Name: Trinket
Codename: Bombardier
Affiliation: The Limestone Street Legionnaires
Rank: Courier, Scout, Navigator, Spy
Sex: Female.
Species: Pied crow.
Age: Unknown, adolescent.
Personality: Trinket is hyperactive, extremely talkative, and a certifiable genius. She is a problem-solver, able to separate the variables of a particular situation and break them down piece-by-piece. She is always at least 10 steps ahead of any opponent, target, or enemy.
She has a tendency to speak in riddles, even when talking to Hadrian, her commanding officer. She especially delights in confusing Marcus, Hadrian's easily-irritated brother.
Her primary role in the Legionnaire's is as a Navigator for her flightless comrades. She flies overhead during daylight missions, acting as a guide for those on the ground. Because she can easily stay out of reach of Gang dogs (and the few cats that can survive in Old Market), she's an effective spy. She does have to get into fairly close range to hear what's being said, but a few flicks of her wings and she's out of harm's way.
When Sita and Josephine are otherwise occupied, Trinket is the default Courier and Scout. During daylight hours, if a message must be delivered within or out of the neighborhood, Trinket is the bird for the job (as the dogs can really only be "on duty" at night).
Her only weakness is her fickle attention-span. If Trinket finds a particular task to be boring, she may very well veer off course to find something more exciting to occupy her time. She's easily distracted by bright and/or shiny objects. Hadrian tries to augment this flaw by providing her with as many "treasures" as he can find.
Important Relationships:
Hadrian: Trinket's commander and one of the few No-Feathers that she at least tries to speak plainly to. She respects Hadrian because he enjoys her riddles and leaves her "treasures" to add to her collection in the tree against which The Fort lays.
Hopscotch: Trinket's (friendly) rival for "Best Bird" within the Legionnaires. She may try to outdo Hopscotch, but bonds with the other bird more closely than she might ever be able to do so with a No-Feather.
Troll, Webster, & Scurvy: Trinket (and Hopscotch) have an ironclad truce with the neighborhood cat triad, ensuring that no harm will come to them at the claws of the felines. Webster, in particular, has become quite friendly with Trinket, as they both consider themselves intellectuals.
