Author's Note: Ava Nicole Monroe is one of my favorite characters ever. No matter what board I put her in, she always ends up being bouncy and adorable and fun to write with. When Henderson got TWE going, I knew there was only one possible act for Ava- an avian shifter. Birdie Ava is somehow even more adorable to me than regular Ava. But something about the circus made Ava shift from her usual adorable, bouncy self into something a little weaker, darker, more broken. Which was fun to play with, especially as her story arc unfolded.

Her parents had nicknamed her Freebird.
As a little girl, it had been hell on earth to keep Ava human. She never wanted to be a human with her feet on the ground; she had only wanted to soar through the air, free as the eagle that lived inside of her. Eventually, her parents had given in; they had homeschooled her, and her every spare moment was spent flying.
Her father had protested her upbringing, but her mother had silenced him with a worried frown.
"Let her enjoy her freedom now. In her future, I see nothing but a cage."
