Legend of the Guardians Character - Gylfie

A female Elf Owl, Micranthene whitneyi, who is Soren's best friend and part of "the Band." Gylfie was hatched in a cactus in the Desert of Kuneer and was snatched by patrols from St. Aggie's after trying to fly before her wings had completely fledged. She escaped with Soren, and after befriending Twilight and Digger, came to the Great Ga'hoole tree. She later becomes the navigation ryb. Gylfie is both articulate and intelligent, although this is emphasized less once Otulissa enters the series.
