General Information

Name: Sha

Gender: male
Species: cheetah

Personality

This is not going to be a great bio, I'm afraid, so let me apologize right now. It has been a long time since I have roleplayed, so I am a bit rusty.

To be perfectly honest, Sha is not particularly difficult to figure out. Like most cheetahs, he generally prefers solitude over company and has only a select few creatures he actually enjoys being around. Anyone who does not fall under that category, he will not hesitate to avoid or even completely ignore, even if spoken to. In this sense, Sha is wonderfully rude and reclusive.

When it comes to life on the Savanna, Sha revels in his solitude and freedom. His greatest joy comes from running down gazelles and basking in the tall grass. In many ways Sha is very prejudice against other species, which is one reason why he has so few friends (not that he cares or anything). Lions and leopards are especially disliked by him because of their brute strength and "high and mighty attitude towards other species", or so he says. Inversely, Sha gives animals every reason to dislike him as well, for his pride in a cheetah's speed can be exceedingly overbearing and, quite honestly, annoying. He technically refers to himself as a Pridelander, and he will generally follow the decrees passed down by the King and Queen (however much he dislikes lions). However, he really only calls himself a Pridelander because he'd rather not set foot in the Outlands, so his loyalty is tentative.

Appearance

Golden brown fur spotted with black stretches over a long, lanky figure. Sha's small, disproportionate head consists of small, rounded ears and a short muzzle. The well-known black streaks run between his golden brown eyes and down his muzzle. Like all cheetahs, Sha's body is built for running and can be used for nothing else. Hunting the way he does makes it impossible for Sha to have any extra body fat, and so he is exceedingly skinny, but proud of it. His long tail, curved spine, and hard paws are his pride and joy, carrying him across the ground faster than any other mammal in the Savanna.

History

At the young age of three years, Sha has not been through much that is worth noting. The youngest of three siblings, he was born to and raised by his mother Sai. They wandered the Savanna together, surviving off of Sai's kills, and eventually the three brothers learned to hunt and survive on their own. When they left their mother to fend for themselves, Sha's brothers Tar and Ran wanted to stick together for awhile. Sha, however, saw things differently, and he left his brothers together and went off on his own.

Sha wandered the Savanna alone. He was a poor hunter at first and rarely made a kill, and would have starved had it not been for ______. The young male cheetah insisted upon sharing his kill even when Sha refused. Eventually, Sha gave in, and he and ______ banded together for awhile. But after a few months Sha chose to go off on his own once more, and they parted ways. ______ was Sha's first, and perhaps only, friend besides his brothers, and perhaps the only creature who could take Sha's rudeness in stride and flash it right back at him.

Since parting with _______, Sha has been living alone. He is perfectly content with being alone, though sometimes he longs for the closeness he had felt with his brothers and with ______.

Wow...I'm really sorry about that bio guys. I promise to do better next time... The reason I did not name Sha's friend is because I hope to find someone to roleplay him, and I'd rather not make them have a certain name or anything. If that's not okay, I will be happy to change it.
