Peregrine Solkol FULL NAME: Peregrine Sokol AGE: Twenty-Seven BIOLOGICAL GENDER: Female MEMBER GROUP: White Dawn HOME COUNTRY: Fiphele OCCUPATION: "Invalidated" carrier pigeon for the military, currently assists in an orphanage when not participating in "lighter" missions. POKEMON // WHAT ARE YOU? SPECIES: #016, Pidgey ABILITY: Keen Eye LEVEL: 10 EGG MOVE AND CLASS BONUS: Air Slash(egg) and Heat Wave(tutor) DRASTIC CHANGES: Melanistic Snowflake OVERALL APPEARANCE Peregrine is a healing bird that has many wounds. She has a dark coloring across her body as a pidgey save for her feet and her beak which remain their usual pigment. The most notable difference between her and another pidgey, the melanism excluded, is that she is missing a lot of feathers on her wings and tail. If it's not missing, it's clipped. Because of this, she will not be able to fly for quite a while nor will she be able to have as much balance on perches. She pretty much has to stick to the ground because of this and flight is impossible for her until she goes through a molting cycle but even then it is unsure if her feathers would be able to grow back properly. If she falls, she's going to helplessly drop like a rock. She has a bag that she usually carries with her that she prefers to be as dark as she is in order for stealth, however, as of late, that has not really been her forte. PERSONALITY // WHO ARE YOU? LIKES ✔ The Night - she's not a murkrow and she's not at all built for the night, but she prefers the cover that the dark sky can provide for her and the silence that comes with it. ✔ Seeds - Her diet consists mostly of seeds with what she eats. She doesn't like berries and prefers harder foods for her to crack open and get into herself. ✔ Nice warm blankets - There's nothing better than just curling up in a warm blanket after a hard day of work. She likes to just wrap herself up in particularly soft blankets and just fall asleep in them. DISLIKES ✖ Berries - They're too juicy and it's a pain to eat. Odds are she'll end up getting juice all over legs and beak and it irrirates her. ✖ Carnivores - Eating meat is a choice and she firmly believes that the consumption even of ferals should be outlawed. ✖ Nowhere to Go - Being a bird, she likes to be in high places. However, due to her current circumstances she absolutely hates not even seeing somewhere to go or some sort of exit plan in case things go wrong. HABITS ►"Floofing" - When she is upset or angry, she has a habit of puffing up into a ball of what feathers remain. She knows its hard for people to take her seriously like this, but she just can't help it! ►Touching Foreign Objects - If she doesn't know what it is, poke it with a stick. If it isn't alive, poke it with a stick again. She likes to test things before she engages with them if she doesn't know what might come of it, even if it means potential danger. FEARS ►Larger Predatorial Birds - Due to her history, she has a major fear of any birds with beaks meant for tearing her apart. She fears Noctowls in particular, but she is not at all comfortable around pokemon like Talonflames, Honchkrows, and Staraptors. Never Flying Again - Her feathers have been severely damaged and she's not quite sure if they'll heal properly. She was told that there's a possibility that the feathers might not grow back, though it was likely that they will. She has a deep fear of the unlikely happening and just not being able to fly properly again. OVERALL Peregrine is a stubborn soul that loves to bite off more than she can chew. While she used to be a cocky, vain, and arrogant bird, that has since been stripped from her along with her beautiful feathers she used to admire so much. She's the one to do the right thing, even if it means breaking a few rules here and there in order to do it. Those that know her, know her well for her honesty. She does not have a vast history of lying or withholding the truth from the people she believes to be "good" or if it is for the best to keep the truth on the down low and is also quite a stubborn little monster who would rather throw her health away than to tell a secret she had been entrusted with if it were something that would not harm another. HISTORY // BUT WHY? Peregrine was born to a pidgeot mother and a Noctowl father as the eldest daughter of three. The two were quite an odd pair, considering her mother used to be part of White Dawn and her father boasted about being wanted mon in several countries. While the mother's previous occupation was kept silent to the children, her father's was often spoken of in many stories. He knew all there was about the realm of outlaws, or at least so he said. He was a boisterous bird that loved to recall the thrills and joys of thievery, but he always discouraged it despite how much he had claimed to enjoy it. According to him, he was just an unfortunate soul that was caught up in some business he wanted nothing to do with, so he had come to Fiphele to have a fresh start. At first, Peregrine had believed him blindly like any child would. As she grew up with her siblings and the teachings of her mother, she had begun to doubt the older bird as whispers around the town made it quite clear that he was lying. He was a fool in the eyes of many, yet still, she and her mother loved him. He was not really some infamous outlaw, but he often wanted to make himself seem cool in front of the children. It was obvious to all that he did not truly have the heart for such an occupation. Despite how much of a fool he was, the mother had given up her position in White Dawn to start a family with him. It was not any particularly unique event or display of skill that had cast White Dawn's watchful eyes upon Peregrine and her siblings, but the potential that came with them being the child of her mother. She had spent most of her days playing with her siblings along with other children in the area, but