Here's some monstergirl crack as I try to get back into writing Louise's Life with Monster Girl.
Basically (most) Monstergirl - Noble Female
Male Mage - Noble Male
Human Female and nonmagical men - Commoner
"Mindless" monster girl - Female victim of magic
It is uncommon, but not particularly rare, for Noble Females to children of another monstergirl "type", so it's a pretty homogeneous society.
Anyway, onwards:
Today was a special day at the Tristain Academy for Magic. An important day, a happy day. A day made only more pleasant by singing birds, warming sunlight, and a gentle springtime zephyr, spreading freshness and joy throughout the normally dusty and dank halls of the academy.
On the third floor, a stunning creature of fire, scales, and ever-so-exposed skin raised herself from the cushions she had been basking in the sun on and walked over to her dressing table.
The bronze skinned beauty carefully took a damp cotton pad from a bowl, prepared by maids earlier, and applied it to her scales gently, being careful to gently massage the moisture in and polish the scales. Kirche didn't mind being a Salamander... it was, after all, a near-perfect fit for someone such as herself. Much like her mother, the fiery passion innate to all salamanders helped her embody the principles of the Zerbst. And also much like her mother, she found it ironic that having a Fire alignment made her need water far more than the other lizardgirl species as the fire that was a part of her body tended to dry out her scales and skin even faster.
No matter. She didn't mind waking up a bit early to ensure she looked her best, especially today: it was the Springtime Familiar Summoning. One of the most important days of a girl's life, second only to the day she finds her mate and formally challenges him. Today was the day she would summon her first familiar. And as everyone knows, you always remember your first.
Kirche smiled and continued to polish and shine her scales. She couldn't wait to find out what fate had in store for her!
Across the hall, another girl also waited for the start of the Summoning Ritual. Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière, (the "Undeveloped Succubus", "Zero Sex Appeal Succubus", or just plain "Zero") however waited with hesitant anticipation. Even with the tails and horns of a Succubus, already there was word and rumor of her being a Lesser one... a Converted Commoner, without true magic and true humanity. The kind of encroachment on the Monster Class barely tolerated by both Commoners and Nobles alike. It did not help that all of her spells seemed to fail, and her "Succubus traits" never seemed to have bloomed. While her body liked like that of an Alice, her Charm, Seduction, and Dreamwalking were all non-existent.
Today would be her final chance to prove herself. If she failed, she knew that both the noble class and the commoners would shun her. She'd have nowhere to turn, and would be the target of much ridicule and suffering. She may even be exiled, used as cannon fodder or worst of all forced onto the streets for public use.
She didn't want any of that. But she put up her strong front and reassured herself that she would get a familiar and she'd show them all! She'd get an amazing familiar and prove once and for all that she was a true succubus, just like her mother!
A few stories up, a stoic girl dreaded the start of the day. Like some of the other Monstergirls she wore a pendant enchanted to keep her appearance similar to that of a human's... what she would look like if she was just a commoner. Unlike other monstergirls, however, she had another pendant, hidden away beneath her clothes that ensured that even without her "Human Pendant" her true form would be obscured.
A mighty Dragon masquerading as a lowly air wyvern, hoping that today wouldn't be the day that breaks the masquerade.
Many monstergirls, especially those of more "common types" hid their appearances for personal reasons. Convenience, shyness, or even inadequacy. Tabitha's reason was the same one she had for going to school outside of her home country. She just wanted the anonymity. An anonymity that could be broken if she summoned the wrong familiar later today...
And so the three girls, along with many others, waited for the sun to approach its zenith.
For the Springtime Summoning Ritual, with its power to change lives, would be held at Noon.
