Mucaro Tibiri ! He's my sona, his first name means owl in Taíno and his last name is short for grey bird (guatibiri). He rehabilitates abandoned lusii he finds and keeps them in his big barn. His lusus is an enormous fishing owl that fights off imperial drones— pic drawn by me :}

auroraverse, however, has set rules for names! at least one part of their name must relate to a space object/significant figure in astronomy
aurora koeia = aurora borealis + the taíno word for star
maera lagadha = alt name for the star sirius + earliest known hindu astronomer
