Her tail feathers are black with blue, yellow and pink , everyone! Yup, it's Alex, your favorite snowy owl! And I'm making my official Angry Birds with this story that wandered in my mind for almost two years now. It's gonna mainly feature OCs, but don't worry; canon characters will be present too. This takes place after the first movie.
Have fun ;)
Snow Kid groaned as his alarm clock started ringing, forcing him out of a pleasant dream. Reaching his hand to turn it off, he was tempted to just turn over and try to get back to sleep. But he was awake now; might as well get up. The sun rays already came through the window of his room, meaning the day already started.
Sitting up on his bed and pushing a loud yawn, he stretched his body which made crack many of his yet young bones. Afterward, he found the strength to get up and drag himself to his living room and eat a good breakfast consisting of exotic fruits and a good cup of milk. Once his belly was full, he went to the bathroom and took a good shower to look nice and clean.
Upon exiting the shower and drying himself with a towel, he took a good glance at the mirror and his reflexion. His fluffy feathers were white like snow (from where his name) with some black spots, making it look like the feathers of a snowy owl. His eyes were light blue and reflected his kind but restrained nature. That was enough to bring a good smile on his black beak. However, there was one thing missing from the package: his black toque. Reaching on the counter, he picked his little hat and putted it over his head, covering his messy head feathers. For reasons he never himself understood, Snow Kid treasured this toque more than anything. Probably because he's been wearing it since he was a kid.
Anyways, he was now awake, dressed up and ready to start the day. So he headed out of his house to find himself into the happy Bird Village of Bird Island. Birds of all size and colours were walking around, leading their kids to school, going for groceries, or simply having fun with their friends and family. Just to see them happy like this was enough to make the young bird smile.
Speaking of which, he too had to go make some groceries for today as his fridge was starting to get a bit empty. So he started making his way to the market place, passing before the puffy bird who gave free hugs and looked at all those passing with puppy eyes and putting on a disappointed face, every time they ignored him. Honestly, Snow Kid couldn't handle his adorable face and decided to give him an hug anyway. If this could make the silent bird happy, why not?
So, once that was done, the young boy arrived at the market place where birds were buying food and other stuff from the tens of markets all around. Checking up the grocery list he brought under his toque, Snow Kid started by going to buy a few worms at the first market on the right. Next, he went to the fruit market - the most popular one of the village - and bought some fruits and vegetables gathered into a plastic bag.
As he went to go buy some mushrooms, the young boy heard someone calling for him. "Mister Snow! Hey, Mister Snow!" Turning his head, he saw that the one calling him was none other than Miko, a blue macaw-styled bird. He had light blue feathers with green eyes, but his most notable feature was the orange headband he was wearing around his forehead. He was behind the counter of the noddle shop he was owning. This shop was actually very popular in the village as his noddles were absolutely delicious.
"Oh, hey, Miko." Snow Kid greeted him back and walked over to his shop. "Sorry that I didn't see you sooner."
"No problem, Mister Snow." He said with a polite bow. That was Miko's strange habit: he was always talking with an exaggerating amount of respect to everyone in the village, even his closest friends. "Are you busy?"
"Well, I came to make my usual groceries, but I'm not pressed. What's up, except that?"
"Nothing special; my business is going very well as you can see." He said with giving a pointing look toward many birds sitting at different tables, eating bowls of noddles coming from his shop. "There are advantages to be the only bird knowing a special recipe in the village." He admitted with a chuckle.
"I can see that." Snow Kid replied and shared the chuckle. "I should be going now, if I want to get my groceries before everything gets buy."
"I understand, Mister Snow. Go finish your groceries." He said with another polite bow that caused the snowy owl to raise an eye brow.
"Miko, come on, man. You don't have to be so polite and always call me 'Mister'. We're friends after all."
"Sorry, but it's an habit of mine. My parents always told me respect was gold." The macaw replied and blushed a bit.
Snow Kid simply rolled his eyes. "Anyway, see ya later." He said and waved at his friend before walking away.
Before long, Snow Kid's bags were full and he was starting making his way back home while carrying them all in his face. This caused everyone else to wonder how he could walk without bumping into someone by accident. Well, actually, it ended up happening as he accidentally bumped into someone and lost his balance, but quickly regained it before he could drop everything.
"Sorry! My fault!" He quickly apologized before turning to get a look at the person he collided with. To his surprise, it was Lovia, a female grey bird with a white belly who was wearing a black toque like his, a grey jacket slightly unzipped, blue pants, and black fingerless gloves. The reason was that, unlike most birds of the village, she didn't really liked showing her body. "Oh, hi, Lovia."
"Cheese, Snow Kid!" She groaned and rubbed her head. "Couldn't you be more careful? What's the idea of walking when you can't even see where you're going?"
"Well, I just try to trust my instincts." He replied with a small chuckle. "So, what's up?"
