Half-Harpy
The tale of the Half Harpies can be traced back to an ancient love story that defied the boundaries between the earth and the sky. Legend has it that a human adventurer and a harpy formed an unbreakable bond, transcending the differences between their species. In their love, they discovered a magical connection that allowed them to conceive offspring that bore both human and harpy traits instead of the harpy dominant side being born, the name of this connection was known as True Love.
Half Harpies are a striking blend of human and bird features within the edges of their hands as talons. Although they maintain a predominantly human appearance, their most distinctive traits manifest in their wings, which resemble those of their harpy parent. These wings, adorned with colourful feathers, grant them the ability to soar gracefully through the skies, albeit with less proficiency than full-blooded harpies.
