Dive the Kestrel

Dive, also known as Teal Jansky, is the bassist and secondary singer of Octane Burnout, being the youngest member of the band. 
== Looks and Attire ==
Dive is short in stature and has short hair stylized in a upward style on both of the sides of her face. She's rather colorful despite being a female bird (mostly because she dyes her head feathers) where her top head feathers are brown with the ones below being a light gray blue. There's light yellow around her eyes and underneath her eyes there's black and white stripes as well as more light yellow feathers. The rest of her body and tail are a light red brown with light yellow underbelly feathers and markings.
Dive tends to wear a a T-shirt with splashes of her favorite colors - white, yellow, turquoise, and orange - with or without her black jacket. She typically wears a light gray skirt with sky blue stockings and she tends to wear large black boots with yellow rims.
== Backstory ==
Dive, born as Teal, was originally born in Empire City to a young, but not so wealthy couple who was just starting out in the city as their only child. She was spoiled not much with items but with love from her parents when they weren't working to keep food on the table. She was often in and out of daycare or watched over by babysitters in the times they were.
Much of her life was as normal as Mobian's in the city could be. Going to kindergarten and playing with her peers and the like. She cemented herself as cheerful and friendly as early as she could remember, not letting much get to the kestrel. As she got older, her father took her to his work every once in while thanks to the bluebird being a concierge at one of the hotels in Empire City.
She saw many a famous celebrity and star every once and a while, but the ones that intrigued her the most were the bands that would room at her father's work place. She often watched them from afar and the idea of becoming a musician herself creeped into her head. Naturally if this was something she was passionate about her parents supported her 100% even if they couldn't afford to get her lessons.
Since her parents sadly didn't have the funds to assist, she instead looked towards the resources she did gave like her school and immediately got invested in music based curriculars. Though she wasn't talented at first with singing and instruments, she practiced as much as she could to get better for her passion's sake. 
She would eventually move onto high school where slowly but surely the kestrel's singing was getting better and her parents managed to get her a beat up bass. She naturally got a job when she became of age to further support her love of music, but soon she would find a different love. A boy a little older than Teal took an interest in her. His name was Pete and he fully pretended to be smitten with the girl, but really he just liked the idea of having a girlfriend and to him Teal was 'easy'.
Coming into a young adult and getting a few gigs of her own, more so for guitar and singing than her bassist ability, the bird believed she had it made. She had decided to skip college and immediately move in with her boyfriend. This would prove a bad move as one night a few months after they moved in together, Teal would find tg e canary with another woman in her apartment. More upset than angered, Teal cursed him out. She packed up her things and moved back with her parents briefly before realizing she needed a change.

== Personality ==
Dive is rather naive and very much a people pleaser as a young woman surrounded by friends who are a few years older than her. She's rather spunky and easily excitable, with the exceptions of times when she's more anxious or nervous. 
When wanting to prove herself, Dive can be rather determined and wants to prove herself a lot to her loved ones. Sometimes she needs to be told when to stop, but that doesn't guarantee she will.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Dive doesn't have many abilities (except her skills as a bassist and as a singer) and powers, but her most prominent ability would have to be her Dive Attack where Dive flies at high speeds up into the air and then falls back down 'diving' into her enemy. This is where Dive gets her name from.
Dive has very minor Electrokinesis, which she was gifted by Jayanthi. Though this form of Electrokinesis is very limited and only works during stormy weather otherwise she won't be able to use these powers at all. She can conjure lighting strikes with this power and generates a electrical shield around her body when she's running or (typically) flying fast.
== Relationships ==
=== Romantic Interests ===
==== Pete the Canary ====
Pete is Dive's ex from high school. They had a falling out when Pete cheated on her and she wants to forget about him. Sadly, now that she's a full time bassist he's become interested in her again.
==== Foster the Fox ====
Foster is Dive's current boyfriend. Though a few would consider their relationship weird, Dive really admires and loves Foster who thinks she's adorable and loves that the bird doesn't treat him as weird or obsess as hard as some of his fans.
=== Friends ===
==== Rott the Hawk ====
Rott is Dive's best friend and though the kestrel doesn't care too much for the older girl teasing her. Still, the twi get along very well and relate to each since both have lived rather sheltered lives.
==== Ripple the Heron ====
Ripple is a friend of Dive's. Though the two don't hang out that much, the two girls still like each other and get along rather well due to their shared love of the same type of music.
==== Marrow the Bearded Vulture ====
Marrow is another friend of Dive's, though the two don't hang out as much as Dive does with Ripple and Rott. Still, Dive feels like Marrow is the older sister the girl has never had.
==== Gem the Condor ====
Gem is Dive's boss while also a slight friend of Dive's. Dive likes Gem if only because Dive is the one band member that Gem is willing to go soft on, besides Dusk.
==== Altoros ====
Dive doesn't know too much about Altoros, but the machine is a rather kind and friendly automata so it's hard for Dive to justify not viewing the machine as a friend of hers.
==== Finley the Fox ====
Finley is Foster's twin brother. She only hangs around him when Foster wants to hang out with Finley (which is a lot since they're brothers) but Dive and Finley don't have too much in common so they just consider each other friendly.
==== Vaivora the Zebra ====
Vaivora is a friend of Dive's She gets along better with the zebra than Finley, though the two aren't that close. Vaivora considers her like a little sister and often tries to get the bird to model for her, but Dive doesn't care much for modeling.
==== Chuck the Pigeon ====
Though she hasn't seen Chuck years and the pigeon is close with Pete, Dive still considers Chuck a friend of hers since the pigeon was friendly with her and wouldn't stick up for Pete when he cheated on her.
==== Orlando the Parrot ====
Orlando is Marrow's boyfriend and Dive thinks he's nice enough despite the parrot and kestrel not hanging out unless Marrow is around.
==== Apollo the Wolf ====
Apollo lives with the band and since Dive is still a young woman she doesn't hang out much or do much with the android teen wolf.
=== Neutrals ===
==== Jayanthi the Gryphon ====
Dive doesn't know Jayanthi all to well and doesn't trust her that much. While the gryphon did give her powers, she doesn't know much more about the mysterious mythical creature.
==== Dusk the Owl ====
Dusk is a girl who sometimes plays violin for the band and is considered a member, but they don't hang out at all and isn't as close to her as the rest of the band.
==== Al the Cat ====
Though Al still is a friend of Rott, she only knows the bare minimum about the cat.
==== Dev the Dove ====
No longer an enemy of hers, Dive still doesn't trust him and doesn't know why Rott lets him live with them and still hang around.
=== Enemies ===
==== Authurius ====
Authurius is considered the main enemy of Jayanthi and Rott and though Dive has never met him and doesn't trust Jayanthi all to well, she still trust that Authurius is bad thanks to Jayanthi's siblings.
==== Jayanthi's Half-Siblings ====
Dive considers them enemies, but doesn't know much about them since they tend to get killed off by Rott immediately after showing themselves.
==== Enzo the Maine Coon ====
After dealing with the consequences of Enzo's constant robot hacks and attacks on the city she lives in, Dive can safely say he is her enemy.
== Weaknesses ==
Since she's a mortal, young girl, Dive has a lot weaknesses. One such is opponents much larger than her since Dive is only so fast and her Dive Attack isn't a strong against stronger and bigger opponents than ones that are smaller and weak. 
Another weakness deals with a weakness to Terrakinesis when Dive uses her Electrokinesis powers when she has them. When she doesn't have them, she's rather weak to Electrokinesis since it inhibits her from flying well.
