Shade

Shade, real name being "Selene Mondlied", originating from the Lunari tribes, is leader of the Venusa Legion. Shrouded in mystery, she is a traveling merchant by the daylight and a master thief under the shadows of the night, spelunking into various dungeons looting treasures and slipping into major faction camps and snatching whatever she can.

Known to be calm and fairly crafty, but not the hardest worker by any stretch, preferring to laze around and sleep when she can.

Appearance
She is a wolfen humanoid with grey fur, black hair with blue highlights tied in a ponytail, blue eyes with blue facial markings underneath, and a big black tail with a blue tip at the end.

Her clothing consists of a grey coat with various pockets, a light grey undershirt, a blue gemstone necklace, a pair of forest green jeans with a few pouches attached, a pair of light brown hiking boots, with one of her arms covered in a blue bandage.

Personality
On the surface, Shade is a calm but lazy individual, she spends her days sleeping and relaxing, passing the time by telling small jokes and generally just having a laid back, sometimes lazy demeanor, she's also spotted sleeping pretty often,

She's also generally and adventurous figure who tries to learn about much of the lands. Often either reading books, looking at the night sky, or looting treasures and learning their secrets, given her origins with the Lunari tribes, she's got a significant interest in various sciences.

She's not a particularly social figure though, outside of the Venusa Legion, often keeping to herself or just trying to make things quick, she especially doesn't enjoy people prodding into her past, one of the lone exceptions to that being Nuri, for various reasons. Underneath the surface, it's a different story, given some past experiences she's pretty lost, wrought with emotional illness, often times not feeling much of anything, she's often very good at hiding this though some like Nuri know what's really going on. She can be apathetic and fatalistic deep down, often not being sure what to do. It's generally thought that

Before her encounter with Kira, she was far more lively

Abilities
Shade lacks any form of energy manipulation such as magic or anything similarly exotic, but she makes up for that by being fairly skilled. She's not particularly powerful and she's hardly durable, but like many thieves, she's swift and knows how to be sneaky.

Her weapon of choice is the Moonbeam Bow, a long compound bow, alongside this is a small knife. She doesn't care much for direct fighting and usually prefers the more underhanded approaches, such as attacking from range or sneaking up on an enemy, she favors bows over the guns used by groups like Petroska specifically for this reason.

She's known to be a bit of a tinkerer, taking various bits of material and junk and making makeshift technology out of them, the small hydropower found in Wino I Kawa and parts of Callisto coming from her

This also factors into her main skillset, being a thief, she's known to use whatever outside the box technique she can to open doors and chests, and that's if she doesn't use a specific tool like a dedicated lockpick or one of her knives to do the job.

Backstory
Originally a thief hailing from the Lunari tribes, living in the small village of Hermlan, traveling all over Tanzanite looting treasures, sometimes to gain knowledge about the lands and how the world is, other times looting powerful factions like Petroska, the Guild of Nor, or the troublesome Draknovi faction.

She would eventually try looting an out of the way cave in the Zaon Canyons known as Onyx Cove, a strange sickly cave filled with Blood Slugs and Crimson Crystals, within she would encounter a demon, the sadistic lamia known as Kira Watson, who ended up capturing her, subjecting the poor Wolfen to her own twisted brand of "fun", notably breaking her soul apart bit by bit, which also resulted in the creation of Abby

After everything that had happened, she was left to wander the forests of Chrysoberyl, listless and hollow, which continued for days until she encountered the forest nymph Nuri, who saw the poor wolfen all alone, clearly shaken up, she took her with her and they looked after each other ever since.
