Ookami Charima, more commonly known as Charima by her pack, sat atop the gorge, emptiness below and in front of her. She'd never been afraid of heights or of voids, unlike a lot of wolf Shifters. More than anything, she enjoyed the silence that came with the gorge, with sitting there with her legs dangling, and with knowing that nobody would come to disturb her here. The gorge of Daviss was her haven of peace. But eventually, she had to leave.

Charima stood, wiping the dried dirt on her hands onto her leather pants. The black-haired girl gave the gorge of Daviss one last lingering look before heading back toward the forest that hid her village, her pack, and everything she knew.

On the path that lead home, she made a turn that lead her out of the forest. She had long since shifted into a black wolf, her bundle of clothes tied around a hind leg, and was now a monster of strength that rivalled most all wolf shifters she knew. In her own pack, the only Shifter that was bigger than her in wolf form was their Alpha, Shigan.

Now, though minutes ago she had been planning on heading home for the day, she was running full speed toward the Market, where merchants from all over the surrounding Shifter areas came to trade their goods and meet up. Charima had nobody to meet up with from other Clans, but she enjoyed watching other people live from afar, silently, as a ghost would.

Now, finally, she had reached the market. The first thing she noticed was the gigantic figure of a bear shifter, recognisable by the height, stature and facial hair, walking out of the Apothecary's shop. She knew him; knew his face, saw him around often, though she had never felt the need to talk to him. His height made him hard not to notice.

Charima shifted back into a human under the cover of the woods, pulled on her clothes, sat on a rock just outside the market town where all types of shifters gathered on a daily basis, pulled her legs against her chest, dropped her chin on her knees, closed her knees, and waited for nightfall – when she would go home again.
