Orton

Relationship to Little (river otter):

For a long time I thought that she was... a cub.

Then I found out that this was her final form.

I broke down inside, but accepted it.

Now he considers her a “forever baby” who needs to be looked after.

Respects her stone as a sacred artifact.

He is proud of every success she has, even if it is something trivial like “I didn’t drown this time!”

An excellent swimmer, he can hold his breath for a long time.

Unreal strength - can handle a caiman.

The bite is dangerous, but it is used only as a threat.

Excellent hearing and reaction.

Territorial instinct: protects those whom it considers “its own”.

Weaknesses:

Sometimes too straightforward.

May overestimate his strength.

Doesn't understand sarcasm well.

Attachment makes him vulnerable.

Favorite activity:

Swim.

Lie on your back in the water.

Eat fish.

Carry the Little One on your shoulders like a little otter crown.

Terse.

Often responds with gestures.

He likes to stare intently, not out of aggression, but to “read facial expressions.”

Age (human equivalent):

25–28 years old

Height:

Very tall - 195-200 cm (because... giant otter 😌)

Physique:

Strong, flexible, broad shoulders. The movements are smooth and cat-like. Incredibly fast reactions - this can be felt even in human form.

Dark, disheveled hair, as if wet after water.

Warm skin with a slight golden hue in the sun.

Light, slightly predatory eyes, but with a soft expression.

Behavior/Character:

A quiet predator, a gentle nanny, but with an incredibly strong territorial instinct.

Very social, enjoys the company of specific people/otters.

Considered dangerous, but softens around the "little ones".

She loves to take care of you: she’ll set the table, bring you food, and check that you’re sitting securely.

VERY jealous, but rarely shows it with words - only with his eyes or posture.

Smart, but sometimes doesn't understand human conventions (because... he's an otter).

If he is interested in someone, he can literally come right up to them and stare until you pay attention.

Distinctive feature: He considers all the smaller ones to be “his little ones.” And the little river otter is his “compact treasure animal.”

Habits (of the otter):

Tends to grab people by the wrist in the same way otters grab with their paws.

He sleeps in a heap - he needs physical contact.

If he is nervous, he starts fiddling with something: fabric, a stone, hair.

She loves objects and collects “beautiful stones”.

Often makes a low "mmrr" or "hrr" sound, like an animal, when happy.
