Fuck it. Birdposting. Everyone say hi to Ferdinand's bird daughter he was forced to adopt post-endwalker. Her name is Elegeia. She's a lil phoenix. She's deeply Pollyanna by Catherine Warwick and Birdhouse in Your Soul by They Might Be Giants coded. Bird up. Cringe is dead.
She's one of the many Meteia that made up the Endsinger. In my canon after the Endsinger was vanquished all the birds were able to shed their despair and regain individuality and their color and they all flew off into space. Imagine the end scene of FFX with all the pyreflies but its rainbow birds
I consider her an older sister to the Meteion (and by extension, the rest of the Meteia) we meet in Elpis, as Elegeia was made as a prototype of sorts by Hermes and (my) Azem before Hermes took the bird in the divorce and created her sisters. She was made to basically be an ESA, but still succumbed to despair with her sisters. After she was freed from despair she saw Ferd's dead body and was like "damnnnnn Azem looks more washed up than I remember" and then convinced him + the scions that she could be trusted with sharp objects. She's been hanging around Marimo too much.
I love her idgaf if making a meteion/meteia/whatever oc is considered cringe or smth. i think we need more weird birdgirls. do what you want always forever. me and my wild ass ferdiefantasy xiv wol lore.
i'll make her webpage on my oc website eventuallysoon i just need to finish drawing the header for the webpage. which im drawing myself instead of using a stock photo or xiv screenshot or smth like i normally do because i couldnt find anything on unsplash that fit the vibe and pinterest/google images is full of Slop and I Don't Use Slop. please look forward to it
