Any part of you that touches me, you don't get back.
Morgan is mischievous and loves knowing more than others about their own problems. He only trusts Coup, his sparrow Thread. He is especially wary of men. (more on that in his history)
He does not like physical confrontation or fighting, unless it is between two others. This he enjoys, very much. He has taken advanced self-defense classes. Morgan and Coup both enjoy spying on others to satisfy their hunger for "dirt" on others, and happen to be very good at it. He has a morbid/cynical sense of humor. Morgan likes the feel of being someone else and can slip easily between persona, which may change when he meets strangers.
small dagger- stolen from an antique shop
(no further equipment so I'll just describe Coup)
Coup: house sparrow, male

mental description: loyal to a fault, proud, easily offended (bad case of "little man syndrome" ^^), not very smart, impeccable memory
likes: Morgan, stealing, spying, french toast
dislikes: cages, bacon, wool
Morgan's mother died giving birth, which his father blamed him for.
Alex grew up in the care of his Aunt Sissy (mother's sister), and only saw his father rarely. Alex was, after the age of three, beaten and, after the age of six, raped every year on his birthday, the anniversary of his mother's death. Aunt Sissy was unaware of these annual atrocities. A month before his seventh birthday, Alex, as he was known at the time, ran away. He was brought back by the police, and beaten worse by his father on that day for his attempt to escape him.
The same happened every year. Alex learned from his escapes, and eventually turned to disguises. He learned that he could avoid detection longer as a girl because the police were searching for a boy. Alex became very good at disguising himself. And, a week before Alex would try for his tenth escape attempt, he gained the missing component for a successful escape: a partner.
On the night of the escape, Alex and Coup slipped out the window at night, only to be greeted by Alex's father. An argument and beating ensued. Fortunately for Alex, Aunt Sissy woke from the noise and came to investigate... with a revolver.
Long story short: Alex was sent away to STA, continued cross-dressing, and began going by his middle name instead of his father's. Alex Sr. was sent to prison for child abuse, and neglect.
