The Gray Crowned Crane is a type of bird Friend that first appeared in the Misaki Park Collab. She has since been featured in Kemono Friends Festival.

Appearance

Gray Crowned Crane has fair skin and bright gray eyes. Adorning her head is a yellow crown made of plumes that represents the creature's signature "crown". Her center bangs are a dark gray, whereas the longer side bangs are stark white with a red base. Her impressive ponytail, reaching her legs, starts as a white and gradients to a gray, and the tip is white, brown and yellow. The wings on either side of her head have light gray feathers along the top and darker gray feathers on the bottom, similar to the real life bird's wings.

She dons long, black opera-style gloves with a white hem, which go up to her underarms. Her shirt is a sleeveless light gray and her skirt is the same shade of black as her gloves. There is a white, black, and red patterned patch on the left side of her shirt. Attached to her shirt collar is a red tie with a white extension resembling a feather. Lastly, her footwear consists of dark brown leggings and black Mary Jane style shoes.
