Deep within the untouched parts of the forest where the sun rarely reaches its light, a community of Kenkus has lived in peace, secluded from the outer world for centuries. Uninfluenced and unnoticed by outsiders; these creatures have passed down their traditions and beliefs that nature is the sacred entity of life. This peaceful flock has averted from the norms of Kenkus, straying far from being deceptive tricksters and instead reformed completely through the act of good-will and as kind one could ever be. They believe that one day once they've proven their worth and regret, their long forgotten deity may finally give them back their wings and voice.

A few years of famine and disasters struck the forest, only one chick survived during the hard times and she came to grow up closer to the elders, with less connection to the other younglings. Not only that but her perception of the creatures around her was above all else, almost like an overworldy talent for undertsanding a persons feelings and motives, but also their aura in general. This tended to overwhelm her greatly, especially around other more lively and loud juveniles. Hence why she leaned to her wise and peaceful elders.

She was put into teaching early on and showed excellent cunning in everything from craftsmanship to spells, but she favored music above all else. Through her songs she emitted a nostalgic feel of longing for a melodic language they once held close and she found an especially strong longing for uncovering more about their forgotten history. To one day be able to fly or sing in their own tongue came to be a strong dream of hers. She stood by her elders' philosophy of kindness and respect. After years of studies and experiences she wished to leave for the outside world in hope to find more answers as a lot of their history still was left uncovered. She also felt the actions she lived by were limited to where she was currently residing. If she were to leave, would she find a way to repay the kenkus debts of deceit through the acts of generosity and kindness? And would she learn new skills unknown to the tribe which she could bring back for them to learn; as their lives of seclusion had limited their knowledge by every new generation? There was only one way to find out: and so she left on her own, only carrying a few essentials and her trustworthy quarterstaff. With her elders prayers of safe journey and her crystal totem close to her heart she made her way through the large, looming forest; onwards to new lands.
