Pamola

Pamola is Frisco Byrd's Persona. Taking the form of a large thunderbird, Pamola is skilled at fast lightning-based magic attacks, to balance his user's slower physical fighting style.

Mythology
Originally, Pamola was a legendary bird spirit spoken of in Abenaki mythology, that caused cold weather. According to the specifics in the Penobscot tribal nation, Pamola inhabited Katahdin, the tallest mountain in Maine, and acted as its protector as well as the god of thunder. He was described as having the head of a moose, the body of a man, and the wings and feet of an eagle. His presence on the mountain was one of the main reasons that climbing the mountain was considered taboo, as he was both feared and respected by the Penobscot nation.

Though this version of Pamola has a much more common appearance, he still holds tremendous power as a god of thunder, and his lean bird body makes up in speed what it lacks in defense.

User's True Self
Before Pamola awakened, Frisco appeared to be very self-centered and unconcerned with what anyone else was going through. He was burying his true desire to support and care for others, in an attempt to not seem like a pushover. Frisco's friendships become Pamola's new metaphorical "mountain" to protect, and he gives in to what a papa bear he really is.

Fighting Style
Pamola excels in lightning-fast magic attacks, raining electricity on the entire battlefield from above. This helps to counterbalance Frisco's slow movement, and means the two can still attack even when the user can't get in close to deal damage with his hammer. At higher levels they'll be able to combine their skills into powerful combos, adding an electric element to Frisco's physical abilities and dealing extra damage.
