Mihaketi
This is probably not the best idea, but here we are.

I haven't had the luxury of witnessing the fishing RP I always hear about, but every minor interaction Dzekk has had with Mihaketi has just been so lighthearted and funny. Not sure if it's your intent, but the character does a damn good job of elevating the mood where they are.
Mihaketi is an interesting take for a character. You've made it a point to try to avoid speaking altogether, and rather try to convey Mihaketi's emotions via emotes or body language. This is generally pretty difficult, but you've established enough of Mihaketi's personality to where it's pretty discernible at times to tell how he's feeling or what he's interested/disinterested in.
I personally love him as a character, merely because Seir knows him, but doesn't fully know him. He's an acquaintance, but one the he still relatively enjoys being around. You're a very interesting take on a Lycanthrope overall and I look forward to future interactions.
Some characters in this game are self-inserts. Some are tropes. Some are stereotypes. All of these have some human behavior to fall back on, which makes them somewhat easier to play. Mihaketi is an honest-to-goodness wolf more often than not, acting like that even while being his grecht self. I'm genuinely impressed with how well-done it all is, and how good you are at portraying such an alien character.
That being said I absolutely adore Mihaketi and the player does a phenomenal job portraying Mihaketi to be totally different and sticking with what they want for the character. It takes a lot of time and commitment on the players part to really get the point they are expressing out, and the player does an absolutely brilliant job. I love Mihaketi, and just how adorable the reactions to things Ary does can be. I really regret nothing when it comes to befriending and really having a close relationship for Ary in character.
I just love how, though, largely neutral in a situation Mihaketi can be. They don't have to necessarily take sides - an observer, someone who is just there, and reacts in a way where words aren't needed. Their presence is actually really comforting. They are there for a moment, then gone the next, so it never extends to the point where you're struggling to interact. But they visit often enough that they are a very active presence regardless, and more often this is also very sporadic.
Because of the way Mihaketi is, never once have they made Nola feel pressured or ill at ease and sometimes they're simply a nice background presence, messing with stuff and doing their own thing - they don't need you! Ahh. I have a lot I could say, but I hope this sums up a lot of it.
Mihaketi is basically just a treat to have around. At this point, I'd be disappointed if they weren't, and I expect them to poke their head in the door at any minute!

Mihaketi doesn't so much toe the line, as in very tastefully stay on the side of brevity and need-to-know information. Like the contrast between the big city and the small town, a small scene with Mihaketi allows you to kick back, relax, and dip your toes in simplicity, even so far as to manage wordless characterization.
Expressing so much with a little, and keeping language concise is a challenge. Kudos for being better at it than me. It's a pleasure to read.
