strange bird

strange bird
An unusual person, especially an individual with an idiosyncratic personality or peculiar behavioral characteristics.

Jena Janovy is a strange bird—a college basketball player who is a) female and b) short (5 feet 3 inches) and, perhaps oddest of all, lets neither of those things dampen her rabid enthusiasm for the game.
