Hey guys,
This is my final entry for the BirdFolk Contest. I wanted this last picture to contain all of the transformations that Keife can perform. I've though long and hard about each and every one of the different forms and what their uses would be in the various situations that Keife might find himself in. Anyway, I'm adding quite a bit more information than before so I hope you all are ready~

P.S. You guys wouldn't believe how hard I tried to avoid giving him a canine form~! Dx

Name - Keife
Species - Akriri (aka Bird Folk)
Gender - Male
Age - Young Adult
Occupation - Theif/Acrobat
Design - Inspired by various birds of paradise and a Blue Jay

>> Keife is and has always been a little jokester. He has always had an easy time making friends due to his laid-back nature. However, he was often thought of as annoying as he frequently played pranks on other Akriri. Keife is completely fearless and will even pull his pranks on the most dangerous of beasts within the forest. Keife had even developed expert acrobatic maneuvers in order to evade these various beasts. Though it often gets him into trouble, he uses his fearlessness to help out other birds when they are in danger by acting as a decoy or bait, and shortly after fleeing to safety.

> Loves eating wild berries, especially black berries
> Enjoys playing pranks and is generally mischievous
> Knows a variety of acrobatic maneuvers while running (or hopping) to avoid being caught

> Has a vibrant voice and is able to imitate most other birds

Forms:

> Original - This is the form that Keife was born as and is the form he uses when relaxed or not in a troublesome predicament. He is very quick and nimble in this form, but he is not particularly strong.

> Adult - Keife's adult form stands at roughly 5' 7" and is used in a wide variety of situations. With him being bigger, stronger, and faster it is easy for him to carry a lot for longer distances while out on a job. He is also able to use his acrobatics and basic combat skills to avoid getting nabbed by the akriri fuzz. However due to this size, it takes quite a bit more effort to avoid detection.

> Coyote - Keife's coyote form is the fastest of all, using this form to travel long distances quickly or to outrun pursuers. It is a nimble form that functions best while running on flat ground or through the forest. However, it is not as strong as his adult form, and heavy loot will reduce his speed making it difficult to escape. Also he is unable to use his acrobatics abilities in this form due to the rigidness of the bone structure.

> Dragon - The dragon form is by far the most diverse and effective form in Keife's arsenal. Though this form is generally kept at about the size of the coyote, Keife is able to change his size in this form in order to accommodate the situation. The sizes can be as big as an elephant to the size of a lizard. However, both his strength and agility fluctuates with his size changes. Though it can be good that he can carry much more loot as a large dragon, it is near-impossible to avoid detection as it can be loud and prone to accidental destruction. On the other hand when he is maintaining a smaller size, he is nimble and able to avoid detection very easily and escape through small holes and tunnels, but is unable to haul as much loot. Keife, however, tends to use the size differences in clever ways. For example, he uses his larger dragon size to scare off the carnivorous beasts of Kel Del or to swat away a large number of pursuers when surrounded. His smaller dragon form can scale virtually any surface and can be used to sneak into secure areas and eavesdrop in on conversations to gather information during jobs. Keife also has a tendency to loose his loot while changing his size, by either slipping through the bag he is carrying when shrinking and diving into a small hole or just by simply ripping it to shreds when growing. Because of this he usually maintains a happy medium between his biggest and smallest forms, where he can maintain a level of his agility and still be able to carry some amount of loot.
