"Well, as you can plainly see, I'm a small owl. Beak-to-tail am roughly the size of seven mice lines up in a row. I look smaller when I'm perched, but when I'm flying my broad wings give me a larger presence.
My feathers are mostly brown, mixing to brown and white on my breast in a nearly striped pattern. I have white flecks on my wings and on my face. The feathers near my eyes are white. Ah, I see you're staring at my eyes. They are very unusual, for how often does one see an owl with blue eyes? My eyes are the same color as blue ice, a bright turquoise color that takes most by surprise."
What would your friends say about you?
"I'm a very peaceful owl, as Glauxian Brothers tend to be. I don't pick fights nor do I judge others based on their actions. Yes, I feel fear, I know when I am in danger from another owl, but I do not believe the actions an owl commits marks them as "good" or "evil." I have faith in all owls that they are able to repent and save themselves.
I also love reading, and information as a whole, any information, excites me. For this reason I do enjoy travel, and I take more than my fair share of pilgrimages to see the world for what it is. It is not enough to read and assume that what is there is true, I need to see it for myself. "
Where do you shine?
"I'm peaceful, trustworthy, and I love to help others. Also, during my reading and travel, I am quite intelligent."
How can you be beaten?
"Obviously I don't fight, I don't even know how to fight! I am easily fooled by those who convince me of good intentions, and I can be a bit naive."
Where do you keep your skeletons?
"I was born on Stormfast Island in the Northern Kingdoms. I was the oldest of my clutch, with two younger sisters Kara and Sonya. I lived out the first year of my life there, enjoying the newly founded peace in the Northern Kingdoms. However, when the kraals started getting rowdy I decided it would be better to move to a place with a little more security; a little more assurance that I wouldn't need to fight to defend myself against these misguided owls was nice. My sisters, with dispositions similar to my own, moved tot he Glauxian Sisters Retreat. I see them every now and again.
Since I arrived here at the end of my first year of life, I have learned more than I ever thought possible. I make pilgrimages often, although I don't usually go to the South because the temperatures are too warm for my liking. I've always liked the air around me chilled, you see. All in all, I've led a very quiet, studious life and I wouldn't have it any other way. ""Yes, friend, it has been very nice getting to know you and all that, but I'm afraid it's almost first light and I must be getting some sleep. You're welcome to stay the night if you wish. No? Alright, Glaux-speed to you!"
