Likes: spending time with her friend, Rio de Janeiro, flying, rats, mice, and other small animals; fish

Dislikes: being dumb, not being accepted, (not so much now) feeling like an outcast, (not so much now) whenever a potential friend flies off in fear, the burn on her foot (which still hurts from time to time)

Personality: She's not too bright (to say the least). She is insecure, and is easily upset. She's a very slow thinker. She's easily distracted. She can stand up for herself if need be. Is also kind. She is depressed and lonely, very shy, and wishes she was smarter. She gets stressed easily, and is somewhat timid.

History: She hatched in southeastern Arizona. Her father had died before she and her siblings had hatched, so their mother raised them. Libertine was often teased by her siblings for not being too bright, to say the least. Soon she could take it no more, and when they were old enough to fly, she was the first to leave. A few months later, a couple Arizona Game and Fish officers found her after receiving a call that a bird had gotten shocked and fallen off a power line. Her eyes were still functioning, and she was responsive to touch. She was wrapped and taken to the nearest wildlife rehabilitation center, and was still moving when she arrived. Libertine was not quite stable, and was fading in and out of consciousness. She couldn't stand due to a severe electric burn on her foot from landing on the power line, and was given food and pain medication for weeks afterward. She eventually stabilized enough to be taken to a vet for temporary care. A couple years later, she ended up in a traveling animal program, and Rio de Janeiro was one of the stops. She was caged for most of the trip, and sometimes tried to escape. Late one night, she successfully escaped from her cage. Once free, she flew off and landed on the roof of one of the slums, and looked upon the city in wonder. Libertine spent the rest of the day flying around the city, and flew through the forest for a bit. The next few months were difficult for her. Whenever Libertine alighted close to someone, they flew off in fear because of her talons and appearance. Such was her life. Now she spends her nights in a tree overlooking the city, longing for friends and acceptance. Sometimes she cried, also wondering if her life would get any better. Later, a Spix's macaw landed on the roof a building close to the tree in which Libertine was resting, and watched her, curious. After Libertine woke up, and after a a few minutes of watching the Spix's, she shyly and nervously started to talk to her. After a few long minutes of talking, Libertine found out the bird's name was Alana. She wasn't afraid of Libertine, despite her menacing appearance. Eventually the two became good friends.
