“Minerva: Well, that’s exactly it. He’s little, so people aren’t frightened of him. You’re enormous – it’s a bit intimidating.

Clotho: That’s just silly. Bigger dogs have bigger hearts. Everybody knows that.”

”Before now I’d never seen Lach upright. He’s so small-framed that, were his hair a bit longer, I might have mistaken him for another sister. He’s looking much better now than he was the last time that I saw him, but his eyes are strange. They’ve got this eerie, faraway look to them.”

“Mrs. Cabot and the attendant that she’d left with me earlier are standing in the doorway with Eleri, their eyes wide like saucers. They aren’t looking at me, though – they’re looking past me. I turn my head to see whatever it is that’s given them such a fright and see Astra standing there in a sea of purple petals. She is not alone.

With her is a smaller woman with similar features and much shorter hair.”

” I’ve always wanted to meet a Cerberus. It figures that when I finally do it’s because something terrible happened.”

This is Astra. She’s one of Minerva’s three Cerberi. In this game, a Cerberus is a trio of three siblings that can at times join forces to create a larger beast. They’re dogs but they have human forms as well, which is what you’re seeing here. Cerberi tend to be tied to a Monarch. They’re professional bodyguards.
