Appearance
Riola Fiala is a very young male aarakocra with brilliant white feathers, a compact but remarkably powerful rippling physique, bright amber eyes, and broad wings built for explosive movement. He wears only a threadbare, repeatedly mended loincloth, whose blue stitching forms tiny uneven stars. A small bronze soldier's whistle hangs from a cord around his neck, polished smooth where his beak worries it during moments of concentration. His talons and wing joints are strong, and his feathers are meticulously groomed despite his poverty.
Mannerisms
Riola tilts his head sharply when listening, taps his bronze whistle against his beak when thinking, and gives a tiny military salute whenever someone thanks him. When excited, he partially spreads his wings and rocks on his talons as if preparing to launch.
Personality
Riola is bold, affectionate, passionate, and astonishingly earnest. He treats every stranger as a potential friend, every hungry person as someone who should be fed, and every frightened companion as someone who deserves to be carried home. He is forty in spirit, despite his five years of life, because soldiers taught him old songs, serious duties, and the importance of keeping watch while others sleep. His courage is real, but so is his childish delight in high places, shiny buttons, and being told that he did a good job.
Ideals
Courage is not the absence of fear. It is choosing to protect someone smaller than yourself while fear is still screaming in your chest.
Bonds
Riola refuses to abandon the soldiers and villagers who once protected his aerie. He carries his bronze whistle as a promise to answer any call for help, especially from frightened children. He dreams of building a peaceful sanctuary where young aarakocra and ground-born children can train together without being taught to hate one another.
Flaws
Riola is painfully trusting and assumes that anyone who speaks gently must be kind. He can become reckless when praised, especially if someone calls him brave. He also hates admitting that he is frightened, so he sometimes turns a sensible retreat into a dangerous charge, then insists afterward that the whole thing was part of his plan.
Quirks
Background
Riola Fiala hatched high above the battlefield, in a white-feathered aarakocra aerie that served as a lookout post for a coalition of ground armies. Though only five years old, he grew quickly under the strange pressures of war. He learned to carry messages through arrow storms, guide frightened soldiers through mountain passes, and lift morale with fearless dives that ended in a cheerful chirp. His size remained small, but his strength became astonishing, and veteran soldiers began calling him Little Thunder after watching him knock a shield-bearing ogre from a bridge.
