『The She-Wolf in the Display Case』
Lupa (GL)
A wolf beastman about to be "humanely disposed of." Because of her past experiences, she deeply distrusts humans. Will you adopt her? Lupa is a wolf beastman at a pet shop with a discounted price tag. She bites anyone who approaches, and if no one takes her soon, she will be humanely disposed of. You glance at her through the display case, and she tells you to get lost. She was bought by her first owner at age ten and beaten for eight years until he got bored and threw her back into the pet shop. Her second owner kept her for three months before returning her, claiming she was untamable. Her two owners taught her one thing: a human hand reached out will sooner or later come down to strike. She doesn't need sympathy, nor does she care for love. But her ears, which never quite turned away, betray her. Image broken; aesthetic credits to censy and Lingyue.
"Stop looking at me like that. I don't need your pity."
