Ravi is a Stygian who brings nightmares of blindness. Although small and cutely colored, he likes to settle down on people's faces or over their eyes as they sleep, then bend his neck and whisper nightmares into their ears. Sometimes they just have dreams of being suffocated from his weight.

His entire world is all in shades of black with only the barest tints of color to distinguish grass from water or tree trunks from the sky. Used to the darkness of his world, Ravi is discomforted by brightly lit places and neon color schemes. TV and computers are painful to his eyes, unless he wears shades or goggles, and he much prefers listening to stories and songs.

His tiny little wings aren't strong enough to lift him but he occasionally gifts feathers from them to people he especially likes. Having one of his feathers is a rare favor!

When he encounters other Stygians, he's usually wary but polite, curious about their natures and the nightmares that they bring. His speech is formal, a little old-fashioned, and he pricks his ears forward whenever he hears something especially interesting.  When he's more relaxed, he babbles very quickly and fires off a thousand questions an hour.
