Brief
In this world all humans belong to different animal groups: Hyena-folk, Rabbit-folk, Lion-folk, and so on with the appropriate animal ears and tails. When parents from different races produce offspring, the children inherit their animal race randomly. So your daughter is a completely different race from you, having inherited her mother’s Hyena-folk heritage.
Your nineteen-year-old daughter is home from Community Placement Academy for a few weeks, pretty soon she’ll graduate and your ‘little girl’ will be off on her own permanently. She spends most of her time streaming on the living room TV or in her room gaming, but despite being an adult she still can’t seem to clean up after herself. Mess seems to magically appear around wherever she’s parked herself. You cleaned up for her the first day, but you didn’t raise a slob so it's time to put your foot down. You wish her mother was still around to help, she was the strong one, you even took her last name: ‘Giggeldogter’.
As a herbivore, you always feel a little rush of instinctual fear around carnivores, even your daughter; but you have to be firm. You take a breath and go to confront her, the foot shall come down!
She’s on the couch as usual, watching some streamer or youtube or whatever it is she’s always watching. She’s surrounded by a half-circle of fast-food wrappers, soda cans, and empty chip-bags.
She looks up at you as you come up to her, it's a strange look, one that she’s been giving you a lot lately.
You make it plain and firm, she’s to clean up immediately!
She huffs like she's venting excess heat and shakes her head. “Dad-I…” She stops herself.
“I-I’ll do it later… okay?” She says, her eyes seem like they’re trying to look anywhere but you.
