Obsidiana - A gargoyle of the Mayan clan.

History

Obsidiana hatched in 1918. At some point before 1993 she was entrusted with the Obsidian Pendant linked to the Mayan Sun Amulet, and thus received her name. By 1968, it was likely that she and Zafiro had become mates and she laid her first egg that year. She was patrolling the rainforest with Zafiro, Jade and Turquesa on the day in 1993 when a group of poachers looted the Mayan Pyramid and destroyed her clan. Fortunatly, the rookery was undisturbed and the eggs of the clan, including one she laid in 1988, will hatch in 1998.

In 1996, she helped defend the rain forest from Cyberbiotics, and from Jackal and Hyena in Preston Vogel’s employ. Afterwards, she remained in Guatemala with Zafiro to continue protecting "The Green", while Turquesa and Jade went to Avalon to plant some of the flowers and herbs in their charge there. Obsidiana has limited abilities as a healer using local plants to make bandages, medicines, potions and other useful items.

Obsidiana and Zafiro will be the biological great-grandparents of Zafiro.
