Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Cardinal Phoenix
Birthday: Thursday, August 6, 2015
Owner: Rainwater
Element: Fire/Air
Your cardinal phoenix hatchling has taken to snoozing on the hearth, ignoring the sparks that sometimes shower it. When not napping, most of its time is spent checking each and every one of your companions for injuries, with a few pauses between rounds for food. Each time you return to your room, your hatchling grumpily inspects you from head to toe, cheeping excitedly whenever it finds something it deems to be an injury. Tonight you laugh and allow it to guide you to a chair where you relax, enjoying the song it sings as it tries to heal the ink stains on your fingertips.
Cardinal phoenixes can imbue their songs with healing powers, an important ability for a bird that makes its home in Silva Forest. Like most cardinal species the males are very territorial, yet they will never directly attack another cardinal phoenix. Instead they compete through song, with the winner showing he has greater songs and skills than his opponent. Healers welcome cardinal phoenixes into the rooms of sick patients, and it's not uncommon to hear someone say they were bullied into wellness by these very determined birds. Indeed they are so committed to healing others that in times of great illness or when there are many injured creatures or people, they will band together to save as many lives as they can.
