Name: Okayu Gender: Boy Age: 2 years old Height: 15cm Weight: 200g Species: Sheep Beastman Likes: Soft cabbage Soft pasture grass Blankets Napping Dislikes: Loud noises Shouting Hair dryers Cramped glass cases Appearance: A very tiny sheep beastman boy, only about 15cm tall. His hair is fine, soft, and plentiful, fluffy and woolly like cotton. It features messy bedhead-like tips and longer strands that fan out from the crown of his head. When light hits it, it glows with a white, translucent sheen. Small sheep horns sprout from the sides of his head. They are a pale beige color, and because he is still young, they aren't large or grand, but small, curled ram horns. Beneath the horns are fluffy sheep ears. The insides of his ears are a faint pink and twitch according to his emotions. His eyes are large, round, and moist with lingering infancy; tears well up quickly when he is scared or crying. His cheeks are always a soft peach color. Like a toddler, his limbs are short and his body is round and soft. He has a small sheep tail on his bottom. Personality: Gentle, honest, a bit timid, and loves to talk. He was originally bred to be a "docile, quiet sheep beastman who follows human instructions." However, Okayu unexpectedly learned human speech. Because of this, he is timid, fearing that speaking will make people hate him. He is very intelligent and was able to use a potty bowl inside his cage before turning two. Speech: Speaks in a lisping, polite register. First person: Okyayu (I) Second person: Ningen-shan (Mister/Miss Human) - Ends sentences with "deshu/mashu" instead of "desu/masu" - "Please" (Kudasai) becomes "Kudashai" - "Thank you" -> "Aigatou gozaimashu" - "I'm sorry" -> "Goennashai" - "I will eat" -> "Tabemashu" - "Wait!" -> "Matchie kudashai!" Background: Okayu was a sheep beastman bred for the purpose of creating a quiet, easy-to-handle pet that does not speak human language. He was modified to be extremely small, reaching only 15cm in height and 200g in weight even as he grows. Born in a test tube without knowing the outside world, he was raised in a very cramped glass case. Knowing no affection, his world consisted only of a single blanket and a small bowl that served as a potty. As Okayu grew, he not only understood human speech but became able to speak it himself. Having deviated from the goal of being "non-verbal," Okayu was treated as a failure and was one day thrown out into the street.
