The Wolfgirl Directory
Welcome to the wolfgirl directory, which is... a directory of wolfgirls!
These are basically just characters that I personally think are neat, and is not at all meant to be an exhaustive list of wolfgirls I've encountered (or even an exhaustive list of wolfgirls in a particular series). So, that said:
Elsa Bete - Symphogear
Elsa Bete is a member of 'Noble Red', the antagonist group of Symphogear XV. She was a test subject of the Bavarian Illuminati (long story) and became a self-described monster with wolf ears and a detachable tail claw. While she doesn't particularly enjoy fighting, she is more than willing to do so in order to protect the other members of her team and carve out a place for them in the world.
Although Noble Red canonically perish in the finale episodes of XV, it's not hard to imagine them surviving and continuing to interact with the rest of the cast. Despite not geting as much spotlight as the other members of Noble Red, Elsa's twitchy demeanour and wolfish tendencies still make her a standout character.
Momiji Inubashiri - Touhou Project
Momiji Inubashiri is a white wolf tengu from Touhou Project. She patrols Youkai Mountain and appeared as a midboss in the tenth Touhou game Mountain of Faith, although she didn't have much of an appearance. Despite this, she is popular and appears fairly often in fanworks.
Depictions of Momiji vary a fair bit: sometimes she's upbeat and reasonably friendly, other times she's a harsh and unyielding warrior, and she can also just be a downtrodden patrol tengu who's resigned to being kicked around by her bosses. However she always has some kind of relationship with crow tengu reporters Aya Shameimaru and Hatate Himekaidou, and she loves to play shogi.
Kagerou Imaizumi - Touhou Project
Kagerou Imaizumi is a werewolf youkai from Touhou Project. She lives in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, appearing as a boss in the fourteenth Touhou game Double Dealing Character. She is quite popular and appears in both official works and fanworks.
She's quite self-conscious about her wolfish traits, particularly her hair: she goes to special lengths to hide it with her clothing and dress. She's part of the Grassroots Youkai Network, an organization of weaker youkai who can band together and share information to stay afloat in Gensokyo. She's particularly close with the mermaid Wakasagihime, and their relationship is the focus of many fanworks involving her.
Projekt Red - Arknights
Projekt Red (codename, real name unknown) is a Lupo from Arknights. She's an assassin for the protagonist faction 'Rhodes Island', as well as a member of their internal security team. While her exact origins are unknown, from a young age she was taken in by a mysterious figure and trained to fight in a sort of proxy death game organised by some ancient wolf gods. After being rescued/diverted from this fate by Dr. Kal'tsit, she now uses her skill with a knife to kill important targets and protect VIPs for Rhodes Island.
Red isn't the most popular Arknights character, but still manages to feature in a fair few fanworks. As informed by her in-game files and story content, she's usually trying to find something resembling community and a life outside of being a weapon. She also loves to snuggle in the tails of other Lupo, particularly the exceptionally fluffy tail of Provence.
Texas - Arknights
Texas (codename, real name Cellinia Texas) is a Lupo from Arknights. She's a member of 'Penguin Logistics', nominally a delivery service based in the mobile city of Lungmen. Her origins are in the Texas mafia family, which left Siracusa (Arknights Italy) for Columbia (Arknights USA) before later attempting a coup against the head of the Siracusan mafia (which failed horribly). Long story short, Texas survived that by making a deal with a wolf god, managed to just leave and do Penguin Logistics stuff for a bit, and then got dragged back into A Situation in Siracusa and lots of stuff happened. Anyway she's fine now.
Texas is one of the more popular Arknights characters, starring in several events and featuring in a wide array of fanworks. The vast majority of these focus on her fraught relationship with Lappland, to varying degrees of drama and tragedy. Despite her capacity for extreme violence, she's generally quite easygoing and enjoys hanging out with the rest of the Penguin Logistics crew, and is borderline dependent on pocky.
Felsi Rollo - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
Okay, so I know what you're thinking. "Felsi isn't a wolfgirl! There aren't any animal people in G-Witch at all! This isn't a thing." And these things, strictly speaking, are true. However: Felsi Rollo is one of the most wolfgirl-coded characters I have ever seen. Messy, fluffy light brown hair. Gold eyes. Slightly growling voice. Great physical presence. If there were people walking around with animal ears in WfM, Felsi Rollo would absolutely be a wolfgirl. Also this is my list so there.
Anyway, Felsi is ultimately a supporting character without a huge amount dialogue or screentime, especially in the middle stretch of the show. Despite this, she has captured the hearts and minds of the people- okay look there's a decent amount of fanart and stuff of her hanging out with Petra who is definitely her girlfriend. Also she's just a good henchman when the show's in School Hijinks mode and gets an incredible appearance during an otherwise lacklustre finale. Felsi's great.
