MEME: Ten Things I Don't Know About You!

 Since we've had so many new players and new characters arrive in the past couple of months, it's time for everyone to get to know each other a little better! And so, in the spirit of such an effort, we present you with the following meme!


 
TEN FACTS MEME

The rules are simple:

- Post a comment for each of your characters!
-
 Include ten (or more!) facts about them that other people might not know.
- Nothing is too insignificant! Every detail offers some kind of insight.
- Seek out people for new CR, make new friends!

Delphine Angua Von Uberwald

1. Angua is a werewolf! While this might not be remarkable in its own right, the werewolves of Discworld have a number of qualities worth mentioning, important among them being that they cannot be killed by anything but fire or silver, and that pureblooded werewolves are a separate species, and transform into either humans or wolves, with no in-between.
2. Ordinarily, Angua is a vegetarian. She prefers not to eat meat, aside from during the full moon. Then it's all she can do to avoid bipedal meat.
3. When transforming, the werewolves of the Disc do not magically keep their clothes. For this reason, there is a small, lightweight dress in a pouch on the back of her badge. Lately she's taken to keeping her communicator there as well.
4. Family is not a popular topic with Angua. Her brother tried to lead a neo-nazi-werewolf revolution and killed her sister, her father is (much) more wolf than human, and her mother is at best a shameless enabler to them both.
5. Angua was the first w...erewolf to join the Ankh-Morpork city watch. This is no small accomplishment, particularly given the watch commander's... uncertainty regarding the undead.
6. While she typically falls onto the "flight" side of the fight or flight coin, Angua will lash out viciously when cornered - or mocked.
7. Angua is sort of big. Werewolves are typically built to about one-tenth larger than the average human, to accommodate for the laws of physics when transforming into a very large wolf (perhaps comparable to a smallish direwolf for those familiar with Game of Thrones.)
8. When Angua joined the AMCW, it was transitioning out of being the Night Watch, and her training reflected this fact. Angua is very at-home in the dark and at night, particularly in urban areas.
9. Angua has long been distrustful of other werewolves, stemming from her family issues.
10. She tends to flinch at words like "bath" and "vet." Something between a man and a wolf has got to have a little dog in it, right?
