Shifty gave the house to Master Leng, a 37 years old panda, the person who adopted Shifty after his 10th birthday. Master Leng keeps the house clean, and is almost always in the Mansions big garden, which is connected with the forest, meditating. Shifty told him many times he doesn't have to clean the house, but Leng tells him always the same: "My son, I'm in your fathers dept, he done something for me for I am more than thankful for my entire life. This is the only way I can thank him. And besides, this is the only place for you, which you can call a home." Master Leng is the person who taught Shifty the art of fighting with the hook swords.

Disliked people: None.


Friends: Shifty hasn't much friends, but the few he has, are very close to him.

Shifty first met a mysterious guy with the name Mr. J. A very happy and intelligent guy, you shouldn't judge him too serious from his name. Shifty is happy he can call him a afriend.

Then he met La Koda, a greyish brown wolf. She is very enthusiastic, and full of life. Shifty knows her since almost a year now, and their relationship was very mixed over the time. Right now they are close friends. Shifty is happy his melancholic attitude hasn't driven her away.

Right after Koda, a red fox, whit strange powers has walked to Shifty, and introduced himself. Shifty was first unsure, but he grow good friends with the fox, whos name is Erikku. Shifty doesn't knows much about this fox these days. They stopped talking months ago, without any real reason.

One day Shifty noticeda female bobcat, called Riikka. Riikka is a very strange being, at least that would think the big part of the world, but Shifty thinks she is something very special. One day, Shifty collected enough courage to go to her and just talk. First he felt very inferior to her, for she was so intelligent in his eyes, he first thought she would just ignore him, but right the opposite has happened. They are close friends now, at least Shifty feels close to her. As a friend, certanly.

Thank you very much, Molotov, glad you like the bio of my fursona. ^^ I truly tried my best, and looks like it pays off.
But is there anything you think i could improve? I mean, like adding him more weaknesses to make him more original, or something like that?
