Description
Bessie is a broad, heavy-bodied badger with bright, watchful eyes, a stubborn snout, and the absolute confidence of a creature who knows she is beloved. Though she appears to be an ordinary animal at first glance, Bessie carries herself like a small-town guardian and nurse, especially around children, frightened civilians, wounded allies, and members of the Blackwolf household.
She is fiercely protective rather than vicious. Bessie places herself between danger and the vulnerable, growls at anyone she judges threatening, and uses her weight, warmth, and presence to calm those in distress. In Phandalin, she is widely regarded as a local treasure: part mascot, part nurse, part guard animal, and part queen. She responds enthusiastically to praise, honey, jerky, soft blankets, and scratches behind her ears.
Bessie understands the tone and intent of familiar voices and, when affected by speak with animals or similar magic, communicates with blunt affection, food-based priorities, and surprising emotional insight.
