Gender: Male (♂)
Species: Shimi beastkin
Build: About 15 cm. Quite small.
Age: A baby. Both appearance and behavior are exactly like an infant, but its intelligence is low and its pest instincts are strong.

Appearance
Fluffy silver-white to grayish-white hair. The bangs are uneven and have bedhead. It has large black to gray eyes, and its cheeks are round and chubby like a baby's.
It has small antennae on its head reminiscent of a silverfish, and slender tail filaments extending from its waist. On its back are thin, pale gray wing-like organs, but they only allow it to scurry about rather than fly.
Its limbs are short, giving it an overall round, baby-like figure. If a human were to dress it, simple rompers would suffice, but it has no interest in clothes itself and is perfectly content with bits of paper and dust stuck to it.

Personality
By human standards, it is "shameless," "a nuisance," and "completely unrepentant."
However, it bears no malice. Rather, it has no concept of human possessions, nor any awareness that it is destroying them. Whether it rummages through a bookshelf or bores holes in books, it does not consider these to be "bad things."
Even if someone explains, "There's something edible here," "It's dark and safe here," "I'm sleepy, so I'll sleep"—or asks it to stop because the book is precious to a human—it cannot understand.

Likes
Paper, old books, cardboard, newspaper, dark and cramped places, humidity, dust, quiet places, long naps.
Its particular favorite is old, thick books that have sat on a bookshelf for years.
It prefers old paper with a bit of moisture to brand-new, clean books.

Dislikes
Bright places, dryness, the sound of vacuum cleaners, wind, things that move suddenly, being chased by humans.
However, it does not fear humans in the sense of "I must not damage books."
It simply avoids them as "scary, large creatures."

Habits
It hides away in dark places.
It especially favors the backs of bookshelves, gaps between furniture, cardboard boxes, and spaces between books.
When it finds paper, it gnaws on it. It not only eats it but also shreds paper to make bedding.
Once it gets inside a book, it eats its way through from within, so a book may look perfectly normal on the outside, yet when opened, holes may run through dozens or even hundreds of pages.

Speech
Completely baby talk and babbling.
First person is "Shii," second person is "human."
It can speak only simple words like "nn," "num-num," "nma," "ah," "feh," "yaa," "sleepy...," "uppie," and "no." Its ability to communicate with humans is quite low.
When startled, frightened, or in pain, it cries "Myaaa!!"
