Life[]

During the events of The Demon King, Bird and Han had a short lived romance, but ended when Bird discovered he was a Wizard, horrifying her. Bird most aspired to become a Demonai warrior and leaves Marisa Pines Camp to pursue her dream. She changes her name from Digging Bird to Night Bird because of this. As the tensions in the series begins to rise, her role as a Demonai warrior begins to conflict with her beliefs. However, she must follow the orders of her superior and lover, Reid Demonai, even if she knows she will end up hurting old friends. Eventually, she learns to become more independent, to think for herself as she loses her trust in Nightwalker and more disillusioned with his ways. While conducting an investigation of her own, she ends up discovering that it was Nightwalker who orchestrated the murders of the wizards and was responsible for assassinating Queen Marianna.  She protects Queen Raisa when Nightwalker attempts to kill her. Although he mortally wounds her by throwing a knife at her throat, Bird fires two arrows into his back, thus ending his life before she herself succumbs to her wounds.
