Studying under her new master (a mysterious, sentient Cait Sith doll known as 'Cait') She is rapidly, and somewhat recklessly learning the ways of Black magic. She spends the better part of her days abroad, in secluded caves and groves for introspection and study alongside the odd doll. APPEARANCE Nix has very pale, pearl-white skin, which may be the result of her cross Raen/Xaela linage. Her Raven-black hair extends a fair way down her back, along with the characteristic white scales and horns of the Raen people. Her striking eyes are one of her most identifiable features. A deep black, skirted with rosey-pink limbal rings. PERSONALITY Playful. Serious. Odd. Nix is a true paradox. On one hand a free willed, care-free and happy go lucky woman who's just as happy to let the cards fall where they may as she is to form any real plan. And on the other, a careful and (sometimes) wise, sharp-minded person who won't let any detail escape her. She views things objectively, often finding humor in situations that others might see as hopeless or irritating, giggling to herself at how fate works or cracking poorly conceived jokes. LIKES Thaumaturgy. A no-brainer. It's her career and greatest talent. The Ocean. Spending time within earshot of the crashing waves calms and relaxes Nix. Tea. A habit she inherited from her beloved Sae-Sae. Performance. Nix has a great appreciation for stories, riddles, songs and dance. DISLIKES Harsh Language. Long Lectures. STRENGTHS Culinary Skill. She loves to cook, and is actually quite good at it. Magical Talent. Particularly with fire-based magic. Flinging flame is almost second nature to her. Optimistic.She's very rarely in a bad mood. WEAKNESSES Optimistic. Will sometimes fail to grasp how serious a situation is. Overconfident. Probably wouldn't think twice about throwing herself into mortal danger. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION - Almost always wears black. - Prefaces most people's names with 'Sai', a respectful form of address from her home. BACKSTORY Nix lived among an isolated island community until only recent years. Her parents where traveling aboard a trade ship that was struck by an immense storm, forcing them upon a series of uncharted and undocumented islands. Once recovering from the storm and the shipwreck, the crew found that they had discovered a paradise of plentiful food, fresh water and lovely weather. Though the weather was unstable, and the islands are hit frequently with severe, dangerous storms, the crew of the unlucky ship thrived and adapted to create the community that Nix would eventual know as her home. Her younger years were spent as any child would. Playing along the beaches and climbing trees with her childhood friend W'Saenna. Her time of relative freedom however was short. Shortly after her 8th birthday, Nix, while being inquisitive and as clumsy as she generally is, inadvertently set alight the tribe's storehouse with a spark from her own Aether. Though the fire was eventually contained, it certainly did enough damage to warrant punishment. It was decided that Nix would need guidance on her talent to prevent something like that from happening again, and was apprenticed under an old, debatably sane Hyur named Malthorne. Malthorne was a traveling Alchemist and Thaumaturge who had chanced to be aboard the trade ship when it made landfall on the islands. He had a dry wit and way of speaking that often left others confused, constantly telling tales and talking in riddles, as if every interaction was a game for him to enjoy. Nix learnt much while studying under Master Malthorne, though most of her days were now spent in her room, reading tome after tome on history, magical theory and language. This defined her life for a time, much of her teen years were spent learning what Malthorne could teach her. But the stability of her life did not last, her Mother fell ill during Nix's late teen years. Everything the tribes medics would try would see little to no improvement to her condition and she eventually passed after a 2-year battle with the mystery affliction. After this turning point, Nix's relationship with her father took down a rocky path, the two could often be heard or seen having loud disagreements. Her father enforced stricter and stricter curfews upon her, much to her dislike, in a desperate effort to shelter her. A short few years later, her wise old master Malthorne gave in to his old age, leaving Nix directionless. This, along with the fact her closest friend W'Saenna had also departed their island home for Eorzea gave way to the impulsive decision to stow away on a trading ship from Limsa Lominsa. RECENT HISTORY Upon her arrival in Eorzea, Nix sought out the hub for those that practice thaumaturgy, the guild within Ul'dah. Here she continued her lessons where those with her deceased master had left off. She was eager to refine her casting, as up to this point any magic she had attempted to cast had been dangerously uncontrollable. This became immediately apparent during a practical lesson within the guild, where Nix nearly killed her partner with a violent discharge of fire and lightning. The wound was serious and aid was immediately called in from a clinic in the Mist. Much to Nix's delight, the dispatched medic was W'saevia Eersteklas, Her childhood friend. After a happy reunion, Nix was quickly convinced to travel to the mist to stay with W'saenna, traveling by aetheryte to Ul'dah to continue her lessons. For a short few months the pair lived within the clinic, and it was during this time they began to realise the mutual attraction they bore for eachother, and the deep-seated love that had lain dormant for all of their innocent years. Since then the two have been inseparable quickly moving on together when the clinic employment fell through, joining the large organization known as 'The Triumvirate' together. By this time in her life, Nix has easily learned all she could from the masters within the guild of Ul'dah, and began seeking ways to expand on what she already knew. She studied independently on the Black mages of the past and took a good deal of interest in this form magic, along with the void and it's inhabitants. However she was quickly convinced against diving into this knowledge alone and was eventually accepted by Cait, The sentient and mysterious Cait-Sith doll who accompanies W'Saevia, as a pupil. Her time with Triumvirate, was also unfortunately short lived. A dark, stormy night, the appearance of a mysterious stranger, and the attempted murder of her beloved culminated in a fire that destroyed the immense manor, and her it seemed. For the past year she and W'saevia have been in hiding, Traveling under the alias' Via White, and Mora Black. Covertly rebuilding their strength until they are able to repay the stranger that very nearly took their lives.

Nix would often find herself watching the Miqo'te from a distance, hiding behind trees or stones as Sae went about her business, and following her as she explored the island. Sae-Sae grew very important to Nix, even if she didn't realize it, and the time she spent playing with her is easily her fondest memory of her island home. Sae would not be on the island forever however, and soon took out on her own for Eorzea. Nix was left feeling hollow. It was only a matter of time before she followed. It was in Ul'dah that they next met. Nix had been training at the thaumaturges guild, a way to fill the gap of her master, and had accidentally wounded a sparring partner during an exercise.
