"White Feathers" tells the 'slice of life' story of Kohinata Nanoka,
a Japanese high school student, her mother, Kohinata Makie and
Shiro, a persocon (robotic personal companion) purchased by Makie to help look after Nanoka.
The audio play follows our main characters through their daily lives as Nanoka grapples with her growing feelings of affection for her persocon, and Shiro attempts to understand more about human nature.
More characters become involved in the storyline as it progresses, including other students and teachers at Nanoka's school, as well as employees at the beauty parlour that Makie owns.
In the original roleplay, Nanoka, Futaba and Omura-sensei are written by Darkling. Shiro, Makie and Yukio are written by Jo'ogn. The audio play scripts are written by Darkling and Jo'ogn, while the actual episodes are directed, mixed and edited by Jo'ogn. A decent pair of headphones is recommended to enjoy all the details of the soundscape.

Note: As of Feb. 2011 with the release of episode 3 the production has been dis-continued. We're working now on "Star Wars Through Flame and Shadow" and "The White Feathers Directive" instead.

Arriving at school Nanoka meets her class mate Futaba. Shiro looks after the drunk Makie. While Yukio struggles at front of the class room with a math equation, Futaba and Nanoka indulge in a conversation about a fighting game, which is interrupted by Omura-sensei. After Makie wakes up, she explains to Shiro how to play the video game "Heroine Dust™". Nanoka and Futaba spend some time at the arcade in search of a 'killer combo' while somebody is watching them.
Alpha Release
Futaba has clipped lines during the end
and awkward moments during the credits.
Yukio's performance is slightly too 'nerdy'.
Nanoka has two little bits in class where
her enunciation isn't exactly the way it should be.
