As you enter the sheltered green glade, dappled sunlight falls upon the pathway in front of you.  You hear the muttered chirping of birds from the branches of the moss-covered trees; however, looking up, you see no winged beings.
A flash of yellow-green, much too bold to be part of the foliage, streaks by, hurtling through the underbrush.  A brown tail pauses, lifted above the cover of the bushes, to curl in a charming question-mark.  You can't help but grin, and an elegant feathered-and-furred creature steps hesitantly out of the bushes.  She tilts her head to the side and smiles pleasantly.
"Greetings," she purrs in a surprisingly mellow voice, for one so energetic.  "Has
Owahro'Saman sent you here?"
Aviol'Jamhe (Streak of Green)
"Who?" you ask, puzzled.  The gryphcat--for truly, that is the only way to describe her--clacks her beak in bird-like laughter.
"Electra, you would call her.  Pardon my manners--I am called
Aviol'Jamhe, and I come from The Cliff."  Not bothering to expand on just where The Cliff is, she continues:  "I am an Earth-element...My kind is very reliable and dependable. We stay calm in emergency situations, but are also very stubborn and set in our ways."
Without another word, she takes flight..
How was she named? 
(BTW,
Owahro'Saman means "Guardian-Protector")
