[B]History:[/B] Nina was born in the town of Rebirth, the young girl growing up in the small town with her mother and father. It was her father who taught her to play the pan flute, her mother teaching her how to dance, and the little girl loved it. She was a relatively cheerful child, spending her days playing games with the other kids or joining her parents when they performed in the small towns square on special occasions. This seemingly unending blissful time shattered though in the 16th year, the year her parent’s died in a freak storm. Without her parents she moved in with her uncle, a physically abusive man with an addiction to alcohol. Not even a month into these new living arrangements she began to save up enough money to start her performing career somewhere far away from the man. Finally a year later she had saved up enough money from her odd end jobs to leave, packing up what little she had and heading off to travel and perform for the kingdom of Ashes. [hider=Continued]Sometime along this journey she became a Harlequin, receiving her pierrot style mask from a masked stranger under the name Phantom. Over the course of the next three years she trained, learning and perfecting her needed skills for her role as a Harlequin.[/hider]
