History DarthWiki / BrotherWolf

* DepravedHomosexual - Ellis. Some of the things Yuri talks about in the first scene are pretty lurid, and he's no shrinking violet either. It's not altogether certain that it happened quite like that, but Ellis, [[AnythingThatMoves bisexual to the last]], doesn't deny it either. [[spoiler:The climax happens because Michal turns down Yuri's offensive advances.]] Averted with Silnov; it is an incidental part of his character, but it's implied when Mlynarczyk is talking to Michal [[spoiler:who admits to feelings for Tyne after his death]] that this element has been used by the press to question the liberal attitudes toward it as evidenced by the supposedly heinous crimes committed by "homosexual" Boris Silnov.

* {{Bishonen}} - from the way he's described, at least, Silnov. In his thirties, he's more ''biseinen'' as per the article, but hey...cool it, ladies, he's gay.

* PornStash / ADateWithRosiePalms - Lil Newton is allowed to read banned and indexed pornographic books held by a lending library because she is a midwife. Yuri trades in it with Alyosha, who has become a connoisseur of pornographic literature because he invariably contracts VD when he goes with prostitutes; his Tirsk witch, Old Olga, recommended he do this. [[spoiler:It is not held to be in Alexei's favour once he is facing sequestration.]]

Novel by {{Tropers/Crowqueen}}, part of ''{{DarthWiki/The Nine Lives of Michal Piech}}'' and the second of three books detailing Michal's life at the Lowe Road workhouse - and now elsewhere. Named after a Russian fairy tale, ''[[http://russian-crafts.com/tales/fox_wolf.html Sister Fox and Brother Wolf]]'' (warning - poor English rendering), and incorporating plot based on the Creator/MarieDeFrance lay of ''Literature/{{Bisclavret}}'' and several of AesopsFables. The later novel ''{{DarthWiki/Giedre}}'' is subtitled ''Sister Fox''.

* GoodIsNotDumb - Russell. As he understands what's required of him to protect [[spoiler:Woolf and Michal]], he increasingly finds himself looking his colleagues in the eye - and more. It's possible Halina awoke in him his inner nature, but his misogyny apart, he has hard and very LawfulGood depths within in him, and is about the only character who is compassionate to a fault, ''including'' Michal.

* CityOfWeirdos - you can find anything in Lockley; even stray wolves don't raise an eyebrow...

* DepravedHomosexual - Ellis. Some of the things Yuri talks about in the first scene are pretty lurid, and he's no shrinking violet either. It's not altogether certain that it happened quite like that, but Ellis, [[AnythingThatMoves bisexual to the last]], doesn't deny it either. [[spoiler:The climax happens because Michal turns down Yuri's offensive advances.]] Averted with Silnov; it is an incidental part of his character, but it's implied when Mlynarczyk is talking to Michal [[spoiler:[[BiTheWay who]] admits to feelings for Tyne after his death]] that this element has been used by the press to question the liberal attitudes toward it as evidenced by the supposedly heinous crimes committed by "homosexual" Boris Silnov.

* TheMourningAfter - The story opens with Sergei Medvedev mourning his wife. Carrie is finding it difficult to get over Michal's "death" and Alyosha, due to marry her in the spring, is getting frustrated with it. Also [[spoiler:Michal after Tyne's death - he realises he was attracted to him and admits he is [[BiTheWay bisexual]].]]

* BadassGrandpa - there's no actual violence involved but Russell manages to outwit the much younger Seymour simply by virtue of finally learning how and when to assert his authority. In passing, we learn that he uses every legal trick in the book to keep Michal out of Ozzie, and although physically weak, seemingly hopelessly out of touch, and no match for the military veteran Seymour, he has learned the time and place for leaping to the defence of his more vulnerable charges.
