Appearance:

---

Nalani could be considered a figure for grace and elegance in both forms. Elegant she is not, but at least she looks the part. As a human, Nalani's hair resembles the ashen patches of her owl form. Not quite black, but not brown either. Lightly tanned skin, and freckles aline themselves on her cheeks just below dark brown eyes. Her hair reaches down just below her shoulders with a slight wave, and is usually kept tied back to keep from being in the way. She prefers to dress in dark colors such as blacks or dark browns with minimal accessories. She refuses to wear shoes of any kind, feeling as if they are too constricting as she cannot feel the earth below her. She is shorter than the average human, potentially reaching around 5'1 on a good day. 



As a Barn Owl, the majority of her feathers are honey and cream colored,with various ashen patches mixing themselves in. Her form is small and sleek, with her wingspan being longer than her entire body, enabling her to fly longer distances. A heart shaped face lined with golden feathers and two round and dark eyes.

Personality:

---

Nalani, a name meaning "Silence of the Heavens". It could have truth to it, as she isn't a very talkative person. More of the "observe and judge in silence" type. It could also have to do with the creature she shifted into. As an owl was one of the world's silent creatures. Nalani prefers to watch from above, to observe her surroundings, so more than likely if you are searching for her, she can be found in the branches of a nearby tree. She finds security in the treetops, and enjoys listening to the sounds around her, letting the occasional peace of nature take over. Though if she does find an open space in neighboring villages such as an old barn, she will take refuge there as well. Being left alone for the majority of her life, she does not seek out the company of others often unless she is relaying messages. She will speak if spoken to, or she may decide that the words you speak are simply not worth her time and focus her attentions elsewhere. Appearing to be quite attentive when in reality she is listening to the conversations of a merchant a few feet away. Helping others is not a strength for her, but she will if necessary and it is in her ability to do so. If she can't do anything in a situation, she will leave or sit and watch events unfold. Children are another weakness as she comes to care too much for them. They amuse her with their antics and she finds herself wanting to join in or take them under her wing(insert lame pun here).

History:

---

The past is the past, and nothing can change it. Nalani prefers not to dwell on the past. 

She was born into a middle-class family, a merchant's family. Her father, a falcon were-beast, sold metalwork while her mother, a horned owl were-beast, was a spinster. Her brother was off adventuring, never to be heard from again, or at least that's what his intent was. Nalani still finds him occasionally while doing her messenger duties. In general they were well off, not really needing nor wanting. However, comfortable living only lasts a little while. Nalani's father took ill and never recovered. The consequences of this illness wouldn't allow him to continue his metal working. Food became a little more scarce for the family, and Nalani had taken to doing odd little jobs, which peaked her interest in becoming a messenger. A noble had once asked her to relay a message for him in exchange for a coin, and what young child could say no to a coin? She was efficient and had the message delivered and a reply returned within the hour. The job continued and she discovered that valuable information was exchanged as well. Eventually, she asked a friend to teach her to read in order to read the letters she delivered. Not because she wanted to give the information out, but for her own curiosity.  As she grew, so did the reputation of her flight skills(human and owl), which has since given her a decent way to make a living in this world and the opportunities to see the kingdom's lands. Not that she minded being away from her home anyway, the world was waiting and her father was dying. She was often left alone in order for her mother to care for her father, and solitude and money became her friend. A small portion of her money is sent back to her home in Cendra City to her mother.

Nalani doesn't keep many friends around as she travels too often, she has acquaintances that she'll speak with when passing through but no one of note. A small dagger is kept on her person when traveling through large towns.
