Aery Name: Twistoult
Character Name: Braenwyen Umbra
Character Species Combination: pied raven (Corvus corax varius morpha leucophaeus) and melanistic serval (Leptailurus serval)
Rank: young gryphon
Gender: female
Character Personality: Braenwyen has a very reclusive character. Incredibly intelligent she appreciates jokes of the logical nature (if she knew what pi and pie were, she would have found "pi" pans to be very amusing.) She often finds the company of too many other gryphons to be tiring after long periods of time. She is a gryphon of few words, and often-times will spend days contemplating a conversation before bringing it back up and dropping in her two-cents worth. She suffered from night-terrors for most of her young life, and has only begun to control them as she studies shamanism and medicine. She uses "magical" plants to make spiritual journeys and to help control her nightmares. She hopes to become a medicine-gryphon when she becomes an adult, and is almost excessively spiritual.

Braenwyen is highly suspicious of most other aeries of gryphons, she views Grandesque gryphons as being overindulgent and ignorant to the natural forces around them. Her family was attacked by a band of Skrekrill as a youngster and she continues to have nightmares about it to this day. As the youngest member of a very large family she learned how to fend for herself and she is a dirty fighter, but she prefers to keep violence for the very last resort. She has had many visions and nightmares about humans and naturally distrusts them; she feels that a huge event in history will take place because of the humans.

She is smaller than most other gryphons, and because of her wing-shape and her lithe body she is an agile, accomplished flier. She can glide for hours if she catches the right thermal, and she loves to perform aerial acrobatics. She is a little vain in this respect and will sometimes find herself in aerial challenges with other gryphons to prove her flying prowess.
