Shadow Ryder-Reaper Paws

Shadow is one of the interesting members of the family. Because of his cross species (Redtailed Hawk x Snep x Ice Phoenix) Shade has a tendency to go through different growth stages, Young, Teen, Adult, Old, and Venerable, and at the end of this cycle he is reborn by shattering into ice shards and being reborn in the traditional Phoenix method of rising from these shards.
Shade's general demeanor tends to change throughout these different stages with him being playful and energetic during his young phase, slightly more restrained (and more likely lewd) during his teen phase, soft and gentle during his adult phase, highly relaxed and more self aware during his old phase, and finally being low energy and highly reserved during his venerable phase.
