Muse Birthday Meme

While I was pondering birthday things, I realized that a bunch of characters have a birthday in March. Which then led me to wonder what others' birthdays were, and why we didn't have a spot we could all access. So, this is now that!

Instructions:

Find your characters' birth month (or the equivalent)
Stick their name and birthday in the subject title
Put any fun info you want to in the comment (circumstances, name meaning, whatevs)
Character doesn't have a canon birthday? Got a headcanon one? Use that! If they have a completely unknown one, stick that in the Unknown section.
???
~~Profit!~~ Party!

I'll stick the results after a few days in a handy, dandy google doc too!

And because it wouldn't be a real birthday meme without our favorite party pony...

WHOOPS

We don't even know if Gensokian youkai have birthdays in the first place.

After a few thousand years, you kinda forget.

People where Kaj is from typically use a 13-month lunar calendar, but I haven't worked out the details besides that.

She's also a little over a month older than she claims to be on a technicality: due to the fact that infant mortality rates in her world are absolutely ridiculous, kids are usually named after the first full lunar cycle following their birth. People then use their namedays as birthdays in pretty much every meaningful way.

Namedays in Valdra are also fairly low-key except for the very rich--your family/friends would make you a nice meal (which could and usually did include cake if you had the ingredients, but didn't traditionally require cake) and you'd often get a flower crown or other obnoxious floral accessory to wear for the day. Actual parties weren't really the norm unless you were someone of note.

I should probably also note that Valdrans don't typically put candles on cakes for any reason, but who cares, you get a crown.

Suffice to say that she'd be rather confused by the Standard Birthday Protocol here. Especially if Pinkies are involved.

She was born in late winter and had her nameday during early spring, SO I kinda want to say sometime in March would be a rough equivalent but I'm not sure.
