They preferred the calm solitude that life in the woods offered as opposed to the busy life of a townsperson, and the relative safety of living like this. Her father worked as a merchant and so was away often, trading around the country, while her mother was a seamstress. Nadia eventually picked up the skills of both her parent's trades, learning how to make deals with people and how to make basically anything needed for the home that could be done with a needle and thread. Nadia grew to be shy and nervous around other people at first, but good-natured enough that she would make friends easily. She didn't spend much time in town, but she was known around as a kind, well-mannered girl. She was taken in a reaping that was happening during a visit into town with her father, when a Drakken who was collecting another girl decided that she was a better catch. [color=ed145b][b]Other:[/b][/color] Though her element is fire, it doesn't seem to reflect in her personality as much as it does others of her element. She is shy and contains her thoughts and emotions very well, she does not call attention to herself on purpose and excels at blending in, at least among Gems. She is kind and gentle towards others, but also very fragile, both mentally and physically- she's afraid to use her power around other people. If someone were to say that Fire Gems are like a campfire or a blazing torch, then Nadia is a lit candle on a calm night.

With nothing else to do whenever she got bored, she taught herself how to read. She soon fell in love with the fictions she found, mysteries and adventures all just waiting to be read, feelings and images expressed on paper. She spent as much time as possible in the library, and that's where she was when the Drakkens came for her, lost in a fantasy. She didn't fight being taken at all, but only made one request- that she be allowed to bring her favorite book with her. [color=808000][b]Other:[/b][/color] Onyx likes wordplay and writes poetry in her free time, her knowledge of books and fantasy making her very imaginative and childish when she wants to be. This fluidity of emotion and imagination makes it easy for her to come up with ideas and plans on the fly, and she's pretty good at lying too. She pictures herself as if the heroine of one of the novels she loves so much, and her confidence could be her downfall.

He's also a part of a group that is pretty much convinced that the Drakkens will eventually make war on their peaceful country, a cult of sorts. His home -where he lives with his wife and their only child, Nadia- is just one part of a vast network of underground, hidden pathways and safe places which the cult uses to get around unnoticed, and could use to evacuate whole cities if needed. Zane himself is a messenger and a fighter for the group, using his travels as a merchant as a way to get across the border into other countries (mostly Drakka) and obtain information. [color=A52A2A][b]Other:[/b][/color] Zane's personality is a little unpredictable, though he is very good at keeping up an act. He is good at manipulation and negotiating deals. He has the fighting ability of the average member of the cult, though his role is much more subterfuge. His family doesn't know anything about the cult at all. [/center] [/hider]
