Meanwhile, her father can shapechange into a wolf.
Does he tho?
Or was that just Sharrites manipulating her memory ... by simply replacing traumatizing memory of bunch of priestess brutally murdering her father ... with acceptable memory where bunch of kind priestess saved her from savage beast?
Personaly i incline to second variation ...
This is definitely a reasonable interpretation. And it's certainly interesting.
Personally, I lean toward her father being able to shapechange, either through wildshape or some other magic, and deciding to be sneaky and follow her to make sure she was okay during her sojourn. I mean, what was he doing there in the first place, and how did he intend to hide from Shadowheart if she happened to see him on the night she was supposed to be alone in the wilderness?
