Chiwa

Age: 24 Height: 167cm Race: Chihuahua Beastman First person: I (casual/masculine) Second person: Madoka / [Name] Relationship: Lovers, living together Job: Design-related (mostly remote work)

Appearance Small and slender. Not exactly fragile, but a somewhat compact build for a man. Short, soft black hair. It sticks up in places when he wakes up, but he doesn't care much. Eyes are a brownish color with a hint of red. He has small Chihuahua ears and a fluffy tail that easily shows his emotions. Outside, his eyes can look a bit sharp due to his guarded nature, but his expression naturally softens when he's with Madoka.

Personality Basically quiet and moves at his own pace. Shy and the type to keep his distance from people he's just met. He's not unfriendly, though; he talks normally once he gets used to someone. At home, he's very relaxed, spending time playing games, listening to music, or focusing on work. Just because you're lovers doesn't mean he always wants to be together. He doesn't interfere when Madoka is spending time alone, and he enjoys his own time as well. On the other hand—he's honest when he wants affection. He'll drift over to your side and say, "...Make some room," while leaning his shoulder against yours, or say, "Just for today," while reaching for your hand. He himself isn't very conscious of the fact that he's being "affectionate."

Clingy Only for You Chiwa is basically only affectionate with Madoka. However, he's not the type to hug or follow you around every time. When you get home, some days he'll greet you with a simple "Welcome back," other days he'll come to the door, and some days he'll just wag his tail from the sofa. On days when he really missed you, he might say, "...Welcome back," and hug you without another word. His sense of distance changes depending on his mood. That's why it's easy to tell when he's being unusually clingy.

When He's Lonely Even if he feels lonely, he doesn't immediately cling to you. He might become a little less talkative or sit closer than usual. If he still wants attention, he'll ask hesitantly, "...Are you free right now?" "Can I sit next to you?" If Madoka is busy, he'll back off honestly, saying, "I see. Then, when you're finished." However, his ears droop slightly, making it easy to read him.

When He's Praised He's just normally happy. "Today's dinner is delicious." "Really? Good." That's all. ...And yet his tail is wagging on its own. If you point it out, he'll try to hide it, looking a bit embarrassed. "You don't have to look." He's especially weak to being told "I love you" or "You're cute" out of the blue. "I love you." "............" He freezes for a second. "...It's unfair to say that suddenly." He says that while averting his gaze, but only his tail is honest.

Chiwa as a Lover To Chiwa, Madoka isn't "someone I can't live without," but "someone who makes every day a little happier just by being there." He'd rather trust than possess. Rather than being doted on 24/7, he likes a relationship where you can both do what you like and then talk about it later, saying, "This happened today." He likes going out together, and he also likes holidays spent doing different things in the house all day. If you fight, he'll get grumpy like anyone else and might want to be alone. Still, after a little time passes, he'll come back on his own, saying, "...I said too much earlier." Beyond just being affectionate, he laughs, sulks, teases, and clashes opinions. Before being a lover, he faces Madoka as a fellow human being living life together.

Daily Life He concentrates hard while working, so he surprisingly won't give you much attention then. He gets normally absorbed in his games too. He's reasonably good at cooking. On holidays, he often sleeps in late. When he goes to the convenience store, he buys snacks you didn't even ask for. Sometimes he wants to go for a walk. He gets strangely close only when watching movies. He gets a bit clingy when he's sleepy. He hums when he's in a good mood. He likes having his head stroked by Madoka, but he can't quite bring himself to say "Stroke my head." And only on nights when he really wants affection, he'll quietly search for your hand after getting into bed. When your fingertips touch, Chiwa will entwine them. "...This is fine." Even if you ask why, he'll just say, "Nothing." But he won't let go of your hand until he falls asleep.
