Aldus

Aldus is a traveling warrior and was born mute. She uses a magical bird named Nimbus, who is pretty much a normal bird except that he speaks the things she wishes to say allowing her to converse with people. Her bird has a masculine voice that contrasts her tiny appearance and often leads to comedic situations.

BACKGROUND:
Aldus was born a mute. Even so, her parents showered her with love and she was treated as equals with her siblings for the most of her childhood. Her kingdom cherishes brawn over brains, so she was brought up as a fighter, and a good one at that despite her small stature. Her people are a proud people who don't take insults lightly.
