Personality
Shannon has a caustic sense of humor and a quick temper. She seems to despise everything, including other people, however, unfriendly though she may be, she is actually quite happy to be surrounded by others. What she actually hates above all else is herself, which she masks with a thick veneer of spite and bravado. She is incredibly superstitious.
Physical Description
Tall, somewhat muscular physique. Light tan skin and brown hair. Her arms and shoulders are spotted black. She has a hyena's tail and ears, claws instead of fingernails and toenails, and sharp canines. She has thick lips, and a prominent jaw. Her hair is thick and shoulder length, and her shoulders and upper back have a visible yet thin coating of hair. Wears a very basic outfit composed solely of a dark brown bandeau and a like-colored loincloth. Carries a short, rather primitive spear with a flint head and an oak shaft.
Pre-Game History
She doesn't like to talk about it. She was born into the Seere Clan in the Beastlands. Her father died before she was born, while her mother died in childbirth, and so she was raised by her aunt, a 1-sign Hyena in her own right. She grew up teased and mocked for her masculine looks, and started to internalize the scorn. At the age of 13, she had a nightmare in which a boy died. She would go on to describe this dream to an elder, and eventually came to laugh in an attempt to soothe her nerves. However, as she did, a boy died. Since then, she has believed herself to have the ability to predict death (whether or not she actually does have this ability, however, is up for debate.) After this incident, the derision turned to fear, and after another terrifying dream several months later featuring her being tied down and killed, she ran away from home. Since then, she has mostly drifted around the greater Beastlands area, with occasional excursions to Ilyamen, Mount Humontis, and Naurorod.
