Fursona
Shiva's fursona is a chakat. She stands at 6"1', and weighs over 600lbs. Her fur coloring is that of a white tiger, save for black socks, solid black ears, and a solid black tail. Shiva has blue eyes, a pink nosepad, and black-and-white headfur.

History
Originally from Massachusetts, Shiva moved to New Hampshire for later grade school and an aborted try at college. She then spent a few years in Indiana. In 2000, she migrated to Dallas, Texas, to take advantage of the tech support boom just before the Dot-com bubble burst. (She manage to live through that with her job intact.)

In 2004, Shiva moved to Australia for a few years, then back to Dallas.
