Harpies are among the lightest of the demi-human races because of their hollow bones.However, some applied on a whim, being true to their nature.


When human representatives arrived with the intention of including their race in the exchange program conducted through the Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill, a majority of the harpies did not intend on applying due to the various laws they would be expected to follow. Despite this, some harpies will occasionally choose a mate for life, and will either move to be with them or else continually return when their migration routes bring them back around. Rather, they travel about and find men before returning to the village to lay their eggs after mating, sometimes even finding multiple partners in a single outing to encourage genetic diversity. Unlike most such races, though, harpies do not simply abduct men for the purpose. Harpies are mono-gendered and rely on humans to reproduce. Since all harpies hatch from eggs, there's a possibility that the clawed opposable digits served to help them crack the inside of their eggshells (pipping) when they hatch as harpies don't have beaks like traditional birds do. This allows for gripping of objects, but these improvised grabbers are nowhere near as dexterous as true hands. Harpies have a clawed, opposable digit on the joint of each wing, and the wing at the joint has a "palm" which can curl to some small degree. However, due to their air-headed personalities they more often then not forget about their "rules" and just do what they please, with that rule being: "Harpies are not allowed to stay a long time in a place. Being similar in nature to migratory birds, Harpies psychologically can’t stay in one place for very long. Harpies are migratory beings and a race that embodies the notion of freedom, going where they please, when they please.
