Hera - Flier

[Tori]

Name: Hera
Age: 1 year
Gender: Female
Species: Flier
Appearance:

Upon exiting her mother's womb, she has always been her small size. At birth she wasn't even the average length of 12 inches. Hera was only 9 inches. As time progressed she stayed her smallish size, always significantly smaller than the bats around her.

Hera's wings have always been as small as the rest of her. Now fully grown, her wingspan is only a meager 14 feet. It seems she is always slighty smaller than average in everyway. Hera's eyes are a light black, almost grey, though they aren't very good for anything since most of her seeing is done by her ears and nose.

Speaking of her ears, like everything else on her, they are smallish in size. However, they still work just as well as everyone else's despite their size. Hera's coat has been the same colour since birth; a dusted red. A light brown provide the dusted colour of her fur, and in the light you may even spot a bit of orange if you look close enough. She has a small white patch of fur behind her left ear that defines her.

Personality:

Small as she is, the first you will notice about Hera is how big her appetite is. Hera eats whenever she gets the chance. She never arrives late to a feast in Regalia. Her favourite thing to munch on are pomegranates. She can not get enough of them. If she finds one, it's likely she may not hear a word you say until a few minutes after she's done eating it. Hera will do just about anything for a pomegranate, she thinks they are the most delious things in the world.

Hera is a very determined flier. Weeks of being called small and being told she couldn't do something because of her size has made her someone who wants to prove them all wrong. She is always determined to prove herself and looks to do it every chance she gets. Some may call it bravery and some may call it foolishness, but Hera has both. Because of her determination she sometimes finds her self doing outragious things that other fliers wouldn't attempt.

She is a very competitive soul. This adds on much to her foolishness and determination. She doesn't turn a challenge down, and is almost always up for anything. Be it flying competitions, or eating competitions (she especially loves those), or any other crazy thing, count her in.

Spinners. Something she doesn't like to talk about. And when she does it's always with hatred. Hera hates spinners with a passion, and for a decent reason. Her mother was killed in their land. She isn't a big fan of gnawers either, but she was extremely close to her mother, and didn't know that much about her father.

Hera is very hard to get to know. She doesn't like many people and is extremely cautious. She doesn't trust many creatures(or any for that matter) and isn't one to talk about herself a lot. This does mean, however, that she is very loyal and good at keeping secrets. She prefers to listen more than she does talk.

She likes to laugh and make jokes. Majority of the time though, she had a dry sense of humour and often finds herself the only one laughing. Hera likes attention because she doesn't recieve much of it so she tries to get as much as she can. She never thinks things through before she does them. Hera is an impulse kind of bat, also was acting first. Though sometimes she regrets it.

History:

There is nothing very remarkable about Hera's history. Her mother was(yes, was) once called Kimel. Hera was raised by her for the first three weeks of her life. That was until her mother died. Her mother had been sent out to spinner territory and had died there. Though no one knows the cause. One day, a spinner just returned with her mother's body, providing no explaination. This is why she hates them.

Her father had died before she ever met him. He found for the flier's land and when rumours were heard about a gnawer invasion, he was one the of bats sent out the check up on the mission. The only thing is the five who were sent out, never returned.

Throughout her childhood, she was made fun of for her small size. She had been cared for under several bat's wings(haha...) but none of them treated her like their old child. She continued life as though nothing had changed, though sometimes saddened by thoughts of her parents.

She overcome the words spoken to her until she was finally old enough to fly freely around Underland. She first plans to go to the killers territory. Her people have an alliance with the humans, and she plans on spending them there. She didn't learn their language for nothing. Shortly after, however, she wants to travel to both spinner and gnawer terriortory to look for clues as to what happened to her parents.
