121 lbs

5’ 9”

Black transitioning into crimson

Long and flowing

Red

Sunkissed

Lithe and athletic

White Grimm-like marking over left eye

Brushing hair behind her ear, sleeping while standing, talking to herself. Slightly militaristic in her speech pattern.

Overcoming the fear of her Semblance and the drawbacks, seeking to expand her abilities outside of her Semblance and Aura limitations.

Afraid of her own strength and power. Distant from her peers, cold to anyone that tries approaching her.

Distrust of anyone that isn’t Mistralian, raised on the prejudices the Guild shared inwardly. General fear of interaction as she was often called a ‘freak.’

Agile and sneaky, excellent scouting and analytical abilities. Excels at hand-to-hand combat of multiple disciplines

Playing live action military simulation games, drawing, tending to rock gardens.

Quiet, reserved, and distant. Does not support social interaction in any capacity, keeping to herself when possible and keeping chatter to a minimum when not. Inwardly, caring for those she considers friends; would sacrifice herself in a moment if it meant saving the life of a loved-one.

Loyal

Huntress-in-training.

Strawberries

Leather-bound notebook filled with her mothers’ drawings.

Trained by a local Huntsman Guild in the ways of combat from the age of 10.

Raised on the very edges of town by a single mother, Nix tried her best to ignore the fact they were struggling. Not poor, but not rich, either. Just on the very edge of not having enough to eat.

An only child, Nix explored quite a bit in the nearby forest. She formed friendships with the local kids, playing hide-and-seek among the trees, practicing their ‘fighting’ with random sticks, alternating between being Grimm and Huntsman. It was all in good fun - no one was ever hurt, and they went home at sunset per their parents’ request.

Being on a fringe town, night brought fear of what lurked in the very same woods. Fear wrought despair, despair welcomed Grimm. Attacks weren’t very common, and when attacks occurred, they were swiftly dealt with. But one night, Nix’s 10th birthday, was different.

The Grimm attacked before they were ready, the only on-guard Huntsman drunk off his tits at the small family-run tavern. Houses were broken into by hungry Beowolves, trampled by angry Ursa seeking a meal.

It was over as quickly as it had started, her home a pile of broken rubble and bodies. Among the 17 victims...her mother. Nix, though, was unscathed. Seemingly ignored by monsters that were known to kill indiscriminately. So why had she been spared?

It was a question that would burn at her for a year, longer, as the Guild descended on the town in an effort to rebuild. Nix was taken in, as a kind gesture. She had no one, and she spent 9 years of her life acting as the Guild's mascot, of sorts. Her jobs were basic busy work - clean, cook, the like. What free time Nix had was spent in the tutelage of a skilled Huntress, learning the ways of combat, stealth, and Grimm. It was with her guidance did Nix awaken her Aura, and with it, her Semblance. That same Huntress encouraged Nix to seek an education with Beacon, not Haven Academy, for reasons that are still unclear.

Mid [Human] Very High [Grimm Cloak]

Limited reserves

Low

Talented and quick-thinking, able to analyze and react to threats as soon as they’re evident. However, given her insomnia...

Black combat knives with chains attached to the handles, leading to spools on either hip where the blades and chains stay when not in use.

Midnight Prison

Combat knives

1911 handguns

The primary use is reach; Nix uses the weight of the knives to anchor foes, attack from a distance, and uses the chains to block off paths if used correctly. When in handgun form, Nix uses the shots to target weak spots - eyes, organs, and so on. If neither form is viable, she wraps the chains over her arms and opts to fight close-up, hand-to-hand. Her ideal form is savate and she’s familiar with a number of grappling techniques.

Gravity Dust imbued in the chains of Midnight Prison. Adds weight and distance to her strikes, plus trapping and tethering of targets.

Know Thy Enemy

Flawlessly recreating the abilities and skills of Grimm she’s defeated, and using them effectively as the Grimm she's copying. Current abilities include Full Beowulf and Full Ursa cloak, though Nix rarely utilizes the full power. In order to learn new abilities, Nix needs to land the killing blow. Being near a Grimm as it's defeated does not "transmit" the monster's abilities.

Evoker/Boost

Spectral red Grimm cloak that evolves as her adrenaline, physical injuries, and anger increase.

Red

Self

The longer Nix stays cloaked, the harder it is for her to fight back for control. Additionally, the Semblance can stay active even if her Aura is depleted, but it instead feeds directly on her life force and permanently reduces her maximum Aura pool, provided she survives.
