GENERAL INFO
Personality:
Ono is for the most part friendly, eager to speak up whether to inform or advise, and seems at his happiest when he is at Kion's side, spending most of his time with his friends the Guard. While not a loner per se, he prefers to go on his own when the Guard aren't working together on a mission or otherwise. He loves his friends, but tends to see his friend groups as all-or-nothing affairs.
As for his attitude, Ono is excitable owing to his small stature, despite eating grubs as an egret does, he takes no delight in filth, slimy or otherwise. Among those he is close with, he enjoys a sense of camadarie, expressed through snarking and sass. You truly know he is your friend when he isn't afraid to eschew formality, politeness, or reverence.

History:
For a bird that runs his beak like Ono, little is known of him before the guard. Ono was saved as an egg by his friends who would eventually form the rest of the guard; not knowing the signifigance of the encounter until much later. Kion chose him for the Lion Guard without hesitation, not just because he was a bird but for his amazing sight, vision that is the envy of bird and beast alike.
Ono served alongside the Lion Guard as their eyes in the sky, but not hesitating to fight hyenas himself either. Guiding and advising most often, but taking on tasks as small as friendly advice, as big as serving the queen or princess in Zazu's rare absence. Taking on challenges as small as acting (quite reluctantly he would add) as a tickbird to a rhino, up to his actions in the War Against Scar.
Sadly his titiular Keeness of Sight was taken from him after saving his friend from a volcano, alongside Kion's mind to some extent from Ushari's bite. The two were handicapped, and put on a long path to the Tree of Life, to find a cure... ultimately, they found a new home to serve and protect. Ono's sight was restored, yes; but a far cry from what he had before. Kion settled down to marry Rani, leaving the Pridelands in the care of a new Lion Guard.
There is much to learn from the Tree of Life, Rani and the Night Pride; and much to teach them as well, although settling in has taken some time, and with Fuli's departure the once-tight guard is left to reflect on their ambitions, their goals. A new chapter is unfolding, but what this egret seeks remains the same. To fly and to see, to learn from each other...
