Chaya

Graceful, and tough.  But can be awkward around people.  She loves to dance.  

Story:

One of the first species I learned about was diplings.  I immediately fell in love with them.  I tried for close to two years to get one, but during that time the artist retired from making adoptables.  And I couldn't get together acceptable offers to anyone who was trading one.
Then I randomly found a trade journal, and in it was one of my favorite diplings.
It was one of the rare occasions that the owner actually accepted my offer!
I made them a stuffed animal, and they gave me one of my all-time favorite designs!
