Zani the sunbirb

Zani is a simple nev, born and raised in the outskirts of Golden Ring City, he was the runt of the metaphorical litter, a shy quiet birb....that was until he purchased his first lute and learned the ways of the bard. The lil sunbirb used music as a way to convey emotions more fluently, focusing on his music instead of the people watching him. He settled down with Vladimir Toshkin when the western-eastern mix sergal asked him out and eventually asked to marry the birb, after a few years of close acquaintance and such, visiting Vlady whenever he needs his hair or feathers groomed. He often sung quietly as Vlady cut his hair, Zani has always found forest vegetation intresting yet growing up in a desert hindered him from seeing any besides in books. The lil sunbirb enjoys sharing his love of music at public events, such as karaoke night or at his mate’s salon. He never understood the concept of recieving tips for simply playing music but free money is good money so he doesn’t question it. He’s quite fond of sergals and talyxian kitties....as long as they don’t try to eat him. Zani is also proficient in minor arcane abilities, harnessing sunlight as a form of magic to fend off predators in a brilliant flash of light or heat, blinding em long enough for the birb to escape harm. After years of practice, the lil guy managed to use his instrument as catalyst for his magic, making it easier to escape predators without fumbling his lute. Zani nowadays remains close to Vlad for protection, hiding behind the muscular sergal when scared or simply embarrassed.
