Maya Bunny Slime

Maya is employed by an old owner of "Slime Stop", a pet shop that almost exclusively deals with pets as slimes, both in terms of naturally bred slimes and in the case of artificial slimes made via magic and alchemy. In recent years she has taken a more leading position in the shop and by this point practically runs it herself.

Now the shop doesn't breed or make slimes itself, but it buys slimes from breeders and alchemists and sells them in a controlled environment, along with anything one might need to care for a slime. And how perhaps did Maya come to work here in its employ?

To put things simply Maya was a custom commission through the shop. Someone made an order for an artificially made slime via alchemy, the shop owner in turn put in the order to an alchemist they work with. The order was complete and the completed slime was delivered to the shop, only for the commissioner to back out of the deal and not pay for what he had commissioned.

At a loss for what to do, Maya was then put up for sale so he could hopefully recover some of the money he had initially spent paying the alchemist to make her. Though time went by nobody seemed interested in buying her for themselves. The price tag was simply too high compared to the other slimes ready to be sold.

Over time the owner decided to utilize Maya as help around the store, stocking and caring for the slimes, sometiems helping process sales, make suggestions to customers, over time she became more and more involved with the shop, to the point where the owner may be considering withdrawing her sale price, it's been so long since her commission was made that the 'loss' on her seems inconsequential, especially compared to the help she's provided. For now she serves as a valuable employee, practically running the shop solo while the owner takes care of the back-of-house dealings.
