Cole Shariah

Cole Shariah is a male member of the Shariah Pride who grew up homeless and raised his younger brother, Jonathan Shariah.

History
He cares not for formalities and politeness. His deepest friendship is with his little brother, Jonathan, and with Liza, who is often in his charge. He raised himself on the streets and finds that he’s unable to remember a mother or a father; his body is covered in violent scars gained in his youth, but he has no idea how they got there. Sometimes he'll have nightmares - memories - and he'll wake up terrified, so he suspects that his life was no so good.

Physical Appearance
Human

Handsome young man with medium-length, tightly-curled, pale sandy-brown hair, glacier-blue eyes, and a friendly smile. He's lean and muscular, with strong arms and broad shoulders. The key part of Cole is how young he appears. He has a very boyish, immature look, though he's been through so much. His back is almost like leather, striped in scars from shoulder blade to shoulder blade, and jabbed with strange puncture wounds.

Lion

His lion form is slightly smaller than those of Walker and Roger, and his mane is not yet fully formed. He has larger paws that he will soon grow into, and half-moon ears that stick out under his locks of russet mane.

Personality
He seems to be better with children than with adults, giving rise to a deeper sense of responsibility. Walker suspects that Cole will never find a mate on account of his ‘wandering opinions.’ He grew up homeless and cold, sheltering his little brother with every bit of his energy, so his personality is rough and uncontained, sometimes fairly abrasive. Cole tends to act on passion, rather than clear thinking. He loves very strongly, and hurts very badly.

Cole is also highly intelligent and an unruly, wild fighter; he moves with his passion, rather than his actual skill. Cole also tends to let his passions bleed into his love life, because he will try his hardest to get what - or who - he wants.

At the end of the day, Cole is the best friend to have. As mentioned, he does love deeply. He loves his friends, and he loves having connections with people - not just the on-the-surface connections, but the kind that keep him up at night. Cole is the kind of person that will never let love go once he finds it.

Relationships
With Siblings

Jonathan is like a son to him, and he tries to do the best for the boy, but it’s not always easy. Jonathan sometimes pries on his nerves and bugs him like any brother would, but Cole would give his life for Jonathan.

With Other Pride Members

He sometimes antagonizes other members, but not to a point that no one likes him. He’s actually enjoyable company; bright and mostly friendly.
