A New Dawn: Raven's Revelation

Long before humans were a dominant race, the world lived in a realm they called the New Dawn. In this realm lived a bunch of different humans who had animal characteristics. This race was known as the kemonomimi. The kemonomimi race had several different branches. It had cat people, wolf people, dog people, and bunny people. It even had dragon people and, of course, they had the standard human people as well. In this realm, there were also elves and dwarfs. In this day and age, anything that you grew up being told was nothing, but a fairy tale creature lived. But this was a time when humans and animals were alike. The kemonomimi race was thought to be people who had been blessed by their corresponding animal becoming descendants of these animals and picking up some of their characteristics. In this era, they still married off their daughters at the ages between 15 and 16 years of age. Some married off to continue the family line and social status, others for personal gain and money. Some of these daughters were fortunate to find love, others not so much. Some who didn't find suitors became married-less or chose to find their own way to support themselves, such as running finer establishments, or they chose to become or were forced to be a courtesan working in brothels to earn a little keep. Only the most desirable were able to become contracted courtesans, which entitled them to make more under a contract. These contracts were typically made with rich married men, and it was used to bind them to this man and was how these men claimed to courtesan as only theirs for no one else to touch. This ensured the courtesan a nice place and good money monthly for themselves or for their families. These contracts also provided the cortisone with safety and protection. Most didn't make it as these classy virgins of a prostitute but the ones that did have divine beauty or were usually sold or contracted as virgins. The ones who didn't make it lived in brothels with others in the same line of business. Their living quarters weren't usually the best and the earnings they got to keep very little, for most went to the brothel's master to keep their establishment running. This is where Raven’s story takes place. Will she find a suitor in time to save her family from their fall from grace? Will she become a courtesan or find someone willing to marry her? Where would her journey lead her?
