Description and Background: In the secluded sanctuary of an island concealed from humanity, Cardinals, passerine birds of remarkable prowess, reside. Guarded by sharp claws and unyielding beaks, they wield jutsu effortlessly, employing wing flaps and intricate sounds. At the helm of this avian realm is the royal family, led by the venerable Aphrodite.
Transformation (Basic Ability 1): Cardinals typically manifest as diminutive birds, small enough to nestle comfortably in the palm of their summoner’s hand. However, in the heat of battle, they can undergo a remarkable transformation, revealing their true and often vastly different forms.
Nest Adaptability (Basic Ability 2): Originally migratory, Cardinals have evolved remarkable adaptability, enabling them to thrive in diverse weather and environmental conditions—an essential trait for their nests and reproduction. In favourable environments, certain Cardinals can acquire an additional element or skill, further enhancing their capabilities.

Description: Aphrodite, a petite scarlet avian, materializes gracefully upon the summoner's right shoulder. In her diminutive form she can constantly channel chakra into the user flushing their system as well as adding +20 damage to the user’s Katon jutsu. Her presence exudes an air of regal grandeur, albeit accompanied by an unmistakable hint of self-righteous and egotistical demeanor. Yet, when the call to battle resounds, she invariably chooses to reveal her true form – a breathtaking metamorphosis that unfolds with breathtaking speed.
Aphrodite's transformation commences with a colossal flame tornado, an awe-inspiring spectacle that draws in chunks of earth from the surrounding terrain, altering her essence in the blink of an eye. In mere moments, this once diminutive bird becomes an imposing figure, a red predatory bird whose frame dwarfs most men. Her body is now adorned with strategically placed, lightweight armor that shields her vital regions – her wings, head, chest, and legs – from immediate peril.
The transformation completes as she unfurls her newly enhanced wings, initiating a spectacular display of power. The flaming tornado that birthed this change erupts, casting forth substantial A-Rank flames intermingled with substantial earthen fragments. This not only leaves an indelible mark upon Aphrodite's fiery plumage but also transforms the battlefield into her preferred environment – an inferno. In her new form, she mirrors the size of Gamabunta, boasting an expansive wingspan of an astonishing 20 meters.
Aphrodite, a master of the fire element up to S-rank, ascends to unparalleled prowess in her preferred nesting environments. Amidst the infernos of volcanoes, blazing fields, or forests, and the gusty landscapes of deserts, she not only commands fire but harnesses a secondary element—wind—up to S-rank as well. In these scorching or gusty domains, her power reigns supreme, showcasing a harmonious dance of flame and wind.
Note: Can be summoned thrice per battle.
Note: Aphrodite’s Armour can withstand 4 A-rank hits before breaking
Note: Remains on battlefield 5 turns.

Description: Keleano, Aphrodite's fiercely resolute younger sister, takes the form of a petite azure bird perched upon the summoner's left shoulder. In her diminutive form she can constantly channel chakra into the user flushing their system as well as adding +20 damage to the user’s Suiton jutsu. Her origin story is as captivating as her abilities – her egg, stolen from the Royal palace, found itself in the treacherous Cardinallia Valley, a passageway to doom for the thieves who met their end within. Nature, however, embraced this stolen egg, and Keleano emerged amidst a tempestuous storm. Her journey led her back to the cardinal palace, where she quickly developed a deep admiration for her elder sister Aphrodite, often mirroring her transformation into cardinal form for battle.
Keleano's metamorphosis commences with her being enshrouded in a swirling vortex of electrically charged water, instantly transforming into a majestic blue cardinal. While not as colossal as her sister, Keleano's form is still imposing, standing at approximately 3/4 the size of Gamabunta with a remarkable wingspan of 16 meters. As her transformation reaches its apex, she unfurls her enhanced wings, unleashing a torrent of electrically charged water projectiles, akin to A-rank bullets. These deluge the battlefield, leaving it drenched and desolate, as if ravaged by a tsunami, creating her favored nesting environment. The water residue left on her wings also serves as a unique water source for her to harness in battle.
Keleano, a water user by nature, emerges from the tumultuous heart of Cardinallia Valley with extraordinary agility and speed, sculpted through countless encounters with relentless hail and lightning storms. Her unique nesting habit, cultivated in favorable environments, not only elevates her speed to surpass all other cardinals, effortlessly dodging S-ranked lightning, but also bestows upon her a secondary element—lightning release. In habitats rich in water, humidity, or lightning, such as rainy days, storms, lightning storms, ocean fronts, and foggy fields, Keleano's elemental mastery truly shines.
Note: Can be summoned only twice in battle.
Note: Stays on field 5 for turns after summoned.

Description: Mother Earth, the shy and cunning cardinal, possesses a unique feather colour that allows her to seamlessly blend into any environment, essentially rendering her invisible when perched on the user’s shoulder, it only seems this way, in reality her feathers just make it hard for the eye to register her. She prefers to go unnoticed by most, avoiding drawing any unnecessary attention. However, if an opponent manages to visually register her due to her peculiar feathers, they are ensnared in an A-rank illusion. The nature of this illusion varies each time she’s detected, adding an element of unpredictability to her presence.
Mother Earth maintains a telepathic connection with her summoner and any cardinal on the field, ensuring seamless communication. Despite her petite size, comparable to the Ma toad, she remains securely perched on her summoner’s shoulder, channeling chakra into her feet to withstand high-speed movements. Instead of relying on hand seals, Mother Earth excels at triggering genjutsu by emitting a high-pitched call, capable of performing up to A-rank illusions with precision.
Note: Stays on the field for 4 turns.
Note: Can only be summoned once.
