Flare Phoenix

Flare Phoenix is a newly introduced Rebel character, is based off the stories The Golden Bird and mythology The Phoenix she joins students at Ever After High in 2016.

The Phoenix
In Greek mythology, a phoenix is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. According to some sources, the phoenix dies in a show of flames and combustion, although there are other sources that claim that the legendary bird dies and simply decomposes before being born again.

The phoenix is sometimes pictured in ancient and medieval literature and medieval art as endowed with a nimbus, which emphasizes the bird's connection with the sun.In the oldest images of phoenixes on record these nimbuses often have seven rays, like Helios (the personified sun of Greek mythology). Pliny the Elder also describes the bird as having a crest of feathers on its head, and Ezekiel the Dramatist compared it to a rooster.Although the phoenix was generally believed to be colorful and vibrant, there is no clear consensus about its coloration. Tacitus claims that its color made it stand out from all other birds. Some thought that the bird had peacock-like coloring, and Herodotus' claim of red and yellow is popular in many versions of the story on record.Ezekiel the Dramatist declared that the phoenix had red legs and striking yellow eyes, but Lactantius said that its eyes were blue like sapphires and that its legs were covered in scales of yellow-gold with rose-colored talons.

The Golden Bird (Brothers Grimm)
Every year, a king's apple tree is robbed of one golden apple during the night. He sets his sons to watch, and though the first two fall asleep, the youngest stays awake and sees that the thief is a golden bird. He tries to shoot it, but only knocks a feather off.

The feather is so valuable that the king decides he must have the bird. He sends his three sons, one after another, to capture the priceless golden bird. The sons each meet a talking fox, who gives them advice for their quest: to choose a bad in over a brightly lit and merry one. The first two sons ignore the advice and, in the pleasant inn, abandon their quest.

Personalty
Flare is considered as being an easy-going bird, she has an adventurous personality and is keen to fly off on some amazing adventures by herself and rarely comes back to school until she claims amazing treasures so she can show her friends. She is also been characterised as being a very daring bird doing anything to please others, sometimes people who don't know her think she is a thief known in some stories as she was portrayed in stories for stealing items however she is not like that thats the main reason of why she wants to walk away from her story and do things which can really get her feathers ruffled.
