Character Profile: Solra

Name: Solra Species: Capra Classification: Festival Guardian Bonded Handler: None (Wanders Kinward freely) Known Habitat: Sacred lantern groves, near village borders

General Description: Solra is a striking Capra, born under the season of first bloom. His horns are a rare mutation, bearing both the spiraled strength of a ram and the branched elegance of an antler crown. His coat is a dappled blend of soft bronze and radiant honey-gold, catching the light in ways that make him seem almost celestial. His presence is known by the gentle chime of lanterns swaying—whether by wind or magic, it is unclear.

Though Solra walks without a bonded human, he often visits the borders of village celebrations. He has become a gentle symbol of renewal and protection. Children whisper tales of him guiding lost travelers home with a glimmer in his eyes, while elders say the crops bloom brighter the season after his visit.

Notable Traits:

• Dual-Crown Horns: A rare trait said to be a divine gift—marking him as a symbol of both wisdom and strength.

• Sun-Touched Coat: His fur holds a subtle shimmer, glowing faintly in morning light.

• Wanderer's Instinct: Appears when needed, leaves without a trace. Some say the trees part for his path.
  

Cultural Significance:

• Offerings are occasionally left at lantern groves in his honor.

• Believed to herald peaceful seasons.

• Some villagers craft sun-shaped charms in his likeness for children born in the spring.
  

Legends and Lore: Solra is often associated with the early days of the Festival of Quiet Flame, when wild Capras first began to appear openly in the presence of humans. His reappearance each year is seen as a sign that the bond between Kinward and its sacred beasts remains strong.

In one story, a young girl lost during a storm was found safe and warm beneath a tree, with fur caught on the bark and the glow of lantern blooms above her. Her village swore Solra had watched over her through the night.
