History/Timeline

Born into a small tribe deep in the forests of Gridania, Nyx grew up in relative solitude and quiet. She was content to stay within the peace of the forest with her family but awhile back her brother went missing. Miqo'te males are often secretive and come and go as they please but her brother hasn't been back to the tribe in nearly a year. Far too long to stay away and not at all like him. Seeing how agitated and upset with worry her mother and the family elders became with each passing day, as the eldest among her siblings Nyx took it upon herself to leave the safety of the tribe and find out what had become of her brother, Tojah'a.

Since that time she has been able to trace her brother back to Limsa Lominsa and stumbled upon his involvement with the Rogue's Guild. From there the trail has gone cold, for while the leader of the guild freely admits Tojah'a was one of them, he went missing and the guild hasn't been able to turn up any leads.

Appearance

Nyx has the typical build of most female Keepers, lithe and slender. She carries herself with an easy, almost feline grace that comes naturally to the Miqo'te. What she lacks in bulk, she more than makes up for in speed and agility out in the field.

Reticent and reserved, she's more accustomed to observing rather than being observed and as such her thoughts and emotions don't come across much in her facial expressions. Her outward reactions are subtle. She's more apt to twitch her tail at something she finds amusing than she is to crack a smile.

Personality

Aloof and tight-lipped, most would say. She's somewhat of a loner by nature and doesn't feel the need to socialize the way many people do, chatting and catching up over an ale. Which isn't to say she doesn't form bonds with people, but she tends to put her energy into a handful of quality friendships rather than waste time in idle small talk with a plethora of acquaintances.

Nyx is a very 'take it or leave it' kind of person. She lacks traditional charm and social graces and while far from being out and out rude, she has a very zen-like attitude to everything. She believes in doing one's best and never minding the results; an outlook that has a tendency to confound people at times. To her it's simple; if things work out, it's very nice. If, in spite of everything, they do not, it's very nice. In her opinion you can laugh or you can cry, it doesn't matter what you do but she personally would prefer to laugh. And meanwhile continue to do her best. For no reason at all. She doesn't attach a purpose to it.

Combat

When pressed into combat, Nyx suddenly stops being so easy to overlook. She's deadly with a set of daggers, her attacks swift and acrobatic as she lets her Miqo'te reflexes take over. She's cool to the point of detached, rarely letting a fight become personal for her.
