Shausha
Rowdy • Peculiar • Dark

The wild cares nothing for the laws of man.

Description
Zith, Female, 13 years

Appearance:

Body: Shausha has dark purple fur and long black dreadlocks that are kept tied back in a big knot that hangs down between her wing joints. She sticks things she finds and develops a liking for in this knot (currently in her hair: Wind Eagle feather*). She is around 4'9'' tall and slightly curvy.

Racial: She is nocturnal and can see perfectly well in the dark. While it is possible for her to function during the daylight hours, it's very difficult and unwanted. She has claws on her fingers and toes and fangs on her upper and lower rows of teeth. Her hearing is beyond excellent. "It has been said that at night, it is impossible to hide from a Zith as they can hear your heart beat."* The Valterrian also blessed the Zith with an enhanced sense of smell.

Face: Her face is almost perfectly symmetrical which gives it an eerie, mask-like look when she holds still. Two very prominent and angular eyebrows arch angrily across her face. Shausha's eyes are a typical dark color and, being mostly pupil, hide much of the white except for the corners of the eyes.

Clothing: When it comes to clothing, Shausha would rather be naked than wear a human shirt or something with a back. She has no qualms with pants or boots, but her instincts tell her to always prepared for flight, so constrictive clothing pisses her off. If Shausha must wear clothes, she wears a strappy leather harness that zig-zags across her body allowing minimum modesty and maximum wing movement. It has tiny pockets and metal rings along the straps to allow a small amount of things to be taken with her during flight. In her down time or when alone, she is most likely naked.

Wings: Her Zith wings are a gradient of her purple fur which starts near the base of the wings and fades into a jet black mid-wing. They arc and dip in sharp curves along the bottom and end in pointy protrusions. The highest peaks of her wings have small, sharp points as well. While she couldn't care less about her appearance, Shausha is very protective of her wings.

Character Concept

(Get to know Shausha)

What separates a human from an animal?
Moreover, what advantage do humans have over a beast in the wild?
Sentience?
Now, what if an animal were given sentience?
What advantage would the human then have?

Personality: Very young and quick to act, Shausha is quite immature. Her views on life are simplistic and borderline hedonistic. Her playful nature can be seen as violent to people who are not used to a physical displays of emotion. She is very tactile and likes feeling and smelling new things, people and places. In these cases, she is oblivious personal boundaries which often causes her to stick out or get into trouble.

Inner Struggle: With her recent decision to travel, her curiosity is now being met with the challenge of broadening her mind in an intellectual sense. Her struggle to balance her curious nature and feral instinct will certainly prove if she's capable of being the best of both worlds or reverting to her primal state. When fighting, her sentience and feral nature are constantly wrestling for control. Her wild, bestial side provides an edge in combat, but should it take completely over, she ceases to think tactically.

Morality: Shausha is NOT evil. I'd like to say she's outside of morality in most cases. Lolz. Surely, you would not accuse a lion of murder after it killed a zebra. However, since she does have a human side, she is capable of sinning. As she fluctuates between her feral and human side, she fluctuates between being ruled by the laws of nature (eat or be eaten) and the laws of man (right and wrong).

Name Origin: Shausha named herself after the sound of Zith wings unfurling. This was due to her particular respect she has for her own pair of strong, black wings. Guaranteed, if she passes something reflective, Shausha will stop to preen her wings until satisfied or sunrise. Whichever comes first.

Diet: While she does enjoy the taste of human flesh that all Zith are born with, she has developed a dislike for its texture and prefers to chew on the bones or opt for the stringy muscles of wild game instead. While she spent several seasons with the Symenestra, she acquired a taste for fruits.

Shout out to all my lost boys. We rowdy.
