While it may appear Triska wasn't given the gift of wings... you're wrong. Triska was indeed one of the pups gifted with wings, however, the pure insanity of this girl caused her to needlessly and restlessly pluck all of her feathers out until her wings were no more. How does one manage to entirely destroy their wings, you ask? Triska is obsessed with numbers and analyzing everything. She thinks numbers make up the inner workings of life itself - and that accidentally including one certain number is the reason she has horrible luck.

The number 13 is something Triska is obsessed with. She is terrified of ever doing anything that adds up, subtracts to, or otherwise, in some way, results in the number 13. For instance, if her breakfast consisted of taking 13 bites of cereal, well, that just doesn't happen anymore because she counts everything. She always makes sure to take a step over 13 before stopping, or to never be awake for exactly 13 hours of the day. It gets far more complex than that. However, that would make us all a little batty like Triska to even begin to explain how her mind works.

Her siblings find her very odd because she is constantly mumbling numbers, counting what they do, and, in speeches one could only describe as delusional, panicking over silly things like saying 13 words in a sentence. Some think she has arithmomania on top of her fear of the number thirteen, and they are probably, sadly, very correct. She's jittery and constantly hyped up on caffeine, afraid to even sleep for the fear of something adding up to thirteen in her dreams. To her, it can be a matter of life or death.
