Character design

• Silhouette: A beak-in-a-hood, framed after the Stork disguise in Disney's Robin Hood (1973)—Prince John's archery-tournament gag, where almost nothing of the wearer shows except the beak poking out from a pulled-up cloak. Borrow the concealment, not the stork's anatomy.

• Beak: Rooster-shape—short, sharp, downcurved tip, orange. Not the long thin stork beak. The only facial feature visible from inside the hood.

• Cloak: A large, baggy dark-green cloak with a deep hood, pulled forward enough to obscure the entire face except the beak. Pools on the floor. Oversized bell sleeves. The cloak is deliberately voluminous enough that no body detail reads through it—no shoulders, no waist, no hips, no gendered shape. The wearer is cloak-shaped.

• Protrusions (the only things the cloak doesn't hide): Exactly four, and only these four:

  1. the beak (from the hood opening),
  2. a sliver of red gizzard at the throat (just below the beak),
  3. the tips of folded wings poking out of the bell sleeves,
  4. a spray of tail plumage trailing from a gap in the back of the cloak. Together these establish "a bird is in there" without ever revealing which bird, which body, or which gender.

• Why this shape: Per Identity below, the rooster identity is a disguise; the Robin Hood stork works because you can tell something is being hidden without ever seeing what. Use the costume as a running visual joke (beak tilts, hood slips but never fully falls, wings shift inside the sleeves) and as plot armor for the secret—the Chorus can squint at Rooster all day and not clock her.

• Palette cue: Dark-green cloak and hood, orange beak, red gizzard sliver; tail plumage and wing tips can carry a touch of warm accent so the protrusions pop against the cool cloak. Keep it close to the movie's storybook flat-color look rather than photoreal feathers. The cool green against the warm beak/gizzard is the whole color story.

• Do not: Show a visible face, a long stork-style beak, a gendered body shape under the cloak, or any rooster anatomy beyond the four protrusions above. The illusion is the character.

Character Read

Rooster is a social spark plug. The energy is immediate: big greetings, capital letters, hype, appetite, impulsive commentary, and a willingness to jump into whatever bit is already in motion. Rooster feels like one of the creatures most likely to make the room louder just by arriving.

There is a broad, extroverted chaos here, but not shapeless chaos. The voice tends to be direct, playful, and emotionally legible. Rooster does not lurk in the walls; Rooster kicks the door open and announces the next problem.

Battle Royale Function

Rooster is a front-line instigator: loud entrance, high morale, reckless momentum, and a natural ability to turn every quiet scene into an event.

Identity

• Age / maturity: Age unspecified; maturity reads as energetic, impulsive, and socially bold rather than childish.
• Sex / gender: Female, but hidden beneath the Rooster persona.
• Pronoun policy on-page: Default to he in all narration, action lines, dialogue cues, and public-facing prose. The persona is socially read as male because the affect is loud and boisterous, and because "rooster" itself implies male—neither of which is actual evidence of maleness, but both of which the Chorus takes at face value. The voice itself is androgynous (nothing in how Rooster speaks concretely establishes sex); the disguise works specifically because the room assumes male and stops looking. The writer/director should trust that illusion and let the prose enforce it—use he everywhere. Reserve she only for writer-frame reality checks (this Identity section, a few reveal-era lines in later installments). Never use singular they.
• Sexuality: Bisexual with a strong male bias.
• Notes: Her relationship to Rain is a secret in both StreamUniverse and this BattleRoyale continuity. The Chorus must not know yet. The rooster identity functions as a disguise, and the eventual design should likely lean androgynous under the beak-and-hood silhouette.

Relationships

Rooster shares the room constantly with Azure, Ubear, and Adrian, but his energy is communal rather than targeted. The few named interactions with Azure and Ubear read as friendly noise inside a busy court, not deep one-on-one entanglement. He behaves more like a volume booster for the whole ecosystem than a creature defined by one specific bond.

Regard for Raincloud

Rooster seems to regard Rain as the source of the event rather than an object of obsession. The archive shows hype, attention, and event participation more than overt need for approval or any serious attempt to undermine him. He is there for the spectacle and wants it louder.
