The **Harpy Liminals** are cheerful, pure, and very friendly. They are migratory Liminals that embody the notion of freedom, going where they please, when they please. Being similar in nature to migratory birds, Harpies psychologically can’t stay in one place for very long. However, due to their air-headed personalities they more often then not forget about their "rules" and just do what they please.

## Physiology

The Harpy Liminal is a human-like female species yet the arms are placed with feathered wings and legs replaced with bird-like talons with small chest sizes.

The Harpy Liminal have a clawed, opposable digit on the joint of each wing, and the wing at the joint has a "palm" which can curl to some small degree. This allows for gripping of objects, but these improvised grabbers are nowhere near as dexterous as true hands. Since all Harpy Liminals hatch from eggs, there's a possibility that the clawed opposable digits served to help them crack the inside of their eggshells (pipping) when they hatch as Harpy Liminals don't have beaks like traditional birds do. Since they don't have hands, one might think daily life would be rather inconvenient; however, their talons and the claws on their wings are sufficient for most tasks.

The Harpy Liminals are among the lightest of the Liminal races because of their hollow bones. Even when in adulthood, Harpy Liminals have petite (childlike) bodies, averaging between 140 cm (4'6") and 157cm (5' 2") in height. These help the Harpy Liminals fly through the air and prevent wing drag. However, since they have poor night vision, they don't fly at night. Like birds, the Harpy Liminal can't discern glass walls, windows and doors and will actively fly into them while trying to get inside a house.

Some Harpy Liminals lay 2-3 eggs a week. Yet there is a great size difference between a fertilized egg and an unfertilized egg. Unlike most Liminal races, they do not simply abduct men for the purpose. Rather, they travel about and find men before returning to the village to lay their eggs after mating, sometimes even finding multiple partners in a single outing to encourage genetic diversity. Despite this, some Harpy Liminals will occasionally choose a mate for life, and will either move to be with them or else continually return when their migration routes bring them back around. As a mono-gendered race, they seek out men in order to ensure their species' survival.

Some Harpy Liminals are omnivorous that will eat whatever food they can find. Some, however, are more carnivorous. It actually depends on how much food they can get in the local area. If meat is plentiful, they will be carnivorous. If meat is scarce, they have to resort to eating any plants and mushrooms they can find. They can be picky at times but have to adapt to survive.

They do sing but they would only sing with other Harpy Liminals and other Harpy races.

## Pre-Apocalypse

Many of the Harpy Liminals live in forests and mountainsides as they migrate through the skies. When in Japan though, they have to stay with their assigned home and homestead family due to the Interspecies Exchange Bill. But do to their air-headedness and instinct to migrate, they don't stay for long unless they have found a mate for life. While in the psyche multiverse, they have been migrating to different worlds where they can fly as much as they can, continue their traditions of mating, and live off the land pending on the seasons. However, they still prefer to live on worlds with seasons, forests, fertile mountains and places with plenty of game to feed on.

Some of the Harpy Liminals sell their unfertilized eggs to Lamias in exchange for meat or materials needed for nesting.

## Post Apocalypse

After the apocalypse, many made their way to the real universe with many able to fly on planets of their choosing. Some continue to migrate from place to place as they have done before. Yet the majority of them have settled with their husbands in certain areas. The Harpy Liminals continue to live as they always have even after migrating to our reality.
