Cutie Mark: None!

 

History: Born and raised in Talonopolis to a mining foreman and a nestwife, she had an average upbringing of attempted pampering and being taught the value of honest, hard work... But that stuff was boring. Usually she had to compete with her 6 other siblings for things, especially attention. They usually kept to themselves, or at least Nessa did, playing with her siblings or having school friends come by to hang out. In truth, she was a bit too attached to her home, and usually felt nothing would change that.

 

Of course, things have a way of changing as one gets older, don't they? When she was getting close to that hopeless romantic age, it was then she met a big buff guy of a gryphon, handsome and strong! His name was Galahad, and he was her wonderful man from the get-go. Despite the almost hilarious size difference between the two, they were a match made in heaven who did almost everything together. They even briefly explored a career in mining together, though brief being the key word. Wish to broaden their horizons and see more together, they went on a fishing trip to the Clopton Shores... And never returned! Well, they did, but only to pack up and go right back! Nessa loved the ocean, and the experience of fishing. She couldn't get enough of it! So she certainly didn't complain when she and her darling husband decided to set roots in the little village of Bacalao Bay, to be among their own kind in a happy, safe environment.

 

The perfect place to start a family. And so they did! Their daughter Ryx turned out to be a bit of a handful, but Nessa couldn't have been a prouder parent. Her hatchling was strong, proud, and courageous, and had quite the wanderlust! Just like her parents! To an extent. Though now their pride and joy has gone off on her own. Nessa plays worrying mother too often for her own liking, but she knows her baby can handle herself. Besides, she doesn't mind an empty nest, so long as she still has Galahad.

 

Character Summary: 

Nessa will never admit she has little-gryphon-syndrome. After all, Galahad knows who's in charge! Or at least he better. Another thing she'll never admit is that she's starting to get on in years. She can still be scrappy and energetic, but typically prefers the quiet and solitude of a day of fishing. Galahad can be a handful, but the gryphess knows how to handle him, and often will drag him away before he can get into too much trouble. One thing for sure, he keeps her on her toes. 

 

She sometimes worries about her dearest daughter, and hopes she can find the perfect love like she did. Life seemed so much easier because of it. She has no problem with getting her talons dirty, however, helping her husband where she can with work, though it's not unlike her to lounge a bit and let the big guy take care of things. Not to say she's lazy in the least bit, of course! She still has to make sure Galahad behaves himself, and she's gotten very good at pinpointing his ear.

I wanted to make a snarky comment here but you did a good job of writing a birdwife, darn you! >C
