Small and delicate-muzzled, Erzá carries a startling reserve of strength beneath her fine outline. Her prominent black eyes and tightly held energy make her seem less like a pet than a spring about to uncoil.

Erzá is Ilágin’s small, pure-bred, red-spotted bitch, remembered for the striking contrast between her delicate muzzle and steel-like muscles. In the hunt she outpaces the other borzois and darts after the hare with terrible swiftness, her movement so sudden and forceful that she rolls over like a ball. The novel gives her no broader personal history, but her brief appearance makes her a vivid image of speed and instinct.
Description
Erzá is small and slender, but her body is packed with hard, steel-like muscle. Red spots mark her coat, and her delicate muzzle contrasts with her prominent, glossy black eyes. She has the fine, pure-bred look of a hunting dog, with a taut, energetic presence that suggests tremendous speed.
