Name: Aoi Hane

Age: Died at 18

Gender: Male

Role: Bird Spirit

Personality: A kind but arrogant spirit, Aoi is curious and energetic, usually to the point it annoys some humans when he's in bird form. Always able to find a silver lining in the darkest of clouds, it's hard not to smile around him.

History: Aoi was the son of the fishing village's craftsman long ago. At a young age, he was ready, willing, and able to learn his father's trade and take over when it was his time. Half a year after his eighteenth birthday, his father well into his winter years and he himself ready to take over the business, disaster struck. Aoi decided to test a boat he'd crafted on the great lake, going out far enough to loose the shore. The boat suddenly sprung a leak, sinking it in minutes. Aoi tried desperately to swim to shore, but he drowned long before he caught sight of land. When he opened his eyes again, he was an owl spirit, ready to live a new life as he was.