Lovia slightly passed her fingers in her grey hair after removing her toque. "Well, nothing very special; I'm still trying to finish working on that boat I talked to you last week." Indeed, Lovia's passion was building and upgrading mechanical stuff, which was why birds of the village called her a mechanician. She specially had interest for the machines that the pigs brought them during their short time at the village. "What about you?"
"Well, nothing special either outside of the fact that my arms are getting tired and excited to get those groceries home." He replied with a chuckle which Lovia shared this time.
"Well, in that case, I won't hold you back any longer. Bye." She waved at him and then walked away.
The snowy owl tried to continue his way to his house, but encountered another person on his way. "Snow Kid!" He once again stopped in his track and turned to see who was the person. This time, it was Natasha, another girl Snow Kid knew. She was a Lady Amherst pheasant with a white body, green head, red long hair, dark blue and yellow wings and a brown tail. She had ruby eyes and a very beautiful figure.
Natasha was the most known of the village and for good reasons; ever since she was a chick, dance has been her passion. All of her years of practice have made her the best dancer of the Bird Village. She knew all known dances to the birds: breakdance, samba, hip hop, belly dance, tongo, Hawaiian dance, etc. Her beauty made that a lot of boys asks her on a date. Not that she was arrogant, but she was pretty shy and always refused.
"Oh, hey, Natasha." Snow Kid greeted her with a smile. "I didn't saw you."
"With those bags, it's a bit understandable." She pointed out with a giggle. "You come back from groceries?"
"Yup and I was on my way home. What about you?"
"Oh, I was going to visit Matilda today." The pheasant replied. "I give her dance lessons and she already mastered samba and tongo. Today, I'm gonna teach her belly dancing." She said with doing a tummy roll for emphasis.
"Cool." Snow Kid replied, trying not to gaze too long at her and look like an obsessed guy.
"Hey, why don't you accompany me? Would you like to learn dancing as well?" She proposed.
"Sorry, Natasha, but in all honesty, I think belly dancing is more for girls." He honestly replied.
"That's not true; there's a lot of boys around who like to practice it."
"But I'm not one of them. Now, not that I don't like talking to you, but I'd like to get my groceries home before my arms turn into noodles." He said and gave a polite bow before walking away.
Yes, it's true; Snow Kid was not the most sociable bird of the flock. Not that he didn't liked the others' company, but he sometimes just felt like being alone. And anyways, he didn't had that much friends either-
"Hello." Snow Kid's heart jumped a beat and he dropped all his bags on the ground because of the whispering in his ear. After taking back from the shock, he saw that the intruder was Ocia, a female short-eared owl with dark brown feathers on her back and light brown on the front. She also had black facial marks around her yellow eyes. Unlike most of the other birds, Ocia was really hard to describe. She had the strange habit of jumping on people without warning among others.
"For god's sake, Ocia! Don't jump on me like that! I almost had an heart attack!" The snowy owl exclaimed as he picked his food up.
"At least you're not gonna fall asleep." She said and giggled a bit before running away, like a kid who just did a prank.
"Strange girl..." Snow Kid mumbled to himself.
"You tell me." This time, it was Rakonto, a male long tailed tit with white feathers and some black around his head. He had red tribal marks on his cheeks and chest and wears a crossbow along a bag full of arrow on his back. The reason was that, prior to coming to the village, he lived alone in the forest part of the island. That was until the day Snow Kid found him while camping and brought him to the village. "This girl will always remain a mystery to me."
"You know that she also likes to spoke kids off by turning her head around thanks to her owl body." Snow added with a chuckle.
"Yup. Have you ever done it too? I mean, you're an owl too." The long-tailed tit asked.
"Nah, I don't like turning my head in the wrong direction." He said with an head shake. "Except that, what's up? Are you still living in your hut next to the village? You should come here and get a good house."
"No thanks, Snow." He politely declined. "I'm used to my old wild life style. By the way, I heard you talking with Natasha; she's not wrong. You may not know it now, but there's quite a few girls with a crush on you, from what I've heard."
"There is?" Snow asked in surprise with a blush in his face.
"Yup; they don't stop saying you look cute and handsome with your feathers, toque and attitude." He said with a chuckle. "Why don't you propose one of them on a date?"
Snow Kid looked all around, feeling a bit uneasy. "Huh, I've never really been on a date before. And I'm not really planning on having one anytime soon."
Rakonto simply nodded before walking away. "Well, I've gotta go make my dinner. Bye." He said and waved his wing at his friend who would've returned the gesture, had his hands not been full.
With that being done, the young snowy owl finally arrived home and putted his groceries down before sitting down on his couch and watching TV. Yes, Snow Kid's life was well-arranged and simple. But things were about to change.
They were about to change a lot...
BAM! Cliffhanger!
This chapter was principally to introduce the characters of my story. So how do you find them? Does Snow sounds like an interesting character? I sure hope so, 'cause you'll be stuck with him for all the story :)
