Shatu
Pronunciation: SHAH-too

    Shatu’s fur is dark brown, almost black in color with white undercoat, so she looks like an average polecat.

    Shatu is well matched with Hetle in character. She is clever, curious, somewhat sly and determined creature but at the same time she can be rather funny. Shatu is very loyal to her owner and follows her everywhere.

    There’s not much to say about Shatu’s history. Tobol presented her to his daughter as a gift on her twenty-fourth birthday and before that day Shatu’s owner was a traveling merchant. Hetle always takes Shatu with her during her travels and also taught her pet a few tricks. For example Shatu can steal something if Hetle orders her or help her owner in hunting.

_{*Note: Polecats are a kind of weasel, closely related to ferrets and minks.}
