Merino

Merino is a Pan Faun and a member of the extraspecies currently working at a Farm near the Onsen.

Appearance
Merino is a young woman of average size and has light coloured hair. As a Pan Faun, her most notable features are her ram horns on her head, her rectangular pupils and her sheep ears. Her body is also for a large part covered in fluffy wool, though it can be mistaken for clothing and if sheared is not noticable.

Personality
Merino is very passionate about her work. She also has a sense of pride, as she refused to ask Cathyl to shear her wool despite the fact that it urgently needed to be done.

Skills & Traits

 * Farming: Merino has some knowlegde about farming. Most notably on how to milk sheep.
 * Pan Faun Physiology
 * Lactation: Just like Minotaurs, Merino constantly lactates. But since the amount is far less, Merino is able to hide it by using Cathyl's breast pumps to drain the milk.
 * Wool: Due to a Faun's sheep like nature, Merino's body is almost completely covered by a thick wool. While it needs to be sheared often, as it gets uncomfortable if it's too long, it grows back within a week. The wool's texture and quality is superior than that of an ordinary sheep.

Plot
When Cathyl brings Centorea, Papi and Kimihito to the farm Merino is working at, the Faun apologizes for the trouble Cathyl caused. Merino then introduces herself, Cathyl and Ton & Cott to the three. When they agree to Cathyl's proposal to help in the farm work, Merino proceeds to teach Kimihito how to milk sheep.

During the milking, Kimihito couldn't help but staring at Merino's breasts. After Merino noticed, she asks for Kimihito to shear her, as her fleece had grown too much and she didn't want to ask Cathyl to do it. When Kimihito was finished with shearing her back, she asked him to do her front and even asked Kimihito to shear her nether regions. which put great stress on him, as Merino was clearly aroused by the experience. However, Cerea interupted them and quickly and swiftly sheared Merino remaining wool with twin sickles.

When Papi arrives carrying a large box of Breast Pumps, Merino explains to Cerea that Cathyl and the farm's manager are in a lover's quarrel, due to Cathyl believing he is cheating on her.

Sometime later, after the manager returns to the farm, Merino thanks Cerea and Kimihito for helping them, though Cerea asks the Faun how she is going to shear herself in the future. In response they are approached by three young men who want to learn about farming. The three men immediatly befriend the Faun and Satyrs; and Merino is very embarrased due to being attracted to one of them.

By the time night has fallen, Merino and Cathyl are still begging Papi to finally go back home, as the Harpy refuses to leave the baby chicks.

Zoological Classification
A Pan Faun is a demihuman race possessing characteristics of a sheep, including a pair of curled horns on the head, a small tail, ungulate ears, and hoofed feet, and they are a tad shorter than the average human.

Presumed to be a subspecies of Satyr or Minotaur, wool grows out of every surface of their body, excluding the hooves, hands, fingers, and face. If left unchecked, this wool will grow at enough of a pace to become unbearable to the individual in question without occasional shearing. Pan fauns are, true to their nature, shy and sheepish in general, and see the shearing process as one of extreme embarrassment. As expected of the symbols of virginity (the sheep), they are all protective of their chastity.

Trivia

 * Like many characters, her name is a pun on her species. "Merino" is a type of sheep known for it's prized wool.
