You walk in the forest as the spring awakens, just to see the beauties of nature...

Details

The magic is flowing in the air, sparkling in the light of sun as the dawn of the spring equinox approaches. Cubs run around, laughing, playing with the gifts they recieved from their friends. Lovers sit aside, quietly, enjoying the company of their beloved ones. Soon the sun will set and the light of the stars will make the magic in the air shimmer, truly a sight to see.

"Good evening my Queen!" a cheerful voice made itself heard on the belcony where Rosa was watching the Village from.

"Oh!" Rosa exclamed, startled by the pink grifix who walked in too quietly for her to notice. "Good to see you, Valentine. Is there anything I may help you with?"

"Why would I need such a reason to want to see you my Queen? I simply wanted to greet you on this wonderful day! It is, after all, your favorite holiday."

"Oh, thank you then, Valentine"

"But that's not all!" Valentina grabbed her light beans wil her paw and struggled to unstick them from her face. She then offered them to the Queen, smiling. "Because you, my queen, are what I love the most!"

"Oh, my, Valentine, you shouldn't have... At least wait until they fall off themselves, you could get hurt!" The queen said while taking the light beans from Valentina's paw.

"I didn't want to miss you, I know you're very busy today, waiting for them to fall would've meant I coul've missed the opportunity to give them to you!"

The queen let out a soft giggle. 

"Thank you, Valentine"

Hello everyone, and welcome to the event we're hosting for The Heartfire Holyday and Rosa's Day!

If you didn't know, The Heartfire Day is one of the Everfree Village's four major holidays, this one honoring the Spring Equinox, a day in which the grifix's magic is stronger than usual. Rosa's Day is a holiday in honor of Queen Rosa, and it is held on the day where most flowers bloom.

In this event, you will get the opportunity to contribute to the grifixverse lore and earn some unique rewards for it, such as items that give you access to exclusive traits!

The event will consist of three challenges spreat over six weeks (two weeks each). Each challenge will have special participation rewards and a classament, where you can earn points depending on your rank. At the end, a new classament will be made where every person's points will be added, and the winner, along with the following two spots, will earn special rewards!

The first challenge is...

come up with a bird species that lives in the grifixverse!

This means you will have to create an original species of bird that lives somewhere in the grifixverse, preferably around one of the Grifix Settlements.

The birds will be FAUNA, so they are not intelligent. Just animals.

Here's the stuff you will have to cover:

✦ You will have to draw it, but I will NOT judge based on the art. That will only be used for reference when added on the site. So it doesn't matter how good or terible the art is.

✦ You will have to give a detailed description of their appearance, covering the general traits that every individual of this species has

✦ You will have to mention where they live (The Everfree Forest, The Frozen North, etc.)

✦ Describe the species' customs, diet, anything that you feel like it needs mentioning

✦ Bonus Points: describe the relationship the grifix have with this species: Do they use it for food, medicine, accessories? Are there legends regarding this bird?

PS: If you tell me the grifix keep them as pets you will get negative points. It's a cheap solution and I DO NOT LIKE IT. Get creative.

RULES:

✦ You don't have to cover everything from the list, but it is preferable that you do. The more you cover, the more points you get. If the art provided is unclear, make sure you do provide a detailed description of the species' appearance.

✦ You can talk about the event, debate with other participants and ask me questions about it in the #loveliest-woods channel on the discord server. You're free to ask for help from anyone that's willing to help you, but I will not mendle in the discussion like I do with normal lore stuff, and I will not give suggestions. You will have to figure out what I will like and what I will find unfitting for the grifixverse lore, cause I won't say a thing!

✦ You can make AS MANY ENTRIES AS YOU WANT. And you will get points for each. The classament will be for the entries, not the people, so it is possible that one person will take up all of the first spots, or they will be mixed.

✦ Each bird species will take up ONE ENTRY. Post every entry separately in the Gallery, in the "Character Art" folder. Put the main bird image as image and the description as literature text, like in the image below:

Note that you can add more images of that same bird, create subspecies and stuff. In that case, add those as individual images in the gallery with no text, and add them in the text section of the main submission post (so it looks like that image that's in the text field in the image above). You WILL get more points if doing this. Feel free to ask for help with this.

✦ All of the species created will remain permanently in the grifixverse! Their lore will be polished, clear images of them will be made and they will all be introduced as FAUNA on the site. They will also be usable as sphirix shapes (legendary).

✦ Try to be creative and unrestrained by this! These things are fiction, so try to make them fun and interesting, you can give them supernatural abilites or anything you like!
