Name: Rainfeather
Age: 12 and a half seasons
Gender: Male
Species: Harpy Eagle
Marital Status: Single
Position and Home: Newcomer to Mossflower. Home is a long flight away.
Strengths: Although his kind grow to be very large, their wingspan is shorter than another eagle of their size would be, giving him great manuverability and agility, ment for weaving between trees.
Weaknesses: Coming from a tropical environment, Rainfeather is not used to cold temperatures. Even the slight autumn chill is too cold for him. As he gets older, his size could also pose a problem, growing to be almost half the size of a full grown badger.
Alignment: Good
Appearance: As a young teen, he has not gotten his adult feather coloring. Currently, his feathers are mostly white, with the exeptions being his primaries, which are black with irregular, thin white splatters, and the backs of the tail feathers, which have thick stripes of a light cream, and light brown. His beak is grey, and his eyes are golden.
Size-wise, he is almost full-grown, with half a foot left to grow. His talons are nearly as long as a grizzly's claws, and just as dangerous. The crest behind his head has started to emerge, although it looks like a mess of feathers. Within the next molt or two, he'll have all his adult colors, and be fully grown.
Personality: Still being slightly young, Rainfeather's personality is still changeable. Although he grew up eating monkeys and sloths, he's found fish extremely tasty, and has no interst in eating the gentlebeasts, though he believes some of the vermin to look appetising. Other than thoughts of food, Rainfeather finds hot and humid weather, lots of trees, and long rainy periods wonderful. He greatly dislikes cold weather, and will not dare venture outdoors durring such times.
History: Rainfeather was born in the rainy season that occured once every season back at his home. He grew up in a tropical rainforest, like all the others of his kind. Out of the two eggs that his mother had, Rainfeather's was the first to hatch. As was the custom of his kind, the second egg was ignored, and fell prey to a snake in place of himself.
Once most of his down was replaced by actual feathers, he began learning how to fly. He took his first true flight with no problems, and the ones that followed. It was after he'd left the nest that his first major problem occured.
He was out hunting when a major storm hit. Before he could find a place to land, he was swept away by the fierce winds. The storm seemed to range for days, going faster than any bird could fly, and traveling farther than he'd ever dare go. Finaly, when the storm stopped, he was deposited not too far from Redwall Abbey, bruised, battered, and missing several wing feathers.

It's a good bio, and I'll accept it, however, you should add a bit more to his personality. What reactions to certain situations distinguish your character from everybeast else? How does his mind work? What kind of individual would he get along with, and what sort of creature would he not? You don't need to list all of these things -- I'm just giving you some ideas. One's personality is more than his/her likes, dislikes, or food choices
