Unlike coastal rito, highland rito are completely covered in feathers of a typically vibrant color. The colors of these feathers vary greatly from one highland rito to another, and can include hues as diverse as blue, green, pink, brown, white, and more, but these hues tend to become more saturated as the rito ages. A highland rito is born with wings that naturally form, and unlike coastal rito do not receive them from an external source.

Coastal rito are so named because they normally live on coasts or small isles. They can be visually distinguished from highland rito by their feathers, which are almost always a solid hue of brown, tan, or sometimes white instead of a more vibrant color. Unlike highland rito, they have separate "hair" on their scalps, which tends to be similarly earthy colors of black, brown, gray, or white.
     A coastal rito is born with feathers and beak, but does not inherently grow wings. These rito typically gain wings as a coming-of-age ritual performed in the early teens, which requires the direct magical blessing of either Valoo or another powerful supernatural being. While almost all rito are able to complete this ritual, those who fail to do so gradually become regarded as separate and even fundamentally inferior—adult flightless rito are considered to be "fokka."

Fokka

 Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 1.
 Fleet of Foot. Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet.
 High Leap. Both your long jump and your high jump cover a number of feet equal to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet immediately before the jump. As normal, a standing jump covers only half this distance.
 Armor Adaption. The lightweight but terrestrial body of a fokka adapts particularly easy to armor. You are always proficient in light armor. If you would otherwise become proficient with light armor, you also become proficient with medium armor and shields (but not heavy shields). If you would otherwise become proficient with medium armor, you also become proficient with heavy armor and all shields. If you would otherwise become proficient with heavy armor, you can add your Dexterity modifier (max 1) to your AC while you wear heavy armor.
 Language. You can speak, read, and write one language of your choice from Blin, Eldish, Hebric, and Zoran.

Rito are famous for their ability to fly through the skies with ease, but not all rito are so fortunate. Respected society tends to overlook or forget about flightless rito; about "fokka." Fokka share all the ancestry and physiology of other rito, but for one reason or another are unable to fly. By any other measure these rito are just as strong, capable, and respectable as any Light Worlder—but fokka can't help but feel inferior when their families can fly and they cannot. Fokka may be unable to safely live among the mountainous villages of rito, which are often built assuming all adults who belong in them can fly or at least glide. Worse yet, fokka may be formally unwelcome in their own hometown. Among rito, flightlessness is widely seen as shameful.
     As coastal rito usually gain flight as a coming-of-age ritual with their patron god, those who age into adulthood without performing this ritual may become sacrilegious outcasts. The mere presence of a fokka can be regarded as an insult to the patron deity who so generously gives rito flight. Most flightless rito are coastal, and consequently most fokka share the brown feathers reminiscent of such rito.
     Though relatively rare, it is possible for a highland rito to become flightless as well—usually through injury or disease—and these individuals often leave their ancestral homes out of shame or other negative emotions even if they aren't forced to leave.
     These difficult origins often harden the hearts of fokka, and they tend towards evil more than most rito. The fortunate among them find refuge with hylians, gorons, or other races of light—but many turn to live in isolation or alongside ruthless monsters who side with Ganon.
     Despite their inability to fly, fokka retain the lightweight bodies of creatures adapted for flight. This, combined with increased leg strength, enables fokka to perform incredibly high jumps compared to most terrestrial humanoids.

Lineage feats

Name

Effects

Free Bird

Through training and perhaps even physical transformation, you have learned to fly effortlessly. It is easy for you to rapidly switch between flapping your wings and using your hands even while maintaining flight. This gives you the following benefits: You gain a fly speed of 60 feet. If you have the Labored Flight trait, this feat effectively replaces that trait. If your heritage is coastal or highland, increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1. This cannot increase your ability score above its maximum.
