Sota wasn't lucky enough to inherit the fully dark complexion that is seen as favorable among the Songa. Most of his coat is a murky off-white, though luckily it isn't vivid enough to draw too much attention when he's hidden in the treetops. Most of his lower half is a muted deep purple-grey, covering his belly and paws, as well as his tail and chest. Trailing up the upper portion of his limbs are stripes, similar to the stripes of an okapi. The same dark purple adorns his coat in other spots, visible along his side in stray flecks, as well as marking his middle back in a semi-circle. The most defining feature of Sota is the tribal markings that adorn his face, breaking apart the dark purple mask with sharp lines that extend from beneath his eyes, and trail straight down to his snout.

Despite his less-than-ideal coloration, all of Sota's other qualities are ideal as far as the Songa are concerned. His height, while perfect for the Songa, is quite small in comparison to most wolves. He stands at a mere 17" inches, and overall is quite light and nimble-footed. He's more graceful than he realizes, moving fluidly through the treetops, and only fumbling when he starts to doubt himself.

HUMBLE— Humility may as well be Desota's middle name. He isn't one to boast about anything, despite the fact that boasting is somewhat of a sport among the Songa, who are proud and often boisterous. Though he knows his own worth and would be quite indignant if someone tried to tell him otherwise, his pride is an extremely quiet one that's rarely seen by others.

SELFLESS — Going along with being humble, Sota is extremely selfless. His focus is constantly shifting outward, to those around him and those dear to him. He's the type to leave gifts to those he cares for, not only when they need them but when they might be feeling down. He'll do anything for the ones he's loyal to, even if a bit begrudgingly sometimes.

TRADITIONAL — Sota doesn't like change, and clings firmly to his upbringing and traditional Songa lifestyle. He's a firm believer in a society built strictly on honor toward one's peers, and he's respectful to an utmost degree. Sometimes he clings a bit too tightly to his traditional views, and straying too far leads to some nervousness on his behalf.

RESERVED— Everything else aside, Sota tends to be quite a reserved fellow. He's hardly ever loud or boisterous, preferring to keep to himself much of the time and keeping his emotions tightly reigned in. He's not so good at hiding his discomfort though, especially when being wrangled into a plan he doesn't particularly care for.

OBLIVIOUS — Despite being quite humble, Sota is actually a fairly talented Songa. He's not one quick to take trophies, but when he does he seems to do so with little effort. He's blissfully unaware of his talents, almost comically so, given how little he thinks of himself.
