Name: Niyol (Navajo, meaning "wind")

Age: 12

Gender: male

Sexuality: heterosexual

Species: skinwalker

Appearance: he has a tanned skin tone and bright curious yellow-Amber eyes that seem to glow slightly in dim lighting. He stands at about 5'1" and has a lean physique but athletic-looking for his age. He normally wears tan buckskin pants and decoratively painted moccasins, given to him as a gift. He doesn't wear a shirt that often unless told to or in the cold seasons. Niyol constantly wears the skin of what appears to be a young Cougar (or Mountain Lion). He has dark free flowing hair that stops just above his waist. Niyol wears a thin rope with a small pouch sewn into the side to store important items. He also has four very sharp teeth, resembling canines, and pointed nails that seem to disappear when he isn't wearing the cougar skin.

Personality: shy, introverted, and skittish Niyol isn't much for adventuring out into the world in search of companions. Or in search of anything really. The only thing he longs for is a home and a family. But he has been chased away from so many homes that he fears he may never obtain such. He is wary and skeptical of strangers and fears any weapon he sees. If he thinks you are a threat or an enemy he will immediately dash away to safety with no second thoughts.
He is both childish and not at the same time, being a hard worker yet overly curious about everything.
He loves to learn more about his culture and history (that being of the Navajo) and has often snuck into museums to do so (though was always found out and all but tossed back outside).
Niyol is a more or less quiet individual, preferring to watch and learn rather than speak, and often mimics those he favors.

Abilities: able to shift into the form of any animal whose skin he wears.

Other: He has no true home and wanders around forests and deserts in search of anyone who will accept him.
He can be rather fast when the time calls for it, and has learned how to weave and dodge and climb to get away from those chasing him.
He was found at a young age by an elderly woman and lived with her for a while but she sadly passed on when he was eight and he ran from the officers trying to take him to an orange thinking they were there to harm him. He has lived alone in the wilderness ever since.
