SOCIAL INFORMATION
Name: Nirrah
Loyalties: Efret Farr
Notable Possessions: None
Personality: Nirrah is friendly with those Efret is friendly with. -
Training:
- Nirrah's ability to use the Force [see Force Abilities subsection below] is innate; however, she and Efret have worked together over the years to sustain their Force connection;
- After mere months of knowing Efret, Nirrah came to understand basic Galactic Basic Sign Language. She follows commands given in it like <Go,> <Come,> and <See>;
- She can also grab small things with her prehensile tail and bring them to Efret when asked.
COMBAT INFORMATION
Combat Function: Nirrah can support Efret in combat depending on the circumstances. She is capable of attacking with her sharp talons and beak, but, due to her size, is easily swatted away by beings larger than her. For this reason, Efret tells Nirrah to remove herself to safety whenever combat is imminent.
Force Abilities -
- Visual telepathy: Though this alternative application of traditional, verbal telepathy, Nirrah can share what she sees with Efret. When she does, her field of vision imprints over Efret's. She still see in her own blurry peripheral vision, as the near-human field of view (180°) is larger that that of convorees (110°), but she has learned to ignore it.
Strengths -
- Nirrah be Nimble, Nirrah be Quick: Nirrah can fly at a maximum rate of about 55 km/h. She can also maneuver very quickly and agilely. When speed is required, she delivers.
- Sneaky Size: While her size is also a disadvantage at times [see Weaknesses section below], it also allows her to fit into small places that Efret cannot go.
- Transitive Vision: Whatever Nirrah sees, Efret sees when they are connected via visual telepathy. Nirrah is often on the Jedi master's shoulder when sharing her sight, but she can also be flying overhead. This allows Nirrah to scout out areas or otherwise communicate visual infornmation with Efret that she herself is not near.
- I'm Just a Baby: While not literally a youngling anymore, Nirrah's size makes her relatively vulnerable to any and all dangerous situations that she finds herself in.
- Lone
WolfOwl: In the wild, convorees work in pairs to fend of predators. Nirrah doesn't have another of her kind to help ensure each other's safety, so she can get into trouble when hunting for small rodents or insects and stumbles across a larger animal who wants to hunt her. - Night (and Dawn) Owl: Nirrah is crepuscular by nature. Since meeting Efret, she's adjusted her internal clock to be more diurnal. However, sometimes Nirrah stays up late into the night after Efret has gone to bed and has to nap during the day, leaving Efret to navigate by herself.
