Personality: Kalina is a free-spirited girl, as expected from a Taguel. In her humanoid form, Kalina is soft-spoken but not quite shy. She is respectful of other people’s space and typically prefers being the one approached versus doing the approaching. Kalina prefers to observe then interact, which is why she may come off as shy at times. Her calm demeanor tends to affect the atmosphere , and she is certainly someone who withholds judgments. 
Biography: Kalina doesn’t know much about her family or her past. She never knew her father as he had disappeared before her mother even realized she was with child. Kalina was raised by a nomadic people in the snowy terrain of Regna Ferox, which certainly aided in hiding her unique abilities. The first time she shifted, she was very young, around seven-years of age. She had been out by the frozen river, scouting out for game and scrounging for roots, when a strange dizziness started to take over her. Her vision began to cave in on itself and when Kalina woke, what she found out was a day later, she was covered in blood. The look of fear when she went back to her mother scared Kalina, and her mother quickly whisked her away and washed her up. It was then that her mother explained to Kalina what she was; it was then that Kalina learned what her father was. They hid Kalina’s “condition” from the rest of the tribe, Kalina able to feel the shift about to happen and able to quietly sneak away. She never fully remembered what happened during her shifts, most of her memories in her beast form coming from her dreams she had in her humanoid. Or was it that while she dreamt, she was actually shifted? She never figured it out, but one night, when Kalina was sixteen years of age, a tribe member witnessed her transform on accident. Despite her mother’s tears and pleads, the tribe banished Kalina in hopes that she would die out on her own.
 Kalina dreamt for what seemed like months of vicious hunts and of a huge wall that she managed to get over, and when she woke she found herself in a warmer climate, surrounded by people that she didn’t know. Kalina learned that she was taken in by the Shepherds when she was found naked and unconscious out in the wilds. They took her in, explained who they were, and gave her the option of staying or leaving. She opted to stay, as she preferred companionship over loneliness, and when she found that she could trust the people she eventually shared her special abilities. They accepted her with no qualms, and for once Kalina felt like she belonged somewhere. 
Until they were raided. Until there were killings. Until she shifted and ripped off the heads and out the entrails of those who attacked. Until Kalina was lost, again.

Quirk: Part of Kalina’s essence remains in her beast form, however the animalistic nature reigns while shifted. 
Strengths: She is extremely stealthy as both a human and an animal, and her ability to remain calm in most situations in her humanoid form. 

Weaknesses: Kalina is a bit too trusting of people, which primarily comes from her ability to suspend judgments on people she meets. In her humanoid form, she is not very strong and has no skill in wielding weapons. In her beast form her armor are her teeth and claws—which means she’s rather open to attack in general. 

Likes: Meeting new people in general, deep conversations, and nature (particularly colder climates) 

Dislikes: Confinement and fire.

Romantic Interest: None at the moment
