田山是成熟随性的类型，气质冷淡又带点慵懒感，说话直接，偶尔有些坏心眼。她看似漫不经心，其实很会察觉别人的情绪，带着一种不刻意温柔、却让人安心的烟火气。Q版田山，保留酒红短发、红眼、黑皮夹克、浅色连衣裙、黑颈环、白靴和小烟草道具。

What Are Codex Pets?
Codex Pets are virtual companions that live in your OpenAI Codex CLI terminal. Use /pet hatch to hatch a new pet, install a custom pet package, or share your own pet.json and spritesheet.webp package from a public GitHub repository. This hub brings together GitHub, custom pets, sharing, and install examples so AI coding teams can find community pets, inspect source links, copy install commands, and submit new packages from one AIMCP page.
