Alder is IC in-game 99% of the time. As a predator, she does hunt to survive, but preys mostly upon small forest critters and fish.
May contain mature themes.
updates
Mental: 80% / Anxious
Physical: 90% / Well-fed and warm
Emotional: 60% / Very lonely.
Note: if she's laughing in her nest, chances are you've been
showered in leaves.
she is extremely vocal. She does often
mimic the cry of a fawn in distress, but usually
only to see who she manages to lure.

Approached a couple deer, only for them to run off. Played with two unnamed fawns who didn't seem frightened by her appearance. All three participated in chasing a rabbit together, until said rabbit tripled in size. Eventually the fawns went their separate ways, leaving Alder alone again.
Sunned herself by the pond where she met an unfamiliar deer looking for help with their antlers. Although not the company she was wishing for, she was eager to help! But maybe a little too eager. They ran off after she went crazy with spell casting. Whoops.
Found Brille again, but didn't get too close. Maybe she should stop trying.
Sang for a little bit. Saw Rahal. Didn't look like he noticed her though. Now sitting at the playground watching rabbits.

depth
characteristics -- playful // sly // mischievous
If you feed her, she'll be quicker to like you. But trust will come at a snail's pace (that is, if you haven't previously helped her // nothing on you is red or bright) and if it's rushed, she won't like you. She enjoys having her own space, but does get curious of others and may approach if tempted enough.
Again, food helps!
She is extremely vocal -- 'singing' is one way she lures deer and other creatures closer. She can mimic different calls, favoring fawn the most.
She's still learning the customs of the forest (bowing, dancing, etc.), so if she does not respond the way others usually would, try not to think too poorly of her.
Appearance
A large, primarily brown feathered creature with a human
face.
Quirks and Facts
• She kicks tree and nest debris down on anyone that passes beneath her tree.
• Will willingly accept meat scraps from anyone, as long as they're alone.
• She communicates with multiple dialects (masks), as she can mimic most calls.
Personal Inventory
• loads of loose down feathers from her mother
• hoard of pine cones
• some yarped pellets
• red poppies!! because!! red!!
relations
Anyone she has interacted with repeatedly
Brille
Confusing... One moment she's charging, and the next, she's sniffing her. Four-leggers are a strange bunch... But she welcomes her presence whenever she finds it!
Aware Anyone she's interacted with in some way, but not often.

Common In-Game body language
• Shake head = Not sure / uncomfortable /// repeated = "Go away!"
• Lots of repeated head rubbing = "Feed me" / "I like you" / "Friendly goodbye"
• In a tree = Roosting / In nest / Perched /// If mooing, she's singing.
• Kneeling = Respectful greeting / "Thank you!" /// If repeated, "I'm no threat to you!"
• Running and Jumping repeatedly = Flying
• Taunt = Probably mocking you bc she's a harpy and they're Rude.
• Mooing/screeching repeatedly = panicked /// If hopping between moos, she's bored
• Lowering Antlers = puffing out feathers to seem bigger // "I'm so scary - go away!!"

How to approach a harpy
1. Bring food.
2. Approach slowly (walking forward slowly).
3. Set food down (sad action), paw at the ground, and back up a little. Sitting down encourages her to accept your offering.
4. Be patient and remain seated. Sudden movements will startle the harpy.
5. Once the harpy has accepted your gift (signified by a bow or nod), you may walk towards them.
