lives on the edge of a russian village currently near a large chunk of wilderness. travels often to new homes in varying countries and sells game to make money. uses bow?? or spear?? low key want them to be a teeny hunter.
- (hc; plumerians molt even though they only have 6 feathers) (if hc is accurate they collect feathers and use them for the headdress).
- probably loves books but can't only pick up a new one often at all so they re-read the same book over and over until it is tattered and smudged. use charcoal fire to draw on pages they have memorized? it would be cool if they drew on the skull in charcoal too. so they test designs in the book then transfer the ones they love to the skull. the charcoal washes off when it rains.
- maybe met puca and visits every spring and stays near their cabin. hunts for them and tells them all the stories they collected over the year. maybe thats why they collect the feathers in the skull, to remember stories that they were told.
- they can be a decent conversationalist, but mostly like to listen and stay quiet. loves to tell puca the stories in the spring
- smells like pine and dirt.
human form- staff, dagger, backpack with stuff idk skip this
- going back to residency, they are nomadic and travel according to seasons bc fuck it they do what they want and usually on an every other month basis, but they linger for 3 or 4 months with puca bc puca is like a bff and super chill, but by mid summer or so he has to go so he isn't off schedule for the seasonal animals??
Shia is a nomadic plumerian and follows the game in seasonal patterns. Their first spring in Púca's woods they couldn't find a suitable place to set up shelter and Púca found them and guided them to an ideal spot. In exchange Shia offered to hunt for Púca while he stayed in their woods, but they refused and simply ask that Shia tell them a story. Since then Shia collects feathers to remember stories over the course of the year so that they can come back and tell Púca all the stories of plumerians from other parts of the world.
