The story and what sorts of challenges she faces should all be focused on the PC (as opposed to a top-down story, for example).1. As far as character adjustments, I wouldn't make any.2. Yes, lots. She could see thru the wolf's eyes. You could use any of the d20 SRD advancement options for animal companions or familiars. You could increase the wolf's baseline stats to a dire wolf around level 7.3. If you want to do a DMPC, I'd go with a knight of the Aquiline Cross who opposes the Ragesian invasion. Build him like a paladin, so principally a defender with lay on hands capability. Remember also that the "Leader" tactical role has nothing to do with the character being the dominant voice in negotiation or decision-making. 4. Yes, there are several quick ways to de-level an encounter:* Reducing enemies or swapping out for minions (highly recommended for 1 player games)* Reducing enemy's level -1 attack, defense, checks, and -10 HP per level reduced* Remove hazardous terrain or other enemy advantages* Give the PC an advantage, such as surprise, choosing how the battlemap is set up, or a terrain power which deals massive damage</blockquote>
