Lonan

Lonan is one of the more recent villagers to show up, fooling around with their saxophone and trying to help their friends. There's a strange raptor, specifically a merlin, always following them around and screeching cryptic haikus, but that's normal. Probably. 
== Appearance ==
Lonan is 5'4, with short dark raven hair and blue bangs. Their eyes are gold-yellow, and they have a beauty mark right by their mouth, mingling with the small, vaguely star-shaped freckles on their face and wings. Their wings, one pair on his back and one on his head behind his pointed ears, are grackle (a type of blackbird) wings, starting off more purple, then blue, then black. They have talons rather than nails (that appeared not even a week into The Village), which they try to keep cropped as short as possible. He also has a tail, with a similar color scheme to their wings and a vaguely feathery look. 
Typically, you can see them walking around in a white dress shirt with a heart-shaped collar and an oversized orange sweater that hangs off one shoulder. Their pants are beige and with cargo pockets, and they have black boots. It also has fingerless gloves, and a necklace with a dried yellow flower petal. After a bit of time in The Village, they acquire shoulder armor. Also, around the same time, a small pair of baby antlers appear on their head? That's surely nothing. 
During the Sleepover, Lonan wears a gray tanktop and red plaid pants. The tanktop leaves the scars and night sky-like markings on their arms visible for everyone to see. The markings look similar to the appearance of their wings, except it's clear that they're from a different source. And they're spreading... 
== Personality ==
He's very selfless, always putting his friends' wants and needs before his own and feeling guilty and selfish when they need help, not wanting to disappoint or burden others. They try and solve their own problems in order to avoid getting others involved. They self-isolate in their house a lot. They're not good at comfort, though, leading them to offer flowers, apologies, and hugs to their friends almost constantly. It's not really a researcher, but likes to know things. They're very clingy, too, not wanting to be away from their belongings for too long. Lonan has the best intentions you'll ever see someone have... but they're poor at making decisions. 
== History ==
=== Pre-Village ===
Lonan doesn't remember much of its past, except that they spent a long time travelling around, with no real sense of how much time had passed. They were kicked out of multiple towns for reasons beyond their knowledge, and have had rotten tomatoes thrown at them more times than they can count. Memories of pitchforks and torches flash by, never staying in Lonan's mind long enough for them to fully ponder it. Maybe all the times he was kicked out was because of his saxophone playing, or some of the stealing they did. Also multiple counts of arson. But shhh, we don't talk about that. 
=== Arriving in The Village ===
Lonan appeared in The Village recently. Just... poof, and they were there. Lonan immediately set to settling in, as this seemed like a nice place and no one was coming after them. They built a house, met a little guy named Sunny, made some friends- fun stuff. He immediately took an interest in The Village and it's origins, and the theoretical exit. Also, helping their friends.

=== The End, and After ===
Lonan didn't go to the End with the rest of the villagers, due to health complications and self-isolation. Later, though, they were vibing with the other members of Bominous Bunnings over comms when Fal revealed that there was a book on Lonan in the Stronghold. Fal mentioned that the book described how Lonan wasn't their real name and that the people around them suffer untimely deaths.
Lonan proceeded to go "Okay," and ignored the information until a later date. 
A bit later, on one of the good days, Lonan set up a shop in the main part of the Village, mostly for the excessive amount of ender pearls they had acquired from the XP farm in the End (which they finally had the chance to visit). Later that same day, when trying to decide what else to do, Lonan remembered the book and set off looking for it. It had to be at the Archives, right? It didn't make sense that it would be anywhere else. 
Lonan didn't find the book. They had gone searching at the Archives for the book before it had been put in there, so right place as the wrong time. They didn't know this, of course, and proceeded to have a panic attack on the roof of the Archives. They didn't like not knowing things about themself while complete strangers probably did. It scared them. And who knew what else that book described? Just from what Fal had said, it wasn't anything good. And they didn't dare bother Fal asking for the book's location. So they went back home. 
=== What Now? ===
Things were only getting worse. Lonan had been sick for months, with very few days where they could manage to lift themself out of their nest. Even going outside on their roof was overstimulating. And it didn't help than they had sprouted a small pair of antlers on their head. Lonan was starting to freak out. What was happening to them? They couldn't control it, and they hated that. They didn't know why this was happening. Lonan couldn't do anything about it. So they remained in their house. 
=== Sunny's Letter ===
Lonan checked their mailbox one day, finding a letter addressed to them from Sunny. Sunny tells Lonan not to blame themself if she doesn't wake up (she's been in a coma for two weeks, which Lonan didn't know until then). Sunny says that this was going to happen no matter way, they were never meant to grow up. He requests that Lonan take care of her Azure Bluets that had bern left in the mailbox along with the letter, and thanks them for taking care of her and being their friend. Lonan automatically starts feeling guilty, for both not realizing what had been happening to her and also, in their mind, not even being that helpful.
