Forum:Sakuya



Name: Sakuya

Species: Dragon Bird

Owner: Kaori

Appearance: In its adult form, the dragon bird is almost entirely yellow in coloration, with tufts of red feathers covering the interior of both wings. There are also patches of lighter yellow feathers over the dragon bird's eyes as well as along its back. Its eyes have crimson irises and yellow pupils. The adult dragon bird spirit has more distinct dragon-like attributes, with considerably more prominent orange horns, larger fin-like ears, whiskers, and a scaled underbelly. Otherwise, it retains more developed bird-like features, particularly in its broad wingspan, large talons, and strong beak.

History: When Kaori was young, she learned that the dragon bird was the symbol of her family. Her parents told her that each member in the family gets one and has to hatch the egg themselves. Kaori was given a dragon bird egg on her ninth birthday after she returned from an all-girls boarding school in the Fire Nation. She tried to break it and make the dragon bird hatch faster, but her efforts proved to be unsuccessful. After two years, she decided to use her firebending to break open the egg and make the dragon bird hatch. After an hour, just when she was about to give up, the dragon bird hatched and the two made an instantaneous connection immediately. She named the bird Sakuya after a famous she-dragon she learned about.
