It's thought that Hattie is fairly certain she is actually a wild dire, rather than a small representative of the already-small toki population. She strides waddles forward with unwavering self-confidence, vocalising at anything that looks like it might need a good telling off (including inanimate objects), and administering sharp corrective nips where necessary. In an unlikely turn of events she is one of the wet nurses of choice for abandoned pups in Sosin, and was so for Sise - until he was roughly her size, at which point she became a sort of beloved aunt.
