Fletcher C. Corax

"Quiver and I are the reason a group of ravens are called a conspiracy"

- Fletcher on her and her brother's shady business

Fletcher C. Corax is a 2017 introduced original character. Fletcher is the daughter of the raven from the Native American story; Why Coyote Stopped Imitating his Friends, and fully embraces her role, no matter how small it is. Brought up with the idea that following the law won't feed and clothe you, she learnt from a young age how to provide for herself, in more ways than one, because nobody else is going to. Now she's thought to be an omen of bad luck, and not just because she's a raven.

Personality
Fletcher is inquisitive, there's no two ways about it. The smart students at Ever After High have learnt to keep any personal information to themselves when they see a raven flying overhead, in fear that it might be Fletcher doing her daily rounds. She claims that, as a keeper of secrets (as believed by the Native Americans), she has to know peoples secrets to keep and protect them. And that is one thing that Fletcher stands by, she will never tell another soul a secret she was told in confidence. But who trusts the word of a raven.

Not one to give up easily and without a fight, the secretism of her fellow students in her presence has only made Fletcher more determined to discover what they hide from prying eyes. Now she only works that much harder to keep herself hidden when she scouts the school for juicy info. This stubbornness, coupled with her passion for success, means that nine times out of ten, Fletcher will get her desired result.

For those who partake in the more...shady activity in the school, Fletcher is the girl they go to if they want somebody that they can count on to watch their back, and not stab them, while they  execute their dishonorable deed. With her keen, bird enhanced eye sight, she can spot danger a mile off and her unwavering concentration and patience means she can observe her surroundings for hours on end, or until the exploit has been carried out.

It is simple to win her friendship, you only have to do something remotely nice for her and you will become her new best friend, though that's always considered to be a good thing. But her loyalty and trust are much harder to gain. The only one she trusts enough to tell her own secrets to is her twin brother, he is the only person who knows what makes Fletcher tick. Only Quiver knows that, every Sunday evening without fail, she sneaks off to the village of Bookend with a basket of left over food from the cafeteria, stolen by him, and hands it out at Forgotten Fables Orphanage. She's confided in Quiver that she does it because she identifies with the kids there and she doesn't want them to end up like her when she was younger, having to fight every day to survive and doing underhand things just to make a little bit of money to live on. If only somebody had come along and showed her kindness when their mum died, maybe she wouldn't be the way she is now.

Now with a reason to use her intelligence for something other than finding a new way to make money, Fletcher has made a place for herself at the top of most of her classes. Her mind is sharp and quick and she excels in problem solving and being put in difficult situations. But one area where her smarts fail her is in the IT sector. She can't seem to get her head around computers and how they work. It frustrates her to no end how she can't understand something that others her age find so easy. To combat this and bring herself up to the level of others, she has started taking extra classes but even those are slow going and she has only mastered the basics so far, if you can call turning on the computer and typing a few words the basics.

She has a silver tongue in her black beak and uses it when ever she pleases. If she wanted to, she could convince Head Master Grimms that Rebels aren't that bad a thing after all, if she had enough time of course. And she is all the time persuading her Quiver that by doing her homework for her he is actually benefiting himself not her as she will be the one who won't know how to do the work but he'll be great at it.

Extremely active, Fletcher's energy levels are through the roof and it seams that she is forever joining new sports teams and clubs. By this stage her take offs and landings are spot on with the amount of flying she does and her shifts into her raven form are so seamless, any onlooker would think it is an instant change instead of a gradual change of every body part. She is also very playful, sometimes even acting like a little kid before remembering herself.

Personal hygiene is very important to her and she won't leave her room until she is sure she looks immaculate. She carries around a little bottle of disinfectant in her bag, just in case she needs it. When ever she sees him, which is very often, they are nearly inseparable, Fletcher gives out to Quiver for the state he always looks, but she has stopped trying to making him change his ways as it is a fruitless endeavor.

Whether it be what she wears that day or how she goes about discovering peoples secrets, Fletcher lives in the heat of the moment. Not one to plan anything in advance, she makes all her decisions on the spur of the moment without much thought about what her actions could lead to for her and the people around her. Give her a big red button saying 'do not press', what will she do? You can be certain she will press it.

Hobbies
Discovering Secrets: If, for any reason, you go out looking for Fletcher during the morning before classes, you need only look up and wait for a raven to pass into your field of vision and you've probably found either her or her brother who will know where she is. to speed things along, try whispering something to somebody beside you and you can be sure that she will on you in a flash. This time, right before the bell rings for school, is reserved for Secret Hunting as she calls it and god help anyone who interrupts her for anything none life threatening at this time.

Flying: Going hand in hand with Secret Hunting, flying is Fletcher's second favorite activity. And while she uses flying to get around a lot, it's when she has hours to spend doing nothing but fly is when she really feels like she is flying. It's more than just flapping a pair of wings made out of countless of feathers (that's not true, Fletcher has 5,490 on her left wing and 5,450 on her right, she's counted). No, flying, to her at least, is also the feeling of being free, of forgetting everything and of just enjoying the wind through her feathers.

