Editing Rollo

'''Rollo''' was the first animal [[Rachel Lindt]] used her power on. Unbeknownst to her, he wasn't actually a dog.<ref name=R1>'''lordgreyiiMaster:'''<br/>It came to me when I was trying to puzzle out why Bitch's power works better on [[Bastard]] [...] shards imprint on that which is closest, taking information from the surroundings at the time of trigger. Wildbow never actually describes what Rollo looks like. I checked. Rollo is only described as wanting a lot of freedom and becoming increasingly aggressive (even towards Rachel) as time goes on. While that's certainly true of a cooped up dog, that would be more true of a wild dog. What if Rollo was actually an abandoned wolf pup? [...] Her power imprinted on a wolf, works best on wolves. Still works for wolf descendants, but not as well.<br/><br/>'''Wildbow:''' Not quite, but you're on the right track. Rollo wasn't a dog. - [https://redd.it/44apge Parahumans of the Week: Rachel Lindt] (Wildbow, Reddit.com, 2016-02-05)</ref><ref>“How long have you fucking known?” Foil asked, below me.  Her voice raw.<br/><br/>“Since last year,” Tattletale said.  “We were figuring out Rachel’s power.  Why it was different with Bastard than with the dogs.  Why it was better with some others.  Best with Rollo, her first.  Turns out, the dog that she had when she triggered wasn’t a full dog.  Half coyote, we’re guessing.  It always worked better with halfbreeds.  Always will.  She still prefers dogs.”<br/><br/>Rachel grunted.   -[https://www.parahumans.net/2019/12/03 Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.6]]</ref>
