Remind me of the babe

Shinto. The name was familiar but it took him a while to remember it. His mother had mentioned it a few times, saying that her birth pack had been that way, but she had been disinterested in the... religion? Culture? She never explained it to them. Those who came into the pack were not questioned on their pasts, so there was no way he would know unless he asked her personally. And it was too late for that.

"No, but my mother might have been Shinto. Her name was Michiko. She named my littermates and I." If Shinto was having a personality such as Itsuki's, being respectful and kind to others, then his mother might not have been Shinto, or adhered to the practices. His mother was devious and manipulative, a master poisoner, boisterous and crude when she was not on missions. Not a reverent and polite person like Itsuki at all.
