Runner

Mist Runner, more commonly known as Runner, is a minor character on the Afterglow SMP.
They appear very similar to a penguin but insist they are anything but.
==Physiology==
===Appearance===
Runner appears as a blue humanoid avian creature standing at roughly 4'8". They share a number of similarities to penguins but aren't one directly.
They commonly wear a red hoodie, black pants and a black hat dawned with a red and blue pin.
==Personality==
Runner acts a little less seriously than most, offering random items to others and holding close gifts given to them. Their vocabulary is minimal due to their supposed only "2/5ths of a language" known. They also seemingly don't speak, or at minimum are very quiet getting little reply from others during their proper introduction during season 3. They seemingly aren't attached to one group or another, nor are they strictly lone in their allegiances.
== History ==
Little is known about Runner's past, and little has been shown of their presence on the server.
===Season 2===
Runner originally appeared during the second to last episode of season 2, using multiple magical techniques to bring in an unexpected entrance. They disappeared after claiming they had to attend a "Dennis appointment."
===Season 3===
Runner appeared in the circle along with multiple other characters and joined the groups to be part of a group. Not many recognized them from the previous sighting, but they seemingly didn't have any memory of the others either.
Runner then hosted a (possibly non-canonical) Christmas party at the community house that Manta and them built. They gave out presents and ran the bar before disappearing into their room to write in a mysterious book, with Manta hinting at the importance of Runner's pets.
== Relationships ==
Name 	Status 	Quote 	Notes
Phoenix	Neutral 	"im sceptical of you lady bird..." 	Runner seems to be very against other avian creatures and with Phoenix being a harpy (only half avian in Runner's eyes) it makes them question her.
Manta 	Positive	"they aren't that bad of an avian, also they help me make the funny juice"	Runner originally weary of Manta, but after Manta expressing their hatred of lower avians, Runner trusted them more. Eventually runner and Manta began to make wine together, reinforcing their friendship.
Nix 	Neutral 	"knowing my name is enough for me to trust em" 	Nyx being the leader of the "Circle" group that Runner initially met up with was seemingly enough for Nyx to be put up higher on Runner's trust list.
