"you're the first one in many years that didn't either attack me or ran away upon seeing me.
To answer your question... I'm not fond of numbers I've been assigned but I'm not so sure about a new name, I'd much rather find out what it was originally. I'd probably pick one or have someone pick one for me once all my hope is gone. As for nicknames I don't mind them, as long as they fit me I guess."

Aelynis Micrathenos (Sister-in-law - wife of Premidius’s late brother)
His family was given nobility status a long time ago when there were very few people in power in his region. However with time and the expansion of surrounding kingdom his family has lost almost all land and power they had and are nobles only on paper. This is why Premidio has the title of Lord but don’t actually have any lordship over anything.
Him and his family are still wealthy enough for him to wander and fool around without having to work a proper job. The few remaining Micrathenos live of the fortune Erimedas Micrathenos makes from is Ceallian Fur empire. Ceallian Minks are rather hard to hunt making their fur rare and expensive. However Elf Owls are well equipped for it which lead Erimedas and his hunters to build a near monopoly on the hunting and distribution of Ceallian Fur.
Species Trivia:
Elf Owls are actually not connected to elves, they got their names from their pointed ears and how they lived in villages hidden in the wood but are in fact more closely related to Vampires. They don’t burn in the sun but can shapeshift into owl the same way Vampires shift into bats and seem to enjoy blood-sucking just like them (they do not need that to survive though). They can sometimes be referred to as Strigskins.
These owlfolks prefer to live in temperate climate but are decently equipped to handle the colder weathers
War and Kingdom expensive greatly eroded at the Elf Owl population. These days they make up less than 1% of the realm’s population.
These folks are often sought after by powerful family to use them as messenger birds and trackers thanks to their owl shapeshifting.
