Shayera (Empath stories)

Shayera is a character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. She is a member of a race of birdlike humanoids called the Feitherians who live near the Arctic Circle in Siberia, who is very strong and very fierce as a warrior. She originally had disdain for Empath and Polaris upon their first meeting, as she and other Feitherians looked down upon "land-borne" beings, but over time she saw how powerful Empath and Polaris were as fighters and even trusted them enough to have them become honorary members of Feitheria. Her partner is Norda, a male Feitheria who is in love with Shayera and intends to marry her.

Shayera is loosely based on Shayera Hol, the character known as Hawkgirl from DC Comics.
