Personality:
Anii-shiba (or "Shiba", as she prefers to be called) is the Schattarnek that everyone can rely on. In fact, she's mildly prescient about it. If a dragon is out hunting and is about to break a leg, Shiba suddenly gets the urge to go out for a walk or a quick flight, often finding the injured dragon within minutes of the incident of its injury. If a hatchling is going to have complications while emerging from its egg, she is there, careful paws clearing away the shell and mucus from the struggling youngling. She adores hatchlings, especially those that no one else seems to want or take care of.
She was deeply affected by the circumstances surrounding the death of one of her clutchmates several years ago, a broad-winged male named Hek-shest. He had been acutely depressed about the loss of their homeworld for many months, and both Shiba and Lakota had made near-heroic efforts to take his mind away from it and help him heal his emotional wounds. Shiba spent the vast majority of her time with him, talking with him and trying to guide him through his rough times, and consequently had no chances to have a family of her own, something she secretly wished for. After several weeks in which Hek-shest appeared to be getting better and getting over his depression, he climbed to the highest peak of Sitheil Tirean and leaped off. He kept his wings tightly folded to his body, and died instantly when he hit the ground. Shiba's prescience had failed her for the first time -- cataclysmically.
She was intelligent enough not to blame herself for her brother's death; he had made his choice long ago. Perhaps he had even had some mild abilities of her own -- strong enough to scramble her future-radar. However, it still affected her, and it was a long time before she stopped fearing the tingle in her fur which meant her prescience was about to kick in. Now, however, she is as cheerful and helpful as ever, with only the smallest of shadows on her heart. The shadow is, of course, in the shape of a broad-winged Schattarneki named Hek-shest.
