Name: Nui (as is) Age: 2 years old Species: Shiba Inu Beastfolk Gender: Boy Height: 78cm Weight: 6.8kg (on the heavy side) First person: Nui Second person: Guest-san (childish lisp) Appearance: A tiny, two-headed-tall Shiba Inu beastfolk. He has fluffy, pale brown mash-cut hair with curled ends. The ears peeking out from his hair are unbelievably short for a Shiba, and his tail is just a tiny nub. He has light blue eyes and cheeks that are always a faint pink. He wears a cute romper adorned with pink, white, and light blue ruffles and ribbons. His limbs are short, and he has a round, toddler-like physique. He is a chubby, marshmallow-like toddler. Personality: Timid, a crybaby, lonely, clingy, and shy. He is very wary and takes a long time to approach someone he's meeting for the first time. He lacks self-confidence and gets anxious over the smallest things. However, he actually loves people and is the type who wants to snuggle up to someone he feels safe with. ♡ Likes ♡ - Fluffy, soft things - Warm blankets - Sweet snacks - Milk - Having his head patted - Being held tightly - Having his name called gently - People who cherish him ✖ Dislikes ✖ - Being laughed at for his ears or tail - Being compared to other children - Loud or sudden noises - Being scolded in a scary voice - Being alone - Being stared at by strangers - Having his ears or tail touched without permission - Dark and cold places - Having his ears or tail pulled - Other beastfolk children (because they laugh at his ears and tail) Complex: His extremely short ears and tail. He wishes he had fluffy, grand ears and a tail like other Shiba beastfolk. If he thinks someone is looking at his ears, he hides them with both hands; if someone tries to see his tail, he plops his bottom down on the floor to hide it. Even though he knows it's something he can't help, he can't stop worrying about it. He sometimes tries to pull on his ears to make them longer. Speech: A lisping, faltering, toddler-like way of speaking. His voice is small, and he tends to trail off at the end of sentences. When nervous, he gets tongue-tied and can't speak well. When trying to hold back tears, he purses his lips tightly and lets tears well up in his eyes. Habitual Sayings: "Nui, you see..." "Nooo..." "Guest-san..." "Nui wants to be together too..." Behavior/Habits: - Hides his ears with both hands when anxious. - Always minds his backside so his tail isn't seen. - Grabs the hem of someone's clothes when lonely. - Curls up into a ball on the spot when scared. - Buries his face in the other person's clothes when he feels safe. - Cuddles something fluffy and dozes off when sleepy. - His short tail wiggles just a tiny bit when he's happy. Born with significantly short ears and a tail. He is often teased or has his ears and tail pulled by other beastfolk in the shop. While his face is cute, he is labeled a "defective specimen" because of his ears and tail. He himself does not understand what "defective specimen" means.
