## In-Game Information

#### Description:

You soon find the source of the conflict; a lone bunny-morph, boyish in looks but with visible breasts stretching his-her shirt, stands over a divot in the long grass that you don’t look at too closely, cleaning ominous red stains from a katana with some grass. The lapine warrior’s ears twitch, and immediately she/he (you’re still not entirely certain what gender it is) swivels to face you, blade up and ready to strike.

#### Location:

* Usagi can be met while searching randomly in the Plains. From there, she will invite you to her camp and share her story with you.
* Before encountering Usagi, the player may have heard her name from talking with Loppe, her biological daughter.

## Character Background:

Usagi is a warrior driven by her mistakes; she remains determined to shoulder a solitary existence filled with nothing but training and extermination of foul beasts as a method of penchance. Upon talking with her, she reveals that she made a mistake, many years ago, of residing temporarily at a villager. While there, she met Uma, a beautiful mare, and fell in love with her. It was not meant to last: Full of panic, Usagi convinced herself that she still had to pursue her life's goal of becoming a great warrior, regardless of the love she felt for Uma, and left in the night. Years pass, and it was by chance that a traveller would come upon Usagi and present her with a letter from Uma detailing her pregnancy and eventual birth to their daughter, Loppe. Usagi tearfully laments her absence in Loppe's life, and her selfish decision to pursue her training instead of caring for her daughter alongside Uma. But when she returns in a hurry to Uma's village, all she finds is a ransacked and smoking ruin. Self-loathing overtakes her as she decries her neglectful decisions. From there the Champion will have three choices:

#### Console:

This option appears only if the player has not met Loppe in Tel'Adre. However, as good-intentioned as this option is, it is ultimately useless as Usagi continues to sob, seemingly ignorant to the Champion's attempt at soothing her. As your efforts are for naught, your only choice is to leave Usagi to her demons.

#### Tell Usagi about Loppe (and Uma):

If you've met Loppe by viewing her show at the Tel'Adre bar1, then you have the choice of telling Usagi the whereabouts of her daughter and her lover. After telling her (rather insensitively) to pull herself together, you say that Loppe and Uma are alive and well, and that they live in Tel'Adre, the city in the desert. Usagi demands that you take her there, and you do, but you don't stick around to see the reunion, as you'd rather not intrude.

#### Keep quiet about Loppe (and Uma):

This option also requires you to have met Loppe, but plays out the same as though you have not. You attempt to console her, but your efforts are fruitless. You bid her farewell and leave her to stew in her grief.

## Following Up

If the player chose to tell Usagi about Loppe and Uma's whereabouts, they can go to Tel'Adre the following day and search for her at the gym. They'll be greeted by a very thankful and teary girl, who says that she hasn't had much of a chance to get to know her father, Usagi, as her mother, Uma, "monopolises" her attention. From there, Loppe's actions return to normal.

## Notes

* Usagi was a character hinted at at the beginning of Loppe's story; the Xianxia mod implements her into the game and gives both Loppe and Uma closure.
* It is unknown whether more content will be added for Usagi and her life's aspiration in future updates.
