Oooooooh! Just had a thought about your Wolfwalkers AU while reading the posts about there possibly being wolfwalkers in the Clans, what if Calaba was one? Dunno how that would fit into the AU at all, but she just feels like she would be the most fitting character for it haha
Of course that would be an AWKWARD first meeting between her and Rei- and then I feel like she would just go "Child. Pup. What did you do." the second she sees Ingo after the unintentional bite and sees that he's a wolfwalker now too
Actually, I think Calaba would be a really good candidate for a Pearl Clan wolf walker! Or someone who might have heard of them before. At the very least, she fits as someone who would take the idea of them pretty well.
Wise Elder wolf trying to keep an eye on the cubs around her. (She probably also just, outright tells the other members of the Pearl clan that Rei is like her,)
As for learning Rei accidentally made Ingo one...
The idea that she talks to him like he’s a puppy who did something naughty, I love it so much. Rei would probably start doing the little whines/whimpers that dogs and puppies do when they’re in trouble and they know it.
She gets that he didn’t do it on purpose, but still.
