Alpha is Abenthy's trusty donkey, pulling the wagon through early travels with Kvothe's troupe. She appears in background moments, her ear pivoting at slapstick noises and later unhitched after a day's pull. A minor but grounding presence in the nomadic life before tragedy strikes.
Description
This stocky adult female donkey has a sturdy, shaggy coat suited for hauling, with one ear often pivoting alertly to sounds. Her build is solid and dependable, harnessed in simple tack for pulling a wagon. She exudes patient earthiness, rubbed down after work with a calm, enduring presence.
