Gender: Female

Age: 19

Element: Water

Animal: Bull Shark

Height for Human and Animal Counterpart: 5ft for human, 1ft for shark.

Description of Appearance (eye color, hair color, posture, general appearance, etc) for Human and Animal Counterpart: In her human form, Spirit has jet-black hair and blue eyes. She slouches slightly both when standing and sitting. Spirit looks emo and wears a black T-shirt and black jeans. She is also quite stocky in build. In her shark form, Spirit's body is very stocky. Her back is grey and her underside is white. Spirit's fins are black-tipped and she has two dorsal fins, the second one is smaller and closer to Spirit's tail. Her eyes are small, black and beady.

History: Spirit was born raised in a family of shifters, all of whom transform into sharks. Her parents both transform into bull sharks but the rest of them are different species, depending on where they came from and their personality. Spirit and her family lived on the coast near a small town. The townsfolk knew about Spirit and her her family and they call the shifters "the shark-people". Spirit learned the ways of the shapeshifter but she didn't experience her first shift until she was 12 when she hit puberty. Her family was there to help her. Spirit and and her family always tried to keep away from the town as they were feared by the townsfolk. This wasn't easy to do because some of the children of the town were curious. The townsfolk fear Spirit and her family because of their unpedictable nature. Just before Spirit left home at 18, she learned to shift into her half-form, which gave her shark teeth and a dorsal fin.

Education: Educated by family.

Occupation: None.

Political Affiliation: None, does not care about politics.

Current Home: None, nomadic

Description of Personality: Like her shark counterpart, Spirit is very unpredictable and may become aggressive without warning. She is a loner, although she can be friendly if she feels like it. The things that annoy Spirit the most are people who try to dominate her and people who get in her face. She will shift into her half-form and unleash her fury on these types of people.

Personal Premise/Ambition/Motto: I won't bend to your will no matter how hard you try to make me.

Ooh! A shark shifter! That's really cool. You are ACCEPTED and can start RPing whenever. ;D Um...did you check out the "New Member Prizes"? And did you want one? I ask because one is adding a special ability to your character. (And prizes are always cool anyway. lol.)

Update!

Spirit has the unique ability to bite through hard materials, from wood (ick, splinters!) to iron. Steel is a bit of a challenge, but she can manage that one too (although she has to watch out for being cut by the sharp edges metal leaves when it's bitten through). Weapons are also dangerous--she may be able to bite through them (with some difficulty), but she's apt to get her mouth cut first before she works through the steel. She can't crush through hard gems (anything from emeralds to diamonds), although soft rocks are no problem (sandstone, obsidian).
