This is a character for the group Windsonde on dA. I was a bit iffy on posting this on FA as I didn't quite know if they'd allow it, BUUUUT I've seen some other members posting here, so methinks it's ok.
Aery Name: Grandesque
Character Name: Verlidaine
Character Species Combination: Northern (or Western) Burrowing Owl/Sand Cat (Athene cunicularia hypugaea/Felis margarita)
Rank: Young Gryphon
Gender: Female
Character Personality: Verlidaine, or Daine for short, is a quiet but happy gryphon who loves finding shiny objects, especially crystals. She's a bit of a pack-rat, but she's not so obsessed with her treasures that she wouldn't go out with her close friends.

btw, floofy left is the age she is right now. The sleek, decked out right is her when she's an adult. :D In adult form she has 2 mallard duck feathers, an amethyst crystal, and a pouch. I'm hoping she can get into the Samhradh Clan, as I imagine her as a crystal jewelry trader.

And if you recognize her name-yes, I got it from the heroine from the Immortals Quartet by Tamora Pierce. It just fit nicely with the character. :meow:
