Introducing Haiiro πŸͺ½:>

​

Hello to everyone in this community!

I'm not a huge fan of Ranma 1/2, but I found the story interesting and it's pretty good. 😐🀨

Anyway, I'll get straight to the point: I've noticed there are very few non-human characters who are actually relevant to the plot. (Note: the cursed ones πŸ·πŸ±πŸΌπŸ¦† don't count because in the end they're still themselves). πŸ™„

So I decided to make my own OC: Haiiro (灰色) πŸ˜ƒ

ORIGIN AND CHARACTERISTICS:

He's a grey heron with the ability to speak (considering this universe has magic, and supernatural beings and things, I don't think a talking bird is that much6 of a stretch) πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.

He's neutral in personality and has a sharp tongue. He's a frequent visitor to the Tendo Dojo. At first he only came for the koi in the garden pond. Back then he was a nuisance who'd eat the fish one by one, which frustrated Mr. Soun a lot. So he'd call on Ranma whenever he could to chase him off, but that just ended up with the bird teasing and making fun of him 😝.

It wasn't until he got caught off guard during one of his little heists that he was hit with a surprise attack from Ranma. It left him bruised, with a slight wound around his neck and feathers scattered from his wings πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«.

Of all the residents of the Dojo, the one he likes the most and has the greatest respect for is Kasumi πŸ˜‡, because she was the only one who felt sorry for him. When he was hurt, she bandaged his wounds πŸ€• and even put a green ribbon (which he's kept ever since) around his neck to cover his scar.

What started as distrust from him turned into respect and loyalty. He apologized to Soun and gave his word that he wouldn't eat the koi anymore. And once he got his ability to fly back πŸͺ½, every now and then when he comes back he lands on the kitchen windowsill with a sack full of fresh fish, shrimp, and crayfish in his beak as a thank-you gift πŸŸπŸ¦πŸ¦€.

From that point on, he's gotten a bit closer to the dojo. He flies around Nerima and perches on rooftops, watching everything that happens to everyone else. Sometimes he even gets a little involved. Even though he promised not to hurt the fish, he still has those instinctive, voracious impulses, so any small creature might look appetizing to him: sparrows, frogs, insects, and even Ryōga himself whenever he turns into a pig 🐽. Of course, with Akane stepping in he keeps a safe distance so he doesn't get beaten up.

Despite all that, he somehow became useful, since being able to fly and talk makes him a kind of "messenger" βœ‰οΈ. They use him to deliver messages, run errands, or even find Ryōga when he gets lost. And for example, when the protagonist or someone else is in dangerous combat situations with the risk of fatal falls, he can fly over the area, scout it out as a tracker, and gain a tactical advantage, ready to rescue any of his companions if they fall. If needed, he's also strong enough to carry them with his feet. Though he'll always charge his fee in fish.

FIGHTING STYLE:

Despite his slender and fragile appearance, this bird has more than one trick up his wing. Besides talking, he can be useful in combat. His main weapons are: beak and talons, plus his smooth speed and stealth. He tends to make wide circular movements using his wingspan and uses his wings to create strong gusts of wind that throw the opponent off balance πŸŒͺ️πŸ’₯.

TRIVIA:

- Just like with Kasumi, he has a certain respect for Dr. Tofu. In his words, besides her, Tofu is the second human he likes. When he flies over to his clinic to deliver a bento (courtesy of Kasumi), Tofu always gives him a little plate with pieces of salted fish πŸ˜‹.

- Whenever Ranma is affected by the Nekoken 😺 he tends to see Haiiro as potential prey. The bird notices, and usually tries to ignore him or gives him an annoyed look when he's like that. But if things escalate, he won't hesitate to teach him a lesson by chasing him around with pecks, squawks, and flapping wings.

- He has an irrational hatred of domestic ducks πŸ¦†, so his relationship with Mousse isn't exactly friendly. On top of that, he's interested in trying duck πŸ—.

- Besides fish, he's developed a taste for other foods, mostly salty ones. Blame Kasumi or Nabiki, who sometimes give him pieces of onigiri or tempura 🀀.

- He has a deep dislike for Taiyaki because of its deceptive fish-like look and sweet taste πŸ˜‘.

- He doesn't like being called a "pet." Especially when it's said by people who don't even really know him πŸ’’.

- Haiiro shows a certain fondness for the young engaged couple. Sometimes he makes teasing but harmless comments about Ranma and Akane from the rooftops, letting out squawks and cackling laughs 😜.

- He's able to communicate with and understand other animals that can't talk. Technically he could work as a translator... but honestly, he couldn't care less πŸ™„.

- His favorite spot in the Dojo will always be near the koi pond in the garden. Now the only thing he can do there is perch on the rocks, sunbathe, preen his feathers, and give Ranma a silent, mocking stare every time he gets wet πŸ’¦.

- If someone asks him why he can talk, he just shrugs his wings and says: "If a parrot 🦜 can, why can't I?" and flies off. He never gives a straight answer.

- At first his name was going to be "Sagi-rama," then "Ro-kei," then "Satoru," until it finally ended up as what it is now: Haiiro "Grey". Ignoring the fact that the feathers on his wings actually have bluish tones.

- His best friend is a Japanese night heron 🐦, although that's not even relevant to the main plot.

- He's connected to the strange phenomenon Aosaginohi (青鷺火). If you ever see fluorescent blue lights in the night sky πŸŒƒ, it's probably that talking heron.

So... what do you guys think? πŸ˜…

I have started a personal collection of drawings of all the animals from the first game. :D

So far, I've completed 31 out of the 210, and with the arrival of new animals for the sequel... I guess I'll have to increase that number πŸ˜…
