[hider=Sha'yirr]Name: Sha'yirr
Alias/Nicknames: Her brother calls her Sha-sha, but outside the family, none really. :P
Race: Chimera cat - Underdark subspecies. Build is something between a saber-toothed cave lion and a snow leopard. Extra thick coat, mostly white with leopard markings in faint blue-gray. The two goat-like horns on the crown of the head are rather small for this subspecies, even more so in females. Digits on front paws are dexterous enough to be used like raccoon hands while the ankles on the rear legs are easily twistable to aid in climbing tough terrain. Tail is thickly furred and nearly doubles the length of this cat. Eyes are something between light blue and purple with keen infrared dark vision afforded to most apex preditors living in the dark bowels of the Everdark. Unlike aboveground variations of the Chimera cat, this one's large claws do actually retract. Also, like the snow leopard, the pads of the feet are densely furred for added silencing of foot steps and aid in crossing drifts of pillowy sediments other creatures might sink in. While this species is sentient and can speak, its wild form is a constant. Also unlike above-ground chimera cats, this one lacks the venomous barb in the tail tip. It is, however, still toxic for most creatures to consume. 

This concept art is of a male of the species. Sha'yirr has short nub horns and is slightly leaner in build.

Gender: ♂ or ♀. Female
Background: Sha'yirr is the younger of only two cubs surviving to adulthood in her mother's short life. Her mother trained her well in their mother-to-child herbalist druidry culture. In lean times, she occasionally trades remedies for food with the few Everdark folks she trusts. Otherwise, she has followed her mother's example in leading a highly secluded life for the most part. Her elder brother, Caerntak, lives closer to the surface, but occasionally makes the trek down to check on her and swap information on events and sightings of note in the Everdark. He was the one who sent warning to her of the party of outsiders, instructing her to hide until the immediate danger had passed. He has since trekked to the the surface on a fated journey of his own, leaving her to fend for herself in the aftermath of the raid. 

Personality: Highly wary of others and normally anti-social, she is one of few words. Though, even when she does speak, she does so as one 
 dealing with a bit of a language barrier as her kind are normally rarely ever seen by others. While she is willing to trade her herbal remedies with others that have earned her trust and respect, she abhors mind games and will normally drop all association with an individual who dares to strait out lie to her. She respects those with skill in hunting and defense.

Non-Combat Skill: Advanced Climber

Possessions: Has a shoulder tote made by a dark dwarf that holds ready-use medicines for use or trade. She normally stows it with her tools in her hidden den or in other stash spots when out actively hunting.
