] ~ Plot ~ [
For centuries beyond human memory, all shape shifters and their kind alike have lived in peace, though they have forgotten the presence of falcons over time. Their peace has long since been broken, in hunting birds and capturing them alike; the falcons have done nothing, though, except bear a hatred for their ignorant race. It has been since then that all shape shifters have "vanished" in all sense but to themselves; they have been living among humans for generations. The falcons, however, made their home in the sky; a floating isle known as Nalani. Any kind of shape shifter is welcome; by certain standards of course. The falcons never truly got along with other species of birds, but they have never fought about it.
However, they could care less about killing humans, especially to find an escaped fugitive.
When a young member of the empress' royal guard made an attempt to kill her heir, and failed, she fled from the sacred isle to find refuge among the humans. She has stayed there for about a year in peace, but that peace is soon to end. In that year, the heir was finally able to gain audience with the empress and argued that the young falcon should be executed not only for trying to murder her, but also for treason and refusing to follow direct orders. To her advantage, said falcon had been among her Lady's favorites; but it was after so much protest and complaining that she finally gave into the heirs' request to drag her back to Nalani and execute her on the spot, with no trial for her to plead against the accusations.
Having overheard this, the heirs' son and prince of the isle too, fled, and went to find the young falcon in the hopes of being able to warn her of the dangers. This infuriated the heir, and, declaring that she would not give up until the two were found and brought back, she sent two of the empress' best guards to find them.
The humans, of course, are unaware of this turn of events, save for a few unlucky ones that get tangled up in the mess of trying to save their friends. Plot | Rules | Profile Skeleton | Accepted Profiles | Maps | Banners | Lists | Updates | Current Setting

What people think I'm like
Kel has always been one to follow the rules, despite how ridiculous or dangerous they have become. Like any other falcon back at home, she is cold-hearted, upfront, and serious, as she was raised to be so. She was so much so that the empress allowed her to become a part of the royal guard; this she accepted, but was soon to regret. Regret came swiftly, and that was when Kel's rebellious side came into play. Instead of following orders, she shirked them; in fact, she tried to break every rule that she could while being one of the empress' favorites, and remained so despite her colleagues' protests. She became less and less like a falcon altogether, and her time with her own kind ended when she fled the isle, wanted for her attempt to murder the empress' heir. Now dwelling with humans, she has adapted to their various emotions, though she is careful to reveal her true self to the friends she has made.
Let's review the past.
Kel grew up as a typical falcon; raised to obey the empress and her heir, and all laws that were passed. She was raised to hate all other kinds of birds, but above all that, to have a hatred towards humans because they had captured and killed so many of their kind. Of course, she was also taught to be lady-like so that one day she could pick up a worthy suitor. This had succeeded in her for seventeen years of her life. When she was about sixteen (in human years), the empress requested that she be put through trials to test her strength, and if she succeeded, she would become a part of her royal guard. This Kel passed with ease, and became a member. This was when she still followed the empress and worshiped her, until, of course, she was ordered to kill her family; she threw a fit, and demanded to know why, but was never told. In protest, she shirked all of her responsibilities, and also tried to break every law that she could. She did this only because she knew she was a favorite of the empress, and remained so despite how much trouble she caused for everyone else.
But despite her attempts at refusal, the empress' heir got ahold of Kel and forced; no, threatened to seal her magic if she did not obey her command. She reluctantly obeyed, and on the night she was to slaughter her family, she instead snuck back to the castle and attempted to murder the heir instead. It was to no avail, and she was to be executed, but managed to escape to where the humans dwelled, and has been living with them for the past year or so.
Pretty please?
Rainy days, books, solitude, causing mischief, and flying.
Eww.
Hot, sticky days, loud noises, rude people, obeying rules, and getting feathers plucked.
Bring it on.
Elbow blades.
I have something to show you.
Force change: Using her magic, she can force any shape shifter (like another bird) from their human form into their bird form.
Heal: She can heal herself and others to a certain extent.
Persuasion: After drawing the spell on someone's skin, she can easily convince them to believe her, etc. Only falcons can see the lines drawn.
Did I leave anything out?
She has two parakeets in her apartment.
You can't control me!
