Design Notes:

• Built like an oriental shorthair cat (lanky and angular; convex snout)
• Extremely long and flexible heron neck
  • Can be extended or folded down into her mane to look almost like a normal cat neck
• Mane made of clouds
• Rigid black stick antennae
• Paw pads match nose and tongue is a lighter yellow
• Dorsal and ventral sides of wings match
• Pale pink sparkles on mane and wings

Character Notes:

• Can predict solar eclipses 7 minutes before they begin (minor magic from her cloud mane)
• She enjoys fishing both with a fishing pole and by just... plunging her head into the water and grabbing a fish.
• Also uses her long neck for everything from stealing her niece's fries to pickpocketing strangers.
• Spent more time with her favorite aunt than with her parents and siblings growing up... and then ran off to join her aunt's pirate crew  as soon as she had the chance as a young adult.
• Doesn't have much (or... any) academic background in astronomy, but she thinks it's neat! Ask her about space if you want to hear some questionably-accurate fun "facts."
• Got picked on a lot for being weird and awkward as a youngster.
• Loves kids and teens and kind of wants one of her own!
• But what she doesn't want is a partner. She makes "aro ace pirate isn't interested in your booty" jokes at every opportunity.
• She hates cooking -- if someone else isn't willing and available to cook her food, she WILL eat it raw.
• She actually kind of likes when things go awry, because it gives her funny stories to tell.
