Nel Nehru
Nel Nehru ネル ネール About
Height: 5'4" / 131 cm Body: On the taller side compared to most Au Ra women. Nel is not particularly curvy, sporting an almost boyish figure; she is athletic and healthy, but willowy and lithe at rest. Her skin is a stark white, but exposure to direct sunlight seems to pose no more than an annoyance at worst. Her tail is of average length, and sturdy. Hair: Black, straight. Eyes: Gray. Speech & Mannerisms: Nel's accent-- or lack thereof-- is vague and unplaceable. She is fluent in the common tongue, several Xaelic dialects (including non-verbal), as well as common Doman; no matter the language, however, she comes across as unmistakably... foreign. Her manner of speaking comes across as blunt at face value, but is usually woven with underlying messages. She is generally aloof but seldom malicious. Scars & Markings: Nel has a symmetrical design tattooed across her cheeks. If asked, she claims it has no meaning. Notable Clothing: Nel wears an eclectic assortment of clothing, usually of Eastern origin and often hand-embellished. She is a modest dresser who prefers loose clothing, long skirts and sleeves.
The woman now known as Nel Nehru has lived through many names and identities in her life, beginning on the Azim Steppe's Sea of Blades. The daughter of two Moks Xaela, she was raised first as a Dalamiq, then Adarkim; Bayaqud, then Borlaaq, then Kagon. When the woman finally tired of migrating from tribe to tribe, name to name, story to story, she fled the plains of Othard for its further-Eastern valleys. Settling in Yanxia, Nel joined a small community of storyless exiles, outsiders and runaways. She learned many things from this mixed bag of companions-- from writing, to fishing, to making wine-- but grew especially close to an elderly Doman woman, who became a sort of maternal figure. When her 'mother' died of age, Nel resumed her former Kagon identity and set forward once more, this time across the seas to the West. Not much is known what happened afterwards; once again, the Kagon girl disappeared. Once again, a strange Auri girl began to skulk along Eorzean streets, her motives unknown, her identity unclear. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
■ "She said she isn't from any tribe. Aren't they all from tribes?"
■ "That's the lass what's been sprinting down the cobbles every morn-- fast as lightning, she is."
■ "That's an impressive staff she totes about, but doesn't seem like any mage to me."
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
■ "Didn't she work for some wealthy merchant, some time ago?"
■ "I could swear she was an almoner-- some kind of nun. What changed?"

■ "A snake-- she stole her way through half the Steppe before fleeing to Doma."
■ "We of the Kagon saw through the witch's disguise, and cast her out. Those tainted by the ignorant Sun may not dwell in Nhaama's domain."
■ "...if you see someone by this description, be warned."
