She doesn't even have a fucking name. It's just "she-wolf".

The turks at least named theirs/ours. She's called Asena wait shit, wrong one. Asena

I know it's a joke but she-wolf iconography was very common in rome:

She was one of the great symbols of rome, but wolves as a whole were seen as complex entities embodying both good and bad, and adopting 'moral ambiguity' as a symbol of your nation is honest not the best brand image. Plus, since rome's whole thing was stealing accomplishments wholesale from the greeks and pretending they'd been rome's all along (early reddit!), they really needed to adopt a symbol of Zeus for... tedious theo-political reasons, which is why we wound up with the Aquilla.

They weren't raised by the wolf. She only suckled them as infants until the shepherd Faustulus arrived and he raised them with his prostitute wife.

This was on the cover of my latin textbook in school. Definitely uncomfortable to look at so frequently

I know animism in theory, but I'm not aware it includes wolf fucking by design? Just because a rock or a tree has a soul/spirit doesnt mean I can fuck it. Honestly it is the opposite in my eyes: you first need to get consent, if you believe it to be animated by a spirit.
