Craven
The Familiar
"Everyone needs a raven. You lot just happen to have the best one."
Craven is far more than an ordinary raven.
Sharp-tongued, endlessly sarcastic, and blessed with an opinion on absolutely everything, he has an uncanny talent for speaking the truth when everyone else is too stubborn to admit it. Whether he's insulting Thorne, mocking Selene, or reminding Alasdair not to take himself so seriously, Craven has become the unlikely heart of the group.
His wit often disguises a deeper purpose.
Rarely caught off guard, Craven notices the smallest details others overlook. He serves as scout, messenger, and constant companion, his keen eyes watching from above while danger gathers below. Though he complains loudly whenever he's asked to help, he is always the first to return when his friends need him most.
His loyalty cannot be bought, and his courage is far greater than his small size suggests.
To strangers, he's an irritating bird with an impossible vocabulary. To his companions, he's family.
And despite his endless grumbling, Craven would fly into the jaws of darkness itself before abandoning those he loves.
"I'm surrounded by beautiful idiots. Good thing you've got me to keep you alive."
