Meet my rito OC, Nerisa!
She's based on a Snowy/Wandering Albatross and uses her large wingspan to glide nonstop over the ocean to keep a lookout for lost souls at sea.
Because she spends a lot of time in the air, like her animal counterpart, she has a difficult time landing.
She also has a crush on Penn
