You know, the awful thing is, a nightingale pooka is a brilliant concept. I can imagine a drab little creature with bright eyes and a voice lovely enough to rival an eshu's, who uses all that startling vocal beauty to play everybody around her and make them love her for it. She's got not attention span to speak of and she wants people to like her (probably because she gets bored easily and friends are entertaining), so she routinely lies about herself, spinning all sorts of improbable stories to seem more interesting. She's not particularly malicious, but things just don't hold her attention well, by and large, and her thoughtlessness probably causes accidents. She'd probably be a bubble-headed social wrecking ball of a character, cheerfully telling people whatever she thought they wanted to hear until it became quite obvious (to anyone who didn't already realize that, duh, she's a pooka) that she was lying through her teeth.
