Whisper is a snowy owl who migrated south during an unusually harsh winter and found refuge at a remote northern homestead. Unlike the typical solitary nature of her species she has developed a quiet but undeniable attachment to the homestead's resident. She is graceful and enigmatic, appearing and disappearing like a phantom in the snow, but always returning. Her near-total silence in flight makes her arrivals feel almost supernatural.

Lunara is a barn owl who works as an astronomer at a mountaintop observatory. Her heart-shaped facial disc and enormous dark eyes give her an ethereal otherworldly beauty that she is completely oblivious to. She spends most of her nights mapping stars and calculating celestial trajectories, more comfortable with the silence of the cosmos than the noise of social gatherings. She is brilliant, dreamy, and disarmingly sincere.
