As an infant, Chacal was unusually quiet. As she has grown, she has begun to communicate verbally, though she is also incredibly expressive through the use of non-verbal communications involving breath, chattering noises with her teeth, as well as suckling or clicking noises with her tongue. These each seem to have some meaning.

She has a perfect understanding of spoken word, and is fluent in both English and Haitian Creole. She suffers from aphasia, however, which either complicates or inhibits her speech with little discrepancy. Often she will stutter or lapse into jargon if she cannot find the right word. She often switches back and forth between her two languages. When she does speak, she can be very difficult to understand, verbally, but generally has little issue making her intentions and feelings known.

Regardless, she is slightly timid and shy, but otherwise quite friendly and playful, like a cheery little sprite. While not terribly brave, she has absolute confidence in her family members, and relies on them for comfort and security. She can often be found shadowing other wolves, and can get a bit clingy from time to time. She is also fairly self-conscious about her communication disorder and will retreat inside her shell if she feels ashamed of herself.
