Character details in the Wolf King trailer that I love.
Hector’s pouch sash is such a genius character piece. Completely in character for him to have all of his magister supplies on hand.
Aside the hair ornaments that I mentioned in a previous post, I love the floral designs on Gretchen’s outfit. Also the detail her hair is actually tied back into a long braid is also a great addition. It gives her a fox-like silhouette even while she’s human.
Shout out to Whitley’s hoodie and hair braids.
The fact the slot for her staff doesn’t interfere with the design on her jacket works really well.
I can’t help but chuckle at the fact Lucas’s shoulder pauldrons/spaulders are literal lion paws.
That had to be an intentional pun on the character designers part.
Also just the overall design of Lucas’s outfit appears so much more ornate than his father’s armor. It sells the idea that Lucas is a spoiled brat, while Leopold was the conqueror. One is for ceremony, the other is for war.
Just.
Everything with the Wyldermen. From mere savages in the books to something truly nightmarish in this series.
Coldblood here looks particularly amazing.
Vega’s fin rings are such an in character detail for him to have. But it does propose a question.
Where do they go when he transforms?
Last, but not least, for a character who will only be in one episode, Tilly has various little details I want to point out.
Her hand tattoos intrigued me when I first saw the latter shot. Initially thinking it was Drew’s hand (a ‘sacred birth mark’ kind of thing) until I went through the trailer a second time.
The earrings and piercings are also an interesting detail to her character. Especially given the pelt and furs aesthetic they seem to be giving the Cold Coast in the show.
Given we later learn Tilly was a maid for Queen Amalie and Weregar, maybe these are sort of seeds that plant that connection?
The first things the hand tattoos reminded me of was tattoos Native American women, particularly Inuk women, would have.
Since I — and a few others if fanart is anything to go by — visualized the White Wolves of Shadowhaven, like Amalie, with an Inuit aesthetic. Could the show be implying that Tilly was a maid of Amalie in Shadowhaven that came to Highcliff when she married Weregar?
It would be easier for her to sell the idea that Drew’s her son if she came from the same region as Amalie.
Am I thinking to hard about this? Most definitely. But it’s been a worm in my ear and I had to share it.
