Jackdaw

* Standard
* Fancy
* Masquerade

[Introduction]

### Physiology

Jackdaw is mostly humanoid in appearance and physiology, except for a pair of small feathered wings. She usually hides her wings under a teal shawl. She has brown eyes and short, brown hair. She wears a brown long-sleeved shirt underneath a cream and blue shirt. A nether star broach holds her shawl together, and her pants are maroon.

She does not eat meat (with the exception of fish), but this is implied to be a personal preference rather than an innate dietary restriction. Likewise, she has an extreme aversion to water, but has described it as "more of a me thing" than anything related to her species.

### Personality

Jackdaw is anxious and survival-minded, often spending days and even weeks farming resources at one of their numerous survival bases. They go to great lengths to protect their valuables and conceal the full extent of their resources.

The inexplicable, nonsensical chaos of Haven is extremely frustrating to Jackdaw, as their plans rely heavily on concrete knowledge and predictable systems. They have expressed similar anxiety over their void-redacted memories, since if nothing else, they at least want to be able to understand themself.

Jackdaw maintains a carefully crafted persona (or, perhaps more accurately, a catalogue of overlapping personae) that they employ in social situations. Their default manner with strangers is warm, friendly, and meticulously inoffensive, but as they get to know someone, they further tailor their demeanor to mirror and complement their conversation partner.

Beneath the surface, their affability belies a deep mistrust for the world around them. Initially, they resist sharing important resources with other Havenites, and they actively work to hide the existence of any villagers they discover.

Since then, Jackdaw's strategy has evolved into something more subtle, as she opens the Fantasy Costco next to the village and provides magical resources to the rest of the server. Crucially, her goal is to ensure that people remain reliant on *her* for those resources, and that she can control who has access to the most dangerous weapons.

### History

#### Pre-Haven

Jackdaw has described her childhood home as a rural, agrarian server with relatively limited technology. She lived with her parents and her older brother, Morrigan, alongside a community of fellow avians.

Jackdaw retains very few memories of the interim between her childhood and Haven, beyond the fact that she lived and worked with her brother. Gawain remembers Jackdaw telling them that her home world was called the Palisades, though Jackdaw has no memory of this.

In Jackdaw's ender chest, she found a book documenting strange seismic and geothermal activity in the ocean of the Palisades. The book's text was heavily corrupted, but made references to a potential "apocalyptic event" if further action was not taken. Jackdaw is confident she has never worked as a scientist, and does not know how or why she obtained the book.

#### Haven

Jackdaw first wakes up in a tundra biome roughly 1400 blocks from world spawn, with no supplies or resources beyond the dilapidated shell of a log cabin. They struggle to obtain food, spending their first several days grinding desperately for bone meal in an attempt to grow crops. Eventually, however, they establish a functional base, rebuilding the cabin and expanding the island to accommodate a large wheat farm.

Upon crafting a compass to aid in exploring the nearby area, Jackdaw realises that the compass did not point toward their cabin. Instead, it points toward an undetermined point to the east. After some internal debate, Jackdaw follows the compass to the spawn village, where they meet Moth, August, and STARS. Jackdaw brings Moth back toward the tundra to obtain some goats, but while trying to find navigable paths, the two of them stumble across an abandoned, shattered village. The windows are all boarded up, and one of the lower islands contains a poisoned potato farm, where it seems as though the residents of the village were trying and failing to grow anything edible.

### Relationships

Jackdaw works to maintain positive relationships with everyone she meets, but privately holds deep suspicion of the people around her. Even when faced with consistent kindness and generosity, she maintains that among all the residents of Haven, there's bound to be *someone* with ill intentions.

### Pets

Rosebud: A pink sheep frequently referred to as Lore Sheep or "Leep" due to its mysterious origins. Jackdaw found the sheep tied to a fence next to her front porch, with a short note instructing her to take care of the sheep, as it now belongs to her. Rosebud currently lives in the animal pasture to the south of her cabin, as a designated companion for Son Boy.

Son Boy: A pig that Jackdaw found near the famine village. She transported him to her base off camera, and he currently lives in the animal pasture with Rosebud. He was Jackdaw's first pet to be formally named with a nametag.

Sheeb (deceased): A sheep that appeared one day inside the Fantasy Costco without explanation. Jackdaw kept Sheeb on a lead in front of the store, and frequently dyed the sheep different colours. Sheeb died off-camera, as collateral of an ill-timed bow fight between Jackdaw and a skeleton. Sheeb's mutton was eaten by August, and its wool is currently on display in an item frame inside the Fantasy Costco.

### Trivia

* Jackdaw enjoys tinkering with redstone, and has built an automated super-smelter in the Fantasy Costco for community use.
