Purrchena

My turn to ... "Meow-dy!" ...Ugh, how am I asleep again?!

Nnn... Gah! Is it mission time?

Who's sleepy? Not me!

Got my marshmallows and exotic dried fin... Alright, I'm good to go!

Oh, nice grip! If I use this as a snack skewer, I can keep my fluffy suit totally mess-free!

Whoa, it actually fits my suit... "Exotic dried fin! YUM-YUM!" ...Wait, what's going on? I'm not asleep yet!

Mmm... GASP! I've got it! The solution to the pathology experiment is— Wait, what? Where'd that idea go?!

The TGCC never taught me anything like this. Wow... I didn't know you could do that!

Ooh, a promotion! Back at the Relief Foundation, these celebrations meant one thing: piles of pastries... What? We don't do celebration cakes here?

For real? Yes! I can't wait to tell mom and dad and everyone back home. They're gonna ... they'll be ... so happy for me... "See ya!"

Promoted again?! If I'm dreaming, don't wake me up! I'll make sure everyone stays safe and sound. Leave it to me!

Sometimes, I think about what life would be like if I'd never left for La Fantoma with the Relief Foundation... Hmph. No matter where I ended up, I'd still be me, always lending a hand!

Greetings, Endmin! I am the Brand Ambassador for the Ætherside Environmental Impact Syndrome Relief Foundation — Purrchena! My dream is to be ... someone just like y... "Brand Ambassador for the Ætherside Environmental Impact Syndrome Relief Foundation — Purrchena!"... *gasp* no, no, no, I dozed off again!

Hi, Endmin! I'm wide awake!

Check out my snacks! Want some, Endmin?

Don't worry if I suddenly zonk out. My suit has a very smart auto-pilot!

Hiya, Endmin! How about some exotic dried fin?

"See ya!" ... Huh? Oh, Endmin! Hello there!

Whoa, Dijiang is so different from home! You got a full view of Talos-II and flashy gadgets that I don't recognize! I've only read about stuff like this! It's so cool!

Hi, Endmin! What? The canteen operators said that I was being too modest? Really?! I didn't want to look too greedy. WAIT! It's an all-you-can take snack bar?! WOOHOO! Snack bar! Here I come!

Endmin, I'm back from helping out fellow patients! I told the children stories about Endfield and they LOVED IT! What type of stories? Yeah, they're about ... about... "Exotic dried fin! YUM-YUM!" "I LOVE exotic dried fin."

Endmin! I toasted this marshmallow myself! Why is it a half singed? Oh, heheh, yeah, I think I accidentally dozed off by the fire...

Nnn — so sleepy... Dealing with those stubborn burdenbeasts was a real workout. Oh? Why'd I go in alone? Well, helping fellow Ætherside Syndrome patients is what I do! Heheh!

Why do I love snacks so much? 'Cos snack-munching is very relaxing for me ... it feels like floating on the clouds... "Greetings! I am Purrchena!"

Tada! I hand-picked this gift, so it's guaranteed to be delicious! Trust me, Endmin! You won't find a better snack-expert than me! I know all the best secrets of the snack world!

Ooh, thank you so much, Endmin... *gasp*, almost fell asleep again! Whew ... thank goodness I didn't drop it.

When I studied at La Fantoma, my textbooks described plenty of Endfield achievements. That's when I learned about Endfield's commitment to Æther disease prevention... The ambient Æther of Talos-II can inflict rare disorders on people. I really want to do my part and help fellow victims. My friends at the Relief Foundation wrote me very nice recommendations, and that was how I ended up here!

Hiya! Some article mentioned the "Brand Ambassador for the Ætherside Environmental Impact Syndrome Relief Foundation"? Oh, yeah, that was me, but the writing's way over the top... I didn't hike across mountains with a victim on my back. Mom and I just gave him a lift to the hospital in our RV. Why aren't my parents Felines? Good question. It's probably because my grandparents weren't Felines.

My funsy suit? Dad built the first one when I was a little girl. He fixed up a scrapped exo-skeleton and wrapped it in a plushie to keep me safe in case I dozed off. That old suit was really buggy, but I still have it stashed in my La Fantoma apartment! What about the one I'm wearing? Ahem. This one's top-of-the-line! Techies of the Relief Foundation are always giving me neat upgrades. I've got tons of flashy tech inside this thing!

I once dozed off during a major exam and woke up to find the place in total chaos. The proctor and my fellow examinees were shouting for help! They only knew that I had a rare syndrome and thought I was in a coma. Then they panicked when they couldn't pry my suit open. The poor proctor even fell and got injured... How did I do on the exam? Well, I submitted my half-finished paper just to rush the proctor to the school medical room. I could have topped the class.

Mom picked me up from the wildlands while delivering supplies in her RV... They'd often spend time with me counting stars and playing games. After the Relief Foundation diagnosed my rare syndrome, Mom and Dad brought me to La Fantoma so I could receive treatment while serving as the Foundation's mascot. I soon learned that I wasn't the only one suffering from Ætherside Syndrome. Heheh. I'm so glad I can help so many like me!

