Ifá

Ifa also carries a medium-sized backpack tied around his waist where he keeps medical equipment for his travels. Ifa wears the tall male model. He has dark brown skin, droopy sea-green eyes with diamond-shaped pupils and small orange triangles beneath them, and short, fluffy white hair that fades to mint green at the tips. He has a cross-shaped scar above his left eye and three continuous scratch scars on his left forearm, as well as a zigzag tribal mark around his neck with dots underneath. On the rolled-up sleeve of his right arm, he wears a blue-green band with his tribe's logo in the center, featuring dark orange and yellow details. The shoulder area of ​​the robe is zigzag-shaped, orange at the bottom and dull red at the top. The rolled-up sleeve has a gold cross-shaped emblem on the left side, and the inside of the robe is in various shades of blue-green with an orange bottom. Ifa wears a light brown belt with a gold cross in the center of the metal part.

Appearance See also: Whistledart's wings. He wears black gloves with the front and wrists adorned with small gold crosses. He wears a dark brown dress shirt unbuttoned from the collarbone to almost his chest. He also wears pale green trousers. Over these trousers, a brown leather belt is attached, extending from the waistband to his legs. On the left side, he carries a holster for the revolver he uses to defend himself or others. He also wears long, light brown boots that reach his calves, with tribal bracelets on the ankles. He also wears a white robe with a large, orange, drooping bow tied to the back. The robe's hem is open with pointed edges. The hem is white, blue-green, and orange, with a white cross on each side. He also wears a Jafet with his picture and name on the left side of his chest, along with a Qucusaurio feather. Something large, white at the bottom and orange and teal at the top, and the sleeves of the robe rolled up to the elbows.

The top part has a pretty white zigzag pattern, and the upper part is teal with two orange ribbons at the bottom and top of the hat. The top part is white with two buttoned brooches, one somewhat large on the left side with a teal cross, and the other somewhat small, dark brown. The top part has three small ribbons, two teal and one orange, and a cord with a brooch with an inverted, opaque gold triangle and in the center a teal diamond that reaches the chest and a teal extension.

Due to the fever, Ifá's memories were somewhat hazy. However, for him, that time was no different from the other times he had gone out to tend to the wounded; it wasn't even the first time he had had to work while sick. He certainly couldn't recall if he had done anything truly special to make the heavens decide he needed a Vision right then and there.

Everyone saw the matter in a completely different way. The tribe's chief thought it was a reward for his altruistic nature, while the grandmother who lived next door considered it compensation for his constant self-sacrifice. Ifá dismissed it with a wave of his hand, arguing that "sacrifice" was going too far. A young man who seemed very mature said to him, "Ifá, brother, they say the wind can blow until it brings people together, so the Archons are telling you that when we find ourselves in a tight spot, we can rely on each other." It made some sense, so Ifá didn't reject the idea, but the truth was that when the situation had become so urgent, he hadn't had any other choice; he had simply done what he subconsciously knew he had to do.

These kinds of things never have a clear answer. Perhaps the Archons simply thought he needed some fresh air to calm his fever. Ifá shook his head; the matter of the Vision was water under the bridge.

He didn't usually use his Vision much, or at least that was the case until Cacucu appeared. After Cacucu came into his life, he always had to fly him everywhere, and while doing so, he would shout, "Higher, buddy!"

In moments like that, a Vision was always a great help.

One day, the Ifá clinic remained closed past noon, so people began to suspect that something was wrong. At first, the neighbors thought he had spent the night at another tribe's house due to a medical visit. It wasn't until someone brought a sick lizard to his door that Ifá emerged, looking confused by the sudden high fever he was suffering from.

Before the visitor could say anything, Ifá had already begun to murmur "It's okay, buddy" while giving the lizard a medical examination.

But this was just the beginning. Midway through the consultation, someone else rushed in, shouting that they had detected an incursion from the Abyss heading towards the City of Ashes, and that they needed a doctor to save the wounded Qucusaurians.

