I already have enough characters, but this species was too tempting!
This is Quetzalli (ket-SAHL-ee), but most call her Quetzal, Quincy, or Quinn. Any nickname with a Q in front of it, she likes!
Her name means "Precious feather" or "beautiful" depending on the way you look at it. It is an Aztec name.
She is vaguely based on an african wild dog and the aurora borealis
She is a feather collector, and prefers white or silver feathers as they are easily dyed to her liking, but she also loves black feathers
She is a bit mysterious, choosing to linger at the edge of crowds and observe instead of speak. She has a keen eye for information but doesn't gossip, so though she holds many, many secrets... She doesn't utter a word. She attends all social gatherings she can, to gather more of these secrets. Some mutter darkly that she writes them down somewhere and stashes them away for later use, and she is not to be trusted. She hears all of this, but never defends herself against these rumors. She just watches, waits, and listens.
