EVE-504: Crow Woods (Crowley)

Crow Woods got exiled in the early days of Beira's reign for speaking up against her. It was mostly a bad time to do it - just a few months later it became rather normal for grifix to do so and she stopped caring about it.

He remained exiled, but he gives no shit about it, coming and going as he pleases. He likes living alone in the woods, but he'll pop over to the Village every couple of days to visit his buddy, Dove Wings. Dove Wings is a castle guard, who always took his loyalty to the Queen very seriously. When other guards see Crow Woods they usually chase him off, but at this point it's just a formality and they don't care much about it.

Before he got exiled, he acted as a castle maid/guard however he felt like. Maybe that's why he got exiled so easy, he got on everyone's nerves for only doing whatever he pleased to. At one point he volunteered to babysit an orphan egg someone found, who needed someone to stay around it and feed it magic - that implied that he could sit around an do nothing all day as long as he was close to that egg. Because the egg absorbed magic mostly from him only, the kid was for most part biologically his. However, he got exiled soon after the kid, named Spice, hatched.

After that, he never really bothered with until her and her friends got exiled from the Everfree Village over some really messed up shit the Villagers did. The kids had really no fault in it, Crow knew the Village was messed up but that was next level.

Spice had grown up as an orphan in the castle, and had no real parental figure in her life. Dove Wings, who knew who her father was, would often check up on her and tried to teach her as much as he could between taking care of his duties, he cared a lot for the child. Crow knew about that, so after Spice got exiled he tried to persuade Dove to leave the Village with him and join the kids - but Dove Wings refused.

Crow started to lurk around the Divided Grifix Camp after that, and stopped visiting the Village. Spice doesn't like how familiar he acts around her considering she barely knows him. While she may know that he fed her egg magic, she doesn't think that makes him her father, and doesn't acknowledge him as such.
