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!”

Unreal strength - can handle a caiman.

Sometimes too straightforward.

May overestimate his strength.

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

And the little river otter is his “compact treasure animal.”

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

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