Eglantine Jr. (a.k.a Amare)

Eglantine Jr. / Amare is a character created by EglantineJR89 while doodling randomly in an art notebook.

## Description

Amare is a Snowy Owl rogue, belonging neither to the Pure Ones nor the Guardians. Not a kraal or a gadfeather. She has permanently singed feather tips (even after molt) and grey instead of black dappling. She doesn’t wear battle claws until Royln is fledged and ready to fly.

## Personality

Amare is a kind but extremely alert owl. Before becoming fully mature (and still having Royln as an egg), her eyes had a permanently worried look. She is not born intelligent, but gained her intelligence from talking to many creatures (including crows and seagulls). Young Amare is peaceful, and prefers to not let anyone die.

Mature Amare is slightly different. Amare learns that peace cannot solve everything and is willing to take up arms for anyone she loves.

## Family

* Glasica (mother)

## History

### Early Years

Unlike many other Snowy Owls of the Northern Kingdoms, Amare was born in a cozy little hollow in the Forest of green, a similar forest to the Ambala terrain. She had barely started branching when a forest fire struck her home and burned the forest down, while killing Amare’s parents, Glasica and Clade. Amare barely escaped with the just-laid egg and singed feathers using a mess of inexperienced branching and random flapping of wings.

Amare flew to a nearby forest, which was unnamed at the time. There, she learned how to peck out a nice little hollow from a woodpecker, and lived in it (while taking up the brooding job for the egg) until… Another forest fire had come to destroy her happiness.

After flying through a big heavy storm (nearly going kerplonken when she first saw lightning up close), she asked a lot of seagulls for directions of a safe, real estate. She was having no luck until she was mobbed by crows and spared by Quelt, who gave her directions to an abandoned ice castle. Amare lived in a castle watchtower for days, only going out to hunt. One day, a huge fight between the Northern Sea league and the GreenClad Owls broke out in front of the castle. Legend had said that if there was violence over the castle, the castle would start to melt. And it did.

Amare escaped narrowly just to find herself having to fly through another storm. Amare’s last and final real estate was the Foggy Canyon, which the hatching egg slipped from the cliff while Amare was trying to find materials for a nest. The canyon was filled with fog, which cleared only about once a year, so Amare didn’t have a chance to rescue the egg.

### Royln’s Hatching

Amare decided she’ll explore the area for any way to get down into the canyon without getting lost in the fog, when she saw her parents’ scrooms. Amare explained what happened (the dirty truth) and got her parents’ forgiveness. Later on, she finds out that the fog has cleared and decided to search the canyon for signs of the egg surviving. Amare’s attention was very quickly drawn by a little snowy owlet who claims that he is called Royln. They soon discover that they are from the same hollow. Royln tells that he had been stuck in the canyon for about two weeks.

### Later Years

Now Amare is fully mature. She and her fledging little brother Royln (from many years of living there) decide that living on the cliff wasn’t a good choice. So after a while of journeying from Foggy Canyon to The Beyond, to Silverveil, and finally, the Great Ga’Hoole tree. For being a rogue and loving the wild, Amare and Royln rejected the life at Ga’Hoole, but instead living in a large hollow in Sliverveil. Amare is now a slipgizzle for the guardians and a blacksmith if you need her.
