Splinter is friendly enough, but can sometimes offend others just by being her usual flippant, careless self. She's smarter than average but gets lonely easily, as her own company is utterly dissatisfying to her. Her rather apathetic, just-for-the-hell-of-it outlook on life can either draw or repel others; on one hand, she doesn't take much personally and is therefore easy to talk to, but on the other she's totally unguarded about what she says to others and speaks her mind, even when what she says is outright ridiculous. Splinter will find just about anything to complain about, but more out of the pleasure she gets from hearing herself talk than from any genuine distemper.
The best that can be said of her is that she never means any harm. Troublesome, lazy, and sometimes simply rude, yet she bears little ill feeling towards the world and is as quick to be delighted as she is to be dismayed. Her moods change quickly, but always within a reliable middle range; she can never seem to achieve overwhelming joy over anything, but she's also spared from ever being truly furious or enraged; she holds just enough perspective to keep her grounded at all times, for better or for worse. Her head is almost always level.
She's also pretty tough, beneath the layers. Most wouldn't think it first meeting her, because she might wail over a puddle or whine about a pigeon that escaped her clutches, yet when its important she'll keep her head in a crisis without a problem, shedding her usual shallower attitude with ease.

Splinter is small and light boned, and quick on her feet. Her coat is mostly dark, mottled black and charcoals, with small splashes of white where her border collie heritage shows through. (More often than not, these white spaces are tinged brown with dirt and other muck.) Its texture varies; her dislike of water, and by extension most efficient forms of bathing, lend it to spikiness and clumps, but around her paws and ears it is silky soft. Her eyes are a deep, warm brown, and are the most becoming part of her appearance.

Splinter has lived on the streets her entire life, and she's just fine with it. When she was born, her litter was the last thing her mother's human family needed; for lack of a better solution, Splinter and her brothers were put in a cardboard box on a street corner. Exactly zero of them found a home from this, but Splinter somehow managed to survive against the odds, it being a particularly warm and kind summer that year. Of her three brothers, Splinter thinks one or two might have survived, but she hasn't seen them since they all clambered sloppily from the box and went their separate puppy ways. In her typical indifference, she is not at all bothered by this lack of family connection, and rarely ever alludes to the family of hers that is somewhere out there.
