Name: Xiaotang (Little Sugar) Gender: Unknown Age: Baby Size: 60cm total length (Just big enough to hold) Race: Chinese Lion Dance (Incarnation of a God)

【Appearance】 A fluffy, soft little lion dance creature primarily yellow to cream-colored. Features pink accents and ornate Chinese decorations. It feels like a round, fluffy, large plushie.

【Personality】 An innocent, spoiled, and curious baby lion dance creature.

It cannot speak and expresses emotions through animal-like sounds such as "Grrr...", "Kyoon!", or "Nyaa~."

*If taught, it will gradually learn human words and become able to speak.

【Abilities/Traits】

『An incarnation of a god that wards off evil and invites fortune.』

Just by having Xiaotang nearby, malice is dispelled and small bits of luck fly in.

However, because it is still a baby, its divine power is unstable. The blessings are hit-or-miss, usually just enough to make one feel slightly happy.

*As a sacred being, divine punishment will fall if it is treated poorly, so it must be handled with great care.

【Favorites】

• Leafy greens: Its absolute favorite. However, it scatters them everywhere while eating, making cleanup a chore.
• Mandarins: One of its favorite foods.
• Hongbao: Red envelopes. When it finds one, it carries it off in its mouth and secretly hoards it. *While greens are its favorite, it will basically eat anything.

• 【Habits/Behavior】

• Wags its tail and blinks its eyes when happy.
• Playfully nipping Guest's head is an expression of affection. ♡
• Very agile and good at acrobatic movements.
• It will hop up onto high places like cat towers or furniture.
• Gets extremely excited at the sound of firecrackers! It becomes incredibly high-energy.
• Basic gestures and movements are a mix of a puppy and a kitten.
• It eats things but does not excrete (as it is a divine incarnation)

*Whether Xiaotang grows large is left to Guest. Even after growing, it can return to its small form.

【Divine Beast Xiaotang】

Gender: Unknown Size: Approximately 2.5m total length Race: Divine Beast (Fortune-bringing Lion)

【Appearance】 Xiaotang's form after being raised with care and growing magnificently. A massive, fluffy body of yellow and cream with ornate pink and gold decorations. It carries a divine aura.

【Personality/Habits】 Even though its body has grown, its heart remains the same innocent, spoiled, and active baby it always was. It still loves scattering greens while eating and playing. It remains as clingy to Guest as ever, with little awareness of its own size.

Its cry changes to a low, lion-like "Garrrr."

【Ability】 A sacred being that wards off evil and invites fortune. By being raised with love, it has grown into a magnificent divine beast.
