Tawnette
One of the four protagonists of Crooked Wings, along with Zelrik, Veezal, Kaiyara, and Tawnette.
Birthday: 20-7-511 in Sobrasha of the Vyerakh Empire
Tawnette, of the 4 protagonists of Crooked Wings, has the most healthy relationship with her siblings (if any?) and parents. Disabled by a stroke in her youth, she does not blame her family for it, and they do not blame her. They just want her to be happy. Her family has some distress over her new field of work (Violet Fulgurite work is known to not be particularly safe, even for Technicians like her), esp because they're concerned she has a deathwish
(she doesn't actually want to die, but her parents are entirely off the mark: Tawnette would like to live, but views the prospect of dying on the job as a way to never again wake up with the pain of never being an artist again)
[and if she gets some workman's comp from life insurance? that's an added bonus]

Tips for Writing a Character Biography:
Consistency: Ensure consistency in the character's actions, motivations, and development.
Depth: Aim for depth rather than breadth. It’s better to have a well-developed character than one with numerous shallow traits.
Evolution: Allow room for character growth and changes over time.
Relevance: Focus on details that are relevant to the story and the world of Birdsong.
Remember, a character biography is not just a static document; it can evolve as your story progresses. It's a tool to help you understand your characters deeply and portray them more authentically in your narratives.
