*Description: To look at Shuraala, one could easily mistake her for just another furry or anthropomorphic fox. The looks of the girl are distinctly vulpine in most ways, at least as far as her face goes. She has a slim and pointed muzzle with a leathery nose and black marks on either side of it where her whiskers end, and her eyes are slanted towards it, a seagreen color with strange arrow marks in the iris nearest the outside corner. Purple hair, highlighted with light blue streaks, hangs in her face but is cut short and spikey in the back. A long, thin braid trails from the nape of her neck all the way to her knees. From beneath her hair curve two swept-back black horns and two tufted vulpine ears. Those are the last of her similarities to a fox.

Other than her face, Shuraala shows traits that are mostly draconic or humanoid; she walks upright on two long, digitigrade legs supported by flat, clawed feet like a dragon's. Each foot has four toes each. On her hands she also has four digits--three normal fingers and an opposable thumb, all tipped in sharp but short claws. From her shoulderblades rise two-tined leathery wings, like those of a gargoyle, matching her long, draconic tail that ends in a thick tuft of fur. Save for her hair, Aala is dark grey all over only offset by the teal of her markings. The tip of her tail, her legs up to her knees, her arms up to her elbows, muzzle save for the bridge, eyelids, and tips of her ears are all a dark blue-teal.

Even though she has fur of a decent length and thickness, Shuraala still deems to wear clothing that doesn't show much of her body. A long tunic or almost mandarin style top is the most obvious of her wardrobe, it's black in color and clasps from the bottom hem all the way up her body and the high collar with golden frog closures. The sleeves come to her elbows and do not fan, rather staying close to her fur. Beneath this is simple, tightly fitting dark blue shorts that come to her digitigrade knees. Both of Aala's ears are pierced multiple times, but usually only bear golden hoops that match the bangles on each lower leg, on her tail, and on one forearm. Around her neck is a ruby pendant on a gold chain, circular in shape and bearing a black mark of some sort in the center.

When it comes to weapons Shuraala relies largely on her own fangs and claws or magic; but when she does need something longer she actually finds a glaive spear to come in handy. It's of a fairly simple design with a two-pronged head, mahogany pole, and tie bindings bearing phoenix feathers.

Shuraala does have the ability to shift to a human form--possibly other forms, as well. When she is in this form she's a few inches shorter and rather young-looking with large seagreen eyes that match her normal form's. In this form, though, her hair is black with the same streaks. Her face is round and a bit girlish, almost asian in origin. She's also been known to don kneehigh strappy boots and a trenchcoat in this form, just to fit in more. Or so she says.

*Personality: Most people would consider Shuraala to be a confusing disposition. She can be quite mature, honest, and hardworking; or she can be the entire opposite. Under stressful situations she is cool-headed, more of a deadly calm than anything reassuring. The Desi'pvar has no qualms about ripping off the head of--or biting off the face of--any really 'evil opponentl. In fact violent bloodshed just makes some of her magics work all that better. Shuraala has an immense amount of patience, able to endure the hunt or suspense for a time that would drive most people insane; though that could be because she's a create from the second most inner part of the Sphere.

When battle is not prevalent, Shuraala is almost the exact opposite of the bloodthirsty killer that may appear. She's easy-going though not exactly light-hearted, and loves a good joke, likely even of a perverse nature. Blushes and girlish giggles have no place with this woman, she can do most anything a male can--or so she feels. That includes partying, and proving just how much she can drink when it comes down to it. Surprisingly, though, Aala is not a slut--the only man she's actually slept with is her ex-boyfriend but still friend, the Rak'Shasa Sean.

At times, though, Shuraala does wonder if her lifestyle really is the wisest path. Perhaps it's something her parents, whoever they were, told her when she was young. The Desi'pvar feels she should set a better example of herself, though for who no one knows. It's quite possible sometime she'll settle down and become a sweet and caring parent or some such nonsense. Just don't expect it in the near future.
