Physical Description
Though for the most part she appears human, Lanaya's pointed ears and strange eyes give her a rather distinctly fae or fell appearance, though it's not entirely clear which she actually is...

Oddly enough, the most notable mark on her body is one that is usually hidden: a pair of ragged scars on her back, which she's had as long as she can remember, that stretch from the tops to just below the edge of her shoulder blades.

Personality
Reclusive by nature, Lanaya is also an incredibly curious creature. It is this curiosity that tends to motivate most of her decisions and occasionally makes her come off as a little blunt or even rude. She is single-minded when she sets her sights on something she wants, and her sense of morality exists in an area that most would probably consider rather "gray".

Magic/Abilities
Lanaya has a beastspeaking ability that is strongest with birds, particularly birds of prey, and she has a special fondness for owls. (Though the feathers that adorn her necklace come from a raven)

Aside from that, her magic is mostly earth oriented, allowing her to manipulate plants and such.

Relationships
She's rather solitary, but she does consider most birds she meets to be her friends.

She has a few fairly constant companions- a spotted owl she calls Gale, a barn owl called Norn, an occasional gold eagle visitor she's dubbed Hero, and Lenore the raven.

History
Known as a "changeling child", Lanaya's father was an unknown factor in her childhood. In her small village, her unwed and pregnant mother became a pariah- even more so when her child was born so obviously...different.

The people of the community she was born into were not very worldly, and highly superstitious to boot. They called the child cursed and shunned baby and mother.

For a while Lanaya's mother tried to do her best. Before they could even loose their baby down she removed the child's wings- an event of which Lanaya has absolutely no memory, and so no answer to the scars on her back, and she tried the girl to fear the woods properly. But she was still just too different. Even as a young child she was always drawn to dangerous wilds, and would speak to birds as though they could answer back.

Fearing witchcraft and curses brought down upon them, the villagers demanded Lanaya be disposed of. So when she was about seven, her mother brought her deep into the forest and left her there.

In the long run, it was probably what was best for her. She grew up free on scathing hatred and prying eyes, and met the most stalwart companions of her life. Hero was the one who first found her wandering the woods, and taught her to hunt and fish. Norn and Lenore quickly followed into the odd little flock, and Gale she rescued from a snare when she was a teenager.

Strangely, the birds she calls her closest companions seem to live longer than most, as they still remain a part of her flock.
