Backstory

Tulli was born in a secluded forest community of Meleagrid Harpies—gentle, prey-like harpies often mistaken for monsters or food by hunters and carnivores. Because her subspecies is smaller and harmless, they spent generations hiding from predators.

Tulli was the smallest and most nervous of her flock. As a chick, she was accidentally chased by a human hunter who mistook her for an actual turkey. Since then, she has developed a deep fear of being cooked, hunted, or “prepared for a feast.”

Her flock eventually scattered when their territory was overtaken by a larger (probably magical beast). Tulli survived only because she hid inside hollow logs or under leaves for days at a time.

Eventually, she wandered into civilization—terrified, exhausted, hungry, and convinced everything wanted to eat her. Surprisingly, people found her adorable, and some even protected her. But because she doesn’t understand social cues or urban life, she remains constantly anxious.

Now, she lives near the town in the forest (probably in a tree or something), trying to fit in while panicking at even the slightest misunderstanding.

Abilities

🦃 Feather Shield

She can spread her tail fan in a wide arc to block weak projectiles or gusts of wind. It’s more of a defense mechanism than a true attack.

🪶 Dust Flutter

When startled, she flaps her arms rapidly, creating a burst of loose feathers and dust that can momentarily blind or distract enemies.

🎶 Soft Warble Song

Tulli can sing soothing notes that calm animals and mildly relax anxious people. The song often activates involuntarily when she’s scared.

🏃 Burst Escape

Her legs give her sudden, incredible sprint speed—but only for short distances. She can go from zero to “away!” instantly.

Because she has wings She can fly
