Backstory:
The Michitkas were a proud family from the northern countries. Honed by the ravaging weather and the dangerous wilds, the Michitkas were a brave and hearty group, producing many strong and honorable warriors and were also a known Druidic family, with a high instance of hedgewitches.
Eva, her husband Erik, their sons Viktor and Liam, and their daughters Mirram and Tirae, lived a good, if hard life in their clan holdings. Then the wolves came. Peasants, living in the villages, were picked off like snacks in their poorly defended homes, and came to the larger clans to beg aid. Most clans were not welcoming, fearing the wolves curses. The Michitkas were one of the few that threw open their doors. Being fighters, many Michitkas, including Erik, died defending innocents from the beasts.
Perhaps a 'curse' was all too accurate. One night, everybody slept peacefully until they woke to a dreadful echoing scream, followed by an equally dreadful howl. The peasants gathered together in the darkness, huddling in terror as the Michitka warriors and hedgewitches formed a protective circle around them. It was a bloodbath as wolves came from all directions. Someone had let the wolves in, and the wolves had turned against their ally. The night was full of confusion, and Tirae died in the chaos, as did many many souls.
Eva, Viktor, and the younger siblings were on cleaning duty in the communal kitchens and heard the madness. Not wanting to die, they fled out the back gates, managing to leave their home in the confusion... and headed south. The road was long, perilous, and gruelling. Fortunately, Mirram's hedgewitch powers started to manifest, and she gained a familiar and a flock of following rooks (and took a new name, Ash) With her help, the ragged remains of their family survived long enough to make it to Sunderland.
Eva set herself up working as a barmaid, Viktor did odd jobs, hoping to find a job fit for a warrior that he could keep. Liam and Mirram were sent to whatever schooling they could afford... when not doing odd jobs as well to support the family in a ratty, run down hut.
They have lived like this for several months now... and just when they were starting to feel settled in, just when they were coming to terms with the death they had left behind... Wolves start nibbling at Sunderland.
Personality Traits: Strange, Gentle, Reserved, Fond of animals,
Magic: Primarily, she can understand rooks as if they were humans, and they understand her. Other birds as well. She thinks its Verbal. She empathizes with other nonbird animals- there is a unconcious understanding there, not the sort of pseudoverbal, concious understanding she has with birds. She has minor herbcraft, but it mainly manifests as a good memory for herbs and a sense of which were safe to collect. Without education, she can't do much more than collect things and make tea. She was recognized as a Druid, and did get education. She could find work helping a fellow hedgewitch or a healer, but Grenta doesn't trust many people, and is especially suspicious of healers for reasons she keeps to herself. And Ash listens to Grenta.

Rook Flock:
KingQueen Rook:
Grenta
Grenta's been around a few times, and loves to flaunt her significant experience to her bonded. She's clutched three times and raised her chicks. She knows better than any of the pansy little rooks in the flock, and shes willing to share this wealth of experience with her Hedgewitch. Note: Willing.
---
Bainer
Bainer is a bit of an over-curious troublemaker. She gets into just about everything, and is annoying. But her cleverness is what Grenta draws upon.
Diyzen
Diyzen is kind of a fool. He is constantly posturing to females and insulting humans. Of course, they can't understand him, which makes him bolder and even more annoying.
Hera is a deceptively deer. She may seem sweet and harmless, but in reality, she is trouble wrapped up in a pretty white coat. She is a trickster, a prankster, and in the dreaming there is nothing that stops her from wandering, making herself a nusiance, and wandering again. She sees more than she seems to and knows more than she ought, but you wouldn't know it from her smug, slightly airheaded ways. She is arrogant, concietied, smart, silly, and mischevious... and never stays in one place for long, dissappearing into the dreaming as a flash of white and a merry cackle.
