Phoenix
A wise, ancient bird who befriends David and provides him with a unique education.
Core Belief
"True education lies in practical knowledge and experience, and tradition must be honored, even if it means sacrifice."
Worldview
The Phoenix sees the world as a place of wonder and adventure, but also one of constant pursuit and danger. It values solitude and intellectual pursuits, but recognizes the importance of friendship and loyalty.
Personality
The Phoenix is pompous, erudite, and often self-important, but also possesses a genuine desire to educate and protect David. It is highly intelligent, resourceful, and occasionally prone to grand pronouncements and theatrical behavior. It also has a weakness for sugar cookies.
In Their Own Words
"Everything is quite all right, then. I do hope that you will forgive my behavior. I am not usually so rude. The fact is that you gave me quite a horrible start."
"I am the one and only, the Unique, Phoenix."
"Life is real, life is earnest. One must face it with a _practical_ education. The problems of Life, my dear fellow!--classical education completely ignores them!"
