Hala

Balduin and Dante (Brothers, NPCs)

Hala was a brown-and-white osprey, who served as the familiar and companion to Berengar of Fellfang. Her story is ongoing alongside his. Hala was created and RP'd by Pakkuun.

## Personality

* ***Vocal.*** Never one to not state her opinion, she makes for quite the conversational companion when she refuses to shut up until her point is made and accepted. She has been known to be just a bit petty when ignored or told no.
* ***Curious***. Curiosity killed the cat, as they say, or in this birds case, the Osprey. Hala has an insatiable curiosity, always looking to learn something new and often times finding herself getting into trouble for it. It has however, taught her how to get out of a sticky situation with ease, and has turned her into a masterful escape artist and strategist.
* ***Intelligent.*** On top of her curiosity, Hala is incredibly smart. She’s been known to talk circles around lesser creatures, and enjoys engaging in social interactions with those of high minds. Wolves are one such creature she will happily indulge in chattering with, and the smarter the better.
* ***Selfless***. From the moment she hatched first, Hala has always been the one to put her neck out when it came to her siblings. She was the first to leap from the tree to fly, she was the first to dive into the ocean in search of prey, and she was the first to insert herself into the conflicts of wolves. Every act she has made in her life has been for the ones she loves, taking the head long leap into the known and risking her own neck to find out first hand what dangers may await.

## Pre-Group History

Laid amongst a clutch of three eggs, Hala was the first to hatch. Of all her siblings, she was the largest, and tended to preen with pride at the knowledge. Her parents were dotting, deeply bonded Osprey, who had nested in the location of their birth for as long as they’d been together.

Elke had been born and raised fishing the coasts far to the west, but when he’d finally come of age to leave his parents safe nest, he set out in search of adventure. In his travels, he met a young Osprey name Sera, close in age with himself. The pair became quite smitten with one another, and chose to settle down in the area that she had been raised in. Settling just west of where wolves would denote the land as Aefinlight strond, Hala, Balduin, and Dante were their first clutch of eggs after nesting together for two years prior.

They cared well for their little ones, and raised them into strong, intelligent young Osprey.

At first, their lives were easy. Hala was the first to leave the nest, but unlike her father who’d set out on adventure the moment he knew he was strong enough to do so, she chose to remain in the local area. Balduin and Dante remained until they were four years old, and then set out find their own territory and make their own families.

At first, Hala believed she might do the same, but her curiosities of the sea faring wolves her family had nested near was to great. She stuck around, watching, hardly interacting, and learned.

She was there when the Hive began to arrive, watched as the land fell into chaos, and felt horror when she learned of Fellfang’s trapping on their Island to the North of her nesting location. Pity for the trapped wolves sat heavy in her heart, and anger for the corruption of the malignant, crude beasts known as the Hive ruffled her feathers. Even if they could not corrupt the oceans, what was to stop them from running what was left of the land she’d always called home?

The anger festered, until the day more wolves arrived. They came in droves, and it was clear that their intentions were war. Hala hardly had to think on the matter, the pained, wrathful howls carrying far on the wind, even when she slipped out to sea for fresh meat.

She couldn’t leave the Fellfangir and their allies alone in this, even if she was simply one seafaring bird.

She would help, in any way she could.
