Starry Form: As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to take on a starry form, rather than transforming into a beast.

Character History:
* Khalil was not a Defender, but he really wanted to be one. However, being just a little younger, shy, sensitive, quiet and often smelling of the tanning and taxidermy compounds used by his father, he was always rebuffed. Sometimes harshly as kids so often do. * Add to this the fact his father became a disreputable drunk and gambler following the death of Khalil's mother, older brother, and sister when a fever swept through the area. Young Khalil was doomed to never be part of the group. * Still he always watched (spied was often the word used) from a distance and knew about Juniper. Because of his love, compassion, and interest in animals he even snuck in to where she was hidden one night to see the owlbear cub for himself. * It was that love of animals that his father really disliked. Where Khalil would rather try to heal and save or leave be, his father saw hides and coin and the pleasure of the kill. His son's seeming squeamishness was the cause of more than a few beatings. * It was after one such episode that Khalil actually saw everyone leave for the carnival. He also saw his father stagger into the fae festival. Not out of concern for the village children or the owlbear cub, for the opportunity to win prizes and fairy gold. * So it was Khalil ended up at the carnival in search of the Defenders. While the boy searched for the Defenders and Juniper, his old man immediately sat down to the first dice game he found. * By the end of the day the man had lost his only remaining son in an ill fated bet on one last throw of the dice. Certainly he was drunk, but it was no excuse. The moment the dice finished rolling Khalil's memories disappeared and he found himself completely lost and alone in the carnival. * The other Defenders likely saw him trying to follow all of you around, but he never got close enough to really participate. By the time you all left, Khalil was nowhere to be seen as his new mentor had taken 'possession' of his newly won human child. * Khalil was taken from the carnival by a dour old half elf farmer who went by the name Gorm One Eye for obvious reasons. Gorm's farm in the Feywild was struggling and he made a pact with the Pumpkin King. In exchange for the fey lord's blessing upon his land for the next ten years, Gorm would offer up Khalil. The Pumpkin King agreed. Khalil was unaware of the farmer's intentions or the bargain made. * Aside from planning to hand over Khalil's body and soul to the fey harvest lord, Gorm was a reasonably decent provider and mentor. Beatings were few, food was plentiful (thanks to the fey blessing), and the half elf taught the growing lad much about the land, farming, the business of farming, and the basics of fey edicate. In return, Khalil worked, tending fields and stock. His knack with animals was a boon. He was often able to see a wound healed or disease cleared. With less attrition of his herds and stock Gorm was able to sell more wool, more milk and butter and eggs, and all the other goods Khalil helped produce. But throughout all this time, the boy growing into a young man is haunted by bad dreams. Dreams of other children. Dreams of dark curses and important things lost. Dreams of the carnival, dice rolling, dandelions blowing in the wind, Mr. Witchlight glowering under a silvery beam of a full moon. Khalil has no idea where the dreams come from or what they mean. All are forgotten for the most part except for eerie feelings of dread, sorrow, and loneliness. * Khalil's fate truly changed when he was out walking in the deeper forest one day. Gorm was away delivering to the carnival and having completed the days chores early, Khalil had much of the day free. * He comes across a Kitsune caught in a leg trap. The forlorn fey creature is nearly starved and severely dehydrated. Khalil hurries to her rescue. While freeing the multi tailed fox, Khalil cuts himself on the sharp teeth of the trap. This spilling of his own blood creates a bond between the two. * The grateful Kitsune who calls herself Verity Lightdancer begins to teach Khalil the ways of the fey and many other things as she recovers back at the farm. Although not pleased with another mouth to feed, Verity being part of Lady Summer's court can easily pull rank on the simple farmer. Verity gives him his name "Quietcrow" because of his softspoken manner, dark ravenblack hair, slightly pointed nose, and somewhat gangly limbed look. * Verity introduces Khalil to others within the nearer regions of the Feywild. And again his quiet competence and natural gifts for nature do him good. He helps a dryad rid her tree of a blight. He works for days clearing a spring of filth and waste dumped there by a mortal army passing through on some hopeless quest of conquest. He helps reseed a meadow with wildflowers for a local Giant Bee colony after a fire devastated the area. These acts were met with gifts in kind. Including the secrets for making mead and special honey candies that eventually become a new staple at the carnival. * Finally it is Verity who intervenes for Khalil when the Pumpkin King comes calling ten years later to collect what is owed. Long hours and days are spent in fey courts as the kitsune argues for Khalil freedom and against Gorm's unfair bargaining of another's soul. Eventually the matter is brought before the Summer Court and all of Khalil's kind acts result in a fateful decision against Gorm. The Pumpkin King acquires the half elf and the farm is granted to Khalil. But the human's talents wasted as a simple farmer, the court orders him to learn more of nature and the mysteries of the world and caring for the land. With the boon of the farm, he is bound to the court. Although not a direct servant of the Summer Queen, a debt is still owed and he is bound to the court in ways he may not understand, for who can truly understand fey politics. In addition, he still owes the Pumpkin King a boon. For although his soul is free of the Pumpkin King's whim, he still lived upon the produce and gifts of the fey lords blessing for ten years. Thus another boon is owed to be delivered at the fey lord's request. * So now Khalil studies the stars with Verity, works the farm and sells his goods monthly to the carnival. Boons are owed to powerful fey and Gorm, although a subject of the Pumpkin King, holds Khalil responsible for the loss of his farm and way of life. Revenge burns within the old halfelf's blood. * Khalil continues to be haunted by dreams of children playing, of dark events taking place. He gazes at the stars and beyond the usual constellations of Archer, Chalice, Dragon, Pegasus, King and Queen, he sees others. A valiant dragon knight, the flowing willow, the broken twins, the forgotten one, the silent gambler, the rambling owlbear. He still does not understand these dreams or nightmares and they always fade before he can truly remember much of them. He continues to study the stars, using them to make stories within his own mind even as he slowly begins to comprehend the power in each of those tiny lights in the sky can bring.
