*Gasp* You want me to tell you about my OCs? Well, how can I not? Well, I don't wanna talk your ear off, so I'll tell you about one.
So, let me tell you about Kuro, my crow shapeshifter. I made them for a story I was planning. I haven't gotten too far with that, but I still love all my characters. They are a genderfluid shapeshifter whose mother was a crow and other parent was a shapeshifter of some variety (shapeshifters in this world tend to be genderfluid). Kuro can currently only shift to a human form, but as they go out into the world and explore they learn new forms, though they always keep general mannerisms of a crow and always have very dark eyes, they can't change their eyes much.
Kuro is very curious about the world, but tends to be wery around strangers. They really only trust a few people. They were raised by crows, so they don't fully understand human rules and tend to get in a lot of trouble for it. They meant no harm, they just don't know better, but their friends usually end up in trouble because of it. They are a fairly young crow and are attracted to pretty, shiny things, which they often steal. They also like to play pranks on others, both friends and strangers. They are playful and have a lot of energy.
Shapeshifters in this world have a long lifespan and are often thought to be effectively immortal, at least when it comes to ageing, disease and injury can still kill them. They usually age at the same rate as their base species, but also have the same intelligence and characteristics as the species. Because of this, no one is sure how old Kuro is, but they can't be too old, since their crow mother is still alive.
fun fact, Kuro was named after a crow my friend saved.
Anyway, that's all for now. I could tell you more, but I don't wanna bore anyone. I just... love my birb child
