It wasn't until Ashitaka called her beautiful that San began to wonder where she got it from.
She had never thought about her human family before, having always considered the wolves to be her only family. She knew nothing about them and had never really cared to know. Moro had never said anything about them, and San had never bothered asking.
But it was suddenly an itch she couldn't scratch. What were they like? Did she have her mother's eyes? Or perhaps her father's nose? Which side of the side of the family did her hair color come from? Did they miss her? Were they even still alive?
San stopped wondering when she found out.
Secretly though, she had wanted them to be beautiful.
Well, thank you for the rousing response to this so far, and I mean that. I'll post the rest because I want to be rid of these fics, and no other reason. Only two more to go, so hang on to your lifevests people.
