xxxWriting:--Personality--Shawshank, despite what his name might imply, is a rather reserved and introverted individual. He prefers to stay at home if possible, and would much rather spend his time drawing and writing. He's rather creative, and loves to express his emotions through poetry, creative writing, and painting. However, it's rather unfortunate that he's usually not able to do these things. Why? Simply because his friends
Parsnips and
Paprika won't allow him to. You see, these two Vaikis are very adventurous, and enjoy going off and seeing the world up close and personal - and seeing how Shanks is their best friend, Parsnips and Paprika are always dragging him along on their wild misadventures.

--Story--To say it was terribly uncommon to see Shawshank in a tree was a bold-faced lie. However, to say that he was up there, clinging to the narrow branches for his dear life willingly was an even bigger lie. No sir, if it were up to Shawshank, he'd definitely be back at home, curled up in his favorite red velvet chair, working on a bit of poetry - or maybe even finishing up that short story he'd been putting off for oh so long. But, as cruel Lady Fate would have it, Shawshank was stuck on a thin tree branch, hugging the narrow piece of wood with his body as his two best friends, Paprika and Parsnips, clambered higher and higher up into the dense leaves.
"R-remind me why we're doing this again?" Shawshank called out shakily, slowly inching forward as he tried to catch up to his pals.
Parsnips glanced back at him as she grabbed a hold of another branch. "Haven't I told you like, five times already?" she chirped. "I saw a cat up here. I wanna help her down - thus, this is the only reasonable option."
If Shawshank were bold enough he'd be rolling his eyes right now. "You couldn't have - oh, I don't know... Gotten a ladder?! Or called the fire department? I'm sure they deal with these things all the time!"
Shawshank heard Paprika give a hearty laugh somewhere further up the tree - he couldn't see him, however. The taller Vaiki was hidden away by the leaves and branches. "Now where's the fun in that, Shanks?" he asked, the underlining of a taunting tone in his voice. "Don't tell me you're scared of heights..."
"You KNOW I'm scared of heights! Don't even try to tell me you forgot, because we both know that's a lie!"
Parsnip rolled her eyes and climbed higher. "Quit arguing, you big babies," she grumbled. "We have a cat to find!"
To say Shawshank liked how adventurous his friends were wasn't the complete truth. But hey - at least he had something to write about!
...If he made it out alive, that is.