Archery: A necessity for her destiny, Fletcher and Quiver were both taught from a young age how to shoot by their father. Although she's loath to admit it, Quiver has much better aim than she does, though that's not to say she isn't still a good shot. But her power, from all the flight, is unmatched. She tried the Archery club for a while but left soon after joining as she prefers practicing alone, Quiver is allowed to join her from time to time.

Capella: Now, don't get her wrong, she knows she's no singer, but this raven can beat box like a champion. Fletcher can make any combination of noises with her voice, even a few at the same time and can provide the backing sounds to mostly any song. That combined with her ability to keep a great beat, Capella groups should be lining up to get her into their group, but it's hard to beat a stereotype.

Appearance
Small and nimble, Fletcher even resembles a bird while she in human form, with sharp and prominent bones, especially around her shoulders, neck and arms. But don't let her looks fool you into thinking she is delicate and to be handled gently, she can look after herself with the deadly power she is able to pull from her bow.

Her skin is a warm brown color, a trait she received from her Native American heritage. Her face is squared with and she has quite a large forehead and a sharp jaw line. Her nose is straight and thin and centers her face nicely. Her lips are the only place makeup ever touches, and not only because lipstick is the easiest type to put on, liking to keep them a simple light pink.

Mysterious, deep brown eyes crinkle whenever she smiles, which makes her look younger than her years. They are surrounded by thick black eyelashes which saves her the trouble of having to try and put on mascara. Her eyebrows, though mostly straight, arch at the ends, which gives her the appearance that she is raising them at something stupid Quiver said, which probably most of the time.

Falling around her face most of the time, her hair is long and thick and needs constant care and brushing. It's mostly pitch black but with strands of dark navy blue thrown in here and there to break up the dark void that it is. It's her favorite feature about herself and she looks after it over all else.

Logan Browning would be my choice to represent Fletcher. I really don't have any good reasons why, she just kinda reminds me of her.

How does Fletcher come into it?
After the events of the story, the raven met the love of his life, a beautiful female raven called Tori. She changed him, no longer was he the fake friend who took pleasure in others misfortune. They became mates and had two chicks, Fletcher being the first one who hatched, a fact she never stops repeating to Quiver, the other, 'weaker', chick and her twin brother. Back then things were great for the Corax family, Shade was happy and with the best mate he could ever imagine, Tori loved her children dearly and would sing them to sleep every night with that amazing voice of hers, though the twins never understood the words. Fast forward a couple of years and that peaceful time has all but gone up in flames.

Family
Brought up to fend for herself and in a house full of men, Fletcher both feels bitter but a little grateful towards her father for how she was raised. Though it was hard growing up being expected to do everything for herself, making her own money to buy food and new clothes, it has made her grow into an independent girl who knows how to look after herself and who doesn't have to rely constantly on others, though maybe sometimes Quiver, and for that she is thankful.

She has three brothers, Quiver, he twin, Kangee (raven in Native American), the bane of her life, and Munin (memory in old Norse), who she adores.

Tori Avian
Fletcher's mother died when she was 5 and therefor Fletcher has few memories of her. She lost her life delivering Fletcher's youngest bother, Munin. One of her few memories of her mother is when they taught Kangee, her youngest brother at the time, how to fly. Fletcher can still remember her laugh but her face has faded over time to the point that, when asked to describe her appearance, Fletcher simply can't.

Shade Corax
After her mothers death, Fletcher was left heartbroken but quickly had to push her feelings away and get over it as her father, now a single parent, didn't make enough money from his low income job to provide for all his children's wants and needs. Choosing to use any and all money he made to feed Kangee and Munin, Fletcher and Quiver were forced to source their own money to survive, which decreased their love for their father immensely. Now older, they understand he had no other option and have forgiven him, well, Fletcher has anyway.

Quiver Corax
Though he is technically younger than her (Fletcher is older by 5 minuets) Quiver likes to act as her older brother and constantly refers to her as his 'baby sister'. Although it can be annoying at times, she doesn't stop him as she has always wanted an older sibling to look out for her. But it ends up that she is normally the one looking out for him, looking out for danger as he pick pockets their fellow students. See the Corax twins have a system; Fletcher scouts around, finding suitable targets and where they keep their valuables, then when the time is right, Quiver swoops in [pun intended] and relieves them of their expensive belongings. The robberies are so well known around the school that students have started calling the thief 'The Harpy' as the twins leave a single brown feather, always careful that it's not one of their own black ones, in the bag of the victim as a calling card.

Pet
Being a bird herself, Fletcher doesn't believe in having a pet of her own, though she does introduce Quiver in his raven form to people she doesn't know because she loves seeing their faces when he turns into a human when their go to stroke his feathers.