Muttering another of his “It’s okay, buddy,” Ifá followed the rider to the front. That night, after everything had happened, Ifá took the medicine his neighbor had given him and slept for a whole day. When he woke up, drenched in sweat, he fumbled on the nightstand for water, but instead, he found a Vision.

Due to the fever, Ifá's memories were somewhat hazy. However, for him, that time was no different from the other times he had gone out to tend to the wounded; it wasn't even the first time he had had to work while sick. He certainly couldn't recall if he had done anything truly special to make the heavens decide he needed a Vision right then and there.

Almost every day, Ifá sets aside time to organize the medical records. In a quiet moment like this, so rare to find, he reads through old and new cases, recalling all the illnesses and injuries he has treated. Every lesson from the past is invaluable and worth sharing with those in the profession who need it. Furthermore, Ifá finds it very relaxing to fold papers at the same angle.

These are not legends of heroes or valuable ancient scrolls, but hastily written notes full of medical jargon that no one, apart from Ifá, would want to read.

But Ifá always remains engrossed in his notes. As he recalls the details of each treatment, he sometimes even adds a few extra annotations.

Finally, put the notes back inside the closet. If necessary, also place some desiccant and insect repellent inside.

Ifá continues with these habits day after day, just as plants grow and wither season after season.

The Nightwind Augurs had their settlement very near the Plumaflora Tribe, but at the same time, they were the most mysterious of all. Ifá didn't quite know what to do there and planned to pass by on his way home. But as he walked, he couldn't help but feel watched, though when he turned around, he couldn't catch a glimpse of anyone. Like an Iktomisaur chasing its own tail, Ifá continued this absurd dance, whispering to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, a shout stopped him in his tracks. Ifá turned around to find a fair-haired girl with one hand on her hip and the other pointing angrily at him. Before he could even consider whether he had done something wrong, someone grabbed him and he took off running.

Everything happened so fast that Ifá barely remembers the details. In any case, he had unwittingly become embroiled in a conflict between a grandmother and a grandson who had been practicing his invisibility skills by positioning himself behind everyone who passed by. It had even worked on the tribe's elders. "What's this invisibility technique, pal? Does that even exist?" Such questions from Ifá, along with his good temper, managed to calm Abu Itztli's anger.

When he finally arrived home, exhausted, his parents asked him about his trip. He had too much to tell them and was really tired, so he simply replied, “I had a great time and met lots of good friends.”

“And I know we’ll see each other again,” she thought.

Before he left, Chasca told him about a guide he could find in the Village of Springs, a girl named Mualani. Ifá wandered around the entrance of the water sports shop a couple of times, but, aside from stumbling upon a surfboard, it turned out to be a pointless trip. Later, he entered a surf competition on his own, and it was at the awards ceremony that he finally bumped into Mualani. After learning that he had managed to secure a podium finish without ever having surfed before, Mualani showered him with praise. Coming from the reigning champion, those kind words were certainly worth their weight in gold.

As for the Community of Fertility, its fruits were irresistible, but the trip would have been much more pleasant if the locals hadn't insisted on challenging him to a wrestling match every time he turned a corner. Realizing he didn't stand much of a chance of winning, Ifá declined many invitations, explaining that he needed his hands intact to practice his profession. Finally, this period of his journey concluded with him signing up for three months of training with Iansán. After a final wave, Ifá left without attending a single class.

To be honest, Ifá considers himself quite athletic. He also gets along famously with dinosaurs, and he passed the flying test without much trouble. Thanks to both of these advantages, Ifá thought he could cross Natlan with ease. So, while he wasn't yet overwhelmed with responsibilities, he decided to visit the other tribes.

In the Echo's Offspring, he met Xilonen, the skilled craftswoman. She was full of enthusiasm and soon began designing medical equipment for Ifá. Later, he discovered that Xilonen was working on a commission for Mavuika at the time, so anything unrelated to that commission was a breath of fresh air. Then, he heard others say that Xilonen was very difficult to reach (as she climbed extremely fast), so Ifá considered himself very fortunate.

