Biology

...


Not a living being in the usual sense- created and sustained by magic.
Has no need to eat or drink. Only sustenance required is a steady flow of magical energy. Must store and use magic to survive.
Needs to recharge like a battery. When low on energy, blue spots on pelt dull or fade completely and she becomes lethargic. Relies on others for survival for she has no way to draw on forest magic without immediately using it. Needs others to cast magic onto her.
Her left eye is something of a marvel. Conventionally blind; instead lets her 'see' magic. This sensation is overwhelming for a child, especially around forest residents who have their own magic. Usually keeps this eye shut tight. Has poor depth perception.
Capable of swallowing just about anything that will fit in their mouth. Abnormally strong jaws and teeth that can bite hunks out of rock, bone, wood, you name it. Uncertain what happens to materials once she swallows them. Seems to make the child feel unpleasant, otherwise no other side effects.

Origin

  A familiar who takes the form of a jet black rooster. Bound to and created from the same man who created Bonejaw. Sent into the forest to guard his master's newest creation. Also given the task of observing as much of the forest and its residents as possible. Has existed alongside his creator for years but was never given a name. Expects others to call him what he appears to be: a rooster.
  His very essence is tied to the chicken skull Bonejaw wears on her at all times. Capable of protecting her as long as she wears it. His protective magic has its limits though. Can see pictograms, but not nearly as much of the forest's magic as Bonejaw is able to see. Cannot use forest magic at all. Painful to have it cast upon him: he's incompatible. Dislikes the forest on principle because of this.
  Has intelligence comparable to a human's, but is incapable of speech. Will try to scratch words or pictograms in the dirt, but its never very effective. A huge source of frustration for the bird.
  May wander around the forest spying on others, but keeps an eye and ear out for Bonejaw at all times. Tries to come across as aloof and uncaring, but dotes on the child just as well as any 'mother hen'. Still, quick to become frustrated and tends to throw fits. Overall, likes the child begrudgingly and is duty-bound to protect her.

Connections

Rooster.
    At her side upon her creation and arrival in the forest. Her guardian and companion. He only seems to tolerate her for the moment, but this goes right over Bonejaw's head. Gets mad when he's grumpy, and forces him to play with her.
