Character Information
She was a dreamer, the middle child in a blue collar family.She loved anything that went fast, be it a skateboard, scooter bike the faster the better. she would dream of going so fast I could fly away from the noise the lack of privacy and loneliness of my family. one day she started hearing whispers in her ear, that if she just let go, she could fly. she ignored them for a month, but the voice kept getting stronger. One day she started listening. she took her bike and headed to the highest bike trail she could find and started riding. Faster and faster, until she could hear nothing but the wind in her ears, feel it ripping at her clothing as she got to the fastest spot she simply let go. and as her body began to fly through the air, she was pulled through the hedge. When she emerged on the other side she no longer had arms and legs, but wings and claws.
Known History
Current Activities
Charter member of Changeling Air Rapid Delivery Service (C.A.R.D.S)
Messenger for the Lost: Secure, discreet and most of all, fast.! the character does not ask what the message/package is nor will she allow anyone than the recipient to get to it, and will do everything in her power to make that happen. This means she may deal with some less than reputable characters.
She has contacts in various cities who she can steer her towards jobs. She relies on speed, stealth and deception to get where she needs to go fast and undetected.
Background
Her master entered her in a forfeit race,sponsored by a Fae who was known to be particularly cruel to his charges. She flew as fast and as high as she has ever done before, then dived into the Hedge. She was looking to escape any way she could, including death. She was scoured as her feathers were ripped from her as came out the other side naked, in (mostly) human form and completely confused. All she remembers is someone reaching in and pulling her out. The rest of the trip through is a nightmarish blur. Her benefactor, Aaron brought her to his freehold in Gainesville. FL where she stayed for some time recovering from her ordeal.
Eventually, she made plans to return to her native Arizona. She started by doing small delivery jobs, moving on as she completed each job, until she worked her way back home.
