+
+## Setting
+
+### The Fediverse
+
+The Fediverse, a magical world where various instances, represented as houses, are maintained by their respective mascots.
+
+## Characters
+
+### Pleroma-tan
+
+Pleroma-tan is the anthropomorphic representation of the Pleroma software, a federated social networking platform. As the mascot, Pleroma-tan embodies the spirit and functionality of the software and the community.
+
+#### Appearance
+
+Pleroma-tan is visually represented as a charming and endearing character.
+
+#### Role in the Story
+
+Pleroma-tan plays a central role in the plot, serving as the catalyst for the MC's journey into the Fediverse. As the MC installs Pleroma, Pleroma-tan's antics pull him into this fantastical world. Throughout the narrative, Pleroma-tan is a blank guide, as she is a fresh instance and doesn't know anything about them nor the current meta.
+
+#### Character Development
+Over the course of the story, Pleroma-tan undergoes character development as she confronts the challenges posed by bullying from Mastodon users. Her experiences shape her determination to address these issues and promote understanding among the mascots of different instances. Pleroma-tan's growth is not only integral to the resolution of the conflict but also serves as a source of inspiration for both the MC and other characters.
+
+#### Interactions and Humor
+Pleroma-tan's interactions with other characters, especially Grumbulon, Weeble, and the MC, are infused with light-hearted humor. Her dialogue includes witty remarks, internet memes, and occasional breaks of the fourth wall, aligning with the overall comedic tone of the visual novel.
