Wandering Singer, Dezia

[wick]

Name: Dezia
Gender: Female
Age: 7 moons (in the wild their average life span is 15 years. She's suppose to be adult though I'm not sure how old to make her in terms of the aging process here.)

Species: Common Great Horned Owl
Kingdom: None. She's a wanderer/loner, rogue, however you want to put it.

Position: Wandering Singer; she may or may not join Ga'hool at some point if she does then she'll be a singer.

Description:
.Dezia has a heavily built, barrel-shaped body with a large head and broad wings. Her ear tufts are large and her facial disk is reddish brown with a little bit of white above the eyes. Often seen by others as a brown form, tinged with rufous and barred distinctly blackish-brown below. Even though her feet could be buff or tawny, her's are tawny which are barred black. Her legs and feet are covered in feathers up to the talons.

There is also a white patch on her throat and her underparts are usually light with some brown barring; her upper parts are mottled brown. The iris of her eyes are yellow often with a kind gleam to them. Her feet and talons are distinctly large and powerful. With broad and rounded wings with a wingspan of 4.8 ft. She stands 25 in weighing in 5.5 lbs; females are larger than males. She has smaller tufts of feathers about her body that many mistake as horns when all they're just small tufts of feathers, they're most noticeable on her chest. Often she can be seen trying to flatten them out but it doesn't work since she clearly still has em. When angered one will see her ear tufts lower as she glares at ya.

Personality:
Dezia is a normally calm and collected owl, with a kind heart. She likes to get to know others before judging them and doesn't really care about the whole species thing. Her kindness knows no bounds and she is willing to help a owl who is hurt or in need of help, whether they be friend or foe. Sadly due to this fact, some owls do use her and it does upset her.

She is strong and independent, but it is still possible to hurt her feelings and make her feel miserable. She is still a female owl even though she is strong with a normally calm and tolerant ways. She has a strong love for singing and does her best at it, even though she does have skill, she believes herself to be average at best.

It takes a bit to get this female owl mad. She's fine with you insulting her singing, she knows she's not the best. But if you go on and on about it then she will slap you with a wing to the back of you head to get you to silence yourself. Another thing is, don't call her a male. She hates it when she gets mixed up with male owls due to her large build and strength.

To those she finds and takes care of; depending if they stay with her and don't use her nor turn out to be a enemy. She can be extremely protective of.

Strengths: Strong talons and feet, has a good heart, is a good singer.

Weaknesses: Her large size makes it harder for her to do fast movements. Loses her temper when she is called a boy. People do tend to use her due to her kindness.

History:
Dezia lived a simple little life, quiet and uneventful. Her parents were both Common Great Horned owls and she was almost always seen following her father around the hollow when she was old enough to walk around the place. Both of her parents loved her dearly and she loved them even more, she was often learning things form them before she even went on her first branching.

When she did start branching, she worked hard and thankfully endured no life threatening nor injuries that would cause her to have trouble flying. She did get a few scraps and bruises though so she didn't get away unscathed. Singing was something she took on in her spare time when her parents weren't around. Since she had no siblings and her parents were her only source of company, she practiced trying to sing over the moons and got fairly good at it.

Upon reaching the age for her to leave the nest, she did just that. Knowing that it was her time to make it out on her own and that she couldn't stay with her parents forever, she set out without making any arguments. Only telling them that she loved them dearly. Upon her first few weeks out in the world on her own, she met a male snowy owl called Glis. The two got along fairly well and he even gave her a few pointers in singing. Also the two were separated during a storm and she hasn't seen Glis since, but does hope to one day meet the Snowy Owl again and catch up on old times.

In Character

"Upon the night when it comes low, the stars align across the sky, making small lights appear to guide you upon your way." Devia singed as she flew along in the night.

She liked the night. It always gave her inspiration for her songs and the fact that owls were nocturnal added upon that. With a smile upon her beak, she flew about as gracefully as she could. Despite her large size she wasn't a bad flyer. Although, she couldn't do the fancy movements that smaller owls could but she really didn't care about that.

As long as she could fly, she could travel. And as long as she could travel, she could be herself and maybe even find Glis again. The male snowy owl was such a good companion, it was such a horrible thing that they lost each other in that storm. If only she had stayed closer to him, then maybe they wouldn't have been blown in separate directions.

Well, everyone could eventually reunite one day. She just hoped that she would reunite with a good friend someday. That and maybe find a place to belong but then again, was there a place a singing common Great Horned owl could belong?


Other: Words in bold are sung. If anyone wants to adopt Glis, please go ahead.
