=== Background ===
Ekorai, born in Halta, became aware of how very unlucky he was at the age of four, when a tree branch he was walking along suddenly collapsed. This is also when he became aware of how sturdy his body could be, which was quite handy because his bad luck did not ever let up. His entire life became basically near-death after near-death, finally culminating into a mortifying ordeal involving a near-drowning experience, several Linowans, a treepard and a very flimsy canoe. Luna appeared to him while he was trying to set his own broken bones later and gifted him with a Shard.

The Silver Pact appeared not long later, ganking him out into the wilds and giving him an education on who he was now and what he was expected to do. During that time he watched the actions of several Lunars and, from afar, several Solars- also witnessing all the efforts the Immaculates made to stop them. Slowly, he made up his mind to stop that.

His mentor, who was a very devout Sun King Seneschal, enjoyed the long elaborate plans he came up with to convince everyone in the Realm how much Celestial Exalts helped Creation, though she hardly believed he'd be able to do it. Instead, she pulled him along to spy on Realm-controlled cities, though it seemed that whenever he came along everything tended to go wrong due to totally unforeseen consequences. Finally, some of the elder Seneschals got together and discussed what to do with him- they obviously couldn't keep him around for that long, since it seemed as though he was a jinx for everyone around him. Eventually, one of the older No Moons decided to track down the Shard of his Solar Mate- and let HIM deal with Ekorai, instead of any of them.

His meeting with Copper went about as well as you'd expect- Ekorai would probably have died more than five times on the trip alone, were he not a Lunar Exalt, and when he finally found the Solar in question, they were both immediately wrapped up in a series of hilarious, if inconvenient, misunderstandings. This series of hilarious misunderstandings actually has yet to cease.

=== Appearance ===
Ekorai is not, at first glance, someone you would take to be a Lunar Exalt. He seems to be about 17 (though, of course, this is really quite misleading. Ekorai is much closer to 22 at this point), slim, and short- about 5'7, with short, messy green hair. For those of above-average mental ability, it would almost seem as though there are longer green strands of hair running down just behind his ears- if examined closer, those long strands would actually turn out to be feathers. His eyes are wide and bright gold.

His face is scarred, although not disfiguringly so- one scar that seems to be from a very neat slice runs right across the bridge of his nose, a series of three scratch marks adorn his forehead, and one slightly curved claw-mark marks his left cheek. Ekorai's entire body seems to follow that same theme, bearing injury after injury (including what looks like a giant shark bite on his torso), all of them somehow survived and recovered from. Despite all of those scars, though, he still manages to look considerably more than presentable in most situations (the Hearthstone set in one of the bright silver bracers hidden beneath his long sleeves might have something to do with that, of course).

In most of his human forms, he dresses as plainly as possible- earth-tones, sturdy fabrics, anything to not be noticeable- although his distinctly Haltan coloration does make him stand out much more than he would like, in the South (even without his tattoos attracting unwanted attention). His Spirit Shape is, on the other hand, incredibly noticeable- a small bird with bright green-blue feathers, a scarlet belly and chest, and tail feathers a foot long tends to attract attention.

=== Personality ===
Ekorai is a Cool Person That You Want To Be Friends With. ... Okay, fine, no he's not. Ekorai can be incredibly stubborn to the point of useless brattishness, incredibly devious, annoyingly charming, or just plain infuriating, depending on how he feels that day. When he's at the top of his game it's easy to see how he could rouse a whole room up into a frenzy, but on a bad day he's almost intolerable. Ekorai is used to getting his way and gets frustrated when he doesn't, and if someone is keeping him from getting his way, he'll do his best to first convince them, then lie to them, then (if the usual eyelash-batting doesn't work) ... throw a tantrum, usually. One of the only things that can stand between Ekorai and what he wants is someone calm and collected enough to just tell him to go away.

Of course, that's just his prickly surface. On the inside, Ekorai is a little more complicated- he's fiercely protective of the people he likes, even if he shows it in weird ways. His bad luck constantly depresses him, and he's quick to (at least internally) blame himself whenever anything goes wrong, even if he wasn't anywhere nearby when it went wrong. Ekorai is incredibly easy to embarrass, no matter how much his mentor's tried to train it out of him, and he'll usually hide that with a thick layer of annoyed snapping.
