𖤓 HONG, THE PHOENIX 𖤓





The magnificent hero(ine?) of our tale, and Anton's protégé, roommate, & (self-proclaimed) confidant

An immortal sparrowhawk with powers beyond human comprehension. Despite their awe-inspiring abilities, they are very naïve and rather immature for their age due to a heavily sheltered upbringing. Their true origins are uncertain and their identity is shrouded in mystery. For example, are they male or female? Wouldn't you like to know? Too bad! Only they know the answer, and they're dead set on keeping it a secret.

They have many terrifying talents, and their specialty is pyrokinetics (AKA "fire magic"). Their magic is unwieldy due to a lack of discipline, so they refuse to use it frivolously in fear of hurting people. Another ability they possess is the power of reincarnation. They have been reborn infinitely since before the beginning of time, but with no memories of their past lives. Additionally, as a bird, they have retractable wing feathers that can be used for flying. However, they are currently recovering from a horrible injury that makes it difficult to protract said feathers and they haven't been able to fly in a while.

Energetic and easily excitable, they'd rather spend their time exploring and daydreaming instead of practicing their magic or listening to Anton's lectures. They're somewhat emotionally stunted and they tend not to think before they act or speak. Despite their shortcomings, though, they are amiable and generally pleasant to be around (something that cannot be said for Anton...).

    SHIT THAT NOBODY CARES ABOUT
  • They were diagnosed with ADHD and dyspraxia at a young age. They're pretty clumsy due to their dyspraxia and get injured frequently. Luckily Anton's charitable enough to heal them when his magic allows for it.
  • Because they are a phoenix, they are immune to burns and extreme heat. Their resting body temperature tends to be a couple degrees higher than the average human's at 100°F. Conversely, they're very sensitive to the cold and their magic functions poorly in cool temperatures.
  • They have an odd propensity for eating inedible objects such as insects, crayons, and erasers. This causes them to have frequent stomach upsets, but that does little to deter them.
  • Although their injuries are mostly healed, there is still some scarring on their left arm and chest. They are self-conscious about their scars and keep them bandaged at all times.
  • Their iconic hairstyle comes as a result of them often neglecting to brush it. Their personal hygeine is alright most of the time, but they're forgetful with certain tasks like brushing their hair and trimming their nails.

    COMIC APPEARANCES


    THE EVOLUTION

    Their first appearances were very youthful-looking. I've gotten better at drawing more realistic proportions, and my art style is a little less "cartoony". Their hair is also slightly shorter now, but that was by mistake. I think it looks better, though. They look more like an older teen/young adult in their current form, which was my intention all along. I still worry about making them look too childish sometimes, art is hard hahaha.

    All in all, I think their current appearance suits them the best. This is who they were meant to be all along.
