  Short description — A long haired chocolate smoke with golden eyes. / reference
  
  Physique — Hound is in height an average cat within ThunderClan's ranks. She has a broader build despite her insistent laziness, with broad shoulders and strong hind legs. Their chocolate smoke pelt is long and curly, she takes time to meticulously groom herself in an attempt to look busy. Due to this her fur is incredibly soft.
  
  She isn't bulky, her long and thick fur hides her potential as a strong warrior. Her frame is only viewed as delicate because of said fur, it's difficult to determine where the fur ends and where her body begins. Her eyes are a deep golden colour, they have a natural droop to them which gives her a tired appearance.
  
  scar/injuries▹ none present.

  demeanor — They have a resting face that can either be interpretated as a frown or a sneer depending on your attitude towards her. She often tries to carry a small smile when around others at camp but often forgets to hold it up. They try to present themself as uncaring and tired, often seen with a slouch, sluggish movements when in a non life threatening situation and often seen yawning and stretching.

  Houndshade is inherently reserved and judgmental. She says few words but opts to have them count. More often than not they form strong opinions of others and that formulates her interactions going forward. She speaks her mind if asked, otherwise she dances around words. Using backhanded compliments or passive aggressive quips to highlight how she feels.
  
  She presents herself as lazy and unassuming. Refusing to do more than the bare minimum in public, in private she's extremely dedicated and often times the majority of her training is under the cover of stars when most of the clan is asleep. She hates the idea of having high expectations placed on them and prefers to be underestimated by those around her.
  
  She holds respect for Howlingstar but aside from that has a general displeasure towards authority in the clan. She will listen to them but she has a general dislike for those who they deem as trying too hard. Houndshade doesn't agree with the idea of burning yourself out for your clan and generally looks down on others that do.

  
  Other traits — Has a large ego, will excuse away criticism, More than happy to criticise others.
