Amaryllis is big, for a shuno. Not the tallest, not the most intimidating - not that she would every try to be intimidating - but she is big. Though she is somewhat muscular beneath her bulk, it's primarily just fat. Her long tail and craning neck help distribute her weight a bit more evenly.
Notable Traits: The club at the end of her tail is smaller than that of a typical shuno's, and the spikes are more blunt.
Personality
Anyone that's encountered Amaryllis would know her to be a sweetheart. She has a rather kindly, cheerful disposition, and she's a kind soul, if a bit of a chatterbox when given the opportunity. She's the sort that would happily chat the day away with anyone who'd like to listen - even carnivores. When she isn't chatting, Amaryllis can often be found grazing, swimming, or simply having a lie-about and warming herself in the sun. It's not unusual to find her diving far beneath the water to find her preferred foods, though she does just enjoy nice a swim from time to time.
She can be a little forgetful from time to time, so please forgive her if she tries to speak to you about something you've already spoken about once already, or tell you a story you've heard once before.
History & Relations
Amaryllis has lead a very peaceful life. Though her guardian, Ophelia, was not the most attentive, she and her brother Locke had each other for company and that was enough for her. She grew up knowing the safety and comfort of a herd, but as she grew she began to wander further and further away, going on adventures with Locke. On one such a wander, she came upon Mandragora, a lost, spotted shuno, and decided at that moment that she'd adopt the litte shuno as her sister. Eventually, when Amaryllis grew old enough and , she stopped considering Ophelia's herd as her own herd, and struck out to find a life for herself.
Though she continues to wander, there is a cove that has caught her attention - a protected little area, sheltered from bad weather but open enough to stay warm and sunny, just as she likes it. She didn't expect it to already be occupied, but was delighted none the less to find a new friend in Seaglass, who was kind enough to share the space with her from time to time whenever she came by.
Though she has no territory to call her own, she's not bothered by her nomadic life. She's gotten to meet plenty of friends, try many new foods, and still every night when she lays down her head to rest, she has the comfort of seeing the same stars glittering overhead.
