#+ the dog theming mixes with her loss of autonomy

Um. Prey animal having predator theming. In case anyone cares

Okayss. I guess I'll elaborate. Cherie holds a lot of guilt for the person she is + being in the Stellaron Hunters on account of growing up religious, being a follower of Yaoshi, and generally being a good person at her core. She was raised to be a "good dog," to follow orders when they're given and to not cause problems, in the start of her life it was to provide a good example for the children where she lived, then it was to be a good test subject, now it's to be a good hound for Elio. When he tells her to kill, she will kill, when he gives her a script, she follows. Cherie has always been a good dog. But, how good can she be when there's so, so much blood on her hands? She bites and attacks on order, but even then, blood is blood.

And also, I just really like predator theming on prey animals, especially considering Cherie is a "good person in the worst situation" kind of character; a deer having wolf/dog theming really lays that on thick, something soft and docile having to maim and kill at the orders of others, the least solace she can give herself is that Elio considers her a good dog.
