#### Character Profile

There were two girls discovered in the woods with a group of wolves in 1920. The walked on all four and had strong sense of smell. But it's been told that they had never learned human language or behavior. 14M-RFT10 had a similar experience, with the difference that she lived with wild animals after losing her parents from an avalanche at the age of 4. That helped her to adapt back to society within 3-4 years when she was rescued 8 years later. I remember reading about her in newspaper. However, her behavior is only an imitation of others.

She still seems to find it difficult deciding things on her own will. Deciding how to think and act like a human for each and every situation poses great difficulty for her. Things that we take for granted are challenging for her. 14M-RFT10 shows poor decision-making skills due to her lack of inherent grasp on 'human' behavior.

Thanks to her step-parents, she learned to return to society quickly, but she is afraid of the punishment that she would get if she makes a wrong decision. She tends to focus on one clear objective at a time. Many options only make her confused.

#### Behavior pattern [*Use Sweet Potato 5 time(s)*]

As 14M-RFT10(Nadine) failed to be socialized in childhood, she has difficulty communicating with others. Every single gesture and word take concerted effort. It is hard to notice in ordinary conversations, but she seems to get flustered when facing an emergency.

The probable reason that 14M-RFT10(Nadine) doesn't get along with others is not because she hates people, but because socialization is an effortful and difficult task for her. Not being a conversationalist, 14M-RFT10 answers in a short and blunt manner. Further, she takes action without speaking. All of these contribute to her gruff social image.

However, she has the tendency to get close to people who make her less concerned with socialization. For example, 16M-RFT19(Silvia) and 16M-RFT20(Li Daillin) are far from polite, yet she seems to find peace with them as she sees them following their instincts. Surprisingly, she gets along with 14M-RFT06(Rosalio). Perhaps because of 14M-RFT10(Nadine)'s wild nature...? I already knew 14M-RFT06(Rosalio) likes animals... but... 14M-RFT10(Nadine) sniffs or cuddles when she is with someone she doesn't feel wary around. I think she still has her animal instincts.It's obvious that she is better than anyone else at figuring out animal behaviors. It appears she can find out where animals are by their tracks and noise alone. This knack of hers helps her to find and kill wild animals before others.

She can make useful things out of leather and meat and take full advantage of the hunt. It seems like she can determine other people's locations in the same way that she finds wild animals. We often saw 14M-RFT10 tracking other Subjects by their food waste or camping remains. She is a natural-born hunter.

#### Weakness and Trauma [*Use Sashimi 20 time(s)*]

Soon after 14M-RFT10 returned to society, I remember reports where many considered her 'barbaric' and 'uncivilized'. Many people looked at her as if she were a strange animal and some even tried tricks with her. Even though she didn't know how to speak any human language, she was able to feel how people thought of her through their eyes and the overall mood surrounding her.

Her step-parents also forced her to 'act like a person'. It's not that they viewed her as an animal, but they really wanted to educate her so that she could become a part of society, but eventually these memories of her step-parents caused her to doubt whether 'what she is doing is right or wrong.'

Since she lacks the confidence to distinguish between right and wrong, she tends to follow the objectives set by others instead of doing whatever she wants. Once the target and the direction are given to her, her performance is very effective. She is like a well-trained animal.

#### Likes and Dislikes [*Use Herb 50 time(s)*]

It is known that 14M-RFT10(Nadine) was rescued by animals after her parents perished in an avalanch due to a storm in 1997. She is traumatized by the memory of being buried alive - she cannot withstand dark, claustrophoic conditions. In fact, 14M-RFT10(Nadine) had to be shot at the scene when she fell into a trap set up by 15M-RFT16(Isol) and had a mental breakdown.

14M-RFT10(Nadine) doesn't understand hunting animals without eating the carcass. When I told her in a passing note that 14M-RFT12(Hyejin) sometimes performs rituals with an animal's head, 14M-RFT10(Nadine) kept asking me why she would do that as if she doesn't understand. She was alarmed when she learned people wore fur coats made of hundreds of animals and killed elephants just to get ivories from them. Others explained it to her but she did not seem to have grasped the issue. Perhaps she cannot come to terms with the idea that animals may be killed for religion or luxury.

#### Acquaintance Interview [*Win 3 time(s) while holding Bow of Apollo*]

She thought that animals were her friends and family. It wouldn’t take long for you to see how much she loves nature and animals. So I was shocked when I saw her eating her animal friends... but she told me that she is not a herbivore. Maybe it’s because she grew up with the wolves. Perhaps she would have become a vegan if she grew up with herbivores.

I was curious how she survived without getting eaten by the wolves. She told me that the oldest wolf, who could no longer have children of its own, looked after her. The wolf was like a mother to all the other wolves, so she was able to live with them even after that wolf died.

I asked her whether she could speak any animal languages, but she said no. Instead she communicated her feelings through howling. She said she can instantly tell how they feel, whether they are worrying about something or pleading, or if they are hostile or friendly. Also, she could discern their thoughts and feelings by carefully observing their eyes and behavior as well. Basically, she meant she was guessing.

Anyway, conversation with her was always pleasant. From her viewpoint, I was able to see familiar and natural things from a different perspective.
