I solved the font problem! No text at all! 8D AND AIN'T SHE CUTE??

So, it's time for new character and this time I'll write the info down here to avoid issues with
myself. Most of the pics are a bit sketchy I know but try to cope with it. I kept her design
pretty simple since I believe there won't be crowdy in the swallow-character-business. :'D

Name: Ääni (means "sound" or "voice" in Finnish)
Gender: Female
Species: Swallow-swift hybrid
Wingspawn: 0,6 meters / 2 feet
Flying speed: 180 km/h / Bit over 110 mph (can be even higher in deep dives)
Diet: Unlike swallows which eat flying insects Ääni hunts the swallows. She either tackles them
making them throw up what they've just eaten or she tackles them to the ground and eats
them instead.

Notices:
- Her feet have four fingers pointing forward and none pointing to the back.
- The feet are small and can't be seen when she's flying
- Despite her name Ääni can't fly at the speed of sound
- For the tail's pattern please look at the picture with wings from above because it's the correct one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I would've never come up with a character like this if I hadn't got my driver's licence
recently. x'3 Thank god I'm not afraid of high speeds anymore.
Swallows are so cool. While searching for reference-photos of swallows I found some species
that differ so much from the normal black-and-white coloration people are used to see.
Like the violet-green swallow [link] or lesser striped swallow [link]
Ääni's tail marking was not inspired by any religious symbol btw.

Oh and while I still remember: Ääni is my first character that I've published inside the very same
week I came up with it. And she has been red swift the whole time without any major
changes.
