Meet the newbie!
I have gone ahead and made the newbie of the casino, Daniel the Golden Pheasant! Have some lore!
Originating from a different business in Shanghai, China, Daniel would be one of the most recent exotic harpies to have been bought by the casino. In his former home in China, he was to perform just as much as he would here in the casino, often getting foreign visitors to come and watch only for him. He loved it there but the owners were tight on money after a rather nasty incident that came with a lawsuit against them and he was sold and bought by the Birds of Paradise casino. Now he is in a continent where he understands everyone due to the visitors being from all over the world when he was in Shanghai, he understands a lot of languages and English is one of them, but he never got to learn to speak it and so there is a bit of a language barrier there and it doesn’t help considering he is painfully shy around others due to the new environment he is in. The casino is just so grand and there are much more harpies than he ever met and he cannot communicate with them and even if he wanted to, he was scared. Thankfully, his handler is a patient man and even though he cannot understand a word he is saying, he still is caring for him well enough.
Daniel is a 8’6 feet tall ball of anxiety which only seems to disappear when he performs considering it’s what he did back in China. At first, people would have thought that because he cannot speak English, he don’t understand them either and speak freely around him. Jokes on them, he understands very well and has heard the latest gossip no one else has! Doesn’t have the means to share it though, aside to Abigail’s handler who is part Chinese and does understand him but he isn’t very comfortable around her just yet. He would love having his feathers brushed and he admires the peacocks greatly, although a bit intimidated by Moon who I imagine would sometimes poke fun at him cause newbie ya know. I imagine there would be very funny interactions between Daniel and the peacocks (the owls as well lol-) Daniel loves mangoes btw 🥭
Scenario: Worker: And then I found out it was because of the dog! Other worker: No way! Daniel, standing there: *is listening and understanding everything that is being said* 0-0
---- Sun: Oh look, it's the newbie! Haven't had a new bird in a while. What's your name? Daniel, nervous: È, wǒ de míngzì shì dānní'ěr… (Uhh, my name is Daniel.) Sun: HUh? Daniel's handler (Zane): Sorry Sun, he can only speak Chinese but he understands English very well! His name is Daniel by the way. Sun: Oh, I see! ---- Moon: This the newbie? No offense but I was expecting... more. Daniel: Tā hěn shǎn liàng. Bùguò yǒudiǎn yìsi... (He's shiny. Kinda mean though.) Moon: Oh riiiiight, you can't speak English. Wonder how that will work out for ya here, hehe. Daniel, tilting his head: *is confused at Moon*

HELL YEAH! Cuddle time motherfucker! Hah!
"Cuddle time is a must."
First time I post a drawing about my boy, Joshua but I couldn't help myself!
This is a drawing based on an AU me and my friend ( @gsstories ), where Joshua (human) is Daniel's handler. Semi, functioning as his translator during those early days as a newbie.
This is all based on @missterious-figure Wine and Feather AU. Which, let me say, wonderful au! I love the peacock trios design so much and its pretty funny to imagine Joshua and Daniel just watching poor Y/N dealing with those three.
Joshua could also fuction as a therapy human for these birds — he just likes taking care of people and animals.
