Biography

Name: Starla
Curious Talonok researcher

Starla has always been curious, chasing one 'I wonder what's over there?' after another. When she was young family joked that the Wind nature was especially strong in her, making her a compulsive wanderer, but she always shrugged those jokes off. She wasn't constantly planning a trip to place after place because she wanted to travel- the point was that she wanted to see, to learn, to figure out. As she crossed each landmark and famous site off her list of places to go, Starla realized that as fun as her travels were, they rang half hollow. What was the point of just looking at a bunch of things? There was nothing for her to do about them.

It wasn't until she found the wind blasted ruins of a beastclan settlement deep in the bottom of a canyon that Starla fell in love.

It took her days to figure out what the place even was, spending hours picking through shattered containers, scraps of fabric, unreadable bits of text, all scattered here and there with broken pieces of feather still trapped underneath where the winds of the Plateau hadn't reached them. Wondering who these strange non-dragon creatures had been, where they had gone, what had happened to them, it became all she could think about. And it made her far happier than any checklist of sights-to-see had ever made her.

There was just one problem. One big, big problem: the ruins she wanted nothing more than to find more of and learn from were from an old Talonok settlement, which meant everything she could find was tiny. And Starla was a Ridgeback. It was all she could do to keep from ruining everything she handled by being sure to only use the very tips of her claws to touch anything, and even then she was terrified she would smash it all with one misplaced footstep. She had to hire tiny Fae friends to help her pick up the more fragile things she found, and had to search until she found another Fae, a bookish traveler named Arrow, who could read the tiny bits of writing for her.

What he told her turned her jealousy over the Fae's ability to experience these ruins at eye level into determination- Arrow said that he'd learned from his collection of books that there were many, many Talonok settlements tucked away between the massive trees of the Viridian Labyrinth, and that several of them had been wiped out seemingly overnight by some kind of magical accidents that left nothing but haunted ruins behind.

She had to see it. For herself, with her own eyes and hands. Which meant she would need to find a mage who could change her into a Fae.

She and Arrow traveled together for a time, searching for a mage who could do what Starla needed and adding new books to his collection as they went. He proved to be a very patient friend when they finally did find a mage powerful enough to help, because once Starla's shape was changed her ability to communicate using her frills like any born Fae easily could was, frankly, atrocious. Even after hours of practice she still doesn't express herself as naturally as a born Fae would, but her frill-communication has became at least passable, the equivalent of a speaker having a heavy accent.

Once they were in the Labyrinth the Wild Orchard clan agreed to let them stay for a time, and while Arrow eventually moved on from there to permanently join the Avis Calvariam Wind clan on their ship The Song Bird, Starla has found more than enough to keep her busy in the Orchard's territory. She's seen as a bit of an outsider, more of a researcher allowed to live with them as long as she continues to pitch in from time to time than a real member of the group, but that suits her fine. She's only there to go searching through the Gladeveins for tiny ruins and any sign of the mysterious hollow Talonok revenants that supposedly haunt the trees at night anyway, not to join a family.
