Name: Vanya (Vahn-yah) Meaning: Beautiful. Breed: Harpy (mutant hippogryph) Quote: "You have beauty and grace. Flaws and strengths like everyone else." Currently: Collecting beautiful males and other objects for her collection.
Herd: Vanya is a member of The Flock. She holds the rank of musician/dancer.
Familiar: Pavone is more of an addition to Vanya's collection of beautiful objects than he is her familiar. He still assists her when she's out scouting for males, but mostly he's put on parade. He loves the attention he gets, though and Vanya treats him extremely well; he's always fed, cleaned and taken care of.
Personality: Vanya is narcissistic to a tee. She takes pride in all things she does and every feature she has. She is obsessed with owning beauty and often collects things she finds beautiful - trinkets, jewllery, men.. She's very over the top with her actions - the way she speaks, the way she moves and especially the way she dances. She considers herself above her sisters when it comes to beauty, though she is aware that she is not the strongest, fastest or the wisest - she finds those traits boring and trivial.
Vanya is a dancer. Besides protecting and continuing the flock it is all she lives for. She believes she is the most skilled, most graceful and most beautiful dancer in the flock and while no one confirms it, they cannot deny her skill. When she dances, men fall to their knees begging for time with her (or so she says..). While she is gifted in the act of dance, she is tone deaf when it comes to singing and sometimes envies those of her sisters who are able to sing - especially those who can sing and dance. Vanya plays music with bells - that's about as close as she gets to musical talent and that relies on her dancing. Vanya enjoys crafting jewellery - either for herself or for her sisters on special occasions. It is simply a hobby of hers and so she doesn't do it often. She uses her harem to collect gems and other various materials.
While Vanya understands the need to mate to strengthen the flock, she is very selective with who she breeds with. She looks for beauty, good genetics, rather than a strength and what have you. She never stays with the same stallion and while she may have a favourite, she will not selectively breed with him believing it is a waste of her god given beauty. Vanya collects men like she collects trinkets and jewellery. However, due to her size and lack of strength, Vanya has to rely solely on her beauty and skill in dancing to capture her males. Sometimes she may set traps or seek help from another sister in bringing down a male if she wants him more than any other treasure.
The easiest way to win Vanya over is to compliment her and give her things that are beautiful. Insulting her, in anyway, even if it is something that is meant to be constructive criticism, will result in a very angry, very mean harpy with very sharp claws wanting to tear your head off. She is very possessive of the beautiful things she's claimed and would only be willing to share if she deemed the sister wanting them worthy.

Vanya is the eldest child of Eleniel and Lerato. Born into the flock, she was raised by nannies. She listened to all the lessons taught, though she didn't take a lot of it to memory. She watched in awe at the dancers during festivals and knew in her heart it was what she would do for the flock. Vanya took her dancing lessons seriously - chastising her sisters when they did something wrong or weren't paying attention. During whatever spare time she had, she practiced and practiced, making up dances of her own.
As a foal, Vanya wasn't as beautiful as she is now. It was until she reached her teens that she gained her beauty. She was often teased by her sisters; called an ugly duckling. This is the reason she collects beauty; she believes it is something precious; something that should be worshiped.
During her teenage years Vanya's appearance changed and she became beautiful, while her sisters she grew up with stayed the same. She loathed her sisters for teasing her for so long that she began to flaunt her beauty, making sure she always looked her best.
It was in her teenage years that she began collecting beautiful things; especially beautiful men. She constantly showed off her collection, showing her sisters the beauty they said she would never have; the men they said she'd never claim.
Vanya was on the cusp of adulthood when the Earthquakes struck and destroyed their home. Like her parents, she mourned for her brother and spent weeks broken. But, like her father, she realised her mother needed her and was strong for her. Her brother is never forgotten; Vanya sometimes waits in the forests for him to return; even though a part of her believes he never will.
Now a woman, Vanya has made a friend in the Oracle's protected pet, Taarab. What started off as a friendship built on respect and a love of crafts eventually blossomed into a love for one another that lead to the birth of three healthy and beautiful girls; Vanmoriel, Vaniania and Vanwyn.
Taarab was granted permission to stay with Vanya when the Oracle did not need him, much to Vanya's happiness. Taarab has helped raised their children and plays an important role in their lives.
