Black sheep ears

Light yellow eyes with goat pupils 

Almond skin tone, freckles, his skin tone is lighter than Cupiea's since the Winter Court doesn't get as much sun. 

Lean and athletic

Doesn't talk much in public

Loves art, drawing, woodwork, and playing the upright bass

Has a mild, persistent tremor in his hands

Hip wings, heart moth, like the rest of the family

The hip wings are usually at rest, like a moth's, and are flat against his side when at rest. When happy/excited, they will flutter

Sheep type Doveacean 

Wears an amulet, a silver circle inlaid with a copper swirl, to help prevent against memory loss and fear/mitigate the effects of Fenna's chimera form

Dating Fenna and Seven Lock

Messenger for the Winter Court

Casual/Non-working clothes: black, white, or cream colored poet shirts with the ties undone, loose, and casual. Loose black pants with slits up the sides for his wings. Leaves a gap of skin between his shirt and pants such that you can see his waistbeads. Wears the amulet from Fenna, his horn ring, a golden sun earring in one ear (from Mese and Anthe), a silver snowflake earring in the other ear (from Fenna and Seven Lock), a leather cord bracelet with one of Fenna's claws on it alongside one of Seven Lock's claws. 

Clothes when working: Black leotard with silver details. Black legwarmers that go to the tops of his thighs. A cloak in the pattern of Seven Lock's fur with Fenna's feathers around the edges, closed with a silver snowflake clasp (the cloak matches Fenna's and Seven Lock's). Keeps the amulet, waistbeads, horn ring, earrings, and bracelet on.

Gets very animated/funny when drunk, bantering with Cupiea and telling stories, showing how he and Cupiea are related.

Picks on Cupiea often, as siblings do.

Prefers spicy, savory, or hearty foods

He is fey and cannot lie

Has a staring problem. His eyes can see a lot, given the goat pupils. But he stares and does not blink (fey thing). 

Calls Fenna "Fang" affectionately 

Calls Seven Lock "Seven" or "kitty" affectionately 

Bisexual

Doveacean Abilities

Minor illusions

Generating items for trade

Musical enhancement (can summon songs, singing, humming, summoning, or instrument playing influences emotions)

Ability to generate fairy circles to travel between planes of existence at will

Ability to speak any language within the Feywild

Innate sense of time in different Realms. Can tell the time differences between Realms since the time changes across Realms, territories, and planes of existence at random. Know the conversion by feeling. One day, 1 hour in the Material plane may be 1 day in the Feywild, on another, 2 hours in the Feywild may be 3 days in the Material plane. They know these things innately.

About Doveaceans

Messengers and guides of the Feywild.

Highly respected and sought after

Polyamorous species

Very tactile species

Cannot lie

Can have wings of any type, anywhere on their body

Satyr, but animal base varies (deer, antelope, goat, sheep, etc., any horned bovidae, cervidae, or ruminant animal)

Eye colors range from pale yellow to deep amber. They all have horizontal pupils.

Can speak and understand all languages of the Feywilds

Can generate things, like trinkets, food (cakes, sweets), flowers, etc. (limited by size and rarity)

Typically have a weapon, assigned during their coming-of-age ceremony

All have horns, sizes, and styles vary

All have claws

All have carnivore teeth

All are heavily furred

All have a snout, though the snout takes the shape of whatever species their lower half is (so a goat lower half would get a goat snout, a deer lower half would get a deer snout, and so on)

Isolationists in the Material Realm

Wings incapable of flight

Celebrate Solstice and Equinox (as do most creatures within the Seasonal Domains)

In the Feywild, Doveaceans live wherever because they are more respected there, but they tend to form villages of Doveaceans. In the Material Realm, leaders and communal rules vary more, like human societies. Fair Children exists in the Material Realm.

Historically, those with different wings had different roles, but now they all serve as messengers, travelers, guides, and reporters to The Courts. The Courts did not want their abilities to go to waste.

Adulthood is marked when they get their weapon, so around 18-ish (Material years)

Doveaceans do not migrate anymore, but they used to. The reason they can speak all the languages in the Feywild is due to the fact that they used to travel through all the Realms for migration. This is also why all Realms allow them entrance.

There are specific areas that are Doveacean-heavy in the Feywild, like their villages, but they do not stay in one place solely because they have access to all of the Realms within Feywild.

If a trade is uneven, they barter. If the trade does not become equal, the Doveacean rejects it, and the other person is seen as being in poor standing with the Doveacean.

The items Doveaceans generate stick around (unless edible, and then they get eaten and digested, as per usual). They can't generate anything too big, expensive, or rare.

Doveaceans play a wide range of instruments, adopting instruments over time. A modern Doveacean may play a synthesizer or electric bass, but a modern Doveacean can also play the harp, lyre, or any traditional instrument as well.

Doveaceans also dance. Their wings are used almost like a display/prop, so they have dances that incorporate their wings as elements.

Doveaceans are omnivores; they eat anything! 

If not in nudist communes, Doveaceans typically wear things that emphasize their wings, wherever they may be. 

Since Doveaceans are polyamorous, they all typically wear the waist beads of the families they are a part of. 

Most families also share a secondary accessory for their biological family, specifically.

Doveaceans are amicable and view other races as friendly, they are just more private and secretive by nature due to the wing stereotypes and the fact that they are sought after by many for their skills and often exploited by others.

Wings do not change much as one grows

Wings show your direct biological family.

The transformation between standard form and the more animalistic form happens once a Doveacean lands in the Feywild! They get sharper claws, their hair gets curlier/more dense, their face becomes more snout-like, their horns larger, teeth sharper, and there is a personality change as well, as noted.

Wing placement was more of a historical thing. Doveaceans are moving away from such now since they have become mostly messengers, guides, etc.

The Doveacean language, Doveaceanian, is made up of chirping sounds

Wing movement is involuntary and reflects emotions

Naming conventions are as follows for Doveacean Feywild names: something related to your wing type + different endings. Different endings are -iea (daughters), -io (sons), -iearia (moms), -ierion (dads). Slight modifications are made when there is more than one son/daughter, such as -iean and -ion, or -ieas and -ios. 

Doveacean villages are neutral ground, allowing for The Courts to meet within them.

Doveaceans do not try to hide their race. They can't, really. Any creature with wings and a satyr lower half, hooves, horns, claws, and horizontal pupils is a Doveacean.

Most Doveacean weapons are embedded with a specific type of stone, indicating their purpose.

Material Realm Doveaceans did not have to serve in the Seven Season War, as their primary address is in the Material Realm (this is true for all Material Realm dwellers; if your primary address is in the Material Realm, you essentially avoided being drafted)

Material Realm Doveacean Communes were established to avoid being forced to fight in wars.
