Family Info

Mother -
User Image
Araceli is a lover of music and singing, which is how she and Kazalm connected. However, her hobbies also extend to stargazing and taking night time flights under the light of the moon. Very maternal and social, Araceli will be promoting the teachings of how to get all her boys some wonderful singing voices.
Father -

Kazalm, or "Melodious Breeze" as he goes by outside of the Wind Tribe, has been a lover of music, particularly singing, since the time he was woven. Fully embracing the Wind Tribe culture head on, he chose his gypsy name and set out to steal anything of importance from the land-dwellers below. What he stole however, was a little unusual. He would steal local songs from others and take them back to belt out to his fellow Wind Tribers. As a result, he's very knowledgeable on folk songs from a variety of tribes and is eager to share them with his family.
Brother 1 -
User Image
(owned by belloblossom) Adagio "Dancing Words" will be dramatic and charismatic. He will want to be the best singer of all of them, but rather than attend the stuffy Bard Collage the Wind Tribe has to offer, Adagio wants to travel to the Dark Tribe to explore their Theater and see if there isn't a way to combine both music and theater once he gets there. (That's right folks, Adagio's coming to introduce everyone to musical theater.)

Brother 2 -
User Image
(Owned by HeavenlySnow) Aside from his name, Malto "Shadow Notes" doesn't have much of a personality yet, but he's sure to love his brother as much as anyone else in the family!

A Pretty Lil' Song!
Username: PeterPan_da144
Idol's Name: Dolce; "Sweet Sonatas"
Personality: Dolce is a tender, shy, and sweet young cub. He tends to get a bit of stage fright when the possibility to sing in front of others comes up, but when he is alone, or even at home with his family, he belts out some of the sweetest and melodious tunes right along side them. His voice is a bit on the higher side, and he enjoys singing emotionally evocative songs, and, daresay, may just write one of the first love songs (or so he thinks, depending on if anyone else has one). He takes after his mother, enjoying night time flights beneath the stars, and doesn't have a particular need or want to travel. He doesn't mind being the "youngest", but he does get really uncomfortable if someone is trying to pressure him into public singing.
Will You RP him? Yes!!
Plot Ideas: One day, obviously, he will be finding a mate, but I think that is more likely to just wander into his life and smack him in the face moreso than him going out and actually looking. Someone who's a bit less shy, maybe more talkative, someone to balance him out. Heck, he could use a friend or two like this too, whether it is his siblings or not. If his older brother Adagio actually starts up musical theatre in the Dark Tribe, he would happily visit and see what it is like, but he will definitely need a companion to go along with him! His stage fright translates to general fright and the need to have someone beside him when he isn't singing. Bit of... not separation anxiety, but something quite similar, where he just doesn't like to be alone, aside from when he's singing. Which can also change.

Username: Ice_Dragon_Demon
Idol's Name: Overture "Secret Keeper"
Personality: Determined but Secretive, he keeps to himself, although he loves his family dearly. Overture hides a big secret. He can't sing! Not like the rest of his family. Overture still want's to live up to His families expectations. He can't handle the thought of them finding out so he seems distant, aloof and reluctant refusing to sing in front of them. He pretends he hates music Though don't let his face fool you he has a great passion for music so much it's always on his mind. Having no ability like his family he's determined to find a way he can help them even if he can't contribute the same.
Will You RP him? Oh of course >3
Plot Ideas: I can't sing - Coming off as flat and too sharp in some places, those in his family find out he can't sing much to his dismay.
Learning to write - He may not be able to sing like the rest of his family but His secret passion for music will be his reason to seek out a teacher for the written word. His father a great thief for music would benefit from this and Overture wants to help expand the tribes music.
Composer - as much of a jerk as he pretends to be there's always tunes and songs buzzing in his head. Once he learns to write he's going to start coming up with a way to write music down. he thinks it could be very beneficial having a written copy of music.
Conductor - Overture shares his new work with his family as he's composed some new songs for them to sing with new ideas with multiple voices to change the song's sounds. Most songs have been sung solo by single Balam.

A Pretty Lil' Song!
Username: Anderleit
Idol's Name: Sforzando "Flash Dance"
Personality: The youngest member of the Songbirds is going to be properly abashed when he discovers that he doesn't quite live up to the family name. It's not so much that he can't sing - he has the ability, although his siblings are likely to outshine him in talent. It's more like he prefers to vocalize. The twitter of a Paroo, or the sound of rushing water? Those, he can do, and the sounds bring him more joy than words even as a cub.

Where Sforzando excels, as his gypsy name will show, is dancing. He will grow to become an excellent flier, capable of dazzingly complex aerials, sweeping dives, and effortless maneuvers. This sky-dancing is his passion, and one he is eager to fold into the family tradition.

That said, the fact that he's a dancer in a family of song will always needle at him. All the more reason for him to throw himself into his passion that much more, and cover his weakness with a confidence to match. Every song sounds better with a little dynamic accompaniment, anyway, yeah? And who better to be the backup dancer than the handsome tah who, with a grin and wink, will be happy to steal the show.
Will You RP him? Yes
Plot Ideas: There might be some future friction between this guy and his mother due to her love of singing. He tries, really, he just doesn't feel like he's as good as the rest of the family. Whether this rift grows or just fades into an occasionally insecurity for Forza will depend largely on how it is handled.

He'll probably take to Dad's art-stealing style with gusto, although Forza will be looking for pilfer dance moves instead of songs.
