Personality: On the whole, Sashna'kyanar is an extremely laid-back, accepting, and friendly sort: his motto is "Live and let live." He'll chat with whoever crosses his path wanting to chat, share silence with whoever gets tired of his chatting, run with anyone crossing his path who wants to run, share his favorite grazing patch with a hungry passer-by, anything at all. Though you might have to actually tell him what you want out of him, as his powers of observation are not always keen, he'll take no offense at being told to shut up. He has no temper to speak of, and an eternally optimistic outlook on life.

However, Sashna is a little lacking in common sense, and tends to miss obvious signs that he's barking up the wrong tree. Add to that his bull-headed optimism and optimistic bull-headedness, and he'll even ignore people telling him he's only going to make a fool of himself if he keeps doing what he's doing, if he's determined to do it. This can, at times, get him into a lot of trouble.

History: For the past several years, Sashna'kyanar lived alone in a mountainous forest, wandering around, fending for himself, occasionally leaving to visit a town or friends in a soala down the mountainside. He isn't soala-less because he wants to be, necessarily, but rather because, when he was younger, he was exiled from his own soala for being both unnatural and a trouble-maker. He doesn't talk about it much, but he will admit that a beautiful, proud sa'krien mare and her aggressive, offended sa'krien stallion had something to do with it.

Since then, he'd shared the enkeyn Fedalamar's territory. They didn't get in each other's way-- Fedalamar hunted animals, chased away predators, and ate stone, while Sashna grazed, chased butterflies and came to chat now and then-- and things went well. Before long, however, the beautiful stretch of mountains was discovered by the Sharians, mapped and disrupted by their explorers, and finally colonized. Because he wasn't an Air samanayr and furred well enough to move higher into the mountains-- and because he was, after all, a social animal-- Sashna decided to join society as well as he could.

Trying to join Sharian society was harder than it looked for a four-foot like him, though, so when Fedalamar announced he was leaving for the enkeyn-sharian settlement of Kenist Miana, Sashna requested to come along. Surprised but grateful for a familiar face in a strange place, Fedalamar agreed, and the two have made an attempt to live there for the past year. Sashna is happy enough with the widely mixed group of people, even though he's a little restless at having such a small "territory" to wander, and Fedalamar has yet to settle in comfortably.
