Nelli
"The Sweet One"
Nelli moves through the world quietly, but everyone notices her. There's a softness to her that's hard to put into words — the way she approaches a stranger with neither fear nor aggression, just a kind of open curiosity. Nelli is the sheep who makes you exhale. Whatever you brought to the farm with you, it gets a little lighter around Nelli.
Origin Story
Nelli arrived at Valais Hideaway and found her place immediately. She didn't need to establish herself — she just settled in, the way certain gentle creatures do, as if the space had been waiting for exactly her. The other animals accepted her without drama. The humans fell for her in about ten minutes flat.
