Pestonya Shortcake Wanko

Pestonya Shortcake Wanko  (ペストーニャ・ショートケーキ・ワンコ) is the Head Maid of the Homunculus Maids of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Appearance
Pestonya is a maid whose outer appearance is that of a beautiful lady but has the head of a Shetland Sheepdog instead of a human's and a vertical scar on her face running down the center with signs of stitching.

Personality
Pestonya is a benevolent person who's loyal to Nazarick. Despite her gruesome appearance, Pestonya is a motherly figure and one of the few in Nazarick who does not despise humans. She, alongside Nigredo, does not agree to kill innocent people.

Background
In the Web Novel, Pestonya's creator was a person that mostly named things based on food and tried to name her Pescatore.

The Dark Warrior Arc
According to Eclair, Pestonya is currently in charge of managing the 9th Floor of Nazarick, since Sebas Tian is not around to do so due to his assigned mission in Re-Estize.

The Lizard Man Heroes Arc
Pestonya serves Aura with a hamburger with two pickles, french fries with skin on and a cola drink during her break time. During the war with the lizardmen, she assists Shalltear Bloodfallen by supplementing her magic to open a Gate to the Wetlands when Shalltear claims that she is not able to do so alone.

The Men in the Kingdom Arc
In response to Sebas Tian's order, Solution Epsilon reluctantly declined using the scrolls created by the Supreme Beings. Instead, she makes a suggestion to Sebas about requesting help from Pestonya, since she has the power to heal Tuareninya Veyron's wounds.

Once Tuare is accepted into Nazarick by Ainz, Pestonya along with the other homunculus maids would later greet her. After Tuare leaves, Pestonya makes a quip at Sebas that the human has fallen for him, causing the butler to blush upon hearing those words from her.

The Invaders of the Large Tomb Arc
Ainz decides to give rewards to his minions for their hard work. When Solution asks for a few humans, Ainz reminisces about the humans held captive from the Eight Fingers and the remaining humans protected by Pestonya and Nigredo who are both under confinement. He decides to give Solution the remaining captives of Eight Fingers and not the latter because Pestonya and Nigredo actually risked going against his orders to save them. As a result, Albedo is outraged and while Ainz forgives them, they are sentenced to house arrest until Albedo has a chance to calm down.

The Pleiades Day Arc
Due to her actions, Pestonya was confined in the Frozen Prison with Nigredo as her cellmate. Because of her confinement, she was unable to complete Tuare's maid training, a task that was later taken over by Yuri Alpha. She and her compatriot were later freed at the behest of Yuri, who requested their aid in running a Sorcerer Kingdom sponsored orphanage.

The Ruler of Conspiracy Arc
Both Nigredo and her are released from confinement and are later put in charge of managing a new war orphanage in E-Rantel in order to help with integrating future generations to stay loyal to Nazarick.

The Witch of the Falling Kingdom Arc
A month after the Sorcerer Kingdom declared war on the Re-Estize Kingdom, Pestonya was present in Ainz Ooal Gown's study along with the regular maids and the Floor Guardians. They listened to the report of Cocytus's exploits in destroying a city of the Kingdom.

At some point before Ainz make his return back to Nazarick, Pestonya had requested her colleague Sebas to speak on her behest with their master which the butler obliged to do, considering she doesn't have permission to leave the area she was at. She and Nigredo want Ainz to visit the Frozen Prison alone with the exception of Sebas. Pestonya was scheduled to arrive at the Frozen Prison an hour later there first before Ainz and Sebas visits it after her. Sebas told Ainz he will give the order to Pestonya on taking care of that doll matter his master spoke of.

Abilities and Powers
Pestonya is a High Priest that can use powerful healing magic. She is also said to be a high-leveled cleric. Her maid outfit is equal to a high-class item, bringing her some defensive stats. In addition, her fur possesses cold resistance. If Pestonya decided to use resurrection spells, then she would require the use of gold coins, jewels, or other valuable goods equivalent to it in exchange.

In the Web Novel, it was said that she has access to the highest-ranking of holy magic. According to Ainz, she was considered to be the best healer they can find available in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. She can also transfer her mana reserves over to Shalltear, helping to prolong the vampire's use of the [Gate] spell. The butler Sebas Tian recalls that there are only two people in Nazarick who could completely remove Tuareninya Veyron's mental damage were Pestonya as well as Ainz.

Nigredo
Unlike the rest of the denizens of Nazarick, she and Nigredo opposed killing innocent people kidnapped by Demiurge from Re-Estize. They went out of their way to free them and ended up punished for it.

Pestonya is close enough to Aura to the point they refer to each other with nicknames outside of work.

She is even willing to help bring food such as hamburgers to Aura when the elf decided to take a break from work.

Tuareninya Veyron
