Wikipedia

The Vermilion Bird (Chinese: 朱雀; pinyin: Zhū Què) is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. It is sometimes called the Vermilion Bird of the South (南方朱雀), and it represents the south and the summer season. It is often mistaken for Fenghuang, but they are two different creatures. Fenghuang is the king of birds, while the Vermilion Bird is a mythological spirit creature of the Chinese constellations.

The Chinese constellations were not only used by Chinese cartographers, they were also used by Korean and Japanese cartographers as well. In Japanese, the Vermilion Bird is called Suzaku, and it has been depicted in numerous Japanese comic books and animations. In Korean, it is called Ju-jak (주작).

South House of the Vermilion Bird

Opposite of the Northern House, the Vermillion bird's house is located South of the Center house. Following the trend of opposing traits the Southern-hold has been gifted with the trait of Speed with an element of Fire. Where as the Northern-hold houses the Military-focus-point of the Pride, the Southern-hold focuses it's strengths on Diplomacy. We strive to settle disputes and handle situations in a swift and effective manner, with as little disruption and complication as possible.

Needless to say, the Southern house also strives to keep the five branches in touch, delivering news throughout the lands governed by the five pairs. Messengers, ambassadors, diplomats, and even something of a council of advisers make up this portion of the pride, with the royal family at it's center. The lord/lady she finds that working things out without fighting is the best way to approach things and often strives to do so. Generally the rulers of the house are not afraid to get involved and help out. They also rule strictly but not without compassion and is often thinking of the whole rather than the one.

She holds influence and voice in her mate's ear, and most choices are decided together, but in the end if the need arises, the mate ruling by sucession will have the final say.

1/1

Adviser's Council - Lions, lionesses, cheetahs, leopards, wild dogs-- all species, shapes, sizes, and colors can be on the adviser's council.
