Dahlia

"You won't know what hit you"

''I'm the geek who gets the pigs. 'Nuff said.''

Dahlia is a tan and brown Bird that appears in Angry Birds Stella. This Bird is a main character in the game and was introduced in February 2014; being part of Stella's flock. She is the 5th and final bird introduced, as well as the strongest one.

Appearance
Dahlia's crest consists of nothing more than two large feathers, which she sometimes uses to dance in the Angry Birds Stella animated series. She has a brown plumage that becomes paler around her eyes, and white at her belly. She is of a tough, stocky build. She has a curved yellow beak that is very short, typical for her species.

In The Angry Birds Movie, Dahlia also has a moderate wingspan and average-length, slender, scaly legs that match the color of her beak.

Personal Data

 * Name: Dahlia
 * Known Aliases: Smarty
 * Group Affiliation: The Stella Flock
 * Best Friends: Stella, Poppy, Luca, Willow, Nana, Gale (Formerly)
 * Possible Family: Unknown
 * Voiced By: Sari Mallien (Toons)

Ability
Dahlia's ability allows her to phase through solid objects until she becomes solid again. When she becomes solid, she uses a force known as "Science-Fu" to launch surrounding objects away. This force is similar to the explosion caused by Bomb but is triggered immediately rather than having a delay. However, the blast radius of the force is also stronger than Bomb's explosion's radius.

Personality
She is the motherly figure of the Stella Flock and is one who expects no-nonsense from the others. She is very smart, also symbolized by her species: owls in many cultures represent wisdom.

She has 2 squarish pieces of hair which she uses to walk and dance. She enjoys fixing and building things, as in the cover art she is shown to be holding a telescope she (by assumption) fixed or put together. She loves fun, being adventurous, and being creative, just like her friends.

She is easily manipulated (Camp Scary), but also knows how to manipulate others. (Pig Power) She is extremely intelligent and resourceful but doesn't always know what other people want.

She’s a gardener too and enjoys creating new species of exotic plants."

IMPATIENT BUT COMMITED - "Dahlia is pretty impatient and gets pretty angry if anyone disturbs her experiments or if the results don’t work out as planned. But hey, who cares if things go wrong. Dahlia simply keeps trying until she gets it right. #commitment"

Stella
Stella is one of Dahlia's best friends. Throughout the animated series, Dahlia is concerned and looking out for her well being, such as helping in the attempt to get rid of her fear of flying in Own The Sky. She is sort of a motherly-figure to her but doesn't expect nonsense from her as she attempts to ignore her when Stella comes in her lab in the very same episode.

Poppy
Poppy is one of Dahlia's best friends. While she gets irritated by Poppy's constant jokes and pranks, they are still good friends. Dahlia once attempts to cheer Poppy up by making an entirely new drum set for her.

Luca
Dahlia sees Luca as a son/younger brother, as she is part of the attempt to bathe him and attempts to get him to sleep. She, along with her friends, instantly freak out when they realize Luca is not in his room and search all around for him.

Willow
While their relationship isn't explored as much, it is assumed that they are very good friends as they are seen next to each other multiple times in the series, talking and laughing.

Gale
Gale is one of Dahlia's former best friends, “former” due to Gale ditching her friends for power over the pigs. She seems to be more afraid of Gale, as she hides from her and the pigs when they are doing construction near the tree.
