Rambling:

So he ended up having far more Greek inspiration than I originally planned. Whoops. My thought process was if I was gonna make this character a harpy, then I wanted some connections to Greek mythology. His name comes from the word xenia, an ancient Greek concept of hospitality. It's also a reference to Zeus as he was sometimes called Zeus Xenios due to his role as a protector of strangers. I also went with the Zeus reference because I wanted to give him lightning magic. The nickname from Rook comes from a drink called absinthe, which has wormwood as an ingredient. It was called "the green fairy" in various literature. He's frequently called Magpie because of his stealing collecting random objects, mostly shiny ones.

#If any of the info about Greek words isn't correct then get mad at Wikipedia instead of me #not sorry for the long post #let me have some fun with my own characters #I've avoided making a twst oc for a while but this idea hit me like a ton of bricks and wouldn't leave me alone #gonna post this while I'm too tired to freak myself out over actually talking about my ocs #I was kinda worried about him not fitting Pomefiore because he's mostly based in Greek mythology #but it's not like Epel or Sebek particularly match what they were based on so whatever #twst oc #twst #twisted wonderland #dahlia's ocs #dahlia's rambling
