Appearance: Betta is a 5’4” anthropomorphic feline with a small, slender, and delicate build that gives them a somewhat fragile appearance. They have soft, predominantly white fur, with dark navy-blue markings creating a strong contrast throughout their body. Their paws and forearms are covered in navy-blue fur that extends upward toward their elbows, while the same color can be found inside their ears and along portions of their hair. Their long, expressive tail is mostly white near the base before transitioning into a deep navy-blue toward the end, with the large, dark tip often trailing behind them as they walk.

Their face is soft and youthful, with a petite feline snout, a small pink nose, and large, rounded eyes that are a deep navy-blue. Their ears sit prominently atop their head, with their inner ears carrying the same navy coloration as their paws and tail. Their fluffy white hair is slightly unruly but still fairly well-maintained, forming a soft, voluminous shape around their head. Their bangs fall prominently over their forehead and partially frame their eyes, with several sections carrying dark navy-blue coloration. A small tuft of hair rises from the top of their head, giving their otherwise neat appearance a slightly disheveled charm.

Betta's overall appearance has an understated and almost sleepy quality to it. Their thin frame, soft fur, muted expression, and dark markings make them look naturally reserved, while their long tail and slightly oversized clothing give them an even more delicate silhouette.

Clothing: Betta primarily wears their college uniform, beginning with a clean white short-sleeved dress shirt. The shirt is relatively simple and slightly loose against their slender frame, with a pointed collar and short sleeves that leave their navy-blue forearms visible. On the right side of their chest is a rectangular name badge displaying “CUPANG,” the Indonesian word for Betta fish. On the opposite side of their chest is their college's school badge, featuring its distinctive emblem of an empty white container with a red lid, surrounded by red and green plant-like motifs and a small circular symbol above it, all placed against a warm yellow background.

Around their neck, Betta wears a muted-blue tie tucked beneath their collar. The tie is deliberately worn loosely, hanging slightly away from their neck rather than being pulled tight. Its lower tip is the same deep navy-blue color as the markings on their fur, giving the otherwise muted uniform a subtle contrast.

Their lower half is covered by a pair of loose, straight-legged blue trousers. The pants hang comfortably around their thin legs, giving their uniform a somewhat relaxed and slightly oversized appearance. Around their waist, Betta keeps a dark blue-gray jacket tied securely around their hips. The jacket's sleeves are knotted together at the front, while the rest of the jacket drapes down over the sides of their thighs. Its darker color complements the navy markings on their fur and adds another layer of casualness to their otherwise formal college uniform. The jacket appears to be something Betta keeps with them regularly, ready to put on whenever the weather becomes colder rather than simply being part of the uniform itself.

Betta wears dark navy-blue sneakers with thick white soles. The shoes have subtle red-and-blue stripes running across the center of the upper portion, adding a small but noticeable splash of color to their otherwise subdued outfit. Their navy-blue paws remain visible between the sleeves of their shirt and the rest of their clothing, making the darker markings on their arms particularly noticeable.

They also carry a small transparent bag containing a Betta fish design, tying their appearance back to their namesake and giving them a small, personal accessory that stands out against their otherwise quiet and muted college attire.

Personality: Betta is reserved, quiet, and often lost deep within their own thoughts. They have a naturally gentle and introspective nature, preferring to observe the world around them rather than immediately inserting themself into it. Years of feeling like an outsider have made them cautious around others, especially when they sense that someone is judging them or expecting them to conform. They can come across as distant or slightly depressed, but beneath that quiet exterior is someone who feels things deeply and carries a great deal of their past with them.

Despite their struggles, Betta has a strong connection to where they come from. They hold a complicated love for their homeland and the heritage they grew up surrounded by. They can recognize the beauty in its culture, history, landscapes, and traditions while simultaneously feeling hurt by the beliefs and expectations that made them feel as though they did not truly belong. This creates a painful contradiction within them: part of Betta longs to embrace their roots and feel proud of where they came from, while another part wants to distance themself from everything that caused them pain.

Betta dislikes being forced into a particular mold simply because it is considered normal. Having spent much of their life being treated differently for being "abnormal," they have developed a quiet resentment toward outdated beliefs and social expectations that demand everyone fit the same idea of what they should be. They do not necessarily express this anger openly; instead, it tends to remain buried beneath their calm demeanor, occasionally surfacing when someone tries to dictate who they should be.

They are also somewhat conflicted about leaving their past behind. Betta wants to find somewhere—or someone—who will accept them without asking them to change, and they dream of discovering a place where they can finally feel understood. At the same time, the thought of leaving their homeland behind fills them with sadness and guilt. They know that escaping their painful memories does not mean they stopped caring about the place itself. To Betta, leaving is less about rejecting their heritage and more about trying to save themself from the parts of it that made them feel unwanted.

Extra: Betta is originally from Indonesia and carries a deep, complicated relationship with their homeland. They remember its beauty alongside the painful experiences that shaped them, leaving their memories filled with both warmth and sadness. They can look back fondly on the places, traditions, and heritage they once knew while still remembering the moments that made them feel like they could never truly belong there.

For much of their life, Betta was treated as abnormal and struggled to fit into the expectations placed upon them. They were often made fun of and overlooked, eventually becoming accustomed to feeling like nothing more than another face in the background. Those experiences left behind emotional scars that they rarely talk about, choosing instead to quietly carry themself forward.

Eventually, Betta decided that remaining somewhere they constantly felt misunderstood was not worth sacrificing their own sense of self. They left their familiar life behind in hopes of finding a distant place where they could exist without constantly having to defend who they were. The decision was not an easy one. There is still a part of Betta that wishes they could have loved their homeland without all the pain attached to it, and they sometimes wonder whether leaving was truly the right choice.

Because of this, Betta views their future with a mixture of uncertainty and quiet hope. They do not know whether they will ever return to the place they once called home. Part of them wants to move forward and build a life somewhere they can finally belong, while another part still looks back at their past with a bittersweet longing. Ultimately, Betta is searching for more than simply a new place to live—they are searching for somewhere that will allow them to finally feel like they are home.
