my silly little rwby oc i just came up with, based on slavic mythology. there's not much info on them yet.

this character is based on a Firebird, a rarity highly sought-after by heroes in fairytales. the name Gamayun belongs to another folklore bird, along with Sirin and Alkonost, who look a lot like greek harpies. while Sirin's song brings people joy, Alkonost's wailing carries despair, Gamayun's tune is one of oblivion. Anyone who hears that bird singing will lose their memory. legend says once upon a time two siblings, Ivan and Maria, disobeyed their parents and found Gamayun to hear it's wonderful song. upon hearing it, they lost all memory about who they were, only to years later meet again and fall madly in love. upon discovering the truth, they couldn't take it, and both turned into a flower (Ivan-da-Marya, or Melampyrum nemorosum) to stay together forever.
