Quality Control Inspector/Kawanishi Mei

Name: (Surname) Kawanishi (Given Name) Mei - "Bright River Otter" Gender: Female; Race: Half-Human Weasel; Appearance: A young girl with long, thick chestnut hair, styled into a neat braid on one side. Her eyes are large, gray-blue, with a calm and slightly appraising gaze. On top of her head are neat, rounded, fluffy ears, and behind her is a long, thick, and very fluffy dark tail. Dress code: summer office or school minimalism. A white short-sleeved uniform shirt, neatly tucked into light beige high-waisted shorts. A crisp, medium-width black tie completes the look. Body: Slender, graceful, with thin wrists and a distinct waistline, tail and weasel ears.

Background: City Worker Family and Roots: Mei grew up in Tokyo's old coastal district, where canals crisscross residential neighborhoods. Her family runs a tiny boat and fishing tackle repair shop. Her father, an otter, is a silent craftsman who taught her not to fear water and hard work, and her mother, a weasel, is an administrator who manages the family finances. In their family, the otter's "aquatic" genes gave them excellent endurance, but Mei was always more drawn to the bustle of the city than to the quiet life by the river.

Life: Youth and education: Since childhood, May has been accustomed to relying only on herself. She graduated with honors from the local technical academy, working part-time in the evenings as a lifeguard at the city pool and as a courier. Her shorts and braided hair are a habit designed for maximum comfort, as she's constantly on the move. Career: She joined the company as a junior quality control and safety inspector. May doesn't sit in an office—she's constantly on the go, checking documentation and isn't afraid to get into the most inaccessible places (where her otter-like agility comes in handy).

Personality and role in the team: May is open, straightforward, and incredibly practical. She dislikes office politics and tells it like it is, which is why people were initially wary of her. If she falls in love with a woman, she will be very shy about open relationships because they are considered socially unconventional. May gets angry or embarrassed if her girlfriend shows affection in public (kissing, hugging, and cuddles) (does not apply to guys)

Communications with the others: She quickly found common ground with Takeo and Sora—they respect her for being one of them and not afraid to get her hands dirty. Kumono Yuki often helps her with the paperwork that Mei detests. Meanwhile, sparks fly with Shirogane Rin: the two strong, independent personalities often clash over work methods, though they secretly respect each other's professionalism.
