Description Name(s): Color of Sun and Fire, Sunbird
Sex: Male

Appearance
- At First Glance: A very handsome male dinosaur with exceptionally big hood marking (very manly!)
- Notable Details: Extensive hood with a crescent shaped stripe underneath it on his chest and long crest stripe. The black facial markings with slight iridescent sheen are large enough to connect to his eyes. Also dark-ish blanket and noticeable darkening gradient near the tail tip. Very, very handsome dinosaur.

Technically his proper, married name is Color of Sun and Fire, but since that's quite the mouthful, he's still often referred to by his old name, Sunbird.

He's pretty artistic for a craftsman, having worked with pigments his whole life before moving to his current family tribe and his pretty handy at using them too. And quite the romantic too, it turns out, having left his entire family behind to join his one true love in another tribe and turning out to be a doting father.

Relationships:
Son-in-law of Grandmother
Mate of Stonemaker
Father of Spring Brook

I wonder...does the black hood marking in the troodons work like the black markings in sparrows? Older, healthier and more well fed male sparrows have bigger markings and thus a higher status in the group.
Here is a study on that because I'm not good at explaining:  www.jyi.org/issue/differences-…

Hormones o affect the hood and face markings to some extent (so bigger hood = manlier), but part of it is also just color genetics. Sunbird here won the lottery.
