** Abilities: Nothing extraordinary. Flight. Razor-sharp talons and serated throat-facing teeth. They do not have magical abilities (but can sense if someone does), though Hickory was trained in 1x1 combat and flight. And he can also read.)

Name: Hickory
Gender: Male
Age: 26 / Adult
Creature: Harpy (body of a bird, head and chest of a person)
Sexuality: Unknown. Has no interest in finding a mate.
Appearance: A large black-feathered bird standing at 6'7", with a pale skinned human face and blue eyes. Light freckling along the nose and cheeks. Legs are a slate color, with long black talons.
Personality: devoted; determined; suspicious of others. If given a job, he does it best to his abilities. But he constantly feels as if the society here doesn't trust him, despite he and his sister's best efforts. Distant at times, but extremely territorial and protective when it comes to his sister. Unlike most harpies, he can read.

Crush: No interest in mates.
Significant Other: X
Enemy: Humankind
Best Friend: His sister
Family: Unknown
Other: Before his sister came along, he was part of a society called the greater harpies. Here he was treated with respect for his pure heritage and taught the best schooling. He learned to read and excelled in combat, and rose in the ranks of his flock to guard, one of the most respected ranks. But then one evening a harpy was brought into the flock for judgement, captured during a raid in a lesser harpy establishment. And upon further investigation he discovered the individual to be his sister. When word got out, he was demoted immediately and stripped of his status. Everything he'd ever known was taken from him in an instant. But he couldn't bring himself to hate his sister. So one night they escaped and they eventually found their way to this new site, where they were more-or-less welcomed to stay and hide.
Name: Holly
Gender: Female
Age: 26 / Adult
Creature: Harpy
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance: Same as her brother, though slightly darker skin tone and brown eyes. Lots of freckles.
Personality: submissive; stubborn; self-doubting. She follows closely behind her brother and is very timid around others, believing her brother's idea that they are not fully welcomed here.
Likes: Warmth; hunting; observing; gathering and collecting.
Dislikes: Chilly weather; rain; being isolated; being challenged.
Strengths: She's observant and very intuitive. She can find just about anything if given enough time to find it.
Weaknesses: her self-doubt gets in the way constantly, and when it does she is practically immobilized.
Crush: Unknown
Significant Other: Unknown
Enemy: Humankind; greater harpies
Best Friend: Her brother
Family: Unknown
Other: When she was still an egg, a flock of starling harpies (of the lesser harpy community) stole her egg in a raid. She grew up in this society, raised by those that questioned their self-worth on a daily basis, and treated her somewhat unequally. When the camp was raided by greater harpies, she was "rescued" and brought into their community where she met a harpy of the same looks and age as her. But she had been raised to fear them and the others sensed this, attacking her and forcing her into submission. She was demoted to the lowest rank: custodial work and was treated as an omega until the harpy from before revealed himself to be her brother. They escaped together and didn't look back. But now she has the constant worry that they are looking for them still, and fears being alone for very long, afraid she'll be abducted by then again.
[Edit:; I don't want to cause any trouble by posting or linking to additional references. I couldn't find very good face claims for them anyway, so they don't have any and I gave a little description on how their faces looked!
But if it won't work, I will PM you images I think best resemble them if you'd like!]
