This entry is a creator-supplied mythology-inspired character. The collection presents Bian Qu as a high-perching bird whose poised silhouette and long plumage suggest patience, alertness, and an affinity with mountain air.

Appearance

Bian Qu is presented in this collection as a slender, crane-like bird with a long pointed beak, a curled crest, red legs, dark layered feathers, and pale accents.
