Suojelija
Submitted by Ristiinna on March 22nd, 2021
Ristiinnä's husky sled-dog companion had been called Koira, which just means Dog, since she didn't know the proper name and felt like it would be disrespectful to give her a new one. But Cesistya asked the dog for her name, and she chose "the one who steadfastly watches over others", which was translated into Sindarin as Varyindë, or into the Lumi-kieli (here depicted as Finnish) as Suojelija.
