Cardinal

Cardinal is an NPC only written and talked about by other characters. She is an alternate Alyssa who was traveling partners with The Clear Sky Hermit.

Appearance
Cardinal appears as an older Alyssa and is almost identical to her save for her markings, which vary.

Cardinal wears a light brown shirt and slightly darker skirt with a red zig-zag pattern on it. She has two red earrings in her ears and a teardrop necklace.

Pre-Historian Cardinal's makeup was red, streaking from a tear-like pattern from her eyes to her chin, with the red lines in her wing membranes. She also had two dots on each of her fingers. She had a golden armband which she lost prior to becoming a Historian.

Post-Historian Cardinal kept the dots on her hands as well as the line through her wings. Her facepaint now covers everything from her nose above as well as a stripe above her lip. She has more tiger stripes on her arms and wings.

Personality
Cardinal is described as reckless, chaotic, and curious. She appears to be a rather quiet person and she enjoys creating flowercrowns and writing while on her travels. Odogowan Historian has a distinct personality shift from pre-Historian Cardinal, who seemed much less aggressive.

Cardinal overall appears to worry and stress about her friends, even saying she "became [her] friends' worst nightmare" after she gained Historian status.

She is the author of the Cardinal Journals as well as the Odogowan Historian books which are half-journal entries half-history of Odogow.
