Just like a basic description of the character's mental description. Can be long or short. Just needs to help tell the reader who the character is and how they act.

The two shapeshifters had been together for years now, since they had been teenagers actually. Tola's parents had been killed by hate-filled humans while they were frolicking in a meadow of blooming flowers simply because they drunken humans hated the shapeshifters for what they did not understand. Tola was thirteen at the time, and had run off chasing a pretty butterfly; when she returned to the spot she had left her parents, she found the grass and trees and every living thing stained red with the blood of her parents. Tola refused to leave their bodies for three days, crawling along the ground to drink from the corrupted stream only enough not to die of dehydration before she returned to their bodies. Luckily for Tola, the humans were long gone by this point, because if not, she would have been an easy target to take out right then.  Tola had been found by another shapeshifter though, a boy just two years older than she was. He had heard the running water of the stream and approached for a drink, only to find this thin young girl practically wasting away in between two motionless corpses. She was too weak and frail at that point to fight back or use any energy as this boy, who introduced himself as Leo, easily lifted her body in his arms and carried her off to where he had been staying. Tola had fallen unconscious in his strong arms, and when she woke up, she was under a makeshift sort of covering, wrapped up in a blanket, warm from a nearby fire that was cooking a lovely scented soup. As she ate, Leo explained to her that he had been on his own for most of his life, and had sort of learned to just make due with what he had. They vowed then to remain friends forever, to stick by each other's side no matter what.
