Sunshrike History Mr. Smartie Notes: provides some details on her history beyond what is mentioned in the observations and speculations sections Observations According to Nightingale's first teammate, Sunshrike, there are only the two members of this avian-themed team active at any one time. One representing the "bird of light" and the other the "bird of shadow". This suggests they are legacy characters, with new women taking the roles in an alternating fashion, one a mentor, the other the learning sidekick. Given the age differences, it seems to be generational. Nightingale is the younger in the 80s with Sunshrike, and she gains experience and matures to become the elder in the 90s with Sunbird. There is also speculation a familial connection might be in play with who takes up the legacies. Sunshrike also thinks it wouldn't be allowed for them to have a cat as part of the team, hinting that some external agency may be involved with sponsoring this pair of avian heroes. A cat and a couple of birds don't seem to be the most compatible of partnerships. In nature's environs, shrikes, despite their small size, are known to be carnivorous. Speculations, Theories Kurt's pattern when introducing new characters that play a dominant role, is to find a moment in the story to present their full names. Both Sunshrike and Nightingale are presented with only their first names (Leah and Ginny). It's quite possible that these names are also not real, but code names used to protect their identities short and long term. Note that this is fan speculation of the highest order, based on really thin feelings or observation.
