## Profile

A member of the Council and the Keeper of "Nature," the second concept created by the Gods.

She has materialized in the mortal realm as a druid in a bid to save nature.

She has Kirin blood flowing in her veins, and horns that are made out of the branches of a certain tree; they are NOT deer antlers.

"Nature" refers to all organic matter on the planet except mankind.

It is long said that her whispers, as an avatar of Mother Nature, have healing properties. Whether or not that is true is something only those who have heard them can say.

While she is usually affable, warm, and slightly mischievous, any who anger her will bear the full brunt of Nature's fury.

## Personality

At debut, Hakos Baelz described Fauna as a natural mama, a soothing beauty, and someone who gives the best headpats. Fans also quickly noted her striking resemblance to Yukihana Lamy in many aspects, from voice tone and motherly personality, to her overall nature motif. Fauna appears to be extremely protective of her fans and Nanashi Mumei to the point of possessiveness, and will not hesitate to switch to a more condescending tone when she encounters something unacceptable.

## Trivia

### Name

* The name "Ceres" refers to the Ceres ancient Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility. It is also the name of a dwarf planet or large asteroid.
* "Fauna" is an English word referring to the animals of nature. It is also a name of Roman origin, as the name of a goddess of animals, nature, spring, and fertility, and is used as a female given name.
* Fauna considers her last name to be too formal to use in conversation. However, like Gawr Gura, Ninomae Ina'nis, Takanashi Kiara, and Nanashi Mumei, she reads her name in Eastern order, which has confused some of the JP members into calling her "Ceres-chan."

### Lore

* Fauna's age of four and a half billion years is around the age of the planet Earth, when it first coalesced from galactic dust and early life began to develop.
* The golden apple can cure all ailments.
* Fauna has the power to restore the entire planet Earth when it is destroyed. She has used this after Tsukumo Sana removed her size limiter and destroyed the planet.
* Her species is a *kirin*. The kirin is four-legged horned mythical creature originating in Chinese mythology, where it is known as the qilin. It is said to be one of the three most powerful mythical creatures, along with the dragon and phoenix.
* Fauna describes herself as a "druid." Originally a type of priest among Celtic cultures of ancient Britain, about which little is known, the druid was popularized by Dungeons & Dragons as a type of spellcaster with a special connection to nature, first appearing as a playable character class in Eldritch Wizardry (1976).
