In my haven won't you dear
No more walls, no more chains, no more selfishness and closed doors
For we are in the fullness of God's time
It's the time of the Great Jubilee"

Gender: Female

Title: Priestess/Shrine Maiden/Dancer

Fiesty, curious, brave, adventurous, keen, privileged, thrill-seeking, rebellious, young

I feel like she's a young priestess who doesn't understand the importance of her role and prestige and instead, squanders it and shirks her duties to have fun. I imagine she enjoys dancing with spirits, hopping and prancing in a way only they understand.

This baby girl is based off the blue bird-of-paradise and the superb bird-of-paradise . She sports a breast shield that she unfolds and curves around her neck. The combination of that and her fanning her wings out behind her back creates an eclipse effect that makes her appear larger than she is. It's the form she takes on when dancing with spirits. Her patterned eyelids mimic eyes, making it rather disconcerting when she's asleep.

I have never entered design contests before because they always seem way out of my league. But I really adore the Birdfolk species and I had to try my hand at designing one! I've always wanted a bird OC based off the BOP but I never had a reason to design one until now.

I've never put so much effort in designing a character before, and I'm really proud with the way it came out.

Characters are very important to me (BABIES) and it takes time for me to get to know and understand them. I grew quite attached to this darling while designing her but it's still too early for me to discern what kind of character she is. Only time will tell but I look forward to the chance of getting to know her.

Like all my OCs, I don't want to force a personality or backstory on her, so I'm afraid I can't fill that part up. She'll share it all with me when she's ready.
