Despite their height, and their feathers making them appear heavier than they are, they are far slimmer and lighter than they appear at first glance. Their bones are similar to the birds on other planets in that their bones are hollow so they're able to glide in the air, or fly short distances, for short periods of time if necessary. (It is probably still awkward to try and pick them up, though, because of the general height differences.) | Despite their height, and their feathers making them appear heavier than they are, they are far slimmer and lighter than they appear at first glance.

It's also good to note that they don't | It's also good to note that they don't usually wear clothing. The feathers do a lot of that for them. They might be tall, but given the fact of them having lesser mass than they seem to under the feathers, regular clothes tend to weigh them down and overheat them. And not even just for flight. It can cause them to move slower, tire easier, and it can be a bit distracting in turn. They do wear it on duty, but it is always a much lighter, breathable material than maybe most starfleet officers wear to keep discomfort and distraction to a minimum and it doesn't restrict their range of motion or their wings. Though they can be known to sometimes wear the regular stuff on occasion if they're feeling a bit cold even with feathers. And off-duty they typically keep it equally light on the typical clothing if they wear it at all for whatever reason they might choose to. | ||
They are however known to wear a shirt collar by itself on their neck to be able to show the pips, and more importantly their combadge. They sometimes switch that up with an over the shoulder sash or a vest to mix up the style on days they aren't going all out on the uniform. | They are however known to wear a shirt collar by itself on their neck to be able to show the pips, and more importantly their combadge.

*Speaking of coming from a matriarchal society, they do find a strong sense of comfort in more feminine leaders due to the familiarity of it on Aurelia. That isn't to say they won't listen to others, or lack trust for them. In fact, they will listen just as much, trust just as much, and love just as much. It's just that there's a mental connection of feminine people being leaders that makes them feel more at ease with that concept over all. | *Speaking of coming from a matriarchal society, they do find a strong sense of comfort in more feminine leaders due to the familiarity of it on Aurelia.

*They're very family oriented. Once they feel a strong enough bond of some sort to someone, that person immediately has a lot of their trust and they will show as much. They become quite open once that's in place. Because whether Aurelian, or humanoid, or something else entirely, if you're their family that's what counts. | *They're very family oriented.

This goes for Aurelians and Non-Aurelians alike though understandably they have a general preference for other Aurelians more often. They take well to most flirtation and can very confidently flirt back if they feel like it. Which has absolutely shocked a number of Non-Aurelians who weren't expecting them to be so suave about it for someone so quiet. What can they say? It's an ego boost. | ||
*They enjoy a little cliff jumping. They did it for the thrill back on Aurelia. The wings make it a good time to glide or fly a bit and occasionally try cool little air tricks. | *They enjoy a little cliff jumping. They did it for the thrill back on Aurelia.

*The name "Clik" is actually a chosen name. Zae'Li is their given name from hatching. But once they sorted out their identity, they took a name in front of Zae'Li. They use Zae'Li as something akin to a surname now, though their flock doesn't particularly have surnames in general. They don't mind either being used at any given time. Both names are theirs and they wear them proudly. They simply find names to be a powerful thing, and decided as a form of new self identification, to give themselves another name. It is a flock name. The name of one of the Aurelians that was taken by the Orions and never made it back, unfortunately. That Aurelian had a story, and they found taking his name on themself honored their own feelings as well as the other Clik. (random fun things about the names: "Clik" is a more masculine name within their specific flock, and "Zae'Li" is more feminine. They find having one of each makes them feel comfortable as someone neutrally between and outside of those feelings.) | *The name "Clik" is actually a chosen name.

**'''"Ellie":''' Clik is unpaired romantically. But they have a close tie to a beautiful lady Aurelian named Elliki. Or "Ellie" to those she likes. And she very much likes Clik. Their bond is a bit complicated in general. It is more than friendship, but a little less than romantic usually. It is still very flirtatious, and it is something that kept them from seeking other partners before Clik left for Starfleet Academy as they loved and adored each other and were very serious and taken with each other in whatever way they were and still are in some sense. They parted amicably and with a great sense of understanding why they couldn't stay like that at the time, and still keep in touch whenever possible. Clik adores Ellie with their entire soul.

They think she is very special and unique in ways that go far beyond the fact that she looks different from most of her flock as a transplant from another flock originally (She has rosy feathers, with a few other colors in various spots, whereas Clik and their flock are generally yellow-ish beige and dark brown in places). She is gentle and creative. Intuitive. Smart. Sensitive, and true to herself always. (She has a certain <i>Je Ne Sai Quoi,</i> if you will.) They find they can talk to her about anything. Suffice to say that they are enchanted by her and always thrilled to hear from her. | ||
