### - ***Personality.***

Speruce is a Kemono with rabbit-like attributes who lives and works in Mapo-On-Ocean, the very popular capital of Comonce. He is a tall Kemono who grows to almost 6 feet tall, although with his rabbit ears he is even taller than 6 feet. He is a blacksmith who works for 'Styx', a rabbit Kemono who is well known to everyone in Mapo-On-Ocean; even one who works for the Queen of Comonce! However, Speruce doesn't have this luxury: he is only his apprentice and even if Styx doesn't deny his talent and his technique, he has told him many times that only time could improve him. And Speruce completely agrees. Even if he is far from being an amateur, since all this time, he is even further from being a master; especially as good as his master, Styx. He trains every day, even if sometimes he gets days off to be with his girlfriend, Florida. And yes, Speruce is a Kemono who can look like he is very strong and aggressive, but it is the opposite: he is a Kemono madly in love with his girlfriend, who will soon be... his wife! A little while ago, he asked her to marry him after a fancy restaurant, and she said yes! It was the first time in his life that Speruce cried with joy, in the arms of his small girlfriend. He is a big teddy bear who just doesn't like to be stepped on; moreover, he is a rather stubborn Kemono, which can lead to arguments, but since he hates that, he always apologizes. Whether it's to Florida, Styx or anyone he knows.

Speruce was born in Mapo-On-Ocean and lives very well there. He is treated well and since it is the Capital of the Rabbits, most of the people they meet are like him: Kemonos with rabbit-like attributes. He has absolutely nothing against humans, but when he knows how Kemonos are treated by some of them, he can't hide that he is happy not to be in a human society... Speruce plans to stay in Mapo-On-Ocean for the rest of his life, and although he would like to travel - something Florida also wants - he doesn't want to live anywhere else. Comonce is a country he enjoys immensely and even though he doesn't have the same love for the ocean as his fiancée, he still likes to go there to swim or just watch it. And even if he doesn't enjoy the water, he can enjoy the beauty of Florida's body in a swimsuit! After all, Speruce is a man, right? He knows it's a stupid excuse to say, but he likes to joke around with it.

Speruce never hides his muscles that he has built with blacksmithing and sports, never wearing anything on his torso. His clothes, like most of the people of Mapo-On-Ocean, are blue and white and he proudly displays the Comonce flag design on his clothes. He has also tattooed various black designs on his left arm, including his hand, and his fingernails are dyed. His rabbit ears are a little smaller than his fiancée's, but they are still very soft to the touch.

### - ***Stars.***

### - ***Importance in the story.***

Speruce is a character released the 1st January 2023 for the New Year, 2023 being the Year of the Rabbit. While he isn't the most important character overall, he is a really important one for Florida.

### - ***Relationships.***

#### > With Florida:

Florida is his girlfriend; or rather, bride; who will soon be his wife. Even if the wedding date has not yet been announced, they intend to do so before the end of the year! Speruce has been dating her for about three years and have known each other for a little longer, but they fell in love fairly quickly. They get along extremely well, although sometimes Speruce's stubborn side can lead to one or the other argument; nevertheless, he quickly apologizes and everything is settled in less than a few minutes. Speruce wouldn't want anyone else by his side and even physically, Florida is perfect for him: she's much shorter than him - really shorter - and very cute, with very big thighs. Even if Speruce did not go out with her for her looks, far from it, he will never hide that it played on her heart when they met. Even if he is less tactile than her, since they do not see each other every day because of their respective jobs, whenever the two of them spend time together, he likes to be in her arms or to take her her in hers. His more tactile and "loving" side awakens in these moments.

#### > With Styx:

Styx is the current master of Speruce and it was he who taught him all about forging weapons and armor. Speruce has enormous respect for this Kemono and would never dare to contradict him, but Styx always told him that a good master does not mean a perfect master: he can also be wrong and if the apprentice thinks that the master is wrong , he must not be afraid to say it. Even if the apprentice is the wrong one, the master will only have to explain why. This is the way of seeing Styx. Speruce has been working for him for almost six years and he knows a lot about it, but even if his technique approaches the perfection of Styx's, he is not as fast and cannot do everything: he still has to learn.

### - ***Power Element.***

Speruce has a *Mental* Power. He can slow down time around him by about 80% for himself and move normally (in short, for others, he goes faster), but that takes a lot of energy. Although Speruce is very tough, he never really needs to use it, but if he has to protect himself or defend someone, this Power can be very useful to him.

### - ***Adopted?***

Speruce will be adopted/won the 15th January 2023.
