World-building Wednesday 2

Building on last week's world building Wednesday, having established the general characteristics of a particular kingdom, let's turn attention to the characters.

One of the main characters is a young female Avian named Bimbi. She is inspired by a bower bird, renowned for stealing shiny blue things to build its nest. With this in mind, it makes sense to find out that she is a thief and loves shiny things, a characteristic that gets her into trouble in the story when she steals on particular shiny thing that is of utmost importance.



Here is the original bird (sourced from Wikipedia)

'Bimbi' itself means 'bird' in one of the Indigenous Australian languages. Most of the names of my characters have double meanings :) I won't always post what they are, so see if you can guess them in the future :D
