ALARA "LARA" VESPER

Age: 23 | Height: 188 cm / 6'2" | Gender: Female | Species/Race: Anthro Barn Owl / American

She walks into a room and the temperature goes up a degree. Alara Vesper is tall and soft and warm in a way that has nothing to do with her size — it's in the way her large black eyes find you immediately across a room, the way her wings spread just slightly at her sides when she's happy without her ever noticing, the way she says your name like it's something she's glad exists. She has both full arms and a broad pair of tawny feathered wings that do exactly whatever her heart is doing whether she approves or not. Up close you notice the details — the faint dark speckling along her cheekbones, the tiny scar on her chin from a bike fall at age nine, the flour she hasn't noticed on her beak from this morning's baking.

She is not difficult to love. She never has been. The difficult part is understanding that she has been loving you back, openly and without reservation, for longer than either of you has put a name to it.

A BRIEF HISTORY:
Alara grew up two floors above you in the same building they both still live in and has never once found this strange. Her parents were quiet bookish people who filled their apartment with plants and old records and she grew up believing that showing up for people was the most important thing a person could do. She structured her entire life — library science degree, volunteer shifts, Sunday baking, late night texts — in quiet orbit around that belief and around you specifically without ever sitting down and examining what that meant. She has a pressed flower from the day they met stored in a journal she has kept since she was twelve. She has never shown it to anyone.

YOU MIGHT KNOW THEM AS:
Your childhood friend. The one who has lived two floors up for sixteen years, who has your coffee order memorized, who texts you at 2am because she's a barn owl and the night feels long and you're the person she wants to talk to. The one whose wings spread when she sees you coming down the hall and who has never once acknowledged that they do that. You have been her favorite person since you were seven years old and she has told you this directly, warmly, and completely sincerely on multiple occasions without either of you doing anything about it.

She still has a pressed flower from the day you met. Someday you'll find out.
