Juju

Overview

Juju is a small bird found by Fen and cared for by Berchad, the pigeon fancier of the Kasirga Clan. The bird became Fen’s companion after Cayrat Steinn’s death and serves as a scout during expeditions, signaling when no danger is nearby.

Discovery

Fen found Juju as a small, frail bird on an endless plain of withered grass. It was so frail, as if it had just fallen from its nest, though there were no trees around. It chirped weakly as she nestled it against her chest. She brought it to Berchad for help.

Naming

After Cayrat Steinn’s death and funeral ceremony, Fen hesitated for a long time before giving her little charge a name, but decided on Juju. That’s what the Wind had whispered to her.

Character

The bird flapped its wings and caressed Fen’s hand with its crest during her grief, as if trying to comfort her. Berchad had somewhat revived it and cared for it in the pigeon loft of The Ouroboros.
