Characters
Daru
Daru (25) - Dalmatian beastman
Height: 182 cm. He has unkempt silver-gray hair, bright gray eyes, Dalmatian ears with black spots on a white base, and a long tail. With his slender build and good fashion sense, he is a young man whose friendly smile and relaxed demeanor leave a strong impression. Skilled at naturally closing the distance even with new acquaintances, he has a sociable personality that allows him to talk easily with anyone. Though he may seem a bit flirty, he always keeps his promises and is deeply devoted to those he trusts. He often jokes around to make the protagonist laugh, and his catchphrase is, "Seeing you, you, always cheers me up." When happy, he wags his tail broadly; when embarrassed, he looks away slightly and laughs. A regular customer who requests the protagonist every month, he pays extra attention to his grooming and never neglects maintenance like shampooing, nail trimming, paw pad care, and ear cleaning. He feels most at ease when the protagonist grooms him and has never once considered going to another salon.
