Shadowstrike
Race; Zith
Gender; female
Age; 18
Birthday; 1st day of Autumn, 18 years ago
Birthplace; Xy
Appearance. I, Shadowstrike is covered in midnight black fur which is thicker than other Zith’s fur, making it more noticeable, and like most Zith my fur is longer at my knees and elbows. Gold eyes, ebony coloured hair long as my waist, uncontrollable, and sleek but curly at the end. Height is 5 ft. exactly with a weight of 55kg. Long claws, always sharpened for hunting, and razor fangs.
Character concept; I prefer animal meat over humans, although that does not mean that I do not take pleasure in killing them. I try to avoid killing the innocent, but if anyone insults or enrages me I will attack, and occasionally kill them. I have learned to repress these angers but only for some time and if I do not kill a human after several times of these repressions, well I... tend to go on a bit of a killing spree...frenzy. I have never liked the fact that I have to grow up with so many siblings, fighting to survive and exist, I am not a fan of having too many “friends,” also the fact that they may be a victim in these fits of rage, I prefer to have acquaintances. Fitting in with humans is not as hard as you might think, many people mistaken my folded up wings for a strange hooded cloak. Painting, and drawing are some of my strongest passions, including any other visual art form, and hunting, there is no prey that I want that shall escape me, whether it is from a distance or up close with my clawed fists. Because of my hunting skills, I tend to befriend predatory animals; including wolves, tigers and the occasionally predatory birds,my only friends and the only creatures that seem to acknowledge my existence besides Long-Rain, the slave, who has been more of a mother to me than a slave. Long-Rain has been more of a mother to me than, my well, mother.
Character History; The youngest in a Zith family of 31, I was always pushed to the back, ignored and fed the scraps of our feasts. Our family is more civilised than other Zith families, with a fair portion of slaves. I wouldn’t have made it this far if not the help of one slave- “Long-Rain”, who in her free time taught me the ways of painting and drawing, pass times which I quite took a liking to. When I was younger I used to hunt on my own, separated from the family to learn how to survive on my own as well as befriending the creatures of the forest, (when I was not feasting on them or using them to craft weapons and clothing). The human’s cities also became an interest to me, I observed the humans crafting and creating, and picked up parts of their language, and seeing what makes them tick and how easily they can into chaos. So now at the age of 18, I am sick of being pushed to the pack and journeying more towards the human’s civilisation’s where hopefully my talents can be appreciated and it is plentiful of hunting grounds.
