Personality
Pau is a bobbly half harpy that is probably a bit too addicted to their social media. They are almost always being loud and silly but in a very endearing way. Having them banter with you and fool around is a sign that they feel comfortable around you, and since this is their default state of being it seems they are quite comfortable around people generally.
Being born without wings or a tail that normally are trademarks of a peacock Pau is often seen wearing a shawl instead that they can fold out making the impression of a peacock's tail if they need to feel closer connected to their heritage as a peacock harpy.
They are quite good with younger children yet often stumble over themselves if they need to be formal or polite in a too mature setting. They are not very great at school subjects instead finding their strength in subjects about caring for other people and creatures.

Pau is of middle height with a light tan skintone and purple hair that grows a bit lighter at the tips. It is cut short and behind their ear five peacock feathers are growing upwards creating what Pau calls their 'plumage'. They are muscular build yet lean, often wearing loose fitting pants and cropped shirts so to show their navel. On their neck tiny white and brown feathers are sticking out.
What is most significant about Pau tho is their face: they have very tightknit eyebrows that, if not mantained, will grow into a unibrow. Their eyes have yellow whites and red eyes with a bit of green heterochromia in each of them. The eyelashes are very short almost invisible on top of their eyes but grows long under them giving Pau their significant three bottom lashes under each eye. They also have purple markings following each eye. Their nose is straight and small and they have bucked front teeth.
They often wear a shawl with a peacock pattern over their arms.
Design Notes
- Pay attention to the eyes, lashes and brows - the eyes have bits of heterochromia, the brows are close together and almost a unibrow and they have three lashes under their eyes - all this is obligatory
- Their plumage is always standing up and grows from behind their right ear
- They have tiny feathers on their neck
- While it looks like socks the black parts on their feet is meant to be boots
- Not shown in their reference sheet is that Pau has bucked front teeth
- Their faceshape is like a triangle with a sharp chin

Story
art by AnarchySynergy
Pau is the only child of a witch/human (depending on if it is the Owl House AU or usual canon) and a peacock harpy. Since only half their DNA is harpy they did not inherit the ability to fly or to have wings or a tail. To make up for this Pau was given a shawl with the pattern of a peacock tail that they always wear to this day.
Pau knew early on that they were nonbinary and luckily coming from a household that had history with gender diverse persons, Pau's own father having one nonbinary and another transgender sibling, Pau was accepted and got to socially transition right away. They are still figuring out whether they want to medically transition or not.
Pau were an easy child to get around with as a child and still is to this day. They are quite a people person always wanting to be around others which could be tiring for their parents on the days that Pau could not go out and meet their friends. When Pau was given a phone at the age of eight - which in Pau's own opinion was way too late compared to their peers - they got into social media and is now a bit too addicted to checking up on how everybody else is doing. This is both a blessing and a curse for Pau's parents since Pau now are more independent yet can seem a bit forgetful at time and locked into their own little world.
While Pau was never bullied at school a few people in the area started commenting on their looks and their gender around 10-12 years old. Pau will tell you that it doesn't bother them yet at their most insecure days this does indeed go to their head and makes them OOC moody and sad. It helped a little when Pau met and started dating Edric, a witch around Pau's own age, since Edric always make Pau seem special, beautiful and worth hanging around. Pau also really like Edric even if he is a bit clumsy and all over the place like the time he sent a picture to their mom as an accident. The two of them are still hanging out yet Pau is not sure if they are partners or just good friends.
