Features

Appearance
Scinica is a lean, dark-feathered kenku with charcoal plumage, narrow amber eyes, and a long black beak marked by a pale line near the tip. She wears layered green and brown druidic robes beneath a weathered leather mantle, with a bone-handled sickle and a bundle of dried herbs at her belt. A small brass spyglass hangs from a cord around her neck, heavily polished where her claws constantly worry its rim. When waiting, she leans subtly forward onto the balls of her feet, as though preparing to spring toward the most useful secret in the room.
Mannerisms
Scinica tilts her head sharply whenever someone speaks, then repeats the last few words in a slightly altered voice before answering. She taps the brass spyglass against her palm while thinking and places herself near exits, windows, or high ground whenever possible.
Personality
Scinica is patient, observant, and unnervingly polite. She rarely interrupts, because silence gives people room to reveal more than they intended. She collects useful phrases from everyone she meets and deploys them later in voices that make the original speakers uncomfortable. Her cruelty is methodical rather than emotional, and she is most animated when discussing obscure lore, rare creatures, or the weaknesses of powerful people.
Ideals
Knowledge is power, and power belongs to whoever has the nerve to use it. Nature is not kind, civilized, or moral, and neither should its servants be.
Bonds
Scinica possesses a stolen field journal belonging to her first druidic tutor. Its missing final pages describe a hidden grove that may contain the original source of her circle's oldest rites. She will betray almost anyone to recover those pages, but she will not allow another scholar to claim the discovery first.
Flaws
Scinica treats knowledge as property and people as possible sources. She cannot resist exposing a secret if doing so gives her leverage, even when silence would be kinder or safer. She is also quietly contemptuous of anyone who speaks from personal conviction without evidence she considers adequate.
Quirks
Background
Scinica Opline was raised in the upper galleries of a ruined observatory, where a circle of reclusive druids studied the movement of stars, birds, and seasonal spirits. The kenku could not create a voice of her own, but she became an exceptional collector of other voices. She memorized lectures, arguments, prayers, and the final words of dying trees, then assembled them into a private library of sound. Her talent for imitation made her useful to the druids, but her curiosity was never benevolent. She learned early that a copied voice could open a guarded door, ruin a reputation, or make a frightened animal approach.
