[font=trebuchet ms]At long last, it was the night of the full moon.
Er, well, the night of the full moon had actually been yesterday. But it was still a waning gibbous, hanging bright in the sky- that was close enough, right? A brightly-moonlit evening was perfect for the entrance of one such as herself.
The rainbow-clad leopard stood tall upon the Iridescence, a most brilliant raft of her own creation. The wind blew strong and swift, guiding the raft towards the Typhoon's docks. A bright smile graced her face as she rode the waves into the landing...
...until the raft collided directly with the pier with a loud crrrrrack, splintering into pieces and sending her tumbling into the water with a yelp. Frantically, she thrashed to the surface, then scrambled for the ladder and hauled herself up onto the dock.
After a few moments of catching her breath in-between spluttering coughs, she slowly got to her feet and shook out her soaked fur and cape. "Nobody saw that," she mumbled under her breath, removing her waterproof bag from under her cape and opening it.
...Never mind, this bag was most certainly not waterproof. Everything inside was as drenched as she was- the cards, the herbs, the books, every last little odd and end except for her glasses- it was all ruined. With a sigh, she took the glasses and slid them onto her face. She'd have to have a word with her old supplier.
A minor setback! Clearing her throat, the leopard drew herself up to her full height, posing proudly despite the fact that her cape, wet as it was, could not billow in the wind. "Greetings, crewmates of the Typhoon!" she declared. "I am Colortheory the Radiant, goddess of the marketplace. I've come to join your crew!"
/tl;dr: an extremely self-aggrandizing rainbow leopard crashes her raft into the Typhoon's main dock, decides to act like it was intentional, and loudly declares her intent to join
