here are tulia's beloved dogs! borum manor's chalk full of hounds and mutts, roughly six of which are her favourite. this is not an exhaustive list by all accounts
grey winter ( also called "grey" or "ranger" ) is the dog who's been with her the longest and the one who followed her from her time as a simple soldier. one of lord timothain's more aged kennel dogs and an unofficial gift upon the disbandment of their banners at gumtur river, tulia took him when she left for borgenden. a wolfhound with a robust frame and strong sense of direction, trained to perfection and unwilling to retire, he makes for a helpful, if a touch overenthusiastic hunter
sapphire ( also "captain" ) an old coonhound snatched from a breeder alongside a puppy from her latest and last litter - fire. fire ( also "scout" ) is an unbeaten scent hound, a constant companion to tulia and a hardworking girl often employed for navigation. when off the clock, she's also a rather paranoid guardian to her mistress and anyone in tow. sapphire, similarly, numbers amongst tulia's most disciplined hounds, second only to grey, though armed with a more robust patience. the calmest dog in her bunch and the widely agreed upon ringleader.
skunk is tulia's newest dog. found in the marshes with mud deep-baked into her fur and a pep in her step nevertheless, the hardy mutt followed tulia home for a warm meal and continued returning until she trusted her enough to allow a bath. it was true love ever since. she still rarely allows pampering and maintains a fondness for dirt, but has developed a taste for cuddles and luxuriously soft bedding. materializes out of thin air at the smell of cheese.
egg ( good egg, eggy, peg, pegleg ) is a free-range borum mutt, fed at large by the villages nearby and known as a bit of a local hero. a lame-pawed, yappy little thing, he's a bonafide alarm with a good sense for danger or trouble. common accompaniment to tulia during retrieval runs during fog season. she'll get him to trust her enough for a chin scratch yet!
bullwark ( bull, bully, guard, winnie ) is a fortress mutt and one of the guard dogs of the baroness keep. a friendly girl to all inhabitants but her tolerance for strangers and intruders is next to none. somewhat suspiciously smart and scary for it. staff will often take her along when they have to leave the keep after dusk for chores. she may not be intimidating in size but her technique of just sort of standing there unmovingly works well enough to scare off undesirables. master of psychological manipulation for gluttonous reasons.
