Bumble Bee and Bombardier (Brothers, NPCs)

Kiel was a young male blue jay with beautiful blue plumage. He was the familiar and companion to Aislin of Mhor. His story is ongoing. He was created and RP'd by Pakkuun.

## Personality

* ***Brazen but Courageous.*** Kiel, while quite smart, tends to let his courage get to him. Despite his small size, He has a tendency to speak up or act out when he really shouldn't. Due to being raised by wolves, this quality has only gotten worse. He enjoys playing pranks on his fellow Mhorians, but he does go to far on occasion and causes Aislin to have to clean up after him
* ***Loud but Endearing.*** While he can be horribly irritating at times, Kiel has his moments where he can be quite sweet. He enjoys sitting and chatting with the Mhorians that will tolerate him, and is actually quite interested in learning more about their faith.
* ***Energetic but Careless.*** While having the energy of the sun in his small body, Kiel tends to do things he really should think about first. He acts as if he doesn't really care about his personal safety and has been chastised several times by Aislin and others.

## Pre-Group History

Kiel was born to a tightly knit family, named Aphid at his hatching. He had two siblings, the older by a few days, Bombardier and a younger one by a day, Bumble Bee. Being the middle child, Kiel didn't feel like he got the same attention that his older, faster growing brother and helpless little brother got. Bombardier was the first to begin learning to fly. His flight feathers grew fairly fast, and within a few days had managed a few wobbly flights around their home tree.

He teased his younger siblings relentlessly about how strong and big he was growing, and his parents pampered him for it. Annoyed that his sibling was so much better, Aphid was determined to be better. One night, while his family slept, he decided to try learning how to fly on his own. Hed watched his brother closely and was fairly certain he could get it right.

Unfortunately he didn't understand the need for flight feathers, and his were only partially grown in. The minute he leaped into the air, he plummeted. He hadn't accounted for anything below him, and slammed into several branches on the way down. By the time he hit the rock at the base of the tree, he was already unconscious.

He laid there for a long time, one of his wings crooked and bleeding from several cuts and abrasions. He woke to something snuffling along the base of the tree, hidden behind the screen of brambles he'd fallen into. He froze in terror when he realized a fox had caught his scent and was trying to track him. It would have been successful, had his mother not started squawking in the tree above. The foxes attention turned to the tree, which it began scaling with almost no issue.

Aphid knew he should have called out a warning, but he was so terrified that the fox might come back for him. Instead, he struggled to his feat. His parents had taught him to run, to hide until the danger passed. Their squawks went from anger to terror when the fox made itself known. Too horrified to acknowledge what he'd done, he fled into the forest, dragging the broken wing behind him. He ran until exhaustion drove him to the ground, hiding in a bush and scraping a pile of leaves over himself in a sad attempt to hide.

There he would lay until someone found him, someone who cared.
