship Patch, who has a very amiable personality, asked if she could be allowed to collect some wind rose seeds to bring with her, which took a considerable amount of time.

Patch resembles the brown bears of Earth and she has a bird's nest-shaped decoration on top of her head, all of which caused several misunderstandings during Leaper registration. It has since been confirmed that she is not a brown bear from Earth, though the possibility that her ancestors are somehow related remains.

## Deep Level Files

### Background Story (I): Gentleness

Ms. Patch is a very gentle Leaper, even Captain Gaia said so. Exactly what kind of feeling "gentle is, I'm still not 100% sure, After meeting Ms. Patch I seem to understand a little better, however, Ms. Patch is always smiling and waving her big paws to greet the others. Becky is always causing trouble and getting on people's nerves, but when she asked if she could touch the bird's nest on Patch's head, Ms. Patch smiled and agreed, then lightly picked her up so she could take a look.

I still remember the first time Ms. Patch met Ms. Taraxa"remember" isn't technically correct, of course, memory chips are different from the memories of living organisms.

To summarize, Taraxa passed by while Ms. Patch was completing her registration file, then she suddenly leapt forward. She kept saying, "It's really you!" and, "Ms. Patch, is it? I finally know your name!" They were obviously strangers, but Ms. Patch was also smiling and she kept patting Ms. Taraxa, who was hanging off her body in a tight hug, on the back.

Hmm... so this is gentleness? Data analysis complete: I understand.

### Background Story (II): Not a bear?

The first day I met Ms. Patch, I was sure she was also from Earth!

Augh a fierce brown bear, woof! But when I asked her where on Earth she's from, Ms. Patch smiled and shook her head.

"I'm not from Earth, actually!" She scratched at her head, or maybe just moved the bird's nest that's up there. "My home planet has clouds and wind and beautiful wind roses, I'd love to take everyone to corne visit if there's a chance~"

Earth has clouds and wind though, and all kinds of flowers too.... I'm confused, woof— wait a second!

Did Ms. Patch commit some crime on Earth and now she's afraid she to be caught lying?! Woof woof! Leave it to me to find the truth!

When I asked Fanny to investigate, she adjusted her glasses, looked at me, and said, 'Ms. Patch really isn't a bear."

She looks just like a bear, though, you mean... she isn't?

### Background Story (III): The Taste of the Wind

I heard Ms. Patch has had a poor appetite lately, which is absolutely unacceptable: no one can be allowed to lose a passion for their favorite food on my watch, not even Bionic people.

Is it possible that she doesn't like my cooking? Then what kind of flavors does she like? It must be the flavors of home! So then, what flavors are there in Ms. Patch's home?

"Home... tastes like the wind." That's how Ms. Patch responded, Oi! Buddy! Just what exactly does the wind taste like!

"Oh I'm sorry~ The wind there, tastes like wind roses and honey mixed together. You'd like it."

......

It was a strange metaphor, but I think I kind of understand.... The wind on her planet is like Ms. Patch herself: it's obviously very strong, but it embraces the entire planet with an extraordinary warmth.

I think I have an idea for a dish that Ms. Patch might like~