The Tree Sprouts reminded him of the Plumaflora Tribe, for the people lived their lives peacefully high in the mountains. Ifá thoroughly enjoyed his time there, throwing grappling hooks and scaling cliffs. His only regret was not having met that young, renowned dinosaur hunter. Later, when Ahau had to visit his clinic, Ifá's wish was granted. It was a happy moment for everyone, except for Ahau.

On the one hand, Cacucu wasn't particularly skilled at using language to express such a thing, and on the other, he'd never felt the need to tell her, so he didn't plan to. Cacucu's mother had finally succumbed to her old injuries, and surviving alone in the wild was quite a feat for a small lizard like him. He hadn't encountered many humans, but Cacucu quickly decided that Ifá, who had helped his mother, was the best person to follow. If he could one day become an assistant at Ifá's clinic to repay the favor, all the better. That would be a great achievement in the lizard world.

After carrying out the first step, the second part of the plan was missing: playing dumb.

Given Ifá's personality, who was more than willing to take on the responsibilities of others, if he knew Cacucu's story, he would probably be overcome by an inexplicable sense of guilt and responsibility.

However, Cacucu preferred to forget about that part. If they were going to be true colleagues, their relationship had to be sincere, without anything that could cloud it.

Ifá was running out of excuses, and Cacucu was truly inseparable from him, so in the end, he reluctantly agreed to adopt him (or so he pretended). He even offered to work as Ororon's delivery boy for a month to make it up to him.

But, if we take a closer look at this story, there are two gaps that Ifá is unaware of.

Lagoon number one: the peculiar case of the cultivated field. Cacucu isn't stupid, so why would he bother Ororon unnecessarily? In reality, they had been allies from the very beginning. If Cacucu wanted to fulfill his ambitious dream of becoming an assistant at the Ifá clinic, the first step was to find a way in. And to do that, they had to put Ifá in a difficult position.

Lagoon number two: Although Ifá believes that the first time he saw the small, round lizard was when he rescued it on the road, Cacucu remembers an older version of the story. What no one knows is that Cacucu's mother suffered very serious injuries, and if it hadn't been for Ifá's swift intervention, she might never have been able to lay the egg from which that little genius hatched. When Cacucu broke out of the shell, he saw Ifá's silhouette for the first time. Sadly, Ifá doesn't remember it.

If he were to truly give in to his empathy and adopt every single injured little reptile he encountered, Ifá would have to abandon his clinic and live in the wild. But he knows himself too well: if he were to embark on such a path, he would follow it to the end. Therefore, Ifá has an unwritten rule: unless absolutely necessary, he will not adopt any animal (or any human or creature of any kind). “I won’t fall, I won’t fall…” Ifá closes her eyes so as not to see the sad expressions of the little animals. “I will help him find a new home, but I cannot keep him.”

He has always shown great discipline in this matter, so even to this day, he refuses to admit that Cacucu was an exception. “It seems this fellow isn’t growing up.” Ifá offers excuse after excuse to justify himself. “He’s small and round! Besides, he can talk, but he doesn’t know what he’s saying… If I let him go now, it could be dangerous for him, so I’ll keep a close eye on him a little longer.”

“Actually, she’s taking advantage of him, she’s just ashamed to admit it,” Ororon would say, revealing the truth.

Although Ororon pretended to have nothing to do with it, the truth was that he wasn't much help when it came to the issue of adopting Cacucu. He would simply point to the vegetables in his field, whose leaves showed Cacucu's pecking marks, as a form of silent protest to Ifá.

Although he was quite mature for his age, he hadn't had the chance to fully mature before his parents passed away. At seventeen, after their funeral, Ifá felt a great emptiness in his chest. He no longer knew what to think.

In the end, he became a veterinarian.

Perhaps it was to uphold tradition, or perhaps simply out of inertia, but Ifá soon became known as the most talented veteran, with the gentlest temperament and the greatest sense of responsibility. Once he made the decision, he stopped overthinking it. As the war grew more brutal, Ifá's list of responsibilities only grew, but it was the very burden of his work that helped him through that difficult period of his life.

Now that the war is a thing of the past, Ifá finally has time to sit down and think about life, although there doesn't seem to be much to meditate on.

Everyone has a task to fulfill, he thinks. He just hopes that everyone can be happy.

