Strategy: High Owls fight with a renowned athletic prowess, combining elegance, power, and speed in one package. Combining martial arts and wind magic, Noelle amplifies her otherwise above-average strength into powerful bursts of swift strikes. Methodical use of her wings allows Noelle to float, glide, fly, dive, and strike her target in a variety of intricate movements. Her spear is an extension of her own body in this way. It allows her to employ cutting blows from almost any angle with a variety of movements. It also keeps her enemies at a distance when needed, which is crucial for someone like her that can't suffer many hits.

Type: Swift Striker
Style: Sacred Storm Fist

Special Moves:
Storm Dance - Noelle applies a miniature cyclone to cover the end of her spear before spinning a wide, cutting circle that sends surrounding foes and debris flying in a magnificent gale.

Powers/Quirks:
Head Wings: Noelle can take flight from wings nestled on either side of her head and can reach soaring heights and fly at surprisingly quick speeds. Her ability to dive down on her foes in particular is a trademark of any High Owl on the hunt and can make for sights as majestic as they are devastating. Her wings are also useful for concealing her movements and even serve as weapons in combat.

Favor of the Sky: Naturally gifted in the use of Wind Magic, Noelle is one of many warriors capable of manipulating the world's breath at her fingertips. From creating strong gales, maneuvering mid-flight, to reinforcing her fists, a truly talented High Owl can derive endless ingenuity from simple gusts of wind. In battle, she favors applying enchantments to her spear for added reach and occasionally destructive power.

Spearbearer: Incredibly proficient with the spears and polearms, making graceful use of raw striking power and cutting sweeps for her relatively unimposing physique. They are also best suited for her wind magic to maximize offense and defense when the need arises.

Animal Reflexes: Noelle is highly perceptive and can quickly react to sudden disturbances. She can react to trap falls, analyze her descent, and find the safest way to land over the span of a second. It's impossible for a regular human to catch her off guard staring face-to-face.

Owl Eyes: Noelle’s owl eyes adjust extremely well to long ranges. Day or night makes little difference for her. She can detect movement from over a mile away and pick up on details at a distance that are practically invisible to human eyes. This also makes her susceptible to bright sources of light and can be practically blinded by sudden, direct flashes to her retinas.


Personality: Despite her haste to achieve her personal goals in the larger world, Noelle has learned from a life defined by seclusion, patience, and thinking beyond herself. She's a woman that's learned to conquer her mind first before anything else and very rarely lets her emotions get the better of her. She’s an aloof individual; taciturn, focused, reserved, and serious to a fault that tends to keep her out of the social lingo. She’ll abstain from, or outright ignore, questions and statements that seem pointless or of little benefit. There’s nothing she hates more than having time and effort wasted.

Trained as a monk and a warrior, Noelle is nevertheless bound to an archaic sense of duty and honor. Though she will never admit it, her newfound freedom in the world has left her excited for the new opportunities of adventure, battle, and knowledge. Everything she learns she hopes will one day be of greater service to her village, even if a millennia should pass. As far as she may travel, home is always the closest thing to her heart. And she'd die before returning a failure.

Noelle’s early life was little different from that of the rest of her brethren. Along the branches of the Majestic Great Tree, her village was once home to several families of warriors. Under the guidance of the elders, her prowess as a warrior reached perfection and, upon her graduation, she would be free to leave the Tree in pursuit of her pilgrimage.

More than anyone else she would meditate on the edge of the leaves, looking out at the distant world beneath the clouds and marveling at its boundless breadth. Like many others, she sought to make her way by the spear. As the vanguard of her Sky Cavalry, it should have been an easy way to become recognized and earn enough prestige to eventually return home.

But when the time came to finally leave her homeland, she found the land in a relative period of peace, and her skills in low-demand. For a time, she maintained her purpose as part of a mercenary band with her sisters. She found work with the Imperial Collections Office, earning meager pay under stringent bosses that repeatedly favored her human co-workers over herself. She quickly found herself trapped in a position far beneath what her literary scores suggested. All of her money vanished quickly with climbing rent in the imperial cities and narrowing job prospects for one of her kind.

Finally fed up and determined to make her own way, Noelle was the first in the empire's entire history to actually volunteer for a tour of duty with the Collection Office's Expedition and Delivery Service. As a member of the Expedition, she would be taken to far and distant lands in search of outstanding debtors in every continent, in every corner of the planet, in every dimension if need-be. One way or another, the kingdom collects its debts.

It was an outstandingly dangerous endeavor A major incentive, however, was that the couriers could keep a portion of the debts they collected. With enough persistence, a farm boy could buy an entire plantation, a fisherman could take a whole navy, an owl girl could buy her way back home. Beyond the frontier, one could achieve their dreams.

And if not...well, it is only a dream.
