Birthday: Thursday, September 29, 2022

Element: Air
Barely the size of a child's fist, the solar avrael hatchlings sleep most of the first few weeks after they hatched. They awake only to eat, and magis leave berries next to their nests to prevent the hatchlings from crying from hunger. Always searching for warmth, the avrael hatchlings often hide inside old coats. They prefer those lined with fur, and finding avrael hatchlings piled up inside someone's winter coat is not unusual. Fortunately, the hatchlings don't chew on the fabrics, and the clothes survive mostly intact. They become more active as they age, taking more interest in gathering food on their own. There is nothing cuter than a solar avrael hatchling struggling to carry two strawberries at a time to its nest.
The solar avraels are one of the many creatures that mark the beginning of autumn. Always in motion, the avraels collect all sorts of nuts and fruit, hoarding food for the approaching winter. Like the red and brown avraels, the solar types possess delicate-looking wings that seem too fragile for flight. Surprisingly, the avraels use their wings skillfully, gliding from one tree to another. They love to glide, often accompanying magis on trips as their magic over air allows them to glide over extended periods of time. The solar avraels make for valuable scouts as they move in complete silence. However, untrained avraels will not do a great job, as they easily get distracted from their task, stopping at the nearest tree to gather more nuts.
