Every legendary story seems to have at least one charming and optimistic character. If that's the case, then it only makes sense that Shay'lra has decided to be that person. After all, if everyone is too busy whining and groaning about the negatives, how will anyone ever reach the positive? True, Shay'lra's constant belief that things will get better can be terribly grating, especially to pessimists or those just level-headed enough to realize when things truly are going downhill, but Shay'lra's constant positive outlook can serve to sometimes spur others to action when it feels like the world just wants them to lay down and die.

Shay'lra never really learned the definition of true consequence. She has “thieved” and tricked her way into the hearts of strangers, friends, and family but has never dealt with nor experienced a heavy sense of responsibility for those actions. This makes Shay'lra a very carefree soul, but he isn’t one for serious conversations or threats.

Shay'lra is very cheerful and happy, and always looks on the bright side of life. When chewing on life’s gristle, she doesn't grumble, but gives a whistle. She always hopes for the best, and enjoys laughing, smiling, dancing or singing. This unending optimism often improves the morale and spirit of everyone around her, and Shay'lra is always quick with a smile or a joke, even when drawing her terminal breath. This same exuberance can also be tiring to more jaded curmudgeons.

Shay'lra is mesmerized by anything shiny and can easily spot shiny objects from a distance. This makes her good at finding things of importance or value, but she may also be distracted by pretty baubles.

Born with an intractable will and limitless courage, Shay'lra will stand in the face of insurmountable odds and never retreat. Despite the fact that such acts of heedless bravery are inspiring and will sometimes result in victories worthy of song, just as often they result in her allies getting wounded or killed.

Shay'lra possesses a single minded drive for victory, and a deep-seated martyr complex. When presented with a chance to wade into battle versus overwhelming odds, Shay'lra does not hesitate, and instead rushes in, relying on skill, fate or chance to let her survive.