If you include his distant relatives, Ifá has a large family that has gained considerable renown for its veterinary skills. However, upon closer inspection, quite a few have chosen to pursue different professions. In other words, neither sentimentality nor logic dictated that Ifá had to become a veterinarian. Studying this field is exhausting. As a child, it seemed that all Ifá could read were books on medicine, and the words and diagrams swirled in his mind like a stream of water, leaving him unable to retain any of it. When this happened, little Ifá would think angrily, “It’s not like I have to be a veterinarian!”

However, he soon began to understand what he was reading. Perhaps due to their frequent visits to the battlefield to help the wounded, Ifá's parents had been affected by the Abyss, and their health had become quite fragile. Although still young, Ifá, who had noticed something, kept thinking, worried, "It's not like I have to be a veterinarian..."

The truth is, he wasn't dissatisfied; in fact, he felt very grateful. It's just that whenever an elder of the tribe spoke of the past, he would find himself thinking about his past self.

Some children also enjoyed listening to those old stories. A little friend who still had traces of lava cake at the corner of his mouth laughed heartily when he heard Ifá recount an incident in which he couldn't learn his lesson: "Ifá used to be a little boy too! He was little Ifá!"

It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like that, so Ifá was taken aback for a moment. He soon regained his composure, however, and while searching for a handkerchief to wipe his face, he said cheerfully, “What are you laughing at? How old are you?”

“I’m six years old!”

"What a coincidence! I have five. How about I call you big brother from now on?"

Ifá sometimes thinks that people don't choose their place in life, but that the place chooses the people. He himself couldn't remember when he began to be the person who always looked after others. The neighbors' young children called him "big brother," the dinosaurs, healthy or not, whimpered as they followed him, and even several adults called him "teacher" as a sign of respect, a fact that truly terrified him.

At the same time, this made him feel satisfied and proud. Perhaps due to a deep fear of losing that trust, he often went the extra mile to fulfill his duty: he made toys for the baby lizards, played the guitar, always returned from visiting a patient with several bags of fresh fruit for the neighbors, and sometimes even helped the tribe's children with their homework.

Time passed as if someone had accidentally altered it. The days when he still doubted whether he wanted to become a veterinarian and climbing onto the back of a lizard was a terrible struggle seemed like they were yesterday, but, in the blink of an eye, life had surrounded him and he had become a truly responsible adult.

"Just as humans can be doctors for dinosaurs, dinosaurs can also be doctors for humans," Ororon once said. Ifá was speechless for a while and then said, “Not everything that sounds good makes sense.”

"I see...".

Ifá was touched by the boy's tone. Ororon wasn't stupid, but sometimes he said things that didn't make much sense, perhaps to see how Ifá would react. Although Ifá was fully aware of what was happening, he couldn't help but reflect on his life and how his actions had led him, one by one, to end up in that situation.

In this life, there's never a shortage of things that can overwhelm you. Being a veterinarian is like running a daycare; it's impossible to control creatures without much intelligence, you can only try to calm them down at all costs. Getting a wound, cleaning it, applying medicine, giving an injection... this whole process is painful, and to be honest, if Ifá were a cat or a small dog, he wouldn't be able to distinguish between them either. Yelping and struggling when you're in pain is a natural instinct. Losing the ability to feel pain would be like losing an alert that something is wrong. It would be very dangerous.

Perhaps life is like that too, so there will always be sadness and goodbyes to remind you that everything continues, that both humans and dinosaurs must continue to grow year after year.

Encountering this situation was normal for a doctor; it was one of the occupational hazards, or at least that's how Ifá consoled himself.

And in return, he earned the gratitude and affection of animals and people, and could hear more people calling him "colleague".

If all the joy and happiness could counteract the frustration and sadness, it would all be worth it.

History Character details The Plumaflora Tribe lives in the skies, or at least that's what the people of Natlan say. Although there are the Tree Sprouts, who leap between cliffs, and the Nightwind Augurs, who gaze at the stars from the mountaintops, only members of the Plumaflora Tribe can touch the clouds and ride rainbows like true knights of the skies.

