Birthday: Monday, January 25, 2021

Element: Neutral 
These little fledglings spend the first few months of their lives in their nest, relying on their mother or magi for sustenance. During this time they don't really do much and they prefer to not be around too many magis or creatures at once. As they age, they become more outgoing, taking flight and soaring over the keep, but they always make their way back to their magi. Their favorite place to perch, until they grow too large, is on their magi's shoulders.
Guardian eagles are truly majestic creatures, their golden plumage reflecting the sun's light. The natives of the land consider these birds and their feathers sacred and hold them in high regard as they are said to be messengers to the dead, carrying messages from the living to those who have long passed. Guardian eagle eggs are often gifted to a young magi to care for, and once hatched, the eagle and the magi are bonded for life. These eagles are one of the more loyal companions a magi can have, never flying far. They will protect their magi at any cost, willing to give up their life if need be. Guardian eagles are highly suspicious of anyone new around their magi and one must work hard to gain their trust. It is always wise to not make any sudden movements around one of these birds when you first meet as it can provoke it into attacking.
