**San** is one of the main character of the Compass Project series, first appearing in Sirocco.

She is the elder sister of IO and lives in California in Yosemite Park.

## Appearance

Like IO, San has tanned skin, large red eyes and has feathers across her face, neck and shoulders. Her hair is much shorter than IO's is, only coming to her shoulders.

#### **Synth Features**

San has a different colouration to IO and has black and yellow-orange feathers covering her face and shoulders. She has extremely large wings that are primarily black, but have orange, red, and yellow markings, with some light black markings.

Her wings are featured on the cover of Sirocco.

## Personality

San initially comes off as extremely angry. Usually, this is because she is. However she is also stubborn, single-minded in what she wants, feirce, alert, and also smart.

She is also highly caring and passionate about protecting her sisters and anyone in her family. She gets angry with them but that is simply because she wants to make sure that they're safe and not in any trouble and would fly all the way from California just to check on them.

## History

San reveals that she grew up in Core with the rest of her sisters under the Sirocco Project where they were designed to be the best all rounder Avios. They have no one base but a medley of different designs to give them good endurance, flight speed, acceleration, lift, and agility in the air. A lot of this was then trained up after the Type-7's were revealed by Eve Mira since they were both her projects. Core was angry with this and so pushed for the Sirocco Sisters to go out into the field to show what they were capable of and how money wouldn't be wasted on having an improved Type-4 Avio.

### Sirocco.

San lives in California as that is where she was placed and stayed. She at some point adopted Turtle and visits him more regularly than his own family does.

## Abilities

**Strength**

San is exceptionally strong, being able to lift a branch/tree while flying and swing and fight with it.

**Flight**

San is an agile and fast flier, using her tail feathers to assist her agility and to act as a third wing to provide extra lift which inturn allows her to carry heavy objects while flying.

## Relationships

* IO

San can come off as being overbearing with her youngest sister, shouting and telling her what to do, and although it is not always the right way and leads to arguments between them, its because she loves and wants to protect her sister.

* Griffin

Initially hostile and wary of Griffin, she attacks Griffin almost immediately however once she calms down and the two have a chance to talk they begin to get along.

* Turtle

Her adopted grandparent (as adopted by San) who she came across during a wildfire after he tried to go back for his motorbike, she visits Turtle regularly.

## Trivia

* San's name means *three* or *Third Born*, but also means *sandpiper bird, lily*, and *rose*.
* San's wing pattern is loosely based off a combination of tiger-moths and wood ducks for their colours and their patterning.
