More (Self-indulgent) facts of The Lady and the Wulf
Lady Gotham doesn't actually know her own city very well or the people living in it. She only paid attention to people who pay attention to her. For example, she knows a lot about the Waynes across generations because they actively work to improve the city and care about it. On the other hand, Joker, who never thinks of Gotham as anything other than a personal playground, wasn't someone she recognized and genuinely thought was a demon. Much like how people say the more you acknowledge a ghost, the longer it sticks, the more people loved Gotham City, the more Lady Gotham knew about them.
Wulf has a fear of animal control. He once saw thier truck driving down the street and took off like he was in a horror movie chase scene. It triggered a stampede because people from Crime Alley assumed someone randomly breaking into a run meant either a shooting or a cop raid. A lot of them learn not to ask why they are running, especially when a man Wulf's size does it. He also hates cops but doesn't flee at the sight of them; he just scoffs and glares at them mistrustfully.
Lady Gotham is often asked for her photo by Gotham tourists who think she's a cosplayer or street performer. They like to pose with her, or have her pose against one of Gotham's iconic Gothic-style buildings. The locals know she's one of the homeless populace, but they understand the tourists' excitement. She's very attractive if you can look past her... unique personality.
Wulf's wanderlust takes him on a lot of side quests. Since he's so charismatic, he often convinces people to teach him random skills while on said side quests. It's a patchwork of abilities that can be useful- he knows how to make soap and some basic car maintenance- and some that aren't -He knows how to make perfect owl hoots and can tell how bad a storm is based on knee pain.
Lady Gotham once got into a rap battle with a middle school kid. She didn't know it, because rapping is an actual language in the Infinite Realms, descending from Sirins who sing every word they say; it's the modern slang, and she had assumed they were having a normal conversation that turned rude midway. She lost, but put up a worthy fight against the worst thing to a person's self-esteem: a thirteen-year-old child.
Wulf enjoys finding food trucks or small, struggling family-owned restaurants to eat at. He thinks the food tastes more authentic and often better there than at big-name places. He goes feral for street vendors and will follow people to thier car if they claim they're selling food from the trunk. It's how he found the best tamale maker in the city. He often pays with favors or charms people into giving him free meals, since he's flat broke.
Lady Gotham has had favorite humans throughout Gotham's history. The list includes Martha Wayne, Tim Drake, James Gordon, Jason Bard, Leslie Thompson, Vicki Vale, Anthony Wayne, and Solomon Wayne. Her reasoning? These people loved the city and were entertaining to watch. Most were based on vibes, though. Thomas Wayne is an honorable mention because she knew a lot about him despite not liking whatever the hell was wrong with him. It was against her will to know Thomas Wayne.
Wulf hates his new dulled senses. He mainly used scent, but his hearing, his sight, and even his taste have gone down since he was made fully human. He gets frustrated when he can't see or hear as well as he used to. He often tries to force himself into a heightened state and ends up looking odd, pressing himself against a wall to hear sounds inside a building or running into things a lot because the lighting is too low, but he's too stubborn to ask for a flashlight. He tells many, many, many people that he's a wolf on the inside.
Lady Gotham breaks into many places because her favorite humans often did, and she assumes it's a requirement for being among the best. She understands that breaking and entering is a crime but thinks it's like taking a right turn on red. It's allowed, even though people say it's not officially. She mostly does it for hygiene purposes, like taking showers and washing laundry, but occasionally she'll do it to see what someone's decorations look like. If she doesn't like the layout, she'll rearrange furniture and leave before the homeowners get back. It unnerves a lot of people despite no theft or property damage being done to thier home.
Wulf gets along with almost all the street kids, knows them by name (or the nicknames they go by), and is the first to notice if one vanishes. He may have lesser senses, but he's one heck of a tracker and can figure out the last known place the kids were when they disappear. Because of this, Wulf becomes one of Red Hood's best informants, especially after Wulf informed him he would kill anyone he found mistreating kids. Jason can tell he means it and respects the hell out of Wulf for it. Bruce still thinks they are old classmates from the monks and is worried that Wulf will go through on his promise.
