Upon awakening in Haven, Amaterasu will find herself in a human body. This enables her to actually hold her phone (no fingers or opposable thumbs as a wolf) and to speak human languages!
Personality: Amaterasu is referred to throughout the game as "source of all that is good and mother to us all". But in her mind, the latter always comes first.
Ammy sees everything and everyone as her child. As the "True Mother to All", she sees every living thing as her responsibility to take care of, nurture, and protect. She heals every dead tree that she encounters, feeds every wild animal, and goes out of her way on many sidequests to help the various humans she meets.
Her love is unconditional and relentless - she will love you the moment she meets you and it is nearly impossible to get her to stop. She believes everyone is capable of changing for the better and won't hesitate to nudge people towards the right path in her own way. She's very encouraging and comforting, and will never give up on someone she loves. She's optimistic in other people and helpful to a fault - she can be taken advantage of fairly easily, as her history with one Ninetails proves.
Amaterasu is nonetheless someone you don't want to make an enemy of. Like the alpha female of a wolf pack, she is ferociously protective of her children, but also expects to be respected. She will forgive others much more easily of an offence directed at herself than she forgives one directed at one of her children, but an insult against her will not be forgotten easily.
Thus, she sees things in shades of black and white. Where she's from, humans are good and demons are mostly bad; she does not easily understand that some humans have the hearts of demons. She's very naive and gullible that way, but in drastic situations, she suddenly becomes very good at cutting through lies.
A dog's unconditional love isn't the only doggy thing she's inherited. She can also be easily distracted or just plain stop paying attention to what people are saying to her, although it's usually when she's being told things she already knows or are fairly obvious. She chews on things that are unfamiliar to her, and loves touching and scratches behind the ear.
Finally, Amaterasu is truthful... mostly. She's a mom, so she knows when the truth will hurt, so she knows when telling white lies will help and how to break painful news carefully. She cannot tell people outright that she is a goddess because that undermines the faith she needs in order to protect her people, so she will regularly tell the half-truth that she is a servant of "a higher power".
