## Appearance

A mysterious red cloaked figure, with a pair of long feathery ears. The face seems to be a mask in which is able to show emotions only with a moving mouth that mimics the sounds made by the creature. The eyes often move and look into the same direction, but not always as they each almost seems to have minds of their own.

Purah's head can be turned 360 degree like an owl, hence many described the creature as "owl like". The cloak can be transformed into the wings to let Purah fly with ease, but we do not know how he actually looks like, as it seems that the emerald colored crystal he has on his chest is hiding his true appearance that not even him know what it's like.

When terribly angered, Purah's mask and appearance can really varies and never stays consistent, but one of the aspects you can observe is that the mouth on the face would disappear and he would go mute, only staring at you.

## Lore

### Purah's Backstory

Purah is an immortal being that occasionally goes through "Resets", in which he reverts back to a childlike form and mentality; similar to that of a Phoenix rebirth. He escaped to Earth from Above to avoid an unknown situation, but was not entirely successful in escaping.

When Purah was very small, he was found injured inside a dense forest by Carlos, who took him in and adopted him as his son as he felt a connection between them. He slowly grew up, and one day his father decided to leave the mountains to go find the best gift he could give to his son, promising that he will be back in 7 days. Purah was given a matching pocket watch by Carlos, named Dad (Carlos' is named Baby Owl).

Due to Purah's curse of forgetfulness, Purah could not keep track of the days properly, restarting to count from 1 every passing day. And Carlos, banished from above to the Nether for such long time, he didn't understand how time works in the Overworld. They both forgot, Purah did not question anything and Carlos got distracted. And so 10 or more years so passed.

Something has been trying to make Purah remember, but he doesn't understands who. Whenever he does remember anything, he would immediately forgets the next day as if inflicted with a curse. Currently he has been seen by a few asking people to sign soul contracts in exchange for objects, friendships and "protection" but from what, they have no clue. Purah when asked by the fireflies can not remember most of the time when and how he got the soul contracts, thinking there must be someone or something behind this.

### Marriage?

###### -From veileddamoth's Stream *Finding the shinies [Halloween SMP]*

After travelling for a little bit, Purah spots Buni hiding under some cover and goes to see what's going on. When he gets there, he finds out that Buni is hiding under cover to protect herself from the rain, since it hurts her.

Purah offers to help her out by getting rid of the rain whenever she wants with magic. In return, he asks for Buni's soul. He offers to give Buni more things as well for her soul, but Buni offers her heart instead of her soul. Purah thinks on it for a moment before accepting, but saying they need something more concrete than just words, hinting at maybe signing a book.

Buni suggests that they use rings with their names engraved, suggesting they get married to seal the deal. Purah seems wholly confused by the deal, not really understanding what marriage is, but agrees to marry anyway. After engraving and exchanging rings, Purah stops the rain and asks Buni what married people do. Buni tells him that they give each other gifts and just hang around each other.

After mentioning gifts, Purah gives Buni a block of netherite which surprises and flusters her, giving Purah an allium back saying that its the only thing she can offer. Purah leaves for a little while, to talk to her fireflies to see if they know what marriage is and to see whether they know whether it is like a contract. They tell her about how they've seen marriages in different worlds and how there are many different reasons to be married, but the most common reason is when two people like each other very much. It flusters Purah slightly since he doesn't really know Buni that well. After having a truly eye opening conversation with his fireflies, Purah returns to Buni to help her decorate the canopy she'd been hiding under when it was raining.
