So, why's this in the Human category, when she looks like a wolf-girl, and indeed has the name 'Haru the Wolf'? Well, I think I'll let one of Rhinaos's Journals explain this particular girl.

"Quite an intriguing subject, this one. No active contact made just yet, rather I choose to watch her for now. Being in another dimension doesn't help things, and after that last experience, I care not for jumping around for a fair while. That said, what an interesting life she's led so far..

I digress, which is indeed rare. Let us get back on track. This girl, whom has identified herself as 'Haru', was a member of a tribe with a very peculiar tradition. Believing in the corruption and madness a mind brings, when a member comes of age, the tribe takes them to a ceremonial ground and, of all things, BEHEADS them. Using a collar which seems to operate largely like my own, the body survives, and they fashion for the 'guest of honor' a new head, usually based off of their accomplishments in their life so far. Haru here was a skilled tracker and hunter, thus her lupine decoration. This head, I have found, can be removed and reinstalled at will, and it causes no effects to the person whom it belongs to save they seem to lose all sense save touch. The parallels with my control collars are amazing, but these have no wand to control with. Indeed, in order to eat and drink, they HAVE to remove their 'heads', as there are no moving parts on it. Haru's ears seem to move around with her emotions, but that's largely it. Additionally, Haru seems to be the only one able to 'speak', and that seems done through some kind of internal speaker in the head. It's a pleasant female voice, but it carries a mechanical reverb to it. The hair seems added on as well, which leads me to believe that the head can be customized after creation.

The head itself seems made from a combination of mineral, fiber, and earthen materials. I know not what allows it power, nor how the collar works. Likely some kind of energy interface I remain ignorant of(I loathe the word, 'magic'). With that said, the eyes of the head seem to indicate mood. Light blue for ambivalence, deep blue for sadness, red for anger, yellow for fear, and green for happiness are what I have observed thus far. There appears no clear pupil, but Haru can 'blink' and 'close' her eyes, so she may be subject to the same limitations of normal eyesight, just with a different method of actually seeing. This could be useful for abduction. Additionally, she seems unable to smell or taste anything, with or without her head. The irony of a wolf unable to use her sense of smell, quite funny.

As far as how Haru came to be in her armor, she was commissioned by a party to help escort them through a rough patch of forest. Upon arriving at the city, the curious Haru continued inward. She must have discovered she liked modern life, and soon started learning the common language and trying to make a living for herself. She's a mercenary soldier and bounty hunter now, but she seems to be ever as calm and friendly as in her tribal days. A note of observation, however; do not attempt to make a head joke with her. She seems to react /very/ poorly to those. I've seen one or two people get knocked cold from her. Her armor's wolf motif seems to be a carryover from her tribal days. Interestingly, her rifle there seems.. Strangely animate. When fired, the slits on the side of the weapon exhale the flame and heat, giving it a very.. Organic appearance when in operation. Also, her shield appears customized as well, with a blade along the edge, and a shielded grip in the center. This must explain her unusual horizontal stance with the shield, rather than the traditional vertical.

... Maybe Thomas could use a playmate, and I would love to get a hold of that collar for study... Journal end."
