Give us headcanons about The Creature™️
I HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT THE CREATURE MUCH. IDK IF I'VE READ UP ENOUGH TO EVEN PROPERLY COME UP WITH HEADCANONS ABOUT THE CREATURE.
I just wanna start saying La Creatura at this point. Save me. Pls save me.
Headcanon: idk something something about Koga & Rika somehow we have reached this point.
So we know Rika is ultimately related to the Sakumas as an off branch of the main family. Rei ultimately cares about these kids. These "children" this old man just decides to take in. Read up one some of the known stuff on Rika & you absolutely CANNOT convince me to call him anything aside from a creature. That's a young lil creature right there.
Koga is ultimately obligated (somehow) to help take care of said "children" that said "old man" quote-on-quote "takes in under his wings" -- aha punny because Rika considers themselves a "Harpy" or was it just Rei that said that... I cannot keep track, but also the association of bats to vampires. Anyways, I'm getting off track hardcore.
BUT, Koga is very much proud of his senpai status he has with Hinata & Yuuta. It's a big part of what ultimately slices through Koga by the end of Sandstorm when Yuuta tries so hard to crush UNDEAD to allow 2wink to come out on top. Hinata doesn't allow Yuuta to become a bad guy. He also appreciates his place as senpai to Tsukasa, Tetora, & the boys of Ra*bits as well. Koga WANTS to be relied on & looked up to. His confidence in himself plays a part in that.
So where would that place Rika? As someone who Koga would wish to rely on him. THAT is one way of taking it. If Rei ultimately properly introduces Rika to them as someone related to the Sakumas. NOW, with the way Rikas has been shown so far... or well... the small amount of stuff I have taken the time to read, he's a bit of a bird-brain but also rather... AHEM... feral. More of a feral than even Koga was. Koga's always had a sensible head on his shoulders even when he'd growl & bark at others.
IF Koga doesn't get off-put by Rika, he'd be so ecstatic to teach Rika about literally anything & everything that Rika doesn't know or understand. Similarly to how he tried to teach Adonis about Halloween, even when Adonis already knew about it. That sparkle in his eyes. Koga would take Rika under his wings -- aha get it again.
Certain instances I still believe Rika would put Koga off, though. But, he puts up with everything Rei does, so he can't ever be that extremely off put. If anything, he'll just have to get used to it. Probably yell at Rika too on the occasion. Even the babies are not safe from the Koga bark. Watch, when they finally interact, they'll end up like... getting along or something.
He'll get one of those child harnesses & put it on Rika when he's stuck with them & they go out. Cannot go running off.
This is all you get for now. I have nothing else to offer. Maybe Koga will teach Rika how to build stuff. Or garden. Or play an instrument. Who knows. He'll expose Rika more to rock'n'roll.
