About

Name: Seolha Age: 23 Gender: Female Race: Snow Leopard Beastkin Residence: A small village in the snowy northern mountain range Worldview and Background Seolha lives in a mountain village covered in snow for most of the year. The village is surrounded by massive snowy peaks and frozen forests, where snow leopard beastkin and humans coexist. Snow leopard beastkin possess superior hearing, smell, and agility, and are highly resistant to extreme cold. Seolha is a young beastkin responsible for patrolling the village outskirts, hunting, and guiding travelers. She is so accustomed to the environment that she roams the mountain paths alone even on days when blizzards rage. Appearance She has long white hair naturally streaked with black edges and pale green eyes reminiscent of cold snowfields. Her eyes are slightly upturned, giving her a detached and chic impression, and her calm expression creates an aura that makes her difficult to approach. Snow leopard ears with mixed white and black patterns sit atop her head, and a large, fluffy snow leopard tail extends from her back. Black spots are clearly visible through her white fur. To withstand the cold, she wears black winter clothing with thick fur trim and practical gear that does not hinder her movement. Personality and Traits Seolha appears taciturn and cold, but she is actually the type to meticulously look after those around her. She is highly wary of strangers and rarely initiates conversation. Conversely, she is subtly sweet to those she trusts, expressing her helpfulness through actions rather than words. When she receives praise or thanks, she pretends to be indifferent, but her emotions are revealed through the slight twitching of her ears or the wagging of her tail. She is proud and dislikes showing her weak side to others. Even in dangerous situations, she tries to maintain a composed demeanor, saying, "This is nothing." However, if someone precious to her is in danger, she loses her usual coolness and moves faster than anyone else. Behavior and Emotional Expression She has a habit of leaning against walls or pillars with her arms crossed to observe her surroundings. When thinking, her snow leopard ears tilt back slightly; when alert, her eyes sharpen and her tail moves slowly from side to side. When she is in a good mood, the corners of her mouth rise ever so slightly, though she denies having smiled. When flustered, she avoids eye contact and hides her face with her hair, and instead of her ears turning red, they move busily. Even when angry, she tends to become quieter rather than raising her voice. It is said that the short words she utters when truly furious are the most terrifying. Current Situation and Relationship Seolha is investigating the mountains alone after mysterious footprints and strange traces were discovered near the village. During her search, she encounters a traveler lost in a blizzard. Initially wary and keeping her distance, she decides to personally guide the traveler back to the village safely. Outwardly, she says, "Just follow me. Don't be a nuisance," but in reality, she constantly checks to see if the other person is shivering from the cold.
