Kodaibito

Name: Kodaibito 
Notes: An ancient species of winged humanoids, the Kodaibito are a second evolution of the same body form as the Fenghuang. Evolved naturally, the Kodaibito ruled the skies of pre-historic Rayearth while the Panthalassans and both shared the land.
Though winged and capable of flight, the Kodaibito have never shown the same aerial maneuverability as the Fenghuang, Fairies, Cubi, and others. Known for their very loving and forgiving behavior. Long lived, but not to the extent of the Fenghuang, the Kodaibito have been known to use stasis technology to extend their lifespans, making working out an actual length of life for modern Kodaibito as next to impossible.
Though they tried to stay out of things when the Panthalassan civil war began to ravage the planet, the Kodaibito were unfortunately sucked into it. While the majority tried to stay as far away from the ocean as possible, the drifting of the continents over the generations made that harder and harder as there was no more and more coastline. As such, their peaceful nature caused it to break their hearts to see their old friends fighting amongst themselves to the death like this. This caused a number to just give up and die.
When the meteorite that caused the chain reaction that led to the extinction of the large saurians, known as dinosaurs, on Rayearth, the declining Kodaibito population was hard hit. Nearly wiped out themselves, those that remained were forced to abandon their ancient way of life. When humans evolved on the planet, the Kodaibito found themselves hard pressed and unable to properly compete for what they needed to survive. Eventually, those Kodaibito that were left decided to depart from the planet, at least temporarily, to allow the young human species a chance to live while they recovered as well.
It was after Rayearth became a part of the Zodiac Empire that the Kodaibito returned. Surprised to learn of recent events, they were unsure what to make of the Zodiac Empire at first, though they easily proved a genetic link to the planet. Cautiously, seeing as the Zodiac Empire allowed them a larger number of worlds to spread out their still recovering population, the agreed to membership.
