Full Name: Iavasuial
Culture: Northern (Eagle)
Desc:This creature could only be one of the great Eagles, towering around 9 feet, the avian is covered in feathers of autumn-red and gold. The eyes hold intelligence within their depths, and are amber and green in colour- piercing and watching. The form of this bird is held with a certain amount of pride and dignity which is accentuated by the measured flick of her head (for she is definately afemale- and this can be read through her eyes, or perhaps in the way she moves, by those who know her kind) or the brief opening and then closing of her hooked and sharp beak.

Some of her beauty is detracted from by sharp talons; powerful and built for defence of swooping down on prey. Understandably, a sad ending becomes of most who are on the other end of those claws. Nevertheless, she is a creature of grace- while in the air, and beauty.

History: This Great Eagle is neither young, nor old; young enough to be naive still of some of the more specific aspects of the First and Secondborn. There are still unusual objects she may not have encountered before when landing and speaking with those she meets. One of many sisters, Iavasuial spent some time travelling and watching over the lands when she was younger. Some time passed and she grew weary and so did not travel far from the eyries, with the exception of sending messages between one eyrie and another.
Finally she has decided to travel out again, and now revisits the places long forgotten to hear tales, and take messages where she can. Having experienced little suffering or pain from the Secondborn, she thinks little ill of them, and often they puzzle her in their ways. She is not a master of the common-tongue, and often, after a long conversation, the quality of her speech will begin to decline.

Personality: Hm. She's funny, actually, I like her. It's hard to describe her personality, since she's an Eagle... but basically, if she lands, and you look like you aren't going to hurt her, she'll want to talk for a while. She wants to learn about things like music, and what having to "pay" for something means. She does like to help, especially help the Firstborn she might meet. She's intregued by the Secondborn and their ways, and is delighted when they surprise her with hospitality or thoughtfulness. She hasn't been thrown into a rage by one. Yet.
