Marrow the Bearded Vulture

Marrow, known as Kubrea Rassi, is the drummer of Octane Burnout and is simultaneously the oldest and largest of the group.
== Looks and Attire ==
Rather large and imposing, which is natural for her species, Marrow dyes her feathers bright reds and pinks for cultural reasons. Underneath the dye she's orange and tan, but no one really knows it but herself and a few others. Her wings and tail feathers are black, the only parts of her body she doesn't dye.
Outside of dates with Orlando and special occasions, Marrow prefers to wear the same colors as her feathers. She wears a black vest jacket over top her striped red and orange long sleeved shirt. She also wears reddish black pants and dark salmon boots.
== Backstory ==
=== Youth ===
Marrow was born as Kubrea to her two loving parents in Midesta, the first of her many siblings. During her first year of birth she was spoiled endlessly until her younger brother came along, then her sister, her other sister, her other brother and so on. Before she knew it, Rea had a lot of expectations put on her but Rea is someone who is eager to please so she took it as a challenge. 
In between what little schooling the girl had, Rea spent her formative years helping both her parents and grandparents raise her younger siblings. As her slightly younger brothers and sisters aged, they too would help raise the rest of the brood, which including Marrow and these siblings is a bout 14 kids in total.
Rea picked up a more calm and nurturing demeanor right away with all the tasks thrust upon her, but she would often also make time for herself if she could. Every since she was six or so, Rea was a little romantic. It was probably because of how close her parents or grandparents were, but if she could she loved watching or reading anything with two people coming together.
She also developed a deep love a music in these years, especially any music with drums or a beat. It was but a dream in these years due to all the work placed upon her and the balancing act she must maintain. Soon or later, however, life had marched on and for Rea she would finally find her workload much smaller now that most of her siblings were growing up and becoming older much like she was herself.
Before she even knew it, Rea was an adult and her parents were fretting around finding her a suitor, or at least attempting to. As soon as her siblings grew up, her family was easily able to pair them off with other similar aged young adults that were friends or acquaintances of the Heth family. Not for Rea, however, since most suitors find her too masculine looking and large for their interests. Though it disappointed her at first, the vulture figured she wouldn't want to be with anyone for judging her for looks anyway.
She decided to stay to keep watch of both her aging grandparents and parents, but upon her grandmother's death the older woman urged her to move away from Midesta and to somewhere in the United Federation. Her dying grandmother gave her the cash to leave her village behind and move to Northamer and though it upset her family having her move so far away, they wished her well as she boarded the plane all the way to the country.
=== Coming to Molitor ===
Molitor, the United Federation city she moved to, was much much different than her small village back in Midesta. She still stuck out like a sore thumb, but not many seemed to pay attention to her as she made her way in the city. She soon sook out a roommate to move into an apartment with and found a woman named Jannet. Jannet was an aspiring keyboardist, who upon finding out Rea's love of music and the drums, urged the older woman to become a drummer.
Rea soon discovered she was rather talented drummer, setting herself up to start taking on being a temporary drummer for bands either with Jannet or by herself. The vulture found herself finally being approached and talked to by others for her talent and even found the romance she was looking for, or so she thought. Said girls and guys interested in her wanted more than the romantic moments that Rea loved, but the vulture discovered quickly this made her uncomfortable. After confiding in Jannet, the vulture discovered she was asexual.
=== Forming a Band ===
The longer she lived in the city, the less naive she would become about certain things and had become more sure of what she wanted. Marrow still wrote letters back home, but a change was coming to her life. After years of just doing gig work, Jannet came to her roommate with the idea of forming a band together. They put out ads searching for a guitarist for hire and only a young bassist named Teal applied. She knew a little guitar, though, and since the two older woman couldn't be picky they took her on.
Sooner or later all three would be hired by Gem, a bar owner who needed entertainment for the new establishment she opened. A year or so after, the condor would come back to them with the idea of them finding a permanent guitarist. At the time, Jannet had been stalking a woman who was a tenant at her and Rea's old apartment and it just so happened the woman was a guitarist. After an audition the vulture and the rest of the band would welcome the hawk on as their guitarist.
Recently, however, Rott has brought a Gryphon woman around the bar they play. One things for sure, Marrow does not trust this mythical creature at all.
== Personality ==
In spite of her intimidating looks, Marrow is actually a cool, calm and collected woman. It takes a lot to make her angry because she's used to dealing with a lot of problems and stress. The only way to get her truly angry is to mess with her friends or partners. She doesn't look it, but since raising a majority of her siblings to help her parents Marrow is a very nurturing and motherly. 
Marrow considers herself a hopeless romantic and has been for most of her life. Growing up in multi generational family, Marrow was partly influenced thanks to seeing how close her parents and grandparents were with each other. Marrow likes to be the doing the spoiling and heavy lifting in the relationship, however.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Marrow has a rare, but not so useful power - Bone Manipulation. Luckily she doesn't/can't control the bones inside a living person, but rather she can control fossils and pull large old bones far from under the earth to use at her disposal. This power is best used in sandy areas for the woman, but she has used it outside of beaches and deserts.
Marrow is also naturally strong and can easily take down most regular Mobians and Humans with ease (she is Octane Burnout's pseudo bouncer for a reason after all). As well she can lift up to 250 lbs with no help.
Lastly, while not exactly a combat ability, Marrow is an experienced drummer.
== Relationships ==
=== Romantic Interests ===
==== Orlando the Parrot ====
Marrow is utterly enamored with Orlando and vice versa. Ever since meeting him, Marrow had fallen deeply in love with how confident and loud the parrot is in comparison to her less loud demeanor. Likewise, the parrot finds her cute and loves how overly romantic the vulture can be.
