Kurama being both of those qualities at once, but one side can sometimes beat the other maybe? Confusing. And yeah according to the wiki Yoko could have left ten years after Shuichi was born but was fond of his mother so he stuck around. 

Yeah but to be fair they said they weren't an advanced writer. They also don't communicate very much so that's a big downside to it all :C trying to make conversation but they just don't wanna talk back very much. Aww <3 thaaaanks, I'm trying >.< super haaaard. Thanks for the support.

If I can write Kurama I could probably write Shikamaru, but that's yet to be seen. We'll see if I can keep up the momentum. Let me know if Kurama's too good, but then again that may just be the character ^^
