==Description==
Farishta is a caramel brown EdenWing with black, red, and olive accents. Prehensile black-and-tan-patterned feathers hang down around her head and drift leisurely in the air. Her eyes are a deep, kindly shade of brown, with near imperceptible slits. She is tall and lanky, and not vibrantly colored but rather muted, unlike how EdenWings are supposed to be. Her talons are also delicate but dextrous, being practiced and fit for handling musical instruments (i.e. drumsticks; she's primarily a percussionist but can do vocals)
Sharply dressed but fashionably nerdy, she wears a sage green adventurer's hat and matching jacket. The hat is almost inseparable from her and very important to her wardrobe. She has a singular silver stud on the side of her wedge-shaped snout, a small silver tag that hangs from her neck, and a high-cinched belt on her waist. For special missions, she wears a backpack between her wings containing the gear mandated by Eden's Warriors, plus an additional mace strapped to it.
She plays the drums in the band Crux of Cremation with her romantic interest Grace-Pitch, who she invited to join. As of being resurrected from the Spirit World, she is the new Muse / Moss Emerald after Grace.
==Personality==
Full of snark and ride-or-die loyal, Farishta is theatrical yet serious. She makes for an astute detective, even without her natural EdenWing skills, with so much lore and knowledge in her head that her deductions and speculations (rambling as they may be) are an endless source of entertainment and help. She'll jump at any opportunity to talk about mythology or YA fiction. One might say she is extroverted, or at least her communication skills are passably extroverted. Bright and good-humored, she is true to herself and genuine.
In spite of her enthusiasm, she is a very capable adult dragon: smooth at making living arrangements, generally keeping a clean living space, masterminding and providing for her other friends. She is also a student enrolled in higher education on top of these responsibilities, having graduated from JMA with Grace-Pitch and continuing her studies even after Grace dropped out. She is prone to the occasional reactionary moment, and can be guarded or wary, but for the most part she's tolerant and tags along despite the weirdness of the situation after Moss Emerald's death.
As perceptive and visibly queer as Farishta is, even with literal sensory feathers on her body, she ironically is quite dense at reading her roommate. She shows trepidation in romantic endeavors and is not very forthcoming about her feelings for Grace-Pitch, being scared to lose her and quick to throw everything away for her.
==Abilities==
Like most EdenWings, Farishta is covered in undulating feathers that can detect and track invisible movements such as sound waves or energy emissions. She also has a toxic claw that rotates out from her feet.
She is gifted the spirit of Moss Emerald, a MortarWing god, after Grace gives it up to save her from the Spirit Veil. (The MortarWings don't really believe in an afterlife, but due to unusual circumstances, Farishta ends up being trapped in a veil-like world by malevolent fate spirits.) This gift grants her the power to start musical numbers during emotional moments, but also means that Grace's burdens (i.e. the trial) are thrust upon her.
==Relationships==
*Grace-Pitch - dude she is so gay for her
*Kelpie - She doesn't trust or like Kelpie. She may feel threatened or jealous, as she initially thinks he's one of Grace-Pitch's hookups, but he is also rather shifty and unclear in motivation.
*The Wolf Lord - Willing to put herself at risk in front of the Wolf Lord for Grace's sake.
*Fidelias - The two of them have tea together and talk about books. Even if Fidelias is rather stiff, and doesn't see the point of many fictions, Farishta is patient with her.
==Trivia==
*She is inspired by Freddie from Stray Gods (a video game by Summerfall Studios)
*Farishta is Freddie's canonical given name and means "angel" in Persian.
