Okayyyyyy so!!!!!

Firstly, on some of the hanachi drawings they don't have wings because Pym and I were not yet sure about the bird designs but we still drew them lmfao 😭✌️ just imagine the wings are there when they're lacking.

• Hana is a barred owl with spurs (for the fun of it) (he's also the only owl in town to fit that "outsider" part of him, since owls do not live in towns). He hoots, yes, and he has a specific call for Amachi 🙂‍↕️ (since Amachi can mimick sounds, Hana likes to hear him hoot back ♥️).

• Amachi is a raven. Not leucistic because it's not a mutation or anything it's a syndrome (just imagine Marie-Antoinette syndrome but for birds). He turned white due to trauma ^_^ . He's also socially alienated so he isn't as talkative/loud a normal raven is.

(Also in good hanachi flavor, you can see some of Amachi's head feathers (on the back of his head, his cowlick feathers ♥️) move/wriggle. It's because it's the Hana radar. They rise when Hana's in his field of vision. It's often like an acknowledgement, interest, but it's also another type of blushing... And they ONLY rise for Hana 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️)

• Harumichi is a golden pheasant

• Rinda is a turkey

• Yasu is a cotton pygmy goose

• Hiromi is a crowned eagle

• Bandou is a wedge-tailed eagle (we chose them to be eagles in the end bc it fit the both of them better. It also worked well with their dynamic since eagles are highly territorial birds and two of them in the same space isn't exactly a good mix. Teehee.)

• Zetton is a cassowary (duh, kicker)

• Hashikan is a hamerkop

• Kiyohiro is a red-tailed black cockatoo

• Tesshou is a yellow crested cockatoo

• Ryuushin is a Verreux's eagle (the white pattern on the back of his wings could be the Armament's skull ^^ (← Pym's thoughtful observation!!!))

• Tatsuya is an egyptian vulture

(↑ we also pictured most of Housen students are vultures since the birds are bald 😭 . And Suzuran's students are full feathers. The beef came from there 😭✌️)

• Nachi is a red cardinal

• Yazuka is a stellar blue jay

Also the way they preen/allopreen is with their hand claws and/or with teeth, since they don't have beaks. Some of them have preening claws (ie. Hana and Amachi), some of them don't (ie. Zetton and Butcher (← Butcher's a kākāpō))

There's more characters we've assigned birds to so if your fav's not here you can ask us we probably have them 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
