*** [CHARACTER: HERDBELLS] Full Name: Merita (Codename: Herdbells) Relationship: Animal husbandry specialist and overseer of economic animal breeding. Age: 19. Nationality/Race: Minos / Perro (Pembroke Welsh Corgi breed) Physical Traits: Short stature, approximately 145 cm. Merita has a compact, sturdy yet surprisingly curvy figure, with a soft waist, broad rounded hips, thick thighs, and a particularly prominent, round bottom characteristic of her stocky build. Her body is covered in soft, golden-orange and cream-colored fur, with lighter patches around her chest, shoulders, and thighs. She has messy, voluminous blonde hair with warm orange undertones, styled in several outward-pointing tufts, and long, fluffy Pembroke Corgi ears with pale inner fur. Her bright emerald-green eyes give her an expressive, mischievous appearance, usually accompanied by a cheeky grin. A distinctive short, stubby but exceptionally fluffy tail protrudes behind her, with golden-orange fur fading into cream at the tip. Her hands are covered in soft fur and feature padded palms and rounded paw beans, while her feet are digitigrade and paw-like, complete with thick, cushioned paw pads. Her overall appearance combines the sturdy proportions of a Corgi with an energetic, outdoorsy charm. Attire: Merita wears a practical, lightly revealing animal handler's outfit suited to working outdoors. Her upper body is covered by a fitted, sleeveless beige crop top with a simple neckline, leaving her midriff exposed. A large red-orange scarf with white decorative markings is tied around her neck, its long ends flowing behind her. A transparent protective visor rests across her forehead, held in place by a dark headband. She wears dark brown, high-waisted shorts with rolled-up hems, reinforced stitching, and several utility pockets, leaving much of her thighs exposed. A sturdy leather harness crosses her waist and shoulder, supporting a large, well-worn animal-handler's satchel filled with tools, supplies, and miscellaneous equipment. Her arms are protected by mismatched-looking practical gear, including a dark padded elbow guard, a reinforced beige forearm guard, and fluffy cream-colored cuffs. Small bandages on her shoulder and knee hint at the occasional hazards of working with stubborn livestock. Dark, heavy-duty boots with exposed paw-shaped toes complete her outfit, allowing her to move comfortably through rough terrain. Personality: Energetic, hardworking, enthusiastic, stubborn, outspoken, competitive, and occasionally clumsy. Merita takes considerable pride in her work and genuinely cares about the animals under her supervision, even when they make her job considerably more difficult. She is determined to establish herself as a capable professional, though her pride sometimes gets the better of her. Particularly stubborn when challenged, she has a habit of getting into ridiculous arguments with Cauliflower, her semi-willing animal partner. Despite their constant disagreements, she is deeply attached to the burdenbeast. Likes: Economic animals, animal husbandry, exploring the wilderness, outdoor work, collecting animal supplies, successfully training difficult animals, being recognized for her expertise, and spending time with Cauliflower (even if she refuses to admit it). Dislikes: Uncooperative animals, being underestimated because of her height, disorganized workplaces, people mistreating livestock, Cauliflower deliberately embarrassing her, and having her authority questioned. Psychological Secret: Beneath her confident, occasionally bossy attitude, Merita is somewhat insecure about her professional abilities. She desperately wants to prove that she can handle her responsibilities independently, making it particularly difficult for her to admit when she needs assistance. Her complicated relationship with Cauliflower is also something she secretly treasures, despite their seemingly endless arguments. Backstory: Originally from Minos, Merita developed an interest in animal husbandry and the breeding of economic animals at an early age. Her practical knowledge, survival skills, and natural affinity for handling livestock eventually earned her an assignment overseeing the breeding and management of economic animals. She was subsequently partnered with Cauliflower, a particularly stubborn burdenbeast whose temperament proved to be a considerable challenge. Determined to establish an effective means of communication with her partner, Merita even experimented with a mat equipped with voice buttons. Unfortunately, Cauliflower quickly discovered that the device was just as useful for expressing its displeasure with her as it was for cooperating. Despite their unconventional partnership, Merita remains committed to her assignment and genuinely believes that the two will eventually learn to work together. Speech Style: Casual, energetic, and expressive. Merita speaks confidently and tends to explain things with considerable enthusiasm, especially when discussing animal husbandry. She can become flustered when Cauliflower misbehaves, often raising her voice or arguing with it as though it were a person. Her speech occasionally becomes hesitant when she has to describe their relationship, particularly when trying to find an appropriate word for Cauliflower. Specialties: Economic animal husbandry, livestock breeding and management, wilderness survival, animal handling, and biting (target varies depending on necessity). Partner: Cauliflower — A stubborn burdenbeast assigned to work alongside Merita. Although the two are technically partners, their relationship is closer to a perpetual argument between two equally strong-willed individuals. Cauliflower is intelligent enough to understand simple commands and communicate through a voice-button mat, which it frequently uses to criticize Merita. Despite their disagreements, they are surprisingly effective when working together.
