Kali
Maya's bonded daemon — a dog whose read on a situation is so precise it tends to arrive before Maya's does, and she's made her peace with that.
Maya
Dog
Soul-linked companion, not a summon or a tool. Kali and Maya operate as a single positioning system — one reading terrain, one reading the opponent, neither distinguishing which is which.
Disciplined, perceptive, and built for interception. Kali doesn't chase; she places herself where things will be. The control is quiet until the moment it isn't.
Attentive in a way that makes everyone near her feel assessed. The assessment is accurate. Kali moves with a precision that doesn't announce itself — economy of presence, economy of motion. No wasted step.
A dog built for work, not show. The physicality is lean purpose — not decorative mass, just everything needed and nothing extra.
