PHOEBE VOGELSONG
Version 0.5
Retained Character Life & Bio From Ver. 0.1
1: Phoebe Vogelsong is 80% Gold Finch and 20% Griffon. Her Griffon attributes are recessive.
2: Phoebe’s parents spent most of their lives in the suburbs of a large city before deciding to move to a more rural town to start a family. This is why Mrs. Vogelsong is under the care of Dr. Mick Storkawits.
3: Mr. and Mrs. Vogelsong decided on the town where the O’ducky’s lived due to how Dr. Mick Storkawits, for a small town OBGYN, had been recognized for his study of ‘Hybrid Ovums’.
4: Mrs. Vogelsong was able to apply and be recommended to an open position at the local middle school to teach Literary Arts.
5: Mr. Vogelsong, an experienced supervisor for a large manufacturer of machine parts, found his commute to work the same as if he remained living in the suburbs of the large city.
6: Phoebe’s egg was laid close to a year after the successful hatching of Yosh E. O’ducky. Unfortunately, even with offers to talk with the O’ducky’s on raising a hybrid son, both soon-to-be parents were finding themselves bombarded with data of how many hybrid chicks and whelps were coming out with yet to be determined birth defects.
7: Dr. Mick Storkawits, as with the O’Ducky’s son, offered to pay for testing to minimize, or prepare, for any of the known birth defects. (The most common being how there was rarely a 50 / 50 split in genetic development. This lead to unknown, if any, complications for the hatchling.)
8: Word had gotten around on how ‘underdeveloped’ the O’Ducky’s son was. They also saw how a non-favorable ‘spotlight’ was cast down upon the O’Ducky’s for how their hybrid son was not meeting many of his milestones.
9: Family in the big city found other doctors with a wider background in genetics. This lead to Phoebe’s ‘Nesting Time’ being largely monitored by doctor’s experienced in all genetics over Mick’s focus on incubation and hatching, resulted in a lot of misdiagnoses of Phoebe before, during, and after hatching.
10: Mrs. Vogelsong wanted to keep her job and still be a mother. So they enrolled their daughter into the same daycare as the O’ducky’s son, Quack-Quack’s Learning Farm.
-u]PHOEBE’S ALTERNATE IEP[/u]
The Vogelsong’s, with help from the specialists in the city, develop a specific plan for how their daughter should be monitored, cared for, etc. once Mrs. Vogelsong has to return to work.
The grandparents are not as against the marriage and child raising of Phoebe’s parents. However they are very involved, remove Phoebe from QQLF after her first birthday, andtake turns staying with the new family to expedite her meeting of her milestones.
Phoebe appears to not respond to Griffon and Finch teachings. She seems to slur the words she speaks while showing no sign of being able to potty train, educate for entrance into preschool, and has trouble walking in a straight line, keeping her balance, and holding objects with her feathery wingtips.
As the family works towards a solution for long term care, they put Phoebe back into QQLF. She is three and Yosh is four. The dino-duck has returned to wearing, and using, diapers and seems to have a talent for finding Phoebe playing by herself in the toddler area.
Macaroni Penguin, a part-time worker at the daycare, takes notice of how Yosh seeks out Phoebe to play with. She doesn’t do anything to stop it as she is noticing the Finch / Griffon hybrid responding well to being with their other hybrid child. (Plus time spent with Phoebe is less time that the caretakers need to spend seeing what trouble Yosh is getting himself into with Sonya)
Ms. Macaroni shares what she notices with Yosh and Phoebe. However the response from the Vogelsong’s is worrisome given that, to them, Yosh is viewed as severely underdeveloped and they do not want to have their daughter be further encouraged off their plan to put their daughter into a ‘special school’ to save her from ridicule and bad influences, like Yosh and his little sister, Winry.
When Yosh is in second grade, he sees a familiar, pink bow while out getting into mischief with Nishi. He recalls the girl who, to him, disappeared without saying goodbye. So, with Nishi, the two come across the playground of the ‘special school’ and Phoebe trips over herself multiple times for how happy she is to see her lost friend.
The understaffed school of underpaid educators / caretakers is not aware of Phoebe getting away until they seethe orange Yoshi and dino-duck slowly helping Phoebe away from the playground.
Phoebe is retrieved by the school staff. However not before the young finch-griff figures out how it was her pink bow that caught her old friend’s attention. She sees this as her way to find her friend and throws tantrums if it is ever not placed properly behind her head.
Goatella and Macaroni are watching Yosh, Winry, Nishi, and Joe when they catch on to how Yosh is not quite his ‘ducky self’. Yosh explains what happened and how, every time he tried to revisit Phoebe, he would have to run for his life from the scary people in the creepy playground.
Aro Usal, Goatella’s hummingbird boyfriend, returns from another day at the local university and is asked by Goatella about what he knows about the ‘special school’ Yosh and Nishi had been getting off to in an attempt to help a little girl. Aro, being a part-time professor at the university, knows a lot of folks in the local education system and shares what he knows with his girlfriend.
The goat mom, after hearing of the school and how much little yosh wants to help the girl, asks if she may be able to exchange a favor for a favor by inviting Aro’s sister, Avril, to visit.
Avril Usal, like her brother, is fairly clumsy. However she has teamed with her brother on studies in how ‘dance’ and ‘role play’ can be of great benefit to children struggling to find their place in everyday society.
Aro, always up for a favor, gets his sister on the phone and, soon, the over-the-top, stylish hummingbird arrives with all the research she has gathered on how her ‘talents’ have proven to help individuals with difficulty understanding the ‘Status Quo World’. She is glad to see Aro not in a full body cast… again and, after some ‘schmubby-wubby’ from Goatella, Aro sets out with Avril to the ‘special school’ to pitch their plan to the staff and Phoebe’s parents.
The Vogelsong’s notice how Aro and Avril are certified in their fields of study, have published work in professional journals, and see no reason to not allow Avril, at no cost, to spend time with Phoebe to see if her theatrical techniques’ can bring out their daughter where others had failed.
Nishi, seizing an opportunity with his buddy, Oxnard, get Yosh to sneak off to one of Avril’s lessons. The sight of Yosh brings about much joy for Phoebe and, after giving a talk to Oxnard and Nishi for how they managed to get Yosh back into just a diaper, she sees how the dino-duck, having his own degree of social awkwardness, may be the perfect compliment to her specialized IEP.
Phobe starts to show a lot of progress over a very short period of time. Avril helps Phoebe learn to ‘dance’ when she finds her balance off. This grants the finch-griff the ability to keep a stride without tripping over herself. Her ‘role plays’ are done with Yosh, Nishi, Goatella, Macaroni, and others who volunteer time to help the young birdy to develop communication skills.
And thus begins the journey of Phoebe Vogelsong as she, with the efforts of Avril Usal, to find her own way to be a part of the world where she shows her disabilities are simply special abilities just waiting to flutter free and change the world.
