Magpies are a unique summon in that they value pretty things in excess. Most birds don't wear anywhere near as many trinkets as this species does, however, they're more intelligent than some of the more common summon clans of birds. They can speak, and at the very least, none that Obito regularly use is without a voice.


Akarui
An intellectual, this bird likes to keep to herself. However, she has the tendency to collect and hoard scrolls of all kinds, so if you can sweet talk it out of her, she has some jutsu laying around her home that no one has seen in decades. Due to her preoccupation with said scrolls, she rarely ever wears jewelry or baubles of any kind.


Aoihiko
This lady is a very gentle bird. She knows how to sing and is more than capable of settling the nerves of skittish teammates children. She's a mother, though her mate is the one who tends to handle the chicks as she's one of Obito's primary non-combat summons.


Ensoku
A thief by choice, this girl is nearly impossible to keep out of anything she wants to get into. She's excellent at breaking into things, and she even has yet to meet a seal she couldn't get through if she wanted what was inside it. Thankfully, she considers few things valuable enough for the hassle.


Maboroshino
At ease by nature, this girl knows what she's about and is incredibly skilled in combat. She never wastes her movements, and because of that is excellent at dropping shrapnel from above or taking out something with her claws. She's far far larger than many of the other Magpies, being the only one large enough for Obito to ride of those regularly seen.


Saishū
The fastest bird in Obito's arsenal, he's quick enough to keep up with Gai at a dead sprint if he so desires, though his true calling isn't being a messenger, but battle. He's a medium sized bird, for a summons, coming in at about a third Maboroshino's size and always equipped for combat. His golden colored battle gauntlets never leave his feet... and other baubles just get added to his person as he finds them, though the vest, at least, has some beak friendly weapons secured inside.


Tochi
This fellow is Aoihiko's mate and is rarely seen. When he is, however, it's usually for tactical purposes, as his strengths lean heavily to political maneuvering when he's not otherwise engaged. It'a rare he would be seen without one of his three offspring: Ishigaki, Nureta, and Tsumetai.


Togatta
Too vain to lower himself to dressing 'like a human', he's unlikely to be seen wearing any baubles. He happens to be rather disdainful of humans for their inability to fly, and is prone to being bluntly cold in his evaluation of a situation. What Obito did to win his over remains unclear, as he's only respectful while actually in his presence, or at his direct request.


The Twins
These two come as a unit, and have the unfortunate tendency of boomeranging a sentence between the two of them when they're feeling especially irritating. If one is seen without the other, something is very wrong.

Ierōgādo: The one on the left, this is the more protective of the two siblings, and he's almost guaranteed to initiate a conversation first. Because of this he seens far more friendly than Tsuri.

Ierōtsurī: The one to the right, this brother is the aggressive sibling, with the unfortunate tendency to pick fights if he initiates contact with people at all. He's usually content to let Gado lead because of this.
