Marella was a female Barn Owl, and the mother of Kludd, Soren and Eglantine, as well as the mate of Noctus.
History[]
The Capture[]
Marella's egg hatched with a baby girl, who was given the name Eglantine. The family was very happy, except for Kludd, who didn't really care much for his little sister.
One night whilst Marella went out hunting with Noctus, Kludd pushed Soren from their nest, causing him to later be snatched by a St. Aggie's patrol. When Marella and Noctus returned from their hunt, they were devastated to find Soren gone. They then gave Kludd strict instructions to mind Eglantine next time they went out hunting.
The Journey[]
Some time after The Capture, Marella and her mate, Noctus, were killed, presumably by their eldest son, Kludd. It is unknown when they were killed, but it is most likely after The Capture.
The Rescue[]
In The Rescue, Marella appeared along with Noctus as scrooms to Soren while he was in the spirit woods to warn him of Metal Beak.
The Shattering[]
Nyra pretends to be Marella, tricking Eglantine into visiting her and bringing her information about higher magnetics.
The Burning[]
Marella and her mate came to see Soren and Eglantine as scrooms, seeing as their unfinished business was finally completed. She and Noctus then departed to Glaumora.
Personality[]
Marella was a kind, loving mother who rarely ever got angry. She was sympathetic and understanding, and wanted only the best for her children.
