Jakarta Clan

--Most if not all of them are bird shapeshifters

~I can think of one that’s not and that’d be Melody’s mother, but she married in so that makes sense

—the majority of them live in a trading village called Shiore’s Mill [Shiore Jakarta being the founder] and their numbers have been dwindling for the past two hundred years

—they used to be a huge ginormous family but people haven’t been living as long and haven’t been having kids so they’re down to about fifty members total rather than the hundreds they had before

—didn’t help that a group of people tried to hunt down shapeshifters right as the population started to dip

—notable Jakartas

~ Joyeaux Jakarta:  Matriarch of the Jakarta clan, Micah’s great grandmother, great-horned owl shapeshifter

~Yash Jakarta:  husband of Joyeaux, Micah’s great grandfather, ibis shaoeshifter

~Violet Jakarta:  Melody’s mom, the family grouch, abusive, separated Melody from her family and made her work almost 13 hours a day, this caused Melody to go out more and led to her meeting with Xenon

~Phineas Jakarta:  Violet’s husband and 3rd? cousin, songbird shapeshifter, went missing and never returned, presumed dead

~Melody Jakarta:  Crow shapeshifter, Micah’s mom,

~Gloria Jakarta:  Arctic Tern shapeshifter, Violet’s sister and Micah’s great aunt, married to Fletcher Jakarta

~Haidyn Jakarta:  Kite shapeshifter, Fletcher and Gloria’s daughter and Micah’s cousin

About the Tree People:

—They’re a tribe living in a forest in Forengard

—they live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and they’ve engineered the land in their territory to give them the best profit

—Their leader is Zib Treylor

—The entire tribe uses sign language along with spoken language because many, including Zib, are partially or completely deaf

—Bex has had several run-ins with this tribe and has a love-hate relationship with Zib

—mostly hate

—The tree people weave nets to catch intruders and Bex usually gets caught in them when trying to sneak through the forest.

—Zib personally comes to rescue/rub Bex’s face in the fact that they got caught every time

Notable tree people:

—Zib:  tribe leader, youngest leader in history

—Helix:  Tazzi’s best friend and eyes, never stops making chameleon puns, part of Zib’s guard
