Tokoyami has an extreme sensitivity to sunlight, which results in him needing to protect his skin during the day. He either made the bird mask himself, or got help from a tinker talent (maybe Shoji!) to make it. The cloak is made from feathers that Dark Shadow has molted over time.

Speaking of Dark Shadow, they're a crow that hangs out with Tokoyami all the time! The two are practically inseparable. Dark Shadow helps Tokoyami get around during the day time (since he has to keep his wings tucked away from the light and therefore can't fly).

In some of the first sketches the mask was a bird skull, but it got axed to avoid potential awkwardness with Dark Shadow right there. I also considered making him albino to tie into the sunlight-sensitivity more, but he just looked like Shigaraki at that point. Also, there are plants with black leaves! Some of them have white veins and I wanted to try that, not sure if it actually worked out lol.

I headcanon him as working for the scouting fairies (apprentice under Hawks himself!) however, I couldn't decide whether he was actually a scout talent fairy or a light talent fairy gone very wrong.

Tokoyami claims to be nocturnal at this point, but is really just staying up late and sleeping in. He's great for night time shifts though!
