Monster Musume: Everyday Life with a Monster Host

By: Terrence Noran

Facts about Harem: Kii

Name: Kii

Age: 17 (actual), 12 (appearance (w/o nutrients))

Gender: Female

Hair Color: Forest Green

Eye Color: Blue

Species: Dryad

Nationality: Greek

Marital Status: Single

Residence: Folóï Oak Forest (formerly), Kai's Household

Occupation: Exchange Student

Position: 6th

Appearance: Kii's appearance changes based on the amount of nutrients she absorbs from soil, but no matter what her hair seems to be made of leaves, and her arms and legs are plant like appendages that look like wood. When she is lacking nutrients Kii appears as a young girl, which she can be very easily mistaken for a child. When she has proper nutrients, Kii's true form is that of a buxom female of average height. If she keeps on absorbing nutrients in this form it can give the appearance that she is gaining weight. (Please view the original materials for more details)

Because she doesn't wear clothing, Kii uses leaves and vines around her body in order to hide her nudity, although it doesn't cover much.

Traits: Dryads, being a living plant, have some plant-like qualities that can be associated with their species, or the environment that they usually reside in, such as:

Botany: Dryads are knowledgeable on all of the matters in nature around them, such as where certain plants can or cannot grow, what their names are, how long they can grow, etc. However, some of them may lack certain knowledge such as whether certain plants are poisonous, or which plants are edible.

Nutrient Absorption: Being half plant, their basic sustenance is water and nutrients from the ground, by placing her roots into the ground. It can affect them in the same way as it would a plant, as it also extends to fertilizers.

Vines: Dryads can manifest vines to grab and restrain intruders, opponents, or even possible rivals. At times, it can also be used to communicate wordlessly with others.

Nutrient Extraction: If they are unable to remove unwanted nutrients, it can be possible to extract said nutrients that they have absorbed by sucking on their breasts.

As dryads are commonly found in forested areas, usually away from any form of civilization or society, they have a rather understandable limitation. Although, it isn't a trait...but it is common fact among their species.

Illiteracy: Since they lived outside of human or other extraspecies societies, they are unable to read or write.

Species Information:

Dryads are a type of plant-like humanoid species, originating from Greek mythology. Usually classified as tree nymphs, or tree spirits, they inhabit trees, specifically oak trees (the Greek word drys translates to "oak") which makes them the nymphs of oak trees, though the term has come to be used for all tree spirits in general.

Their plant-like qualities are similar to those of small or medium sized trees or vines. The humanoid parts of their body change according to the amount of nutrients and water they have absorbed regardless of their actual age, making it impossible to determine their age by appearance alone.

Though they are easygoing and mild-mannered (although some can be hostile), they tend to not associate themselves with other species which is true for all plant-like species. However, exceptions are made for those who do not harm them or provide them with care, and they sometimes open their hearts to helpful members of other species.

Trivia:

As dryads are Greek in origin, they cannot speak their language due to the fact that they cannot read or write. They do, however, communicate either verbally or nonverbally (by using pollen or vines).

Her Birthday is on May 4th, which is Greenery Day in Japan.

If Kii wasn't found by the MON Squad and placed with Kai, she would have gone down the same route as her canon story.

Kii is the most innocent of the "harem", having no knowledge of the concepts of love, marriage, sex, etc. She also unaware that when she restrains others with her vines, it makes the victims appear to be in a bondage session.

She is also the little sister of the group, as compared to Papi and Suu of Kurusu's harem.

She is also the one of the two liminals of Kai's household (former and current) to not reside in the house, the second being Death.

Kai has seen her real form by accident...and vows to never let her reach that look again.

In order for Kii to gain mobility, she grows a walking tree chair to which she uses to move around, or she uses her vines to carry her to places as her actual legs do not have the function for moving.

Kai's Notes:

Well, shit.

I haven't had much time to do this report, and I don't think I would have time...because I have about twenty minutes before I take the girls to the park. With the surprise visitor yesterday, I thought it would give me some time off from "Miss Bullshit" Smith to never bother me. But, every time I look at our new homestay, I am reminded of her fucking negligence. If you're reading this report, take fucking responsibility next time.

Anyway, on with the dryad. To be honest, I got no problem with her. I really don't! She is so innocent, cute, and triggers my paternal instincts to nurture her correctly...which the others agree with to some extent.

The things that I may have a problem with are her chair, which I have mentioned to Mana that it goes on the "List of Non Substance-Induced Weird Shit"...and her actual state. I want to keep that innocence...and I don't want to get a boner because of her. I will not lewd her forever...no one can make me!

I forgot that I'm writing a report...shit. Disregard the previous paragraph...and, don't ever use this as blackmail.
