Personality: Shava hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate her. It was this clingy personality that held back her music career. Further she is a bit of a stoner and is frequently out of it.

History: Born in the south to a Cook, Shava learned a great deal about her mother's area of expertise. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Shava took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up whip and armor she uses now. She bought a whip and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.
