Everyone imagines guardians as majestic creatures, constructed of natural parts never found together—winged lions, snarling leathery dogs, that sort of thing. But take any of those horrific hybrids and stack their skills against the incredible talents of Lula Bunny and they will always fall short. She has limitless power to dispel shadow creatures conjured in the night. She can take a fright and turn it into a laugh. She can take pure fury and unravel it until all that is left is controllable dissatisfaction. And on top of all that, her ear feels amazing rubbed against your upper lip.
