Owl (UK)

Owl is a masked celebrity contestant on the fifth season of The Masked Singer UK.
==Appearance==
Owl is a Northern Saw-Whet owl, who dons a red schoolboy uniform, alongside over the knee socks and brown shoes, the latter which is ruffled in feathers and with her claw nails sticking out.
==Personality Traits==
Owl is incredibly intelligent and well-read, with a thirst for knowledge that never seems to be quenched. She has a sharp mind and a quick wit, which often makes her the life of the party. Despite her serious appearance, she has a fun-loving and adventurous spirit, always up for trying new things and exploring new ideas. She is fiercely independent and has a strong sense of self, never letting anyone sway her beliefs or opinions.
==Background==
Owl comes from a long line of educated and successful owls. Her parents, both renowned professors, instilled a love for learning in Owl from a young age. She grew up surrounded by books and spent most of her free time reading and absorbing as much knowledge as she could. However, she always felt like she didn't quite fit into the academic world, and instead, she explored her creative side through fashion and music.
==Fun Facts About Her==
# Owl owns the biggest collection of notebooks, each filled with her thoughts, theories, and ideas.
# She is a huge fan of The Masked Singer and has never missed an episode.
# During The Masked Singer Zoom Calls Series 5 Episode 4, she went wild when Air Fryer hit the high notes during the group performance of One Direction's 'Live While We're Young'.
# When Air Fryer performed Europe's 'The Final Countdown', Owl took off her jacket and spun it around her head, showing her wild and carefree side.
# Despite her usual introverted nature, she let loose and joined in on the headbanging with Bubble Tea, Eiffel Tower, and Mirrorball during Air Fryer's performance.
# Owl's love for music and her extensive knowledge of various artists and genres helped her correctly guess that Julia Sawalha was Bubble Tea, much to the surprise of Air Fryer, Eiffel Tower, and Piranha.

Week	Clue
2 	"Hello. Owl's the name, double trouble's the game. Owls, solid creatures, right? Well, not me. Hoo! Think again, 'cause I'm a night owl me. For proper nocturnal, real popular too, tons of mates, 9, 10, 11. Serious kit? Well, it takes an owl's eye to make it look so right. Tonight's gonna be a big hoot, but you know, the performance. I hope it's better last time. Rules are crossed, but will this beak peek too soon?"
4 	"Last week's performance flew by. What a hoot was confusing the panel. Twit twoo, they haven't got a clue. I've got you on my side, right? So I love to stir things up. Us owls love to swoop into every area. Shhh! Keep your beak shut. Because owls are real wise and everything, I could have been like a spy or something cool. I'm showing off, wait! Tonight's all about showing off, and I'm ready. Get me hooting and tooting onto that stage!"
5 	"My performance last week was a dream. The panel went "owl" with their guesses. But have they worked out who I am? Being a night owl, Fridays became flight night. Being nocturnal don't mean sleep all day though. You don't become, how should I say it, an icon by being a lazy owl. We're silent creatures, well, not me. No way. But I'm bringing the noise for tonight's performance. My head's in a spin. Want another, guys?"

==Trivia==
*Owl's walk-in song ("Who Are You" by The Who) was also the theme song for most versions of The Masked Singer.
*Davina previously guessed Lorraine to be Prawn Cocktail in season 2 of The Masked Dancer.
*Piranha was so convinced that Owl was Alex Scott that he stated that he would spend the next zoom call without his pajamas if she wasn't. When she was revealed to be Lorraine Kelly, Piranha proceeded to start taking off his pajamas, while Eiffel Tower, Dippy Egg, Cricket, Owl, Bigfoot, Air Fryer, and Maypole chant at him to “take it off”.
**Piranha would later go on to wear a blob t-shirt for the sixth zoom call.
*Lorraine Kelly would eventually become a guest panelist in the seventh episode of the same season, two episodes after her unmasking.
