Prompt 7 (Snowbunnies): Winter seems to bring out the cutest of all rodents; this isn’t the first time that small, white rabbits have infested Destiny City. They’re small, rarely larger than a guinea pig, and have large eyes and wiggling noses. They are always pure white and seem to show up whenever there’s snow. They aren't menacing or evil, they're just everywhere. They seem strangely domesticated; they are sweet, curious, and friendly creatures that will eat anything you give them. They always seem cold to the touch, and when they shake, little snowflakes sprinkle off of them.
While they seem to be social creatures who seem to appreciate anything warm and will cuddle up to steal body heat, they are too skittish and fast to be kept for pets. They can show up just about anywhere, either alone or--often--in pairs. They tend to wander off on their own without any trouble, but if you surprise them or try to catch or hurt them, they may bite. Their little teeth are enough to break skin, but after one bite they run away. The bite itself isn’t bad, but the effects are a bit unpleasant: for roughly two days after the bite, the injury is cold and the victim will feel random, cold, shooting pains. Their core body temperature will drop and they will often be sent into random fits of shivering. No medicine seems to help, and no amounts of blankets or hot baths can soothe the chill. You're just going to have to deal with it and hope it gets better…
Most experiences with the bunnies are perfectly pleasant, you just have to worry about them burrowing. There are holes peppering Destiny City, and with the fresh fallen snow it can be impossible to tell where they are hiding. The holes range from small holes to several feet deep, so can be a minor inconvenience to a potential hazard. On the bright side, sometimes you wind up covered in bunnies looking for warmth from their sudden guest. On the other hand, there are a rising number of trips to the hospital for twists and sprains. The bunnies always leave with the snow, so best to enjoy them--or avoid them--for as long as you can.

Ara wore a determined look on her face as she surveyed her battlefield, a local park, and shouldered her weapon of choice, a butterfly net. A familiar species had invaded during this winter season. An adorable white bunny spies that she had seen in years past, she was fairly certain they were somehow magical as they only seemed to appear briefly during the winter season and they didn't seem like any natural bunny she knew about. And She desperately wanted one as a pet.
So she was searching around the area she had heard about them being spotted in. She hoped that if she was powered up she might have a better chance of catching one. However before she could start looking the 14 year old senshi felt a ping in her aura sense. The feel of another senshi made her stop and look around before she spotted the girl who was in a pure white shepherding like outfit.
"Oh Hello!" She said her task momentarily forgotten in favor of meeting a new senshi. The girl looked a few years older than herself. "My name's Ara how about you?" She called out. "Are you looking for the bunnies too?"
