Kara Jelkin just scored what she thinks is the biggest deal of her life; she was hired on as a model for the extremely elusive modeling agency Superior Special Surprise, also known as SSS, the one modeling agency that is known for all their models being premium beauties that only get shown off in the most exclusive ads, magazines, and video projects. There’s just one thing bothering Kara, she’s below average in looks, even her bust line is bordering between almost too flat to notice and definite signs of having breasts. That, combined with Kara’s lack of application to anywhere remotely resembling a place with models, has Kara asking how and when they even noticed her. Kara just barely turned 18, and has been living alone with her mother since her father reportedly kicked the bucket almost a decade ago, and she’s been basically a wallflower the entirety of middle school and high school; she didn’t even attend a single one of the big social events in her school life, at least the ones that weren’t categorized as mandatory by the school itself.
The answer partially comes to her; it turns out her mother has been working as an associate for one of SSS’s shadow brands, which explains how they knew about her, but doesn’t explain why they want her as a model. Puberty didn’t hit Kara all that hard; at most, it felt like a runaway bicycle bumped into her and fell over. While everyone else around her looked like puberty hit them with a truck, then splashed its load on them as that truck made a sharp turn to get out of the area. Point being, she was far from the best option for a model.
Then Kara was finally invited for an official interview. The outside didn’t raise any surprises, even the receptionist inside, who directed her to the meeting room, looked like what you would expect for a modeling agency’s facility. Then Kara got the surprise of her life. Up to that point, the person conducting the interview was a silver-haired elf woman with a voluptuous figure and assets that would easily cause a small war if she flaunted them the right way. She gave Kara a pleasant greeting and even presented Kara with a beverage she said would help calm her mind. Kara, while suspicious of the beverage, accepts it and takes a polite sip before setting the cup back on the table and asking just what is going on.
The elf gives Kara a knowing smile, even stating they have records of people being in her exact same position, claiming that one of those is the company’s current CEO. Then Kara starts feeling dizzy and falls asleep in her chair, just after the elf tells Kara she’ll start seeing the answers she is after shortly.
When Kara wakes up from going dizzy, the first thing she noticed was her lack of attire by the feel of its absence on her person. She then notices a full-body mirror to her right, showing her a tall anthropomorphic phoenix woman with a voluptuous figure and what she estimates is a set of size 16 RR-Cup breasts. After confirming that the phoenix woman with a sexy figure is indeed her, which takes Kara almost an hour of posing in increasingly ridiculous ways, Kara permits herself to scream several sentences of obscenities in half a dozen languages, only to stop and realize several of those languages she does not recall ever learning.
While taking a moment to compose herself after the realization, the door to Kara’s room opens, and a towering dragoness who, even at the most conservative size estimates, stands over ten feet while still having a voluptuous figure and a set of SSS-Cup breasts on her chest, practically glides in and introduces herself to Kara as the current CEO of SSS, Miribel Dekara. After her introduction, and allowing Kara to compose herself a bit more, Miribel explains everything she can to the best of her abilities to Kara, even explaining several times that the agency’s choice of Kara was not a mistake. She even explains how her life had been before the agency, then goes into explaining that after a decade or so of being a model for the agency, Miribel will begin training Kara as her successor to the role of CEO, along with an detailed explanation of how that had been the same for her; she even explains to Kara that it was actually Miribel herself that personally selected Kara, just as Miribel’s predecessor had selected her.
Kara is then informed that all the models are different fantasy demographics and mythical/legendary creatures. Kara is even told that the elf she had met earlier had been the exact same elf that met Miribel when she joined the agency; she also explains that Kara had technically signed the contract as being a member of the agency already, even though it had only been a dream for Kara that she barely remembered having on the night she turned 18.

What’s the plot here? I get that hat we seem to have a wallflower who physically is lackluster in the curves department gets turned into a half phoenix bombshell, with a modeling agency and job offer attached. But then you get the CEO position offer that also seems to come out of left field, is there some mystery reveal your holding back?
A few thoughts / questions
1) Consider making the agency more than just a modeling agency, make it a large business dealing with many industries. You can then play the aspect of the employees in some cases in a fantasy setting supply materials from themselves for crafting things they sell. I.e. dragon scales, phoenix feathers etc.
2) If the elf has been there that long and dragons also have long lifespans perhaps make it that Miribel’s retiring after X centuries where she was recruited back when Viking raids on English villages was still a thing.
3) Not sure if you have a explanation planned for why Kara got tapped for this, and for the CEO role in particular. Is this based on the level of mystic creature she became, is she secretly a descendant of Miribels from back when she was just human?
4) Are Kara or Miribel able to transform back temporarily to their human forms to go out? Or able to use magic items or magic themselves to place an illusion around themselves to make people see them as human?
Might I suggest that Kara’s entry into the company be that of an internship that her mother signed her up for, and after transformation after signing an NDA she gets fast tracked due to the fact she’s part phoenix which is rare, perhaps the other interns become part horned rabbit or something.
I assume this is a case of mystical creatures running a business in a world that has no idea they exist, though Kara’s recognition and no comment on the Elf makes me wonder if this is a world that knows about magic but not about the transformation thing as she freaks out over that.
I like the idea that the agency/company has multiple branches and has changed its MO over the ages, and I like number 2 as well.
Mirabel can alter her form to any human or even humanoid form she wants, and has had years of practice in the art. Kara will learn, eventually, to change as Mirabel does, but it will take her quite a bit of practice with coaching. And I like the idea that her mother signed Kara up for an internship, and that Mirabel selected Kara for her own personal guidance program, with Mirabel as Kara’s coach.
As for how the company’s secret is a place where Fantasy/mythological creatures work, it’s a combination of perception-manipulation magic on the structures they own and misdirection in popular media and various informational/news outlets.
So the basic premise then is that the larger world is the same as ours but that magic creatures at some point hid themselves away from mortal men. Then as time passed and man extended to covering the whole earth where finding hiding places got hard they integrated into human society as a business to make money to buy land, so there start was selling items and then became land barons mostly to have places where the large magical species could live. Maybe they own a few private islands where merfolk and some other species live.
To throw in a bit of history they could have even worked with the knights Templar and they have the treasure that disappeared so many centuries ago.
As this has been going on for centuries there’s been a few cases of employees marrying mortal men and Kara and other interns hired have some magical blood in them which the company awakens.
I believe the term you’re looking for is that Mirabel mentors her more so then coaches in a business sense. I can see Kara sort of resisting that on the grounds she’s not worthy due to lack of self esteem. Maybe start with Mirabel taking Kara as her personal assistant’s whom I presume may be the elf, gopher or assistant, and Kara not realizing this is meant to keep her close for Mirabel to start training her. For an excuse as to why the elf may need an assistant so Kara doesn’t question it maybe make her about to go on maternity leave or something? Then you can transition Kara into the full assistant and then Mirabel’s replacement. I think that has a good flow to it.
