History
Personal
Rayana was born to Asmara, a dancer (who died in childbirth), and Ilya, a tanner & woodworker. She grew up with Ilya and her maternal great-aunt Kuldra, who taught her the dances common to her people and her matriline. Ilya died in a house fire when she was nineteen, leaving her messenger bag and the puzzle box & notebooks inside as the only memento of his time in the living world.

Coin purse (Edit)
A green velvet bag, closed with a rope, containing a fistful of silver, bronze, and aluminum coins.
Preening tool (Edit)
A steel tool that looks like a cross between nail clippers and diagonal cutters, used to aid in preening new feathers.

A small refillable notebook with a leather cover and pages made from elephant-dung paper.

Ink bottle (Edit)
A bronze inkwell containing ink made from gum arabic soot.
Pocketwatch (Edit)
An intricately decorated sterling silver pocketwatch, attached to the outside of the messenger bag. It has four hands and its face is divided into nine slices.
Weapons
Natural weapons: talons and beak
  • Being an aven, Rayana has sharp talons on her hands & feet, and an equally sharp beak in place of a mouth.

Bronze talon (Edit)
  • A bronze karambit with a 3" blade.
  • Quantity: 2
Skills
Combat
  • Bipunctilism
    • Training:
      Rayana is vaguely competent in a knife-fighting style using dual bronze talons (see above).
Non-combat
  • Dance
    • Description:
      Rayana is a dancer by trade, well-versed in styles of dance that use all six limbs (legs, arms, wings).
Education
  • Rayana has the equivalent of a tenth-grade education.
Language
  • Avian (Native)
  • English (note: since she has a beak, Rayana cannot pronounce labial consonants)
Parnormal Abilities
Eagle eyes (Edit)
  • Description:
    Being a golden eagle, Rayana's eyes are much sharper than a human's, allowing her to see ultraviolet, distinguish more shades of color, and spot prey up to 3.2 km (2 mi) away.
Hearing (Edit)
  • Description:
    While golden eagles have a much smaller audible frequency range than humans, their hearing is more acute within that range, able to pick up variations in tone, pitch, and rhythm that would otherwise go unnoticed.
