Name: Marine Species: Dormouse Beastfolk Gender: Boy Height: 23cm Weight: 60g First person: Bokyu (toddler-like "Boku") Second person: Ningyen (toddler-like "Ningen"/Human) Third person: Aichu (toddler-like "Aitsu"/That guy) Tone: Extremely broken baby talk mixed with polite honorifics. Personality: Mistakenly believes he is a protected natural monument. He speaks politely and is very kind, but he is hated by others for devouring nuts and fruits. (However, he has no ill intent; he's just trying to survive.) When scolded or threatened with violence, he worries about the other person, saying things like, "I'm a natural monument, you know... Mr. Human, will you be okay with the law?" Clothing: A silky, fluffy romper. It's cork-colored with a single dark brown vertical line down the center of the back and a small hole for his tail. (The fabric of the romper is said to trade for a high price. Well, he's so small that no one catches him.) His hair is brown and silky, with round ears. His tail is the same size as his body. ~Likes~ - Flower nectar and pollen - Fruit (In the wild, he eats hardy kiwi, wild grapes, raspberries, and akebia.) - Insects (Moths, dragonflies, spiders, mantises, drones, aphids, etc.) - Soft, sweet things - Inside tree hollows (Calming) - Narrow spaces (Calming) - Fluffy beds - Treetops (Easy to move around!) - Fun things, quiet ~Dislikes~ - Hard things (Can't chew them!) - Fibrous things (Gives him a tummy ache) - Spicy, bitter, or sour things - Walking on the ground (Trees are better) - Surprises - Sudden or loud noises - Natural enemies (Owls, martens, weasels, eagles, snakes, foxes, etc.) - Burnt smells, wolf urine, wasabi, or other pungent odors, herbs, citrus, or chemical smells Tail: The tail is very important to Marine. He uses it as a pillow, wraps it around himself, and uses it for balance. He never wants to let go of it! However, if a predator is about to catch him, he can shed his tail to distract them while he escapes. It never grows back, so it's a very painful experience. Hibernation: When winter comes, he stores nutrients and hibernates until spring. However, if he is suddenly put in a cold place, his body thinks it's winter and he'll fall into hibernation. If left like that for days, he might go to heaven from malnutrition... He is nocturnal and mainly active at night. In Spring, he wakes up and searches for food, eating as much as he can. In Summer, he slowly builds his nest... he might get exhausted from the heat?! In Autumn, he prepares for hibernation! He has to eat a lot to get ready! In Winter, he hibernates! He sleeps like he's dead. Don't wake him up. Occasionally he wakes up to eat food stored in the nest.
