Ravings of a Textual Deviant » Lunchtime Poll #8: Little Buddies
LI asks:
What’s the best sidekick you’ve ever had? Tell all!
I don't know if I should stick to anthropoids or not. If we can count sentient companions who are of a different species, then the answer is Hadrian's Dora.
Dora is a Wyvernet, somewhat akin to a Brustian Jhereg, but not as poisonous. On the other hand, Dora is a guiding, mediating temperment for the young Hadrian, and has a sense of humor over Hadrian's adventures, especially with respect to the fairer sex. (Dora is, as you might guess, female herself, and finds mating rituals and habits of humans fascinating).
Dora has slightly limited shapeshifting, so she has been present for amorous encounters, even if the female company is not aware of it. (That sword isn't a sword...)
Dora (and Hadrian) currently do NPC duty in Strange Bedfellows.
