Name: Danu
Age: unknown, never counted.
Gender: Female
Origin: Crows nest
Species: Guardian Spirit. A guardian spirit is born out of need, Danu was born to a flock of crows due to their distress of predators, humans and natural elements. At first she was nothing more than a crow that was unusually large. Over years and years she slowly gained sentience and awareness of her flocks needs. She also began to follow and listen to humans slowly gaining the knowledge of their language but at the time unable to speak it. Several more years would pass before she could muster enough of her natural talent to begin shifting between a humanoid form and her natural state. For now she can only complete the transformation from humanoid to crow for a few hours at least long enough for the moon to rise and set. She could change during the day but the suns glare makes it a little harder for her to concentrate.
Eye Color: amber
Hair color: black
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 126lb
Physical (humanoid): Danu is a pale humanoid figure with a slender build and narrow musculature. She looks as if she doesn't quite eat enough and yet she has a healthy enough appearance to keep most people from asking. Her long black hair looks coarse more like a mane then hair with feathers of ravens, crows and magpies festooned through out, it never appears greasy in fact it would be lovely to some, especially when light hits it just right it shines equally rainbow hued as the crow and raven feathers that dangle here and there. Her large amber eyes always stare intensely a heavy hint of curiosity in every glance. She doesn't care what she wears most of the time but she always wears a cloak made of feathers, from her shoulders down to her feet it trails behind her wherever she goes. She can take it off but it always remains in her arms or tied about her waist. Most of the clothing she wears is stuff that she's found picking about for shinies. Ragged t-shirts some that fit too tight or baggy, jeans, shorts and tank-tops are all the same way. She never wears shoes and her feet look absolutely worn with walking, running and whatever else she does.
Physical (Crow): A large crow with odd amber eyes, its obvious this crow has some sort of sentience as it will respond to questions and try its best to answer in short simple words for its beak. In this form Danu is 4.1 ft in length her wing span reaches from 6.6 - 8.1 ft in length. She is no small thing and could possible harm any humanoid with her sharp claws and beak, even break bones by buffeting things with her wings. She weighs about 5.2lbs
Likes: She likes animals as she can easily understand them. She is especially fond of the dark avians as they are much like her. Shiny things, feathers aren't the only things that hang in her hair, but also bits and pieces of beads, bones, glass and other shiny baubles she can find. She often keeps all of these shiny things in a hidden place. She is rather greedy with her shinies it would be hard to sway her to let one go.
Dislikes: Fast winds, they make it hard to fly. Fire, fire isn't useful to her it burns and destroys. violent humanoids, its a given.
History: Danu is from another place and time where magic touches everything and where humans are still just starting to explore the world. She has seen the rise and fall of clan and kingdom, she doesn't much care for the trivialities that befall human society and yet she cannot help but watch curiosity the winners actions. Born a crow she spent years doing what normally would be associated with birds and yet unlike other crows she never grew as fast. She spent several years in the care of her flock, peeping and pleading for food as she remained a chick for so very, very long it seemed. She watched generations of her flock come and go as she grew and finally when she was able to take flight, her last down gone her flock followed suit after her. Being the biggest crow around they often kept close for protection and she instinctively did just that.
Until the night she began to notice, that the sun rises and sets, that crows grow old and die and yet here she sat and saw this all. She became aware of time, became aware of her own differences and gained a sliver of sentience. She moved closer to humans whom at the time hunted or gathered their food as she saw that they too saw the passage of time. At the time the people thought of her as a good omen, a crow so large must've been something other than just a crow and they where correct. The moment she was capable of humanoid like form she began to cautiously move about the clan at night, stealing dropped shells, shinies and bauble for her slowly growing collection. She was discovered once or twice but never was caught as wings sure suited a hasty retreat. Eventually she felt that there was more to be seen and once she was sure her flock was settled enough and safe enough she took flight to find more curiosities.
