"You don't just become a guardian overnight. It takes years. Years."
- Otulissa to Soren and Gylfie in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
Otulissa is a young female Short-eared Owl, or Asio flammeus, and a resident of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. She's a minor character in the movie, and appears to be Soren's love interest.
History[]
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole[]
Otulissa welcomes Soren and Gylfie to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree and explains to them that training lasts several years for an owl to become a Guardian and that a Guardian has several functions. She is also seen after Allomere rescues Eglantine and another owlet. She tells Soren that before, she didn't believe his story of the Pure Ones, but she believed him after seeing the rescued owlets. During the Band's Guardian ceremony, Otulissa is seen smiling and giggling happily.
Description[]
Otulissa's colouration is typical of a Short-eared Owl. The markings around her eyes resemble dark eyeshadow. In the books, Otulissa was a Spotted Owl. It is speculated she was changed to a Short-eared Owl solely to make her appear more attractive, and to set her up as a love interest for the main character, Soren.
Trivia[]
- Otulissa seems to have been flirting in a way with Soren, such as blinking her eyes charmingly and giving him small smiles. Soren also appears to have a romantic interest in her.
- If Otulissa were to become Soren's mate, they would've been the second mixed species couple in the movie after Nyra and Metal Beak.
- Otulissa was voiced by Abbie Cornish, who also played Sweet Pea in Zack Snyder's action fantasy, Sucker Punch. Cornish and Snyder were working on the two films before they were released in 2010 and 2011.
- Abbie Cornish and Jim Sturgess also worked together in the 2017 science fiction disaster film Geostorm.
