Raven
Raven is not a delicate, beautiful, refined bird. He is funny, earthy, rather crass. He eats McDonald's, for crying out loud. Pizza crusts. Roadkill.
But oh, He is beautiful in the sky. Playing with the wind... rolling over and over in the spring gusts, laughing and shouting and occasionally singing.
Curious as anything. More curious than a cat, and just as bright. Fond of shiny stuff. Fond of dog food. Wary of the Fish & Game truck when it comes to the dumpster to catch birds for banding...
Fierce, I would imagine. That beak isn't for just decoration. Messy eater, fastidious preener.
I was raised around Raven. I know Raven. I gave my heart to Him, once, to hide as He willed... but before tucking it away, He was flying all over, and the streamers danced in the wind... (Darkside cautioned me the next morning that perhaps giving my heart to a known trickster god was not in my best interests, but it was Right at the time.)

A Note
Crows are on the same order of intelligence as humans, wolves and pigs. These four are roughly on the same level. Raven's an order of magnitude if not more than one beyond this.
