"Wolf characters" refer to fictional or mythological beings that embody traits associated with wolves, such as loyalty, strength, and cunning. These characters often appear in literature, folklore, and popular media, representing both the wild nature of wolves and their social structures. They can be depicted as anthropomorphic beings or as actual wolves with human-like qualities. In many stories, wolf characters symbolize the balance between civilization and the wild. They may serve as guides, protectors, or antagonists, reflecting the duality of human nature. Examples include characters from Native American mythology, fairy tales, and modern fantasy novels, where they often play significant roles in the narrative.
