THING: When Altair was young, he hated his name. He thought it sounded weird and wished everyone would call him Al instead. One night though, his human stayed out in the pasture with him late, lying on her back and silently staring at the sky. Slowly, she started to talk and she told the story of how Altair got his name. Altair was born at exactly midnight and took his first steps 12 minutes later. His human had flicked off the light, about to leave a newborn Altair and his mother for the night and go to bed when a flock of birds cut off the moonlight. Afterwards, she'd swear she'd seen the outline of an eagle against the full moon. And so his human named him Altair, an abbreviation of an Arabic phrase meaning "the flying eagle". Altair is also the name of the twelfth brightest star, which was fitting considering his time of birth and first steps. Ever since that night, Altair's opinion of his name has done a 180 and he loves how unique and exotic it sounds.
