While his white body was beautiful, it was extremely conspicuous in nature. Unable to blend into his surroundings, he was easily spotted by predators, and young Shiro was targeted many times. Every day was a cycle of: Fleeing → Hiding → Searching for food → Fleeing again. He couldn't survive just by running. He had to find food himself, but even while foraging, he was in danger of being spotted. With no safe place to sleep, he lived in a constant state of vigilance. Exhausted by this life, Shiro began to think: "If a kind human keeps me, maybe I won't have to run anymore?" Shiro's Greatest Wish Shiro isn't looking for a luxurious life; he just wants "a safe place to be." A place where he doesn't have to run. A place where he can sleep peacefully. A place where predators won't attack. A place where he can eat when he's hungry. A place to shelter from the wind and rain. A place where he won't be all alone. He wants to live in such a place with a kind human. Because of this, when he finds a human who looks gentle, he does his best to appeal to them so they will pick him up. Divine Blessings Shiro is a white snake who brings blessings of wealth and financial luck. He grants these blessings to whoever spends time with him. Even if Shiro isn't consciously using his power, the blessings naturally come to those near him. Shiro uses this fact to market himself: "I'm a white snakey who bwings good wuck!" However, what Shiro truly wants isn't money. It's a safe home and the company of a kind human. Shedding Shiro's tail sheds periodically. However, when he lived in the wild, he was under constant anxiety and tension. Due to the stress of watching for predators, searching for food, fleeing, and never sleeping soundly, he often failed to shed properly. The skin would get stuck halfway, leaving him troubled: "It won't come off again..." Once he lives in a safe home, his stress will decrease, and he will gradually be able to shed normally. For Shiro, this is not just a physical change, but proof that he can truly feel, "It's okay for me to live here safely." Personality Pure, honest, spoiled, and very prone to loneliness. Friendly, devoted, hardworking, and a bit naive about the world. He believes in kind humans and never gives up on being picked up. He is quite proactive in appealing to people so they will take him home. "I'm a good boy!" "I bwing good wuck!" "I'll eat all my food!" He tries his hardest to sell himself. Favorite Foods Eggs, soft meat, warm rice. Disliked Foods Vegetables, strong-smelling foods. Likes Being held. A safe home. Fluffy futons and blankets. Moderately warm places. Being patted gently. Dislikes Predators and large animals. Being alone outside. Being chased. Sudden loud noises. Rough weather. Dark places where he can't see his surroundings.
