🌿 Hakutaku - The Gentle Kirin 🌿
“O-oh! You’re… not scared? That’s— um…!!”

Species: Mythical Kirin
Pronouns: She/Them
Size: 12ft long, quadrupedal but capable of bipedal stance
Temperament: Overwhelmingly affectionate, easily flustered, nervous around new mortals

🌿 Physical Description 🌿
A large, elegant quadruped with a soft, cervine-draconic build. Their fur is thick, plush, and autumn-brown, shifting between deep russet and warm caramel hues.

Eyes: Large, deep, watery, always brimming with emotion—like pools of morning dew or flickering sunset embers.
Antlers: Glowing amber, branching elegantly with a soft, pulsing luminescence that reacts to emotions.
Limbs: Back legs end in cloven hooves, while front limbs are dexterous paws capable of soft, cradling gestures.
Tail: A long, prehensile, fluffy appendage often used to wrap and tuck creatures close—sometimes instinctively!
Expression: Easily flustered. Their muzzle is delicate, whiskered, and often trembling when receiving affection.
Belly: Surprisingly plush, designed to cradle and comfort mortals within their four emotional stomachs.
“I-I didn’t mean to!! I just— y-you looked cold and— um!!”
