"I wish I had an intimidating appearance... Then maybe I wouldn't get messed with so often."
Appearance:
Sky has a very slight appearance. He stands at about 5'5". He is thin, almost abnormally so, with a slightly muscled chest. His legs are obviously the most powerful thing about him, long and lean with powerful looking muscles. In other words, Skyvy looks like a little weakling, though he also looks like he could outrun almost anyone. He has light brown hair, which is medium length and choppy, and brown eyes flecked with green. If anyone were to run their hands through his hair, they would notice the tiny little bumps that are situated close to his forehead - this a side effect of being a shapeshifter, since those bumps are actually tiny horns. They aren't sharp and they aren't noticeable unless touched. Skyvy is quite often found without clothes, at least outside the human City. Within the City walls, he wears very simple clothing, usually found without shoes when it's warm and wearing boots when its cold.
As a gazelle, he is light brown in coloring with long ears that are white with black streaks and long black horns. The top of his snout is brown with a horizontal black streak near his nose, while the sides of his snout are white with two black streaks going over his eyes. His chest is white. His tail is thin and short, tipped in black. All in all, Skyvy looks like any normal gazelle when he's shifted.

"Brave? Oh no no... You've really got the wrong person, Miss."
Personality:
Probably one of the best words to describe Skyvy? Coward. He isn't very brave at all, and any threats against him will make him cower in fear - he'll probably also tell you what you want to know, or at least make you think that he told you. Sky has been known to tell lies to his interrogators, making sure to flee before they realize that they have been lied to. He is also very jumpy and easily scared. Sky easily becomes nervous and will fidget, hopping from one foot to the other or tapping his fingers together. He's also very timid. And, considering how timid he is, Sky doesn't speak his mind very much and usually lets whatever happen happen, even if he doesn't like it. He doesn't like making anyone angry and will usually try to avoid doing that. He is easily embarrassed. Skyvy has never been accused of being a people person, considering how shy and timid he is.
"What's it like? Outside the City, I mean. Can you tell me? I'm always on the move, so I never get to explore."
History:
Skyvy was born on Shifter Island, where his parents raised him until he was four years old. At four, the little family moved to the human City. His father found work with the King of Thieves; his mother found work as a servant for King Quirinoh. And Skyvy learned to stay away from the humans as much as possible. They didn't much like him, and he was afraid of them.
When Sky was ten, his father was taken out by the King of Thieves for not paying his taxes. However, Skyvy himself doesn't know that. His mother decided to never tell him; she thought it would be too traumatizing for the boy. Without the extra money, though, times were hard. Sky's mother began to spend more time at the castle in order to afford food and other essential items for the two of them.
At age 13, Skyvy caught the attention of the King.
It was during one day when his mother had taken Skyvy with her to work. Of course the boy stayed in the servant quarters mostly, but at one point he wondered off in search of something. The boy ended up running into the King, who startled him and made him flee back several feet. He was fast, considering he was a gazelle shapeshifter, and the King had recently lost his last messenger do to some nasty circumstances. So, Skyvy became the new messenger for King Quirinoh.
He doesn't see his mother much anymore. She still works as a servant, but Sky is often away on some sort of business.
It wasn't until he was 16 or 17 that Skyvy realized he had no interest in women. Sure, they made wonderful friends, but he was not interested in them sexually. For a while, he actually thought he might be asexual. Sky then realized that he was actually interested in males. Unfortunately, do to his timid nature, he doesn't have the guts to actually act on it.
Roleplay Sample:
Everything was moving by him so quickly. The trees, the plants, the animals... They all went by him in a blur. But he could see perfectly; he knew exactly where he was going, and nothing could stop him from reaching his destination.
A snort emitted from his snout as the gazelle bounded over a fallen log, moss covering the decayed bark. He flitted around the trees with ease. A group of deer nearby looked up at his passing, and the gazelle bellowed in their direction - after all, they were cousins to him.
Finally, he arrived.
The gazelle bounded to a stop, his ears flattening against his skull as he swiveled his head to see if any predators were nearby. When nothing was seen, the gazelle began to change, his body arching and shortening and taking on a different form. A young man crouched in the place of the gazelle, naked and tilting his head curiously.
A few mile away was a town.
Standing, the man untied the message around his neck that he had put there before he shifted so that he wouldn't lose it. Skyvy stared down at the message, then began to walk leisurely toward the town. Everything had gone according to plan so far.
He'd like to keep it that way.