it was not long until White Dawn decided to test the waters themselves seeing as their rather dull lives were not sparking anything to show a particular interest. They reached out to Peregrine in the form of a Minccino. It was not an immediate task to recruit the bird as she was still young, but the Minccino managed to befriend her in particular and the two would play very odd games. It was not the usual games such as tag with her siblings, but strange little search and fetch quests and races where she had no real opposition except for time itself. Her encounters with the minccino were kept silent from her parents at the request of the minccino. Secret Buddies! She had found the idea to be quite amusing as a child, the idea of having a friend all to herself that she did not have to share with the others. As she grew older, it became more of a ritual to see this minccino. "Games" turned into "Training" and they would only get harder and harder the more she improved. The two started to train in the night under what little moonlight the cover of the trees allowed. Once she had turned eighteen, she was invited. She was told of her mother's position and also of the Minccino's intentions for appearing and training her. At this point, she felt obligated to accept. Unfortunately, she could not tell her friends and family. Instead, she had to leave suddenly. While her mother and father were sad to see her go, they knew it was only a matter of time. While they did not know exactly what had spurred her eagerness to go, they wished her luck anyways and assumed it was an instinctual drive. So, she joined the White Dawn. She remained in Fiphele under the care of the Minccino and continued to grow strong until eventually, she was ready. She became a messenger of the sorts. She would take messages and fly them to other White Dawn members. She was given a capsule to carry on her back and she traveled in the darkness of the night to make it from location to location between different countries and Invictus. The messages she carried varied in importance, but she was happy with her job. Years passed and she pretty much lived and breathed White Dawn with a side job assisting with an orphanage that held ties between Fiphele and Invictus she had picked up in order to upkeep an "average" side of her life. She was confident in her flight and enjoyed her life. Unfortunately, something that was not even her fault would change things quite drastically. She had gotten word of a terrible outlaw that had come into the country for shelter, a merciless killer that had slain many pokemon for sheer amusement. They sought reforms and a new life in the country, but they were heavily watched. She had thought nothing of this at first, but it was soon made clear that this particular outlaw would be imperative to her life. She received news that her mother had died. She returned home to find that her father was a hysteric mess as her mother was buried. She mourned, yes, but she was eventually informed that her mother had been killed by the very outlaw she had heard about just a week ago. To say she was angry would have been an understatement, however, she had been assured that the guards in Fiphele would bring justice upon the outlaw's head. She had felt assured by this as the outlaw was given the death penalty should they be caught. She continued on about her job as the messenger with full hopes that she would soon receive news that her mother's death had been avenged. She didn't. Instead, she received a different kind of news. She was in the midst of a mission, flying just above the treeline as usual with her ever so precious message when she was attacked. She had not even heard anything in the silence of the night before she was suddenly crashing through the branches with loud screeches from both her and the opposing pokemon that had attacked her. She cried out in fear but she was easily overpowered by the much larger bird. Peregrine was captured and submitted to a harsh three months in captivity where she was questioned for information on White Dawn. During this captivity, she learned that the pokemon that had caught her was the outlaw that had slain her mother: a Noctowl. This noctowl had a particular interest in her, however, as he wanted more personal information from her. The murderous ruthless outlaw wanted...to know where her father was. She had no idea, and still does not to this day, that her father's ramblings about being some infamous outlaw that sought retreat to look cool in front of the kids had been based on a true outlaw; the one that stood before her and held her prisoner. The outlaw had caught wind of her father's ramblings and decided that he did not take kindly to it. Peregrine refused to let out even a peep about her family or White Dawn and thus was punished. Her wings were clipped, feathers were plucked, and overall her life was made out to be absolute misery with the promise that if she did not say something soon, then she would end up like her mother. But then finally, at long last her saviors came. Many of the bandits that had collected to interrogate her had been caught and sentenced to death, though some managed to get away in the ruckus. She was brought into recovery and discharged from the service of White Dawn until she was healed. She found that to her horrors she could not fly, she could not balance as easily as she used to, and she was overall weaker than she used to be due to malnutrition. She was, to say the least, useless. In a desperate attempt to not make herself useful again, she buried herself into her work in the orphanage where she hoped to everything holy that her feathers would grow properly again. She generally refuses to tell others of what had happened during those times to any outside of the incident, but if someone of the correct authority were to ask...well, she'd have no choice now would she?
