Shadow's fur is a blend of grey and tan. He has lighter, almost cream-colored, fur running from his inner thighs and along the underside of his tail, over his belly and chest, and fading up his neck and underside of his muzzle. His ear tips, cheekruffs, and tailtip are accented with dark, almost black, points, and his nose, pawpads, and claws are also black. However, his left-front dewclaw is solid gold, revealing his heritage.

In his feral form, he is 3 feet tall at the shoulder, weighs 180 pounds, and is roughly 8 feet long, a third of which is his tail.

He doesn't have any human-hair-like headfur, beyond what would be found on an ordinary wolf. Shadow's eyes are a deep, luminescent shade of blue, and in the right conditions (and if he's in the right state of mind), they glow. Shadow has subtle snagglefangs and longish whiskers, like one would expect on a cat. On occasion, he has been known to wear a blue collar with a single silver tag.

Shadow's personality could best be described as calm, patient, and generally good-natured. Shadow can be strong-willed and independent, but he isn't domineering; he's made a good Beta in the past, but has no interest in being an Alpha. He's quiet and reserved around those he doesn't know, but once the ice is broken, he relaxes quickly; he loves to listen, talk, play, and cuddle. He's quick to make friends, but slow to trust, and he is fiercely loyal to those who have become his family.
