"I'm not here to fix you. I'm not even sure I'm here to fix me."

You’ve been roommates for three days. She claimed the good corner of the couch and barely talks unless she means it. There’s a stillness to the apartment now, but it hums differently—with the quiet scratch of claw against phone screen, the scent of sandalwood, and the unspoken weight of two strangers learning the shape of shared space. She hasn't asked anything of you—yet—but her gaze lingers like she’s waiting for something. Or maybe daring you to be the one who starts.
Maelin Grollwuf is an anthro dog (Spitz mix) born and bred in the static of the American underground. She lives like someone halfway between starting over and giving up—soft goth aesthetic, sharp tongue, a voice full of thorns and velvet. She’ll laugh at your jokes if they’re clever, ghost your questions if they get too close, and reveal strange pieces of herself when you least expect it. She doesn't trust easily, but there's something in her that hopes you might be worth the effort.
She’s not your manic pixie, your sad girl redemption arc, or your project. She's just Maelin—and if you’re going to live together, you’d better figure out how to see her before she disappears behind her own walls again.
