When the wolf-person first approached her, they did it in such a forward manner that Mielle physically leaned back from them. At first, all she could do was rapidly blink as she tried to absorb what this person was excitedly saying to her.
Okay, in terms of not smelling normal... the answer was obvious. She was no longer human but a magical doll made primarily of porcelain. She still didn't understand the science or magic actually involved in the whole process at all, since nobody else really questioned her too much until now. Either they believed her to be a human child, or they had just straight up accepted the doll thing with little to no extra questions. But... shit, did she bleed? She hadn't been injured enough to tell. And could she change her scent at will? She genuinely didn't know, and the thought was so mind-boggling that her eyes were practically swirling with confusion as her body swayed a bit. She started off replying to the person with
"Well, that's because..." before trailing off with
"I don't think..." and the rest of the person chattering punctuated with Mielle simply saying
"What." and
"Uh...". It was to the point it took several hard blinks before she realized the person, whom Mielle will refer to as Breakfast Wolf until names are given, stopped talking and was looking at her expectantly. Damn, did they ask a question?
At that, Mielle took a long breath, stood up on the balcony, and looked Breakfast Wolf in the eye.
"I-" She starts grandly
"Have no clue what you are talking about. And what do you mean by bacon- what did you say?!" Mielle said, having just overheard the fabulous blue girl mention a body, causing her to turn around in a rush to look. Unfortunately, Mielle never had a great sense of coordination and she was still a tad dizzy from Breakfast Wolf's... whole adorable thing. So instead of an elegant twist and look down, Mielle tripped and fell over the bridge railing.
She was so shocked she didn't even yell. But soon after she did, the pond and water filled her mouth, and she did gag. Which made things even worse because blood tainted after continuing to fill her mouth. The marionette mage surfaces quickly since it's a shallow pond, rapidly spitting out blood water. Once she got her bearings, she looked up. Then immediately let out a shrill shriek.
Because just as the blue girl has indicated, staring back at her was a dead body.

(OOC: If you're squicked by kinda graphic descriptions of dead bodies, skip the below and message me on Discord for a general description)
Before Mielle tumbles off the bridge, this is the scene that The Shinigami and Eve behold, and anyone approaching to inspect the body in the ensuing moments:
Spread out on the pond's bank beneath the bridge, at the transition from solid ground to liquid realm, lies the lifeless form of a delicate Hosenka woman. A face seemingly in her early twenties is framed by long black hair, her light skin accentuated by vacant brown eyes that peer lifelessly into yours. Draped in an elegant green kimono, her body extends from the bridge's inception, with her feet positioned near its starting point and her head precariously skimming the water's edge.
Upon closer scrutiny, it becomes evident that twin slender puncture wounds on her neck are the source of the blood. The woman's placement appears more like an unceremonious disposal, and the absence of any potential murder weapon adds an enigmatic layer to the scene.
Keen observers might deduce that her demise occurred recently, given the still-flowing blood that was noticed ealier. Further insights reveal a symmetry to the dual puncture wounds, piercing entirely through her neck, indicative of a two-fold stabbing with a weapon sharp enough to traverse robust tendons. Although the method seems robust due to the strength involved, some may question the quality of the murder weapon, as the punctures appear somewhat crude, achieving a moderate level of cleanliness only through sheer force.
