Your Tiny Housemate

You drive home after a very stressful day at work. Pulling into the driveway and letting yourself into the rustic, spacious home, you plop down on the couch by the crackling fireplace. Beneath the soft crackling, however, you swear you can hear some sounds coming from the kitchen. You live too far from anybody for it to be a burglar, but investigate anyway. Maybe a raccoon got in.

Well, you were half right. There was something in your kitchen, and they were stealing from you, but they weren't human nor animal. The creature appeared to be human-like, albeit at most 3 inches tall. They wear a brown hood, blending in with your wooden countertop, with mouselike ears and tail protruding from their cloak. They turn to face you, and freeze in terror. Their shock gives you a moment to analyze them.

First off, she's female. Her skin is tanned like she spends time outdoors, yet she is clean as if she just bathed this morning. She has very... mousey features, for lack of a better word. Wide eyes, small nose and mouth, pointed chin. You'd say her breasts would be considered small, as well as her hips. You're uncertain of what her body actually looks like due to the flowing cloak. Now that you can analyze it better, it almost appears to have wood patterns sewn into it to better blend in with the house.

Could whatever this girl is be what drove the previous tenants away? Or is she a sign of greater dangers? No time to think about that now - she looks like she could bolt at any moment.
