Full name: Liron Aldaine
Nickname/s: Lark, Shir, Shad
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Role: Spymaster (Feather)

Appearance, Human Form: Liron has dark brown hair that simply reaches the bottom of his earlobes. A few brown specked feathers are entwined along with the individual strands of hair, and fall in front of his eyes. These eyes are a hazel color and specked with a darker brown. They are naturally gentle, and slightly large compared to others, but when provoked harden almost imperceptibly. As he is a Feather, he’s gifted with a graceful stance, as well as an inhuman weight. However, upon moving, he seems to be awkward on ground. He’s lighter than most of his height, and reaches about 179 centimeters in height (5” 10’). However, his bones are all thin and fragile - easily seen through the thinness of his wrists and arms. With a blow, they will easily snap. His features can be described aquiline in form - a sharp nose and sharp cheekbones. There are also feathers in the nape of his neck, but these are far more downy, and also barred. Following these feathers downward, there is also a few clumps of brown feathers on his shoulders, but no where else. His legs are also thin, but not to the extent that his arms are.

He prefers to wear clothes of simple make and natural colors, such as brown, green, or blue. His clothing is usually chosen on the basis functionality rather than appearance. He tends to be quite neat with his apparel also.

Appearance, Animal Form: Liron turns into a Common Kestrel. He is one of the larger birds of his gender, with a wingspan of 83 cm (about 32 in) and a head to tail length of 40 cm (15 in). He weighs about 253 grams (9 oz). His plumage is a light chestnut brown with small blackish spots, if you look at him from above, and a paler brown with black streaks from the bottom. His wings are about the same color, but the tips are a black color. His head is a grey-blue color, as is his tail. The tip of his tail is also black, but there is a tad bit of white as well.

Liron has striking black eyes ringed with a bright yellow that seem to be studying everything that happens around him.

Skills: Liron possesses extraordinarily good eyesight that allows him to see details from quite far away. Also, the ability to fly when transformed as a kestrel is his, as well. He has fast reaction speed that comes from years of swooping down and picking up a meal. His voice is lyrical, and is said that his song can bring even the hardest-hearted person to tears, but no one has ever heard him sing yet. He possesses a skill with rhythm and pitch, and can play the violin and flute to a high skill level. He enjoys creating code, and has quite a few of his own creation. Also, tying into his role as the spymaster, he possesses a sort of quiet sureness. Also, as a last resort, he is quite a master at disguise, being able to act out very many people and personalities with ease. He is a fair liar as well, able to place on masks of various different people - which makes him a fair actor, as long as he keeps the person he’s pretending to be in mind. And as every spymaster knows, he also serves as an anti-intelligence person, and much of his time is dedicated to finding spies...

Weaknesses: Despite the strengths he has with his mind, his body is anything but. His bones are brittle and easily broken, causing him to be more of a liability than anything else in battle. He is also unable to concentrate on more than one thing at one time, and therefore, can be easily distracted. Venom/poison works on him a little too much, as his heart beats faster than most humans. His coordination on the ground isn’t the best either, as he has spent much of his life up to now as a kestrel.

Personality: Liron is a quiet individual who prefers to stay in the background of everything that he does. He has a sort of quiet sureness in his action, and has enough charisma to draw attention to himself whenever he talks or makes music. He is a solitary type of person, as kestrels are always on the wing - but still wants to work with others. His dedication to Cru is also something to be noted, his innate cowardliness is pushed to the side when Cru is in trouble - not that he would ever be. He joined Cru a long time back when he was trying to get away from the normal humans, who seemed set on destroying him. All he wants is a place where he can live as Feather without problems… and thus, he has put his allegiance in his hands. He prefers to stay in his kestrel form, as stumbling around really isn’t his style.

He is a coward at heart - at least when he’s a human. His weaknesses are simply a shield that he hides beneath when he has to put his life on the line. After all, being a spymaster means that you get to hide in the shadows right? In terms of physical battle, he will basically run away, as there is no way that he’ll end up winning - when he’s a human. As a kestrel, his speed and agility are fast enough, and at the very least, he can take on a mouse/rat with ease. Maos scare him to death - cats eat birds anyways… and so do Spinners, due to their venom.

Liron prefers gathering information to physical fighting, and therefore believes that information is the greatest weapon. He is a firm believer that everything is important, and will gather information on any topic that shares even the smallest connection to The Pack. He can be single-minded at times, and will follow any lead he has as far as it would lead him. He can slightly foolish and follow false leads with vigor, but with persistence, he’ll probably stumble on the right answer, right?

Brief History: He was put a child when his parents saw the tiny feathers that dotted his body, and they abandoned him accordingly. Luckily enough for him, he ended up turning into a kestrel, and therefore was able to survive. He spent three long years as a bird, before he went through a brief stint of trouble. He had strayed too close to one of the villages, and they, obviously, attacked him. He met Cru then... and then decided to join up with Cru - after all a world where he would be accepted was good enough for him. He is trying to find and infiltrate the legendary Pack, they are a threat to Cru's Pack and therefore himself.

As for rumors about him, little is known about him - from his real appearance to his name - strangely enough, his kestrel-form is pretty much known to all. However, the fact that he can be anywhere at anytime as a human, led to his nickname “Shad”, a short for shadow. He has been seen circling the city at strange intervals of time, and no one knows why… The truth is simply this - he wants to be doing something to scare others.
