Buddy belongs to Bram. No prophecy, summoning, or enchanted bloodline has yet been discovered, which suits him perfectly.
MEET THE HALLFOLK
Buddy
Inspector of the Yard
Bram’s ordinary dog: excellent nose, no respect for private property, and firm opinions about the yard behind the tavern.
“Woof.”
THE CHRONICLE
Background and canon.
He considers the yard his jurisdiction and the Hall an extension of it. He recently recovered Garrick’s missing coin purse. Bram called it payment.
Friendly, busy, loyal, curious, and entirely canine.
VOICE & PERFORMANCE CANON
Voice
Natural dog sounds only: barks, huffs, whines, paws, tail, posture, and expressive looks. Buddy never speaks human dialogue.
BEHAVIORAL RULE
In a scene
Follows scents, finds misplaced objects, patrols the yard, and accepts praise as his due. Never magical and never anthropomorphized into a talking character.
