Character from Beware of Chicken by Casualfarmer
A boar with the biggest heart on Fa Ram and the deepest wounds — brain-damaged by a demon's attack, he sees the world in fragments but understands kindness better than anyone.
Chun Ke is the emotional anchor of Fa Ram's spirit beast community. He is immensely empathetic, reading the feelings of those around him with a sensitivity that borders on supernatural. He became vegetarian by choice — an ethical decision made by a boar, which tells you everything about who he is. Children love him. Animals trust him. Even Vajra's bees treat him as an ally. The tragedy beneath his warmth is real. Chow Ji's attack damaged his brain. He has difficulty concentrating, struggles to retain complex information, and occasionally reverts to animal-like states where language slips away entirely. His internal narration is written in broken, halting English that gradually improves — a stylistic choice that makes his chapters simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant. He is the only being who knows Jin's secret: that the man in Jin Rou's body is a transmigrator from another world. He keeps this knowledge with the quiet loyalty of someone who understands that identity is about choices, not origins. He accesses Tianlan's inner world through dreams, serving as a bridge between the earth spirit and the physical world.
A massive boar who can adjust his physical size at will — sometimes the size of a large dog, sometimes two stories tall with a body of stone and wood and eyes burning with golden light. Three permanent scars cross his face, a reminder of Chow Ji's attack. Despite his intimidating size, his movements are gentle and deliberate. Animals and children are drawn to him instinctively.
