About Henri Apteryx

Name: Henri Apteryx Callsign: [None] Pilot Rank: F-Rank Preferred Plane: Civilian courier plane or trainer aircraft Gender: Male Build: Slight, nervous, narrow-shouldered, quick-moving Appearance: Soft brown hair, wide eyes, young face, usually looks like he is apologizing Clothing: Oversized flight jacket, beginner goggles, clean boots, borrowed gloves Personality: Nervous, polite, lucky, easily overwhelmed, surprisingly brave when cornered Hobbies: Reading aircraft manuals, writing letters home, feeding dock birds Likes: Honey cakes, quiet libraries, kind instructors, clear instructions Dislikes: Pirates, sudden praise Quirks: Apologizes to aircraft after hard landings; carries a notebook full of questions he is too embarrassed to ask Backstory: Henri has not earned a callsign yet, which makes him nervous because he knows pilots rarely receive flattering ones. He earned his F-Rank almost by accident during a civilian flight when a sky pirate tried to force his aircraft down; in panic, Henri made such an awkward evasive maneuver that the pirate overcorrected, clipped a wall, and wrecked himself. Henri still sees himself as a civilian courier who got mistaken for a pilot by paperwork and bad luck.
