Shale is a relatively large gourom, boasting muscular shoulders and big paws perfect for digging. Her chest is deep and wide, tucking up in a gentle slope into her belly. All in all Shale's body is athletic and strong, practical on the hunt but lacking any hunt of the feminine softness usual to a female. Shale doesn't expressly hate this roughly hewn form, but she often wishes she were prettier.

The gourom boasts a coat which mimics the minerals she spent so much of her life around. The base color of her fur is a simple pale tan, nearly white. It is marked with great swatches of darker brown, which eats up her head, neck, and rear with its varying chocolate tones. The darkest of the browns house patches of vibrant blues that sit striking against their background. These colors are further accented by the malachite-like swirls of green that mark her claws, nose, paw pads and eyes where the mineral has begun eating away at her.

Shale has slowly forgotten what she looks like, mostly only remembering that her form was masculine and hard like rocks. To remedy this, she often dresses her thick fur with flowers. Her expressions are often equally as sweet as her adornments, the gourom's round face usually marked with a soft smile.

Mutations
Extrasensory :: When she was younger Shale developed superior senses to deal with the darkness of tunnels, and the skill has only developed since her eyesight has gone entirely. Though she can't pick up on things like color, her hearing and earth skill allows her to map the area with relative accuracy.

Heat Sensing :: Supplementing her extrasensory mutation, Shale has the usual gourom heat sensing organs. It further aids her ability to map out the world around her and navigate it.

Elemental Mutation :: Growing rocks was a common mutation in Shale's original pack, but since coming to Sverige the affliction has far worsened. The small crystals on the back of her neck have spiked higher, malachite eating up her claws, paw pads, and even her eyes. The mutation is working its way over her nose now, but hasn't disabled it yet.

Replacement :: The rocks that eat away at Shale have slowly started to penetrate her teeth, and are likely to riddle deeper into her bones with time.

Bloom :: In an effort to make herself feel prettier (For what's pretty about being covered in rocks?) Shale decorates herself with blossoms she's found and tried to keep alive with earth magic.
Personality
  • Likes: Rabbit meat, the scent of flowers, being called cute.
  • Dislikes: Wolves who are aggressive without reason, thick snow, thieves.
  • Strengths: Powerful body, slow to give up, strong senses.
  • Weaknesses: Sensitive, trusting, horrendous vision.
  • Fears: Being seen as male, scaled zephyrs.
Alignment Light
Shale is a gentle soul, born tender hearted in a cruel world. Even after the hardships she has faced in her life she tends to default to trusting the strangers she meets, actively chosen to give others the benefit of the doubt. In much the same vein she is eager to help those in need simply because it is the right thing to do. Her general rule of thumb is to treat anyone she meets as a friend until they give her reason to do otherwise.

In situations where it is required to be aggressive however, the gourom is quick to shift into a roaring beast. She has no intention of letting herself be killed and has little love for those that build their lives through injuring their own kind. The world is already hard enough to live in, so there's no reason to make it any harder.

As far as personal life goes the gourom has never had it easy exactly. Born male, Shale struggles with reconciling her inward self with her outward one. She knows in her heart that she is a she-wolf, but her body never really seemed to get the memo. It's not in her to curse fate or her own bones, but the mismatch is a driving force in her life and she often wishes things had worked out a bit easier.

Shale's main reason for coming to Sverige was that she has heard whispers of a place in the north where the magic smog changes bodies even more potently than the smog in the countryside. Though the risk was great is was hope that drove her north, and she is still hopeful now. Though Shale is blind, middle aged, and transgender she interprets the world with a hopeful heart, and dreams of the day she'll have the life she's always wanted.

Her secret dream is to be a mother.

Born in a large gourom warren (For the pack lived like rabbits in the countryside, burrowing beneath the earth and multiplying immensely on love and tubers) Shale was the eldest son of a respected hunter and his pretty digger wife. The family was mostly male and only became more-so when Shale's mother was snatched up by a scaled zephyr during a rare trip to the surface. Shale herself worked hard to impress Obsidian, but often spent most of her time looking after her younger sister Garnet. Obsidian had already began to sense that his eldest son was a little different from the others, but was tolerant of Shale's femininity. It did not interfere with the cub's duties, so it was not a problem yet.

As Shale grew older however she became more aware of the feeling that something was not right. She loved females, as was expected. She cultivated the tubers, as was expected. She even hunted well above the surface, as was more than expected of their shy people. But something was not right. It was not Shale herself but rather Garnet who finally realized what the problem was, but the gourom would not hear her sister's gentle words. A falling out separated the once-inseparable pair for some time, Shale furious at Garnet for even bringing up such a thing.

It was the rise and fall of Shale's first experience with love that would eventually mend the break with her sister. Though Shale still lusted after she-wolves, as was expected, her first real love was a male. There was a certain thrill to sneaking around, hiding the affair from their fathers, to being the delicate one. It ended as swiftly and passionately as it had begun, as young love often does, but Shale came out the other side finally understanding herself. The epiphany restored her relationship with her sister and perhaps even more startlingly strengthened Shale's bond with her father. The boys did not understand exactly, but accepted their new sister and daughter with far less aggression than Shale had ever expected.

The pack's attitudes on the manner were mixed, but with her family's support Shale was - for a time - happy. It was only when all her siblings, even sweet little garnet, had settled down to start their own families that discontent nibbled at Shale's heart. Where was her mate? Where were her cubs? The pack was small, and all the other males remembered Shale as the proud dog rather than the kind hearted female she wanted them to see. She could have no pups even if they did not, for her body had other plans.

Some time was wasted on pining until eventually word reached the pack of a land to the north of their where the choking smog was strong. At this point wolves had been settling the stone forest for nearly nine months, and so word had finally begun to travel south a bit. Word was that many strange creatures lived there, and the thickness of the cloistering smog was so mighty it would change one's body in unimaginable ways. The idea of the place gummed itself up thickly in Shale's mind, until one day she had worked it into such a place of bounty and hope that she could not bear to stay away any longer. Bidding her beloved family goodbye, the gourom set out to find her fate. To build her own family or die trying.

It has been a few months now since Shale has arrived in Stockholm, and as yet no great miracle has befallen her as she hoped. Instead the smog has only turned her mutations into handicaps, leaving the gourom eager for some kind of divine intervention to help her on her journey.
