Description


my precious bbu :iconcreepsmileplz:
so somehow naiderp got to be associated with the snowy owl (Owlivia started it and it just caught on and it became a thing and i juST) and it's basically become a thing now and since now my love for snowy owls is infinite I caved and made it a canon thing
Naira herself can't shift into one or anything like that, she's just the spirit of volcanoes and has powers associated with them - however, pretty much every spirit has a messenger animal, that is used to relay what they have to say to mortals or other spirits. These messenger animals are usually birds or some winged animal (bats etc.) because they have the ability to fly and thus deliver messages to more places, but sometimes (like in the case of lady time and her spiders) they can be other animals.
sO her messenger is a snowy owl, but hers is also a special case - it's rare that a spirit's messenger will be another spirit but hers is and aksjf ah my God I love the precious child already kasfjsa
Yana why are you so cute :'I

(1) Katiyana was found by Naira as a baby - she'd been left out to die in the tundra (near one of the villages) because she was illegitimate and therefore considered a bad omen/bad luck, Naiderp was putzing around when she heard her, but it was too late really for the human baby, it was frostbitten and nearing death.  She scooped her up anyway and covered her in one of the furs she had (a gift from one of the polar bear spirits), a white & black dappled one.  Not knowing what to do, it's not within Naira's powers to heal physical wounds, she lent the child some of her energy and took her to the wise owl spirit for counsel, wanting desperately to save her.  The owl spirit replied that she could not save the child's human vessel, but it was possible to save its spirit/soul and preserve it another vessel, inspired by the dappled furs she modelled the child's new form, that of what would become a snowy owl, after them, and turned her care over to Naira.

(2) Yana as a bbubbu that's totally a word
literally just a ball of excited fluff :'I
She's incredibly inquisitive, everything interests her and she investigates it all with zeal.  She shakes a lot though, it's usually because she's quivering from excitement, but it's a side-effect from her human death, where she was shivering before she froze.
But akjsf such a cute derp, she hops in the direction of whatever she wants to see and after people and fsdf just a fat little fluffball hopping to and fro c'x
She's not got a ton of stamina at this point though so she likes to hitch rides and snuggle up to everyone.

(3) Her older form, she remains a child for most of the story because spirits age slower than people, but she will age to adulthood eventually.
For most of her younger years she stays in bbuowl form because she's not experienced enough/a strong enough spirit to be able to make the shape change, and the owl form is more durable/will keep her safer than a human one.
But as she gets older she's able to manifest her human form and hold it for longer and longer, until finally it becomes her primary form and the owl becomes her secondary.
she has tan skin and snow-white hair, her eyes are golden - her skin tends to have a bit of a gray tone however, and her lips are always purplish because of her previous frostbite.
It's okay though because naimama makes sure she's never cold again :'I
She adores Naira and regards her as her mother, she knows she had another but pushes all those memories back, choosing to focus on the one who gave her another chance at life - she does get sad about it occasionally, questionning why anybody would want to leave her to die, but draws comfort from her resolve that her new mama would never let anything bad happen to her. 
Similarly, she likes people who are nice to Naira and tends to stick to them too, whether they like it or not :'D sorry whiny
akjsfd idk she's just full of love and life and i just want to hug her LMAO
Owlspirit gave her to Naira for her to be her messenger but, while she will take messages if Naira asks her, they have more of a mother-daughter bond than anything ; v ;

(4) One of her outfits, she tends to dress simply and warmly (though as a spirit the weather doesn't really affect her) - Naira always bundles her up in furs and feathers tr0ll
She keeps her hair long because she wants to be like mama pff

(5) Her snowy owl form, she looks just like any other one would look, but tends to act like a human.
In her younger days she tended to wear jewellery made of volcanic rock to remain connected to Naira in some way, so she could draw off her energy if need be, and so Naira would know/be summoned to where she was.

...cannot even
I love her so much already LMAO
