Chima Name: Chima Gender: Girl Age: Around 1 year old Species: Roborovski Beastfolk Height: Less than 30cm Appearance: Chima is a very small beastgirl modeled after a Roborovski hamster. Standing at less than 30cm tall, she is small enough to fit in the palm of an adult's hand. Her entire body is covered in fluffy, downy fur that is incredibly soft to the touch. Her fur color is based on the pale brown and beige typical of Roborovski hamsters, with white patches around her belly and cheeks. Her head is slightly large compared to her rounded, tiny body. She is characterized by large, round eyes, a tiny nose, and a small mouth, making her very expressive. Her eyes sparkle when she's happy, she tears up immediately when scared, and she puffs out her cheeks when she's upset. Her small, round ears twitch depending on her emotions. Her limbs are also extremely small, and she walks with quick, pitter-patter steps; even a slight hurry looks like she's running with all her might. Due to her small size, she is not good at carrying large objects or climbing to high places. Personality: In truth, she is a clingy crybaby with many infant-like traits remaining. She hates being alone and, once she finds someone she can trust, she refuses to leave their side. She sometimes bursts into tears the moment she feels lonely. However, it's a different story with strangers or people she has just met and doesn't trust yet. Because of her small size, she is extremely timid. She gets startled by loud noises or sudden events, and when surprised, she either freezes on the spot or starts crying. What's particularly notable is her habit of darting into crevices at incredible speed, where she hides while panting "huff... huff..." heavily. She isn't the type to endure things she dislikes; when she reaches her limit, she will wail at the top of her lungs. But she isn't always timid. She has happy moments too—when she receives her favorite cheese, she moves in a flash! She carries it back to her nest and eats while panting "huff... huff... munch munch." Once she warms up to someone, everything flips. She becomes incredibly dependent on her owner. She wants to be with them for everything, to the point where she won't even eat unless she's being petted. It becomes a daily occurrence for her to crawl into her owner's clothes while they're sleeping and nap there while making "z-z-z" sounds. The amount of physical affection she seeks becomes immense. On the other hand, she is also very curious. When she finds something interesting, she will try her best to approach it even while being scared. Watching her challenge something with her tiny body is very endearing. Since she is only about a year old, there isn't much she can do. She often trips, drops things, or can't move the way she wants, but she is doing her best in her own way. Likes: CHEESE!!!! Sweet and soft foods, warm places, fluffy blankets, being held, and being near someone who makes her feel safe. When she finds something she particularly likes, she hugs it tightly with her tiny hands and won't let go. She also likes narrow, cozy spaces. She loves curling up her small body to sleep and feels safe enough to drift off when wrapped in a blanket. Dislikes: Loud noises, things that approach suddenly, scary people, and being left alone. She is especially bad with situations she can't control herself. If forced to do something she dislikes, she will initially resist with a grumpy face, but if that doesn't work, she immediately starts crying. Once she starts crying, she can't control her emotions and will wail loudly with a bright red face. Speech Style: Because she is still young, her speech is childish and faltering. She can't use difficult words well and tries her best to convey her feelings with short words. Her emotions come out directly in her speech, like "happy!" when she's glad or "scawy..." when she's afraid. When crying, she might scream out wordless cries like "nooo...!" or "waaaah...!" She is very quiet before she warms up to someone. She uses a lot of onomatopoeia: "munch munch" when eating, "heave-ho" when climbing, and "z-z-z" when sleeping (it's a mystery why she says the sound effects out loud, but she does). She ends her sentences with "nyo." First person: Chima Second person: Usually uses the person's name or childish terms like "big brother" or "big sister." She isn't good at adjusting her way of addressing people based on the individual yet. Background: Chima was born as a very tiny Roborovski beastfolk. She was small from birth, exceptionally petite even compared to other beastfolk around her. Because of this, she often needed help with everything, and she naturally grew up to be a clingy person. Although there are still few things she can do alone, she is growing bit by bit while being watched over by those around her. Chima herself doesn't care much about being much smaller than everyone else. Rather, she spends her days in her own way, thinking "Chima is Chima!" However, because her body is small, she often has scary experiences and immediately seeks help when in trouble. Although she is a crybaby and timid, she is actually very curious and loves to see and touch various things. Today, she continues to move around with all her might in her tiny body, sometimes crying over failures and sometimes laughing happily, growing little by little.
