My D&D character and his dynamic in the Party

So we’ve begun a new campaign in D&D.  We’re up against an evil horde of dragon-themed monsters and mobsters.  I opted to make a new character for the new game, and I surprised absolutely no one who even slightly knows me by being an awakened (sentient) wolf.

Someone offered to heal that scar above his right eye once, but he likes the way it looks on him.  That collar on his neck is an amulet of speech.  I modeled his personality when interacting with the sentient races to be something like Dug from Up, or Caboose from Red vs Blue.  In spite of that, he’s a pretty tough fighter, modeling his style after the Eldritch Knight archetype.  He was already using magic to talk, so why not shoot fire out of his muzzle and use a magical barrier to shield civilians, right?

I was originally going to call him Schützer (“defender” in German), but a friend who plans to rejoin the party soon was looking forward to calling him Moon Moon.  I compromised by calling him Mondschützer (“moon defender”) with the surname of his adoptive human family being Moon.  So his full name is Moon Defender Moon.

He has already developed varying dynamics with the party, bonding quickly with a rustic human  outdoorsman called Balder by sharing a bit of backstory and professing his cameraderie with the party and dedication to their shared mission.  He also earned the ridicule of the two rogues; he offered to stand atop a barricade and try to reason with a multi-ton lightning dragon, and was told by the elf rogue to wear a chicken suit.  The anthropomorphic cat rogue then presented one.  The cat-rogue, Arrow by name, is played by my brother.
