qalb, or 'igmis' as she is called, seems like a strange fit for someone like fuel at first glance, but in practice of course the two get along quite well. along her feathers are bright orange stripes that fade to red. they are similar in appearance to that of a tiger. this fade of color contrasts well with the ordinary blue nape. she tends to materialize with a single trinket: it is a golden key wrapped around her neck. sometimes the jingling of the key can be heard when she flies. igmis is a small bird, barely filling out the palm of someone's hand, but nonetheless she has a keen and wise gaze.[break][break]
overall, she has been supportive and accepting of fuel from the beginning despite the conflicts they had as he grew - his disinterest in magic and growing stronger frustrated her. she saw it as disrespect. the two share a quiet nature, but igmis is different from him in that she is the serious and intelligent type - to contrast to fuel's meek silence. she started off pushy, thinking that showing off her capabilities would cause him to finally face it. this ended up in many a magical accident for him, but soon she figured that this only made him retreat into his shell further.

realizing she had to put their differences aside and be a companion to him in a way he seeked, she shared her name when he came of age. she had begun to all but accept her fate by fuel's side, and actually was starting to enjoy the domestic life he led - but when his mother passed and he joined the knights, that all changed. she is worrisome and protective over him these days, and sees it as her duty to fill in that empty space. ironically, in spite of pushing him to become powerful with his magic, now that he is taking steps to do so, she fears for him and what consequences it may bring...but surely, with her by his side, she can stop anything too horrible from happening.
