4. Descendants of Toothiana Information

Signature colour-purple

Signature weapon-none, most use swords

Symbol-Canine (tooth)

The most obvious trait for the Descendants of Toothiana is their wings. Most common in the 21st Century are the insect like wings with the feathered, bird like wings being the minority. This wasn't always the case however, Toothiana had feathered wings in the past, and while she had them so did all of her Descendants, they made the transition from feathers to membrane at roughly the same time.

They have a slightly higher body temperature than normal humans, their core temperature being closer to 40 degrees Celsius. As with the Descendants of Jack Frost their enzymes have adapted their optimum temperature to match them and it only occurs in Descendants.

In order to fly they have highly adapted back, shoulder and chest muscles and have a respiratory system similar to that of a birds. Complete with air sacs and taking two breaths for the air to completely go through the lungs. This makes them the most biologically different among the HOG Descendants.

All possess a photographic memory and an uncanny knack for learning languages. The 'most powerful' are usually determined by those with the best memory, the most skilled flyers and the best knack for languages, as a result Heads can converse in almost all the languages present on Earth at the time.

Because of their photographic memory and general enthusiasm for teeth, many Descendants of Toothiana hold positions in the medical field or other scientific fields. They also make great record keepers as they rarely forget a fact.

Descendants of Toothiana cannot open Tooth Boxes; that remains something only Toothiana, her Mini Fairies and the owners of the Tooth Box can do. Descendants can however understand Mini Fairies.

It is believed that they are descended from Tooth's father, Haroom, side of the family.
Other physical traits include; tall stature with broad shoulders and dark hair.

They have no geographic preference.

I only have a basic understanding of an avian respiratory system, so for anyone who knows in greater detail how it works, sorry for probably butchering it. I also understand that insects have a different respiratory system to mammals and birds, but I understand that even less, and it just didn't make sense for humans with wings to have an insect's respiratory system anyway.
