He is skinny and has little to no muscle on his body. He constantly looks like he hasn't had enough sleep as dark circles are usually under his eyes. He has ocean blue eyes and ebony black hair that reaches down to his shoulder though not many would tell as he always wears a hoodie. his body almost looks brittle and sickly without proper nourishment. [b]Personality[/b]:Shiba lives the life of an introvert. He rarely speaks and when he does it is only because nobody understands sign language nearby or he is without his note book. He has immense knowledge thanks to his almost obsessive compulsion to read anything he can get his hands on. He will read anything from magazines to complex physics books and everything in between. He is quick to shy away from loud places and people and acts more like a scared puppy when he is around new people or places. While his friends are few and far and between he helps with whatever knowledge he can as he feels he has no other redeeming quality. [b]Backstory[/b]:Shiba had been born in the slums and had been born to an unfortunate life. His father worked hard for the family and he was a good person but that was only until his mother died of cancer. She was the anchor holding the family together and luckily Shiba was born just before it took her. He was then blamed for making his mother so weak she died. His father then blamed him for her death and became a drinker. The only thing that made him feel safe was books. His mother loved to read and as such Shiba had a small library to himself. His big sister was the sweetest person he ever knew. Soon she was the one protecting him from his fathers drunken outbursts. He was to young to understand why he was blamed and he simply believed it. Had it not been for his sister telling him otherwise he may have killed himself. Shiba was smart and his sister got a job in order to help the family however when she left his father started to abuse him. He beat Shiba more times then he could count. However he started to hide from his sister as well so not to get her wrapped up in it. That didn't always work because she was hurt like him. At the age of 16 his sister reported abused and their father was imprisoned. They were then left under the care of Dr. Sakura and friend of their mother For a while things were looking up. However, tragedy struck when his sister died in an accident. His guardian Dr. Kugiki Sakura did everything she could using whatever medicines she could get her hands on but it simply wasn't enough. When she died Shiba kept to himself never leaving his solitude. However he was constantly sought out by people who needed help. He considered a "consultant" to many fields from medicine, to investigation, and even science and engineering. He poured over every bit of information so he simply had no courage to use the information himself.

[b]Shadow[/b]:Shibas shadow is a smaller and less threatening kind of Shadow that is screaming loudly but nobody ever answering him.

He would remind Shiba he had no worth and all his reading all the information he collected was nothing and meant nothing to anyone he ever met. His shadow is a skinnier version of himself albeit covered in scars from head to toe and only able to speak in ragged screams that nobody could ever hear.
