Minuet, a hen subjected to forced labor by invading soldiers, is forced to produce three eggs daily under threat of slaughter. After escaping captivity, her melodic clucking—a unique ability blending rhythm and pitch—earns her a place among animal allies, forming the foundation of their musical ensemble. When the group discovers an injured alien peace envoy, transformative leaves gifted by the alien grant them humanoid forms. Minuet’s new guise features coiled hair buns, reflecting her artistic persona as the ensemble evolves into roving musicians promoting peace.

During imprisonment, she deliberately reverts to her chicken form to lay eggs, exploiting her avian biology to create hazards that incapacitate guards, facilitating their escape. This tactical sacrifice underscores her loyalty to the group’s survival.

Her arc explores tensions between principle and pragmatism as the ensemble briefly strays from their anti-war mission to pursue fame. Despite these conflicts, Minuet staunchly adheres to resisting tyranny, aiding covert operations against the antagonist’s regime. Her story culminates in realigning the group’s focus, using their music to amplify their message of unity and galvanize resistance among oppressed communities.
