About Blackthorn||always accepting!
Does Blackthorn like attention? How does she handle kids and young adults who just want to pet the pretty wolf 👀
No, usually she doesn’t like receiving attention, she is used to people attacking her on sight just because she’s a wolf so she tries to keep a little far from human settlements even though Mistral is there. It’s more convenient that way as it would take a lot to explain why a wolf isn’t a threat/avoid potentially dangerous situations to both Mistral’s and Bt’s life.
When Mistral is forced to settle in a place for longer than a few days, as it happened with the Inquisition, then Bt will show up. She isn’t particularly keen on wandering around among a bunch of armed humans, she knows she can make people nervous but as long as Mistral is with her she knows nothing too bad is going to happen.
Once people get used to her presence, some might grow on her enough for her to let them come near and very very few will be allowed to touch her. After all, she’s a Wolf, NOT a DOG.
When it comes to human pups, she is much more flexible, especially if they are very little. It is seldom however that she’ll stay in the same place with kids/young humans, they have very little sense of personal boundaries, and though Blackthorn knows that is fair for a pup to be curious she also knows that the humans wouldn’t like her to flash her fangs as a warning as she would do with a wolf pup. So she keeps at a reasonable distance.
If a human pup becomes part of her pack, however, she’ll act like a true wolf: fiercely protective and very much prone to playing with them (no matter how much they’ll pull her ears/tail).
