And now it’s Shade’s turn.

Like the snow leopard she resembles, she has an extra long and extra fluffy tail. It’s also one of the only things on her that hasn’t been subject to mangling, oddly enough.

She’s small and skinny, factors that have lead people to underestimate her in the past. She’s quickly corrected their thinking. Fierce and wild, with a temperament that matches her Blood Legion sire and the grace and agility of her Ash mother, she serves the latter Legion with a fierce dedication.

Her arm was seared and her back flayed when she was taken hostage by Flame Legion, while hunting the traitorous members of her former warband. Her ears and neck were ripped up in a more recent battle, when the same lich that left Mharyk’s chest scarred nearly took her life.

She’s since recovered from that ordeal stronger, braver, and in some ways, colder. Though having had her twincubs recently, she’s managed to soften back up a bit and despite her inexperience she’s managed to be a fine mother.

I’ve had some trouble with her recently, having lost a lot of my drive to play her, but she’s still special to me, and I think I’m coming out of that funk. She’s been through too much for me to give up on her now.
