"Stealing!" -Row
Raven
Chaotic Neutral
Description
Row is a relatively small raven with two signature blue feathers behind both of her eyes. She always appears a bit scruffy, resembling more of a city pigeon than a wilderness bird of prey.
Biography
Row came to Xaveria while she was imprisoned and hasn't left her side since. The bird is protective of Xav and distrusting of most other people.
While Xaveria was in prison, Row frequently disappeared for hours and sometimes days, always returning with some sort of gift. These gifts ranged from pastries, to drugs, to shiny trinkets, to the occasional booze bottle rolled across the alley bricks. Guards that talked down to Xaveria frequently suffered a surprise attack from a hostile corvid, but over time, Row began to show less hostility to the others as well.
While moving around, Row often hides under Xaveria's long hair or in the fur of her cloak, always on standby for a surprise attack, or flyby thievery. Row swipes plenty of objects and brings them to her nest, from the beggar's copper piece, to the most precious family heirloom. Both keenly observant and protective of her treasure, Row does have the intelligence to seek out potentially valuable trinkets. Those could come at a price for anyone bold enough to take something from her nest.
Relationships
Xaveria
While incredibly hostile towards many people, Row has never tried to hurt Xaveria. As such, Xaveria wonders if Row has something to do with the Raven Queen and her holy mission to retrieve memories.The Accountant
Row's initial reaction to The Accountant entering Xaveria's cell was to attack him. Though, over time, she began to ease up on the relentless eyestrikes, finding that his wispy nature made him difficult to hit. While not as often, Row does occasionally fetch things for The Accountant, and rarely follows his orders when they seem to align with Xaveria's best interests.Dreamer
Row keeps her distance from Dreamer for the most part. Whether that has to do with himself or the feline spirit that he harbors is to be determined. She does, however, watch The Accountant beat him up with particular interest, sometimes mimicking a human laugh to encourage it.Tungsten
As a walking shiny object, Row visits Tungsten often. She seems to have the sense that trying to pry one of his metal plates loose would be a fruitless endeavor. Nonetheless, it is obvious that she's on constant lookout for loose bolts to bring back to her nest.Charlie
At around the same time Row began paying visits to Xaveria, she also began visiting Charlie. Though, it's obvious that Row's loyalty leans far more favorably towards Xav.Notable Appearances
Row was first encountered during Xaveria's prologue session. She appeared to Xaveria almost immediately after Xav was thrown in prison.
