Name: Nylia (Nye-le-ah)
Nickname: Ny, Lia (le-ah), Lee
Age: 23
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Unknown
Weyr: Nabol
Rider Rank: N/A
Previous Rank/Craft: Brothel worker/Mercenary/others
Physical Description: Nylia is roughly 5'4, thin with hourglass shape and roughly a C sized chest. In essence, curvy. Her hair is naturally ashy blonde which she dyes black towards the bottom of her hair. Her eyes are hazel blue-gray, which at times can appear anywhere from dark blue to almost a near violety color depending on her mood. **See reference img above**

Personality: Nylia is not above or afraid to use someone she sees to her own advantage, by any means necessary. In fact, she will lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, etc. to get or do whatever it is she needs to do. She tends to think along the lines of, how does this relationship benefit me both now and in the long run, how can this action be beneficial, etc. Because she is constantly thinking of what will best suit her own needs and changing what she does accordingly, it is not often that she agree's to do any given thing. This extends not only to her business relationships but her personal relationships as well. Nylia up until this point has never been in a relationship with anyone as a result of her noncommittal nature, but that doesn't mean that she can't commit in a relationship if the opportunity arose--it may be a struggle for her though. When wronged, or perceived to have been wronged, Nylia is vengeful and vindictive. It is not wise to get on her bad side because there is a very high probability that something awful is going to happen to you, someone you love, etc. There are no holds barred and it is very rare that she will spare anyone--even children. Though, both her and Piketh draw the line to what extent something happens to them. Generally children are used as bait or bargaining tools.

Innately Nylia is someone who is very meticulous and thorough in whatever it is she does and therefore when she does something it is usually never by mistake. Despite her very obvious nefarious nature, she is actually very empathetic and more often than not will cry herself to sleep because of what she's had to do--unless someone has screwed her over to the point that her vindictive/vengeful nature arose--and does feel regret. There isn't a moment that goes by that Nylia doesn't hate herself and the only thing that keeps her going is her family and Piketh. Piketh makes everything better and he's what keeps her hope alive. Nylia has been the breadwinner in her home for so long and has had to depend mostly on herself--until Piketh came along--that she is very self-reliant and doesn't often depend on others.

Positive Trait List Scrupulous, Empathetic, Self-reliant
Negative Trait List Vindictive, Scheming/Cunning/Manipulative/Opportunistic, Noncommittal

History: Since the moment Nylia was born she was destined to have a hard life fought with far more struggles than any one person should have to endure. From a young age she has had to work very difficult and at times demeaning jobs just so that her family could have a meal a couple times that week. In fact, there aren't many jobs she hasn't done, but one she did the longest before Piketh was working in a brothel. This was a job she loathed with every fiber of her being and just when she was about to give up on ever being more she impressed with Piketh by pure chance. Since her impression Nylia has been more of a mercenary for the local thugs of Nabol or anyone else who may have use for her skills. As she has worked so many odd jobs and is willing to do whatever is necessary it isn't hard for her to find work that most wouldn't be able to stomach. Nylia is only able to do what she does so that her siblings are able to have a bit of a steadier life than she has/did.

Her family is comprised of her father, five younger brothers, two younger sisters and a string of women her father brings in often. Every two or so years one of these women will show up on their doorstep with a babe that Nylia then has to take care of as her father refuses to do anything but drink and spend time with women. The only full siblings she has are her twin brothers Nyak and Nukl, the other's are half and Nylia suspects that her youngest sister isn't related to them at all. Considering the women her father hangs out with, it wouldn't surprise her but she isn't going to turn any child away claiming to be one of Kallau's kids.

Other: Piketh and Nylia seem as though they wouldn't be a match at all, however, from the moment Nylia touched Piketh's shell he knew she was the one for him. While Piketh quite literally keeps Nylia's hope in herself, life, and other's in tact, she in return gives him the structure and dependability that he needs. As a pair, they help each other with their weaknesses and lend their strength to one another. In general Piketh doesn't have a problem with Nylia's current lifestyle or choices, and does help her when he can, but he believes that there is more to her than meets the eye if only she was given the chance to prove herself. He wouldn't be opposed to staying in Nabol, either as her connection to her family is the driving force behind everything she is and was.

DRAGON
Name: Piketh
Age: 3 1/2
Color: Blue
Size: 28'
Physical Description: Piketh is a very slim dragon who was definitely made for agility and endurance. His frame is built long and agile, not one for carrying massive loads or using his body as a weapon.

Personality: Piketh is incredibly patient and can wait years for whatever it is he desires to happen. He is also incredibly hopeful, always seeing the glass half-full and that just around the corner great things are going to happen. Because of his hopeful almost idillic nature, he tends to be rather airy and unconcerned with whatever is going on around him. Almost willfully-ignorant of everything else but Nylia. He is very willful in fact, and doesn't do anything by mistake nor does he do things he doesn't want to do. Piketh does not take kindly to criticism and finds it hard to deal with negativity--to the point that he will become lethargic and depressed without intervention.

Pros: Hopeful, Charming, Patient
Cons: Sensitive, Airy, Willful

Q&A


What would you like to see happen with Nylia and Piketh? Hard to say. Either she is going to rise in the ranks of Nabol or some other nefarious hold, or she's going to have to be brought to High Reaches or Western to be something better.

If Nylia hates who she's become, why doesn't she leave? Sometimes when you've got other people depending on you it's not easy to just abandon them.
Despite her somewhat chaotic nature, there is good in Nylia and her absolute devotion to her family despite everything is a testament to it. In fact, it's one of the things that drew Piketh to her and while he wishes at times she would abandon them to be the person he knows she could be, he wouldn't force her to.

What kind of job would Nylia have if she was wasn't in Nabol? Again, hard to say. I would think that she would dancer, teacher, pediatric healer or some other profession that draws on her intelligence and deep down compassionate side. I guess it would depend on what happens to her in the future.

I think Nylia may need some more critiques, but maybe I'm wrong.
