The Righteous Hero: Zenaida

Yua Daitan, also known by the hero name Zenaida, is the mother of Kareina Daitan. With electric blue hair that gives off a glow and a rod for a weapon that attracts electricity, she captures your attention with her striking appearance.

Her hero costume is inspired by Greek mythology. The clothes possess blue accents and gold plated metal pieces, she gives an aura of authority, refinement and elegance.

As a hero, Yua has never cared to deeply to make a show of her work nor to gain attention. She focuses on being in the field, patrolling, and making sure to protect the peace in highly populated areas.

A Short List of Doves In The USA That You May Confuse With Each Other

Mourning Dove Zenaida Macroura

Year-round native across most of the USA, with breeding populations up into Canada, and non-breeding populations extending into Mexico. Least Concern, plentiful, and often hunted for meat though hunting does little to lessen it's numbers. There is often a whistling sound heard when the mourning doves land and take off - it is not a call but rather a sound made by the feathers of the wings themselves.

Distinguishing features: Distinctive mournful woo-OOO-wooo, wooo, wooo call, occasionally, clean pale coloring of head and neck, darker wings with dark spots. Click here to hear!

Eurasian Collared Dove Streptopelia decaocto

European and Asian native, was introduced to North America, Japan and the Carribean. It is invasive in USA.

Distinguishing features: A quick, rolling sort of goo-GOO-goo call, similar to a rock dove coo. Also, they make a loud HAH sound when taking off or landing. Click here to hear!

White-Winged Dove Zenaida asiatica

White winged doves are native to the very southern parts of the USA and to Mexico and the Carribean.

Distinguishing features: Bright red eye surrounded by blue skin, brownish feathering with a dark stripe below the cheek on each side of the nect, the bold white stripe along the leading edge of the wings.

Common Ground Dove Columbina Passerina

Small dove species native to the southernmost parts of the following: California, Southern Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida in the USA, most of Mexco and Central America, and the northern parts of South America including Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, small parts of Peru and Ecuador and parts of northern Brazil.

Distinguishing features: Small size, overall brownish coloring with dark mahagony primaries and dark spots that glisten blue on the wings. Similar in some ways to the Mourning Dove but has a much shorter tail and is smaller.

Inca Dove Columbina Inca

Native to southern parts of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, Mexico, and parts of Central America.

Distinguishing Features: Pale coloring overall with a distinctive "scale' like edge on the feathers of the body. Noticeably smaller than the well known Rock Dove/Pigeon, and shorter overall than the mourning dove.
