Personality : Adsila is curious to the point of distraction she often wanders off from her village, searching for shells and stones, which sometimes leaves her in danger since she is still so young. Her shyness makes her a poor diplomat, she would rather hide behind someone else than place herself as the leader. Adsila has no desire to rise higher in the tribe, she only wishes to explore and discover new things. Even when in a tough spot, Adsila is usually able to thing of some idea, to get herself out of whatever mess she has landed herself in. She is rather introvert and thinks deeply about things before she acts.

Personal history
Adie was born in the settlement of Ast, to a small family, her mother, father and her older brother. Adie loves exploring the forest at night even though her family fusses and worries over her adventuring by herself. She loves nothing better than exploring her land sneaking around collecting things. She collects shells and rocks and anything else that catches her eye.
Race history
The Shifters comprise a small, rudimentary tribe dwelling in the heart of Tendaji’s rainforest. Like other Earthlings, they stand at about four feet, on average. They possess long, rounded ears and their slim bodies are speckled with blue crystals. The length and style of their hair is dependent primarily upon their trade and rank within the tribe.
This race’s most distinguishing trait lies within their skin and eyes. Both features change from light to dark with the rising of the sun, and back to light in the evening, to match the silvery shades of the moon.
Personality-wise, they are across the board, although each individual’s disposition tends to coordinate with whether they are more nocturnal or diurnal. Their temperament, thus, greatly contributes to the form in which they are most commonly seen. (Those who prefer the night will have silver skin in their art and those who prefer the day will have dark skin in their art).
The Shifer Tribe shares Jauhar, their rain forest home, with the Alkidikes. Because of the war-like nature of their opposing female rivals, however, they tend to do what they can to stay out of the way and to remain unseen. They live predominantly in the upper canopy where food can be found in greater abundance, creating strange nests and hammock-like homes from the thousands of thick, dark green vines that twist between the trees. This diverse tribe prefers an elevated position where they can still observe the movements of the sun and moon.
Religion: The Shifters worship and revere the moon. Their true connection to the moon has been disputed for as long as anyone can remember. They do not call it their creator. All they know is that, when the moon comes out, their skin turns silver. Clearly, they must be connected in some way.
Government: The Shifters live within a pretty rudimentary, tribal system. They have Elders who may be called together in severe cases, where guidance is needed. However, most transgressions are left for family groups or individuals to work out. Those who possess higher ranks are expected to mentor and help the upcoming Younglings and Prentices. There is an understanding that everyone must work together, to some degree, for the betterment of the tribe and their survival.
