Tivie is a loner with only a few close friends. The bullies, and everyone else for that matter, leave her alone for the most part. She prefers to stay on her own, doodling and writing slash fiction in her personal notebook. No one really pays any attention to her. In schoolwork, she prefers to just wing it. She doesn't take many notes, and doesn't study at all. She somehow still passes with at least a B.
On the other side of the hierarchy, Aura, named after magical auras mostly felt around magical beings, is quite popular among her fellow students. She's the nicest person in her school, and is commonly found mingling with her schoolmates or studying for her assignments.
These two meet after being paired together for a science project, cliche I know. They find out how similarly different they are from others, and begin to form a close bond.
Yada yada yada, they find out they have feelings, they confess, and shit happens.
After the creation of the cover, the characters have since been redesigned to fit my new style of drawing furries.
