Body Type: Shia is quite stout. She resembles a tiny baby bear and has quite a lot of fluff around her neck and face. Her tail is short along with her legs.

Scars: None
P E R S O N A L I T YPersonality type: ESFJ-A/ ESTJ-A
Affectionate - loving; warmhearted
Shia absolutely loves showing affection. She's always happy to cuddle with anyone and is definitely not afraid to give all of her puppy love. If anyone needs a shoulder to lean on or someone to cry with, Shia is happy to be by someone's side - she's known to be a sympathy crier. She's not known to tolerate bullying, especially since the One says that everyone has value!
Eloquent - well-spoken; meaningful
Despite being quite young, Shia has a way with words. She is known to try and understand more adult topics [like the current war going on between Aryn and Vektren] and isn't afraid to speak up and ask questions. She will often say things that would come from someone much older than her, but she does sometimes use a word in a wrong way, misunderstanding its meaning. She usually won't exaggerate stories when she tells them and is known to tell the truth.
Curious - eager to know; wants to learn
If you're willing to teach, Shia is willing and happy to learn. She will poke her nose into anything she can get into and knows no bounds. She will go great distances to learn things, even asking the same question to several wolves to get a broader or more focused answer. She sometimes pries a bit too much when asking about one's past and can be a bit of a pest if you don't like being asked "why?"
Assertive - confident; overwhelmingly brazen
Shia will often take control of a situation if she can. She's happy to lead her siblings on a mission, even if it's accidentally into trouble. She's not afraid to speak her mind, even in front of large crowds of adults. She's not afraid to take on a challenge and will not take defeat easily. She stubborn and has a strong drive to further herself through any means possible.
Unquestioning - naive; without doubt
If an adult says it is so, then it is so. Adults undoubtedly know more than her, and she accepts that, so she accepts their word without question. She will fall easily for any story and isn't too sharp at detecting lies. Sometimes sarcasm will also go in one ear and out the other. She also never questions Aryn's faith. The One has the ultimate word and no one is more right than the One.
Blunt - forthright; frank
Despite being well spoken, Shia has a tendency to be a bit blunt. She's not afraid to speak any thought that comes to mind and occasionally is accidentally known to hurt feelings by being a bit too frank. While she is compassionate she sometimes doesn't understand that one may just want to vent and may not want advice or opinions on the topic. She definitely doesn't tiptoe around topics and will sometimes ask things that may come off as rude or intrusive.
Petulant - childishly sulky; easily upset
If Shia realizes that someone is better at something than her naturally even though she has been working hard, she will often get upset. While she does understand that practice makes perfect, she is known to have bad days and will often give up if she sees she's not making enough progress. If its hard for her to understand something, or no one will give her a direct answer, she is known to get snappy.
Hidebound - unwilling to change, religious
Shia is absolutely consumed in learning more about the One and all of His wonders. She can't wait to learn the Song and become baptized once she becomes a juvenile. She will listen to stories about the the One and the beginning of wolves for hours on end. She doesn't understand those who don't believe in the One, and while she still respects them because they are of the One, she believes that they are misguided.
- Note that Shia is very young. She is easily influenced and her personality will likely change as she grows -
Likes: The One, hugs/ cuddling, insects, playing in snow
Dislikes: The Deceiver, heights, failing, thunder storms [she became scared of them when she realized her dad was too]

Pup Life:
Hani and Lawson had been long time friends, growing and beginning to care more and more for each other over countless seasons. Just after the first snow, during the Days of Rejoicing, the two became officially wed in Aryn. It didn't take long for the two of them to become expecting parents. Seava, Shia, ???, and Yama were born to the two of them, and it didn't take long for Shia to come out of her shell and grab onto a rather strong personality. While she was quite loving towards everyone around her, she wasn't afraid to use her voice and was always asking questions, specifically about the One. Who was He? Where was He? What was this Song that everyone spoke of? Many were happy to answer her questions, and there was nothing she enjoyed more than curling up with her family and listening to the never ending supply of stories from her parents and the pack elders. It didn't take long for her to become enraptured in Aryn's thick culture and religion, happy to learn all about it and follow in the footsteps of her ancestors. She often asks when she will be able to be baptized and even attempts to count down the days.
Being born in the winter, it didn't take long for Shia to begin to love the snow. Its plush, cushioned texture made her paws tingle and there was nothing better than making a snow tunnel to crawl into as a secret cave! Despite all of this fun and learning, Shia also heard whisperings of their Vektren enemies. She would sometimes ask questions, wanting to know the honest truth about these wolves, supposedly ensnared by the Deceiver's lies. She suggested that all they needed to do was introduce these Vektrenis to the One! After all, He was so bright and wonderful, who wouldn't love Him? Unfortunately, this war was not that simple. Still, the young pup holds hope that perhaps one day Vektren will understand the ways of the One and will be able to learn his Song, just as she will.
