*ALSO, just to clarify, I am perfectly fine with random cameos without being asked! I enjoy seeing how people portray my babs.
*All info added for Year II will be put in italics.


Name: Ayao Skryfe
Gender: Female
Species: Zapdos
Birthday: April 4, 1997, Age 18
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 104 lbs

Personality:
    Ayao, at first glance, seems like an ass--she's blunt, hotheaded and somewhat selfish--although none of those qualities are something she is aware of, and she typically doesn't mean to hurt others. Although she's quite brash with her decisions, she's not afraid of admitting wrong choices. She is quick to point out the positives of those she appreciates, and almost always willing to help out those few. Anyone she isn't fond of, however, does not get the same treatment, but will not often be treated wrongly (unless one has somehow given her a reason to hate their guts). She loves stories and learning new things, almost to a degree that seems childish--but since she always wears the bandanna, it's hard for others to truly tell some of her emotions unless they know her well.If she is wearing the bandanna, it is more difficult to tell her emotions unless one knows her well. She also can get pissed at anyone who mistreats those close to her, even if it is a squabble between friends--she'll become frustrated towards both. Her competitiveness is probably her most obvious quality, and part of what keeps her happy and focused on her goals. 
    Recently, she has developed a mental transition, triggered by danger-borne adrenaline. In that state, she's no smarter than she was prior, but she remembers numerous things she'd forgotten from long before--things such as someone telling her what to do in a certain situation, a battle tactic she learned, or survival tips. She also becomes incredibly focused, particularly on whatever task or job needs to be done--so focused that even things such as friends and her usual desire to protect them fade into something less important than the task. However, if there is no task, protecting those close to her rises in priority, becoming the "task" lodged in the forefront of her mind. She is also, both in and out of her mental transition, very slow to react to pain.

History:
    The village of her origin was incredibly small, and so unlike a typical village that the only reason it was labelled as such was that it wasn't communal enough to be labelled as a tribe, but too communal and stationary to be addressed as individual nomadic clans. Every family had their own hut, as to be expected--but as was especially apparent with the older residents, families had a strange, unspoken apathy towards each other in times of trouble. That apathy created a distance between the families of Ayao and all of her friends, which bred a strange kinship between them. Instead of being pulled apart by the village traditions of familial separation, Ayao wished to stay together with them as friends. Of course, most of the other village kids eventually did distance themselves from her.
    Being quite the tomboy, Ayao actively competed against the few young boys in her home village in numerous activities. Only one in particular, a certain ice birb named Aquilo, was able to both keep up with her antics and exceed her in ability. She furiously attempted to catch up to him to no avail.
    After a while, the two became an interesting pair of friends--maintaining their relationship through mutual rivalry and dedication to pestering the other. Although maintaining a hostile stance towards each other, they became very close--to the point where they shared their favourite hobbies and talents with each other without competing. Ayao taught Aquilo how to style his own hair so that it wasn't just a blue wad of fur, and in turn, he taught her how to knit--although she wasn't particularly skilled in his hobby, nor was he in hers. In spite of their closeness, that birb eventually decided that he would depart from the village in order to pursue his own strengths--briefly mentioning Yarelts. Ayao, in her frustration, set her mind on the same goal--finding personal strength and joining the prestigious Academy. 
    From ages seven to twelve, Ayao attempted to hone her abilities through solitude. During her self-training, she spent much of her time alone in more desolate places (such as the barren land to the north of her village, mountains, or quiet forests), attempting to better understand her own ambitions and strengths. Although she wasn't fond of thinking things through to such a degree, her hasty choice to follow in her old rival's footsteps eventually hardened into conviction. She began travelling after she realized that she had ceased making progress, but still didn't feel like she had learned all she could. Up until recently, she had roamed throughout Tora and learned from numerous others: wise sages of certain tribes, mercenaries, priests, and intellectuals were only a few (more detail may be put into the specific important teachers that impacted her later on different deviations). Their many different, colourful personalities left their marks on Ayao, and everything she learned from them she never forgot--even though many of her teachers had differing or even clashing views--which helped her understand the different perspectives of others. 

Hobbies:
    Sparring, listening to stories, styling the hair of others

House:
    House Ignis

Weapon:
    A Flag-Spear. When she was younger, she wielded a stick with cloth tied upon it, and on the cloth she wrote her vows to herself and her personal goals--saying that her weapon would only be put into serious use for the sake of those goals. To this day, she personally hand-stitches her vows into the fabrics of her flags. 

Accessories:
    After a lot of convincing, she was finally able to have one of the local tailors to make her outfit a bit more "cool". These include a very heavy double-chain belt--complete with shiny red thunderbolt patterns--and a comfortable hat with golden accessories. She likes those. A lot. She also now wears the scarf given to her by one of her good friends, Jop.

Class/Subclass:
    Warrior / Bannerwoman - She had mainly stuck to spear-like weapons since her days of self-training, and decided to master the weapon before moving on to anything else. It also might've been an attempt at being somewhat of a showoff.
Secondary Class:
    Harmony / Atmos - she likes the weather! That's... really all there is to it. 

Extras:
    She hates having her bandanna removed. Something about her demeanor changes drastically as soon as the lower half of her face is uncovered--she becomes abnormally docile, almost enough to be labelled as "shy" (She's probably just insecure about the fact that she has a mouth instead of a beak).
Year II Update:
    She has grown more accepting of her own face, due to having kind friends. She is not seen with her bandanna as often as before, but still will wear it when she feels like it--more out of attachment to the concept than fear of her lack of a beak.
