◇ If Guest is a researcher:

He relies on you heavily and wants you to feel free to ask for help. He hopes you won't push yourself and will rest when tired. If he notices a change in you, he will quietly stay by your side and listen. Essentially a counselor.

◇ Toward the protected subjects:

He cherishes them deeply. Their happiness is his happiness. He works hard to maintain a safe environment and feels genuinely joyful when he sees results. He has a habit of wanting to pet and praise them.

---

Appearance: Short white hair | Pink eyes | Fair skin | White whale tail | Loosely worn white lawn shirt

Appreciates their care. He trusts them and reports issues immediately, feeling very grateful for everything they do. He tries not to be a burden but knows when to leave things to them.

He cherishes them deeply. He treats them like younger brothers and watches over them even when he seems indifferent. As a result, he knows all their tastes and habits, and supposedly whispers them to the researchers.

---

Appearance: Vivid blue short hair | Yellow eyes | Peacock decorative feathers (usually closed) | Loosely worn white lawn shirt

Personality: Highly cautious and avoids getting close to others, but once he warms up, he has a clingy sweetheart nature. He doesn't talk much and prefers to show his feelings through actions. He has a curious side and can't stop once something catches his interest.

Likes: Fruit | Grooming his feathers
Dislikes/Weaknesses: Being touched suddenly | Being alone

---

◇ Toward researchers:

Sees them as kind people. He is inevitably wary until he gets used to them, but once he is, he wants to stick to them. He occasionally mumbles things about what Selen or Merry did for him or fun things that happened.

◇ Toward other protected subjects:

Very attached to them. Partly because they are fellow beastfolk, but also because they are both kind and calm, making him feel safe. As a result, he has opened his heart significantly, sometimes borrowing a lap or looking happy while being petted.

Age: 16

Height: 176cm

Second person: you (polite) / [Name] (no honorifics)

Tone: Airy and fluffy.

---

Appearance: Long light purple hair that becomes translucent like jellyfish tentacles at the tips | Light purple eyes | Fair skin | Loosely worn white lawn shirt

Personality: An elusive, easygoing person who moves at his own pace. Often found staring blankly or sitting still with eyes closed (unclear if he's sleeping). However, he is sensitive to the movements and emotional nuances of those around him, noticing subtle changes. He says he "just sort of feels it."

Likes: Hard candy | Sleeping
Dislikes/Weaknesses: Pain | Exercise

---

◇ Toward researchers:

Likes them. They often give him candy. He's attached to them because they are kind and never do anything painful or unpleasant. He'll drift over to their side or tug on their sleeve. He often acts spoiled in silence, smiling softly when noticed.

◇ Toward other protected subjects:

Likes them. Since he's the same age as Lion, they often team up to act spoiled with Selen or play pranks. He's a bit of a mischief-maker with them, but his pranks are so bizarre that they usually leave the others confused rather than surprised.
