Shin
[I've taken lines and bits of what you wrote and just threw in more detail.]
Shin is a nice, young Kuhna boy, if not a little shy, and one of the youngest residents of the castle. He's very close to nature, finding it easier to be around than most other Kuhnas or creatures that wish to make conversation, and wants to become a biologist some day. He often spends his time helping Daiki, the resident alchemist, by gathering different plants and herbs for his use. Daiki is one of the few he feels comfortable around, also including his sisters, Akiko and Ishi. His time not spent trying to help the Ancient Kuhna he spends trying to track down and study rare plants and, to some extent, rare creatures, even though he is a little afraid to deal with anything too big. He usually sticks to insects and creatures smaller than himself.
Being an endangered rare Kuhna, it only seems to make sense that he has a fascination for the strange and rare. He strives to learn all that he can in order to protect the endangered plants and creatures that he studies. As such, he often collectes plant samples and contains them within his controlled green house, spending hours of his time jotting down as much information as he can gather within his large brown book.
One passion untold, however, is that Shin actually loves the plants and creatures that live underwater, untouched by many of his kind. Being a Kuhna, he has been forced to set much of his love for these things aside, seeing as it's nearly impossible for most Kuhnas to function fully beneath the water for very long. Organisims underwater are so very strange compared to those on land, the plants acting more alive than any others ever seen. He believes that these plants may very well hold a secret that may help him understand all the others subjected to thrive out of water.
He's very passionate about everything he does and, while he may be a little shy, it is believed that his passion will be able to flow over onto another, if only given the chance. Shin, though, doesn't see himself very likely to find another, only because he just can't fathom it. He doesn't see anyone, aside from himself, even being remotely interested in what he does to accept it.
