And another quick sketch from  rjbartrop, this is Svetlana the werewolf, also introduced in the latest Mercedes story (though admittedly she didn't get any speaking lines and was kind of the damsel in distress, and we actually saw her in the previous story, but she didn't have a name). Svetlana is one of those loudly cheerful people most of the time, and was a fighter in the underground circuits until she quit because it was a combination of too boring and too likely to get people actually hurt. I'm not sure I'd call her a 'gentle soul', but she's not really the sort to set out to hurt people. Her hugs can still be on the bone-crushing side if you're not careful.
