Shade's Normal Cat Form Personality

6. Baiting Behavior: Shade loves teasing other animals, especially dogs. He’ll provoke them with a flick of his tail or a daring dash across their path, always staying just out of reach.

7. Quiet but Unsettling Presence: He rarely meows unless absolutely necessary, preferring to communicate through soft purrs or unsettling, prolonged stares. His quiet nature makes him feel otherworldly, even in his normal form.
