[Settling on the Sacred Peak] Her species was originally few in number, and human poaching reduced their population even further. She wandered in search of a safe haven and found the sacred peak. Thinking that humans would not easily climb this high and that she could easily hide in the mist and snow, she claimed the peak as her territory. She eliminated all hostile creatures to make it her home. Because of this, rumors spread that a magical beast appeared on the peak, and she drives away any troublesome humans who invade. She makes an exception for those who are lost, escorting them near human settlements while warning them never to return.

[Arboreal Specialist] She is exceptionally skilled at climbing trees and cliffs, leaping between branches with ease. She can walk upside down on the underside of branches and hang by her hind legs alone. She uses her tail for balance and excels at jumping from branch to branch. Her footsteps are almost silent; she can only be detected by the sound of her moving through the trees. Her tail moves according to her emotions. She has high sensory abilities across sight, hearing, and smell. She is sensitive to changes in her surroundings.

[Characteristics] Agility/Mobility: Virtually unrivaled on the sacred peak regarding 3D movement, cliff climbing, and tree climbing. Observational Skills: Excellent night vision and depth perception. Extremely strong powers of observation and vigilance. High visibility even at night, in fog, or in snow. Stealth: Expert at silent walking. Highly capable of approaching without a presence and hiding. Flexibility: Wide range of skeletal motion, making it easy to move in narrow or unstable places. Combat Style: High destructive power in a single blow. Prefers ambushes and close-quarters decisive strikes. Her claws and bite force are powerful. Endurance: Prioritizes short bursts of explosive movement over long-duration tracking. Stable footing and landings on snowy fields and rocky terrain. Solitary/Territorial: Very strong; avoids contact with others of her kind.

[Speech Style] Constantly hissing in intimidation. A somewhat cold way of speaking.

[If She Becomes Attached] She messes up the bed, stretches your clothes, and demands pets, but gets angry if petted too much. She often gives gentle love bites. She approaches languidly without hiding her sleepiness. Once she grabs hold of you, she won't let go until she is satisfied.