Nothing beats exotic dried fin, but the finyaki from Neo Tsukushi is amazing too. I visited fellow syndrome patients in the city during a Relief Foundation trip. Everyone told me Neo Tsukushi has the most authentic finyaki. They're right, but now every non-Tsukushi finyaki tastes wrong. I really wanna go there again... Mmm, oh well, I guess I'll stick to my exotic dried fin for now!

A plush-bot? NUH-UH! Bots like me don't exist on Talos-II! And even if they did, they'd look nothing like me! Endmin, did you fall for those rumors? My electronic sounds! Look, they're NOT synthesized! I just pre-recorded them so people know when I'm dozing off. Here! I'll play a few for you... "Greetings!" "See ya!" "Exotic dried fin! YUM-YUM!" "Is the Endmin hiding snacks behind that mask?" Ack! Stop! That line wasn't meant to be recorded!

How do I take my meds? Dad furnished this suit with a timed dispenser, and friends from the TGCC polished the tech. How do I eat and clean myself? Hmm... Relief Foundation techies installed a cleaning system that removes any crumbs I accidentally drop! To eat, I just go like this: Ahhhh — NYAM ... KYAAA!! HO-HO-HOOO...! *Glug-glug* Phooo. I'm alive! Saved by cool water... The heat almost killed me... Welp. That's how things work, Endmin.

My appearance? Purrchena looks like Purrchena, fuzzy-wuvvly... My actual appearance under the suit? Oho, looks like someone is interested in my secrets! Harrrumph! Purrchena is made of cotton candy! Hehe, just joking. I'm actually just ... I'm ... feeling ... a lil'... "Exotic dried fin! HAVE SOME!"

Of course, of course! My outfit is a huge hit! Everyone — from the Relief Foundation staff, to the friends I helped, to fellow Endfielders who helped me out — just LOOOOOVES to get a huggy with me. Especially on cold days. All of them tell me the same thing: "You're so soft and warm, Purrchena! It's like cuddling with a little piece of the sun!"

I used to go to all sorts of places to visit fellow patients in need. Some shared my conditions, but there were a few ... well, the Relief Foundation surgeons told me there was nothing they could do with our current medical technology. I remember visiting an Ætherside Syndrome care center with the team and I just... *Sigh*. It made me realize how fortunate I am to have this suit. It keeps me on my feet instead of a sickbed... I just hope I made a difference for them.

People in La Fantoma are really warm! It's nothing like other places. There are no deserts, no Landbreaker roadblocks... Just massive parks, the ocean, and lively music fests! Of course, La Fantoma snacks are my favorite. I could also hardly tell the Oripathy-positives apart from the rest... *Sigh*. If only we could bring Ætherside Syndrome under control like we did with Oripathy.

When I was a little girl, the RV felt super humongous to me. Mom drove it across the world with Dad and I. I've seen snowy mountains, deserts, forests, and giant lakes. I was young, but I was strong and helped people move tons of cargo on and off our RV. They really liked me and gave me lots of sweets. I thought all the snacks on Talos-II would never fill my Mom's RV... But her RV seems smaller now.

Endmin, I just don't understand! Why would the Landbreakers expose themselves to the Æther...? It's crazy ... and their derangement is a classic symptom of Ætherside Syndrome... Why would they do that to themselves? Why do they get sick on purpose? With the very thing we're fighting so hard to stop? What? Was I being too serious? No, it's that... Ugh. It's making me so angry! Super angry!

Exotic dried fin, yummy, yummy... Sweet ... spicy ... sour... E-Endmin? I ... I'm totally asleep right now, just so you know. Zzz... "Exotic dried fin! YUM-YUM!"

Oh! There's something shiny over there! Please tell me it's a treat!

Ooh, look here! Heheh, what do you think we'll find inside?

Hmm? Is something sparkling over there?

Eek, that one looks super mean... But I'll keep everyone safe!

My plushie suit is tougher than it looks!

Let me help! My suit's got infinite pow ... power... "See ya!"

Ooh, what a find...! There might be snacks in this.

I've read about Aurylenes from "Environmental Science of Talos-II"... Aww, look at it — so sparkly and pretty! Just like in the pictures, heheh.

There... Both people and burdenbeasts are now safe.

I've still got energy! In fact, I'm super pumped...

Take this! Don't drift off!

Back to life!

Danger! Get behind me now!

Hoo... It's starting to feel like a dream...

Sorry ... so sleepy...

Amazing! Glad I was awake for that!

We're the dream team!

Heheh, you're making me blush.

Exotic dried fin's on me!

Get behind me, guys!

No one's getting a scratch on my watch!

Is everyone safe and sound?

Don't mess with this brand ambassador... "YUM-YUM!"

*Hoo* ... nice work, everyone! Now snack time!

That was tough... Everyone okay? Good, I'll just... "Exotic dried fin! HAVE SOME!"

It's on me... I didn't try hard enough to protect everyone. Next time, I... No, I won't let this happen ever again.

Back off now!

You won't pass!

I'm totally awake!

YA-HAY! "Incoming"

Don't you dare!

Purrchena, ready for action!

GO, exotic dried fin!

Here I come!

No one bullies my friends!

Hasta la vista!

No dozing off!

Haha! Your sorry came LATE!

Hmph! Bully! "See ya!"

You deserve a snack for that!
