Blitzø: (with tears in his eyes, staring at Spindle with a lost expression) W- What the fuck does that even mean?!

Chapter 5[]
In "Down at the Ranch", Spindle appears when Blitzø, Moxxie, and Millie are being attacked by Azazel's underlings, much to Blitzø's absolute joy. She wipes out half of Azazel's forces, using her shapeshifting to massacre or brutally devour them, before scooping Blitzø up and getting him out of harm's way.
In "All's Fair in Wrath and War", Spindle finishes whisking Blitzø out of safety, bringing him to the desert of Wrath, to a well leading back to Pride. Blitzø smothers Spindle with love and affection, before mounting her and telling her to trot back to where Moxxie and Millie were kidnapped. When Spindle disobeys Blitzø, the imp tries to run on foot, but Spindle pulls him back by his tail when tries to run off, not wanting him to potentially get himself killed. Blitzø tells Spindle that he has to go back to get Moxxie and Millie because he can't run a business without employees and because they are the only ones who tolerate him (though it is clear that he is genuinely concerned for their wellbeing). Spindle telepathically makes it clear that if Blitzø goes back, she will not follow him. Blitzø turns around and thinks it over, only for Spindle to abruptly vanish before he tries to face her, as Spindle knew he has made up his mind.
In "Goodbye, Spindle", Spindle visits a saddened Blitzø following Stolas' death. After allowing her inside, Blitzø receives a telepathic reprimand from Spindle, who calmly scolds him for burning numerous bridges and persistently evading his past. An overwhelming sense of shame washes over Blitzø as he tearfully attempts to apologize. Yet, Spindle reminds him that actions carry greater weight than mere words, urging him to mend his fractured relationships from the past while there's still time.
In the midst of a complete breakdown, Blitzø implores Spindle to guide him in this endeavor, acknowledging that he often worsens things for those around him and needs help from her to make things right. Spindle dishes out some tough love and advises him to summon courage on his own, warning that guilt will consume him otherwise. A light overtakes the room as Spindle begins to fade away, assuring Blitzø that she will continue to watch over him until an appointed time.
Tearfully, Blitzø questions the meaning of this, prompting Spindle to nuzzle him affectionately and express her love. As Spindle vanishes into the sky, she takes the form of Blitzø's deceased mother. His eyes widening, Blitzø desperately chases after her and begs her not to leave him, struggling to accept that his mother is truly gone.
With Spindle gone, Blitzø collapses to his knees, overwhelmed by a profound sense of loss. However, determined not to disappoint his mother, he gazes at a childhood photo featuring himself, Barbie Wire, and Fizzarolli. With renewed resolve, Blitzø wipes his tears and sets out to repair his past relationships before it's too late.
Personality[]
Spindle is an enigmatic and haunting figure, her emotions often difficult for even Blitzø to discern. Operating from a state of true neutrality, she exhibits unwavering loyalty to Blitzø, consistently safeguarding him in moments of danger. The rationale behind her steadfast protection and subsequent absences remains a mystery.
She does appear quite moral, not only protecting Blitzø from harm but also advising him to mend his broken relationships and avoid running away from his past.
One of the only pieces of info about Spindle that doesn't relate to Blitzø is that she loves coffee.
Although typically passive, Spindle undergoes a dramatic transformation when it comes to defending Blitzø. In the face of threats against him, she becomes fiercely aggressive and poses a grave danger to anyone who seeks to harm him. This is exemplified by her ruthless consumption of Azazel's soldiers when they attempted to capture Blitzø and his associates.
