Opal has a great passion for exploration. It amazes her how different the world is from her home. She loves listening to the stories and rumours in every new place she visits. On her adventures she finds treasures; she likes to examine stones and gemstones especially.

Opal | History and Key Events:
​

Opal grew up in a normal family setting, happily loved by her parents and brother. Nothing outstanding happened in her early years. Her mother would tell her stories as a viscling. This, coupled with the beautiful views of the outside world, inspired her to explore. It stuck with her throughout her childhood and as soon as she was old enough, she left home and set out on her adventures. It took time to get used to not having her family around, the first few months were rather upsetting for Opal instead of fun. She considered turning back.

 

She found a young red-tailed hawk. It was abandoned by its parents. Opal couldn't leave the bird to die and took it in as her own. They developed a strong bond and she managed to train it. The hawk, Phoenix, was used to scout for interesting locations and danger; as well as send letters with gifts home, so her family knew what she was up to. It was at this point that she started to enjoy her journeys as she didn't need to worry about being alone as much.

 

However, she soon felt as if she wasn't doing anything important with her life; the viscet was just wandering the world because it was pretty. Her constant travels made friends difficult, she couldn't keep most of them and it started to bring her down again. To tackle her loneliness, Opal would talk to creatures she found. The stories 'they' made with her cheered her up and this caused her to keep a journal in order to write everything down. Later, this expanded to taking scientific notes and drawings because it gave her a feeling of worth and usefulness.

 

When she eventually comes home and stays, she would like to continue adventuring. Opal is considering becoming a geologist or just going on small, local adventures. That way she could be with her family and still do what she loves. She would even love to have visclings of her own and teach them to appreciate the natural world like she does. Though she feels as if she is unable to bring her mate home. He is a thief and she fears that her family would frown upon him; not only that, but it's also unsafe for him to return to any settlement.

 

Opal | Relationships:
​

Opal has a pet red-tailed hawk named Phoenix. Her parents are Kyoku and Kane. She has a brother named Rajah. Sadly, she doesn't get to see her family much but she misses them greatly.

 

Most of her time is spent with her red-tailed hawk, Phoenix, and her mate, Viper. She does have the occasional traveling companion such as Curly Fries.

 

She has many friends, although most of them are not close to her. This is because she spends her life on journeys and does not have the time to stay in the same place for long.

 

On one of her journeys she met a viscet named Paarthurnax. He was the one who introduced her to falconry and gave her Phoenix. While leaving, she found that he had a crush on her.

 

Usually, Opal gets along with most viscets. However, she met Louise and they often challenged each other for stones. They have a less hostile relationship now due to Opal trying to make friends with her. To this day they consider themselves friendly rivals.

Physical Appearance and Accessories:

 

Opal stands at six feet and ten inches, measuring ten feet and four inches from nose to tail. Her base coat is mostly dark grey in colour with some black markings; this includes four thick stripes from her shoulders to hips that extend half-way across her body; a band one third of the way down her tail from the base, with a grey triangle shape and the point at the bottom, between this line and the rest of the black tail. In this there is a small swirl that extends from the side of the triangle, towards the point and curves in towards the dividing line. Her rear feet also have one thick black band each, just above her ankles, a thin line reaches from the midpoint of her leg and swirls at the end, touching the bands. On the front of edge of her thighs there is a black line. These markings are the same on the inside of her legs too. Her front paws have black covering her digits and along her top lip, from her light grey nose, there is a thick patch of black; though both of these are mostly covered by other markings to mimic borders. Opal's mane is mostly dark pink, gradienting to white after her shoulders; there are three blue streaks with large gaps before this, when the white becomes solid, there are four blue streaks with smaller gaps. Her tail is also dark pink and gradients to white at the tip. All of her paw pads and claws are white, as well as the insides of her ears. She has ringed eyes, the inside is chestnut while the outer ring is more marroon.

 

She has a brown satchel which contains her journal and pencil. There is also multiple rolls of paper and ribbons to tie her letters with. As well as this there is equipment to control her pet hawk; which includes jesses, gloves and a leash. Opal uses this to store her supplies, such as food, for her journeys and to carry home her treasures.

 

Personality and Quirks:

 

Opal is outgoing, ambitious and curious. She loves to make new friends to keep her company while she is away from home. This Viscet is very affectionate. She is extremely kind and will help anyone in need. In addition, she is loyal. Opal also has a great memory and remembers most people she meets; she loves to think about her past experiences. Sometimes she can be observant, she often sketches her finds in her journal. She is also a big dreamer, she loves to imagine what the lives of animals around her are like; as well as questioning 'why', 'how' and 'what if'. Opal enjoys crafted objects and other creative items. While she isn't the smartest viscet, she is pretty average in intelligence; though she still loves to learn.

Unfortunately, Opal is a risk-taker and isn't very observant when it comes to examining for dangers; often too excited to take care. This usually causes some problems in her adventures. Also, she is often quite attached to most people she meets; even if she hardly knows them. This makes it hard for her to leave, but she could never leave the joy of finding new places and items behind. She has a tendency to be oblivious to others' discomfort when she asks too many questions or is too energetic. Opal doesn't learn from her mistakes easily so she often does the same ones multiple times. She can be clumsy at times but not too often.

 

Abilities:

 

She can read and write in English, although she isn't the best at it. However, she is excellent at drawing and can create realistic sketches when recording things she comes across in her journal.

 

Territory:

 

Opal does not have a territory since she is always on the move.
