The first two characters I ever came up with, way back when I was about nine. I don't actually remember the girl's name, but she was a princess of the Star People, with the power to create stars. Clearly, I had no idea what that actually meant. The wolf is Windhowl, her companion and guardian. Fully sentient, and always trying to chase after her, and keep her from doing something stupid.
I had a post for yesterday, a revised version of the post from Thursday, but unfortunately, I forgot to post it before I left! I'll get that up later today, after I get back home.
