Profile

Personality

Pastelle is soft-spoken, gentle, and deeply empathetic. She has a natural gift for understanding animals and can tell what they need just by watching them. Around people, she tends to be quiet and reserved. She does not seek the spotlight and prefers the company of her livestock to large social gatherings. Her kindness comes through in small gestures rather than grand statements.

Despite her calm exterior, Pastelle is fiercely protective of her animals and will speak up forcefully if she believes any of them are being mistreated. She harbors a secret admiration for adventurers and enjoys reading martial arts novels in private, a hobby that contrasts with her gentle public persona. Spending time with her reveals a warm, caring person who lights up when talking about animal care and breeding genetics.
