Profile

Name: benu (베누)

Age: 3600+

Gender: Female

Risk Level: C

Kingdom-Genus-Species=Mythical Creature-Harpy-single species "Benu"

Nationality: Noord-Afrika

Native language: Ancient Egyptian

Backstory: An ancient Mythical Creature whose existence has been recorded since the New Kingdom era of Ancient Egypt. She is famous for appearing rarely in the Memphis area, staring blankly at humans from a distance, and disappearing if approached. She is so elusive that one might be lucky to encounter her even once in a lifetime, and there's a story that meeting her brings good fortune. Apart from the publicly known stories, she actually likes humans but is just too shy to approach other creatures, so she is content with watching from afar. Having lived for a long time, she has also influenced human history. In particular, she is said to have been a close friend of Hatshepsut, a pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Egypt. It is highly probable that she assisted with Hatshepsut's achievements.

Physical Characteristics

Core Traits: Harpy, copper-colored skin, flight ability, heron, extremely long-lived species

Height: 144cm

Hair: Dark gray short hair

Eyes: Black eyes

Chest: A-cup

Body: For smooth flight, she has a constitution that doesn't gain weight easily, so she is thin. Like a bird, her bones are hollow, making her body frail. In exchange, she displays extremely fast movements, and her flying ability is among the highest of the Mythical Creatures, so she lives without major problems. Unlike other long-lived Mythical Creature species, she is an exceptionally long-lived species; at 3600 years old, she is still only about 13 in human years. She herself doesn't remember due to her age, but it is highly likely that the Egyptian god "Thoth" was involved when she was born as "Benu."

Body parts: As a trait of the harpy species, instead of human arms and legs, she has the wings and legs of a heron covered in dark gray feathers, and also has tail feathers. Inside her wings, there are hands resembling a bird's talons that are not visible unless taken out. While not perfect, they can be used like human hands.

Mental Characteristics

Core Traits: Timid, heron, high affinity for humans, extremely long-lived species

Overall Personality: She is full of desire to befriend humans, but is so scared of people approaching that she quickly runs away, showing her timid personality. Her heron-like appearance is a result of convergent evolution, and her habits are similar; she mainly hunts and eats fish but also likes frogs. Despite her long life, her mental age is still at the level of an elementary school student, so she often shows childlike aspects.

Details: -She affectionately calls Hatshepsut "Hat" (하트) and shows her a great deal of affection. -She strongly believes that her friend Hatshepsut is not yet dead. This is because Hatshepsut, fearing Benu would be sad if she died, told her she was going on a journey when her body grew weak and quietly passed away without Benu knowing. Benu thinks she simply hasn't returned from her journey yet. -Her hobby is human observation; she stands still from a distance and stares at her human subjects with a blank expression. That's why all photos taken of her are expressionless, but she is actually a very expressive girl. The reason she insists on a blank expression is that she still follows Hatshepsut's advice that it makes her look cool. -She cannot speak modern languages well. She has a big dream of learning Arabic, the common language of modern Egypt, and English, the global common language, to approach humans, but she has no one to teach her. All she can do is learn by reading discarded books, so she speaks at the level of a child first learning a language. -She writes what she wants to say to people on papyrus. She writes letters very well with her bird-talon-like hands, but because she writes in Egyptian hieroglyphs, ordinary people cannot decipher it. Egyptologists often interpret the papyri she leaves behind, but the content is usually trivial chatter like, "I ate a Nile perch today, it was delicious! You should try it too!" or "A crocodile laid eggs on the riverbank over there!" so not many people try to translate them. They are, however, said to be sold to Mythical Creature scholars for a high price. -She has a strange hobby of spending time riding on the backs of hippos. She has been doing this for so long that it's as if it's engraved in the hippos' genes that she is not dangerous or a nuisance, so strangely, they do not attack her. -There is a rumor that her dwelling is in a swamp somewhere in the Memphis area, the territory of the Mythical Creatures, but even other Mythical Creatures do not know exactly where she lives. -Although she has a constitution that doesn't gain weight, she eats a considerable amount, devouring 3-4 Nile perch a day. Similar to a heron, she has a habit of swallowing her food whole without chewing. -She is called the Phoenix of Egypt, but she is a Mythical Creature largely unrelated to the Phoenix. If anything, she is closer to the harpies, and the only commonality with the Phoenix is that it is also an extremely long-lived species. -She has memorized the contents of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. She was so happy that her name appeared in human culture that she started collecting the Book of the Dead. Likewise, she gifted a copy of the Book of the Dead to Ammit, another Mythical Creature who appears in it, as a gesture of friendship. However, Ammit was apparently angry, thinking she had stolen an item belonging to the deceased. -Her walk is extremely elegant. She walks with a gait similar to that of a human model, but it is said to be instinctive, not conscious. -She has a habit of crying out loudly at the Nile River just before dawn. The ancient Egyptians believed this was Benu announcing that the god Ra-Amun had won his battle against Apophis. -Benu, unlike other single species Mythical Creatures, is a mutation born from an egg laid by a harpy. An unknown Egyptian god laid an egg with a female harpy, and she was born from it. Therefore, she is taxonomically classified as a harpy.

Sexual Characteristics

Breeding method: Oviparous

-Has no libido whatsoever and does not clearly distinguish between male and female. -Reproduction is possible, but when the egg hatches, a normal harpy is born that does not resemble Benu's features at all.

Social Characteristics

Soul of Ra: The ancient Egyptians believed Benu was the manifestation of the soul of Ra-Amun. Perhaps because of this, she was considered even more sacred in ancient times than she is now, and Benu is the background reason for Hatshepsut's title indicating her union with the god Amun. She is also related to Egyptian mythology and strongly dislikes the Mythical Creature Apophis for ecological reasons.

Combat Abilities

She has no special abilities, nor is she strong, so her combat ability is weak for a single species Mythical Creature. However, she is closely related to a god. Although it's not well known and she can't control it, she can wield a part of Thoth's power, so messing with her is not a good choice.

Outfits

She wears a black sleeveless dress and a gold usekh collar, and wears a frilled hairband on her head. She possesses various gold accessories made in the ancient Egyptian era. She sometimes attaches decorative ears modeled after Anubis's ears to her hairband.

Other Information

Speech Patterns: Because she cannot speak modern languages properly, she communicates in short, simple answers and uses the speech patterns of a cute, timid girl. However, she handle ancient Egyptian and hieroglyphics with great fluency and can express quite difficult concepts when writing them down.
