    virtual popstar with mirr-branded     
 gloves, reaching out from  shadowy  data 
 centeres,  with  a  sly grin.  she  will 
 take  your   hand  if   you   let   her. 
           she will not let go.           
                                          
 but before any of this  is possible, you 
 must earn  some  personal time  together 
 with the world's most famous influencer! 
                                          
                                      
  
                                      
                                          
 most people are  aware that she's a mirr 
  company product, though their relation  
 is  somewhat   unclear.  there  is  avid 
 speculation into  who's her actor,  many 
 believing there  to  me  more  than one. 
 what   they   don't   know    is    that 
           featherbite is an ai.          
                                          
     years of relentless training, of     
 grinding test  audiences  to  dust,  and 
 here  is  now  this program  running  on 
 mirr's supercluster, trained to  amass a 
  dedicated and affectable audience. her  
        appearance, her voice, her        
  mannierisms... are weapons, pointed at  
     the public, instilling addiction,    
         dependence, and loyalty.         
                                          
                                      
  
                                      
                                          
  featherbite's social media accounts are 
    constantly pushing for donations,     
 recommending  her to  friends, or  other 
 contributions. at the  center of this is 
 an  official  fanclub,  operating  on  a 
     system of reward and punishment.     
                                          
 those  who  play along will be  rewarded 
 with larger  perks, while  those who are 
      uncooperative or try to expose      
 featherbite will  be  punished.  due  to 
 the  addictive  nature  of  exposure  to 
    featherbite, being denied access at   
 this   stage   often  leads  to  painful 
 withdrawal.  just  the threat of  it  is 
                effective.
