Miror Byrd

**Basil**, more commonly known by his stage name **Miror Byrd**, is an Oricorio who serves as Lil Dude's dance teacher. His style of dyed feathers and sunglasses bears a striking resemblance to that of the Orre dance star, Miror B.

## Personality

Miror Byrd is loud and flamboyant, and puts great pride in his abilities as a dancer. Even when not performing, he tends to be bouncy and rhythmic in his movements. Though it takes quite a bit to break his cheerful mood, when it does finally break, his bright chirps and smooth moves immediately dissolve into furious screeching and violent flapping.

## History

### Early Life

Basil hatched deep within Poni Meadow, a day before his sister. He and his family were all Sensu Oricorio at the time. His chickhood was loving and happy, though his sister didn't always understand why he was so fascinated by humans.

### Speculation

Basil became fascinated by humans not long after he learned to fly. He felt he could understand them more than most Pokémon could. It was almost easy for him to pick up some of their language, and he learned to mimic and almost communicate, like a Chatot.

With his connection to humans, his Ghost-Typing, and Sensu Oricorio connection to the dead, Basil began to wonder if he had been human in a past life.

### Miror Byrd

After learning of the missing Orre dance star, Miror B., Basil became convinced that Miror B. had passed away and that Basil was his reincarnation. As such, he began pouring all of his heart into dance, even moreso than an Oricorio's usual love of dance. He decided to become a performer, and dance for Pokémon all over Alola.

He took on the stage name Miror Byrd, and eventually started dancing for humans as well. His most common venue is Chichi's Place, a restaurant in Maunaka Town, Alola. His presence has become such a beloved staple of the place that a small stage was erected for him inside. Miror Byrd absolutely adores the fame and love that his audiences give.

### Miror B.'s Return

As was most of the world, Basil was absolutely shocked when news broke out of Miror B.'s return to the stage. Unlike most, though, the reappearance of Miror B. caused Basil to deeply question everything about himself. So long had he been convinced of being Miror B.'s reincarnation that he didn't know who he was without it. Distraught, but refusing to give up hope, he hesitantly decided to attend one of Miror B.'s concerts in Galar.

Basil accompanied some Team Prism members, including his pupil, Lil Dude, to the Wyndon concert on July 31st, 2021. While there, he scrutinized the performance quite carefully...
