Talk:Ravenous Moon, Waning Heart

Although she's currently listed as a half-caste, I don't believe she falls into that category. Half-castes are the children of Celestial Exalted who are imbued with a measure of their power. I don't know if she's genetically a Person of the Air or a Wyld Mutant, but both of those would probably put her in the "Heroic Mortals" category. Her story makes it seem to me that she's a Wyld mutant, although now that I think about it, it would be pretty cool if she had always assumed her wings were due to her mother's exposure to Wyld energies while pregnant, but later found out that she had a Person-of-the-Air relative/ancestor, and her wings are a result of that - I don't know too much about her personality or if you've thought about it, Tony, but I could sort of see her being a little ashamed of them at times (Ash would tell her not to be, and she'd be a lot better about it now than she used to be, but it would creep up every now and then), and then upon learning that they're a trait inherited from ancestors, the wings become a source of pride. People of the Air do seem to have universally white wings, so we still may chalk the red-ness of them up to the Wyld :P.

Anyway, I like the character and the half-caste label got me thinking about her history, so I decided to throw up a suggestion.

((As a side note, Scroll of Heroes does say that People of the Air and humans are interfertile, and that mixed-species children may be born with or without wings, so it's possible that her mother may not have known about the ancestry because it had been a generation or two since a winged child was born. Again, all brainstorming, but I got to thinking so I wanted to write it down here.))
