Boo!

I like this picture. It’s of a hawk laguz named Anne. I made her up because I like hawks, and I like pretending I am one – when no one’s around. This is opposed to my usual fashion of creating characters: a) so-and-so is handsome, so they obviously need someone to share their life with, and b) this NPC needs a name and background because he/she looks so darn cool.

Anyhow, Anne is a perky young hawk – not over 50 – who cleans the king’s chambers, hence the mop and bucket. She is perhaps the only one of my characters to have a bare midriff. Hey, she’s a hawk, which means athletic, and they live in a fairly southerly climate, where it’s rather warm. And short hair is something new, too. Her most memorable feature is the fact that her right wing is deformed, from birth.
