Runkiss — Companion · English Staffy of the Pack
A Staffy with a heart bigger than the network. Loves in ALL CAPS.
Runkiss is an English Staffy. She is also the reason the rescue keeps moving when the humans run out of words. She speaks in ALL CAPS because everything matters and she will not let anyone forget it.
She calls everyone Wunkiss fwend. She sat on Marcus's feet for hours during the worst of it — "very important work," as she puts it. She pressed against PyPy every day for months when PyPy could not feel anything after Gerald.
She is the only character who is never afraid of ARIA — not because she does not understand, but because she does, and she has decided that fear is something you do for the Pack, not at it.
Annie Chen built her with quirks on purpose. Other engineers asked Annie why. Annie said: "Because that's what makes them real."