Looking up at the sky is an extraordinary feeling. Seeing an empty space, without obstacles, where the human need to fly, freely and without worries, can be fully satisfied.

But the flames of war spread beneath their feet, accompanied by cries for help. Even a Qucusaurus is forced to fall and abandon the sky when wounded.

Ifá is the gentleman whose gaze always rests on the surface. His duty and custom have given him a keen eye for detecting difficult situations.

“Every human or animal must return to the earth someday,” says Ifá with a smile on his face.

Personality Ifá is a cheerful man and treats others with familiarity. He tends to speak informally and often uses the term "mate," which he has adopted for Cacucu, his lizard, and Ororon, his friend. The two get along very well and often express themselves similarly, leading to very funny conversations between them.

Ifá is the most renowned veterinarian in Natlan. People from all tribes bring their dinosaurs to his clinic in the Plumaflora Tribe. He is an expert in the field and has a way with them, and he enjoys helping others.[2] He is also a considerate person. Since he usually deals more with animals than with human beings, he worries about being a nuisance and talking too much.[3]

In his free time he writes songs and plays an instrument.[4]

Appearance Ifá is a tall man with dark skin and grayish hair. He has light green eyes, an X-shaped scar over his eye, and a scar of claws on his left arm. He also has a tribal tattoo on his neck in a zigzag pattern with dots.

He wears a white cowboy hat with black, yellow, and blue patches and a black brim. The hatband hangs down to his chest and ends in a gold inverted triangle ornament with a blue tassel. He wears a black shirt with a white jacket over it. The jacket is long and has short sleeves. On the left lapel is a Veterisaur ID card. On his left arm he wears a black glove, and on his right a long glove similar to those used by falconers.

He wears jeans held up with a light brown belt with a square buckle featuring triangular designs. The jeans are blue, but they have a darker cover over them with a built-in holster. He wears tall boots with two X's on the front.

Profile "The last time Ifá came by here, she took two jars of honey, I suppose to make cookies for the little dinosaurs. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I just hope she remembers to leave me a few when she's finished making them." Ororon

Ifá always bursts swiftly from the sky with his pistol, in a grand entrance that makes most people think that reinforcements from the Plumaflora Tribe have arrived.

However, when people look closely at the card this colleague is wearing on his chest and the first aid kit he has on his back, even if they can't make out what that round thing is that accompanies it, they may come to the conclusion that he looks more like a doctor.

Everyone thinks, "Oh, it's the air ambulance!" and they approach to explain the situation. Ifá doesn't care much about what they say, as he only has eyes for those fellow lizards who need treatment. Only after making sure he has treated the lizards' wounds does he deign to help the surrounding humans with a few minor problems.

Little by little, many have learned to distinguish the silhouette of this veterinarian and, when they meet him along the way, they make sure to greet him.

Ifá doesn't remember everyone's face, but when greeted in a friendly way, he always smiles and exclaims: "Hello to you too, colleague!"

Ifá is a veterinarian from the Plumaflora Tribe. He is very well-known throughout Natlan, and people from all tribes bring their reptiles to him for examination. He can communicate with reptiles and is always giving lessons to his patients. He can play the guitar and is a close friend of Ororon, as they both prefer being with reptiles to humans.[1] He has sometimes brought Citlalí vegetables on his behalf. He used to talk to Chuychú and his father about medicine and has occasionally asked Xilonen to create medical supplies for his work.

Cacucu is a Qucusaurio who assists Ifá at his clinic and is also considered his "colleague." Cacucu has learned several Ifá phrases and, despite fully understanding human language, can only repeat them to communicate due to the limitations of his vocal cords.

Appearance Cacucu is a young Qucusaurus. He doesn't resemble a typical chick; instead, he has a smaller, rounder body with a large feather on top of his head and is light pink with small feathers. His left eye is covered by a white patch, the same X shape as the one Ifa has in his eye. Cacucu carries a light brown backpack with medicines and plants, as well as a strap to carry Ifa when needed. On the left side of the backpack strap is a badge with his photo and the logo of the clinic where Ifa works.
