Borns in New South Wales, Australia and grew up with five brothers and one much younger sister, Sheila was always interested in tending injured animals, having an extensive "Vet Business" in her parents backyard by the time she was ten.  Oddly enough, due to both her calm nature and the general solitary nature of her breed, Sheila did not actually shift for the first time until she was much older than most, being a freshman in college, and only then did it occur after a long night of partying with her friends.  After a rowdy night of carousing it ended with her crawling into a short eucalyptus tree and "crashing" only to discover upon waking, she'd gotten a great deal smaller and fuzzier!  Her friends had left, assuming she'd found her way home, and a friendly Cinerean kinfolk who'd watched the whole thing came to explain things to her.  She was aging, but very patient, in spite of Sheila's unending questions.  Needless to say, Sheila's decision to study veterinary medicine increased considerably after that point, AND she's never permitted herself more than one glass of alcholic beverage at any one time!  After getting her degree, and her doctorate, she studied abroad for a short time before landing the position of head Vet at a privately owned zoo in Necropolis.  It was in sore shape and she went to work immediately redesigning enclosures and tending to the animals with her own brand of "medicine"
She also brought with her Matilda, her niece of sorts through one of her brother's who is also a kinfolk.  The Cinerean mother was lost to a gang of Pentex inspired youth on a "joy ride" in the outback.
Recently, Sheila had been enjoying the company of another rare and unusual shifter by the name of
BamBam, or as he is called in homid, Ivan Armstrong.  Last of the Apus shifters, they have found comfort and love in each other's arms along with a mutual purpose to make a better life for those creatures who are destined to remain in captivity.

Here you have her two most likely companions.  On the left is Lenny, the lemur.  She's been known to take him for long walks in the forest - when he behaves.  And this stunning example of a Scarlet Macaw on the right, is Echo.  He has earned his name well, and is probably the most vocal bird you'll ever run across.  They are inseparable buds and accompany Ivan (BamBam) on his nightly patrols of the zoo.
