And here's another Ken Pick character, beeing wirtten up for a story he's working on with another fellow known as the 'Michigan Wildman' for good reason.

Quirelle is a member of an avian race called the Skreeln. They're normally big, fierce, proud and honorable predators, downright obsessive over family and personal honor, something of a cross between the samurai and the Bedouin. Unfortunately for her, Quirelle's nothing like that. She was raised as an orphan by another and completely different species, under circumstances that have left her small, sick, and weak by Skreeln standards. She works as a librarian and spends most of her free time online as a 'virtual vixen' looking for a Handsome Prince to take her away from her wretched life. That is, when her angry flock isn't beating her up for being such a disgrace.

Then she finds her prince and boy howdy does her life get interesting in the Chinese curse sense.
