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.

She has discovered, however, that she can speak fluidly so long as she sings. It can be assumed that any time Chacal speaks that she is singing. She may or may not lilt or rhyme, but there will always be a melodic quality to her speaking.

Regardless, Chacal is a confident, and assured leader, empathetic and friendly toward her packmates. She is playful, even with strangers, but if they do not pass her judgement, she takes some delight in tormenting them, lightly, to scare them away from her home. She is a doting parent, and is doing her best to be a just and responsible leader.
