New OC: Shima

Here's that new villianous OC I was talking about in the last post.

Her name is Shima, and she has an obsession over male peacock tail feathers. She would often collect any feathers she could find on the ground, but once she couldn't find anymore, she became desparate. 

After marrying a peacock with bright orange feathers, she would constantly ask him if she could take a feather of his own. He would deny it, and she was angered by it. Gone insane by her obsession, she would pluck off his feathers as he walked by, startling him, making him grow weary. It hurt, but all Shima did was hum while taking the stolen feather and embedding it into wearable clothing, where many other feathers were kept and put into as well. As the nights passed, he could hear her laughing happily as she added more feathers to clothing, slowly going insane. It was then after a year of being married that Shima became overly obsessed. While her husband slept, she took a knife and killed him carelessly, laughing quietly as she plucked off all his tail feathers.

News spread quickly of her husband's death, and Shima fled her home while disguised as a different peacock. She never felt sorry for killing her mate, for all she wanted was his tail feathers. But her obsession never left. Desparate for more, she would disguise herself again and again, traveling into other villages to seduce young males into coming into her set up tent, only to be killed by nightfall, each and every tail feather taken away. 

With a new set of feathers every now and then, she'd sew them onto various clothing, which she wore as a disguise while traveling to keep anyone from recognizing her.
