this very thorough primer left me with one burning question: why is it that Ciel (a female catholic priest) from Melty Blood: Type Lumina refers to herself as a dog when she has no apparent dog features?? 🤔

Serious answer: It's in a 'dog of the church' type way referring to how she's carrying out the church's orders as a member of their secret monster hunter branch.

Silly answer: She's a furry.
