[b][color=mediumpurple]Description:[/color][/b]
Nyxia stands 5 feet 7 inches with a slender build. She wears [url=http://i.imgur.com/4kveiRl.jpg]clothes[/url] exactly like what Oerba Yun Fang's but in shades of black, purple and green. Being in a tribe closely related to the Yun tribe, it is not strange that their choice of clothes are similar, if not identical. What sets her apart from the rest of her tribe is her hair and eye color. While all of the Xin tribe has light colored hair (blonde to light brown) and dark brown eyes, Nyxia has purple hair she wears mostly in a braid down her back (reaches mid back in a braid, reaches waist length when worn out of a braid) and blue eyes. 

As a child, her mother was fond of putting flowers in her hair and placing vibrant jewels around her neck to contrast with and emphasize the strange color of her hair. As a result, she grew up being fond of trinkets. She wears several necklaces on her neck, a nose ring and a circlet of crystal buds on her head.

[b][color=mediumpurple]Backstory:[/color][/b]
Nyxia comes from a long line of healers and was training to be one just before the start of the story. She noticed that her father, a particularly skilled healer in the tribe, would constantly leave the village in constant search of something he refused to talk about. Unknown to Nyxia, her father had been branded a l'Cie by Anima, the fal'Cie Oerba looks to as their village patron to protect them from hostile wildlife. Curious to where her father disappears to, she planned on following him but was found out and stopped by her mother. When asked about it, older woman remained tightlipped.

On a particularly bright and sunny day, Nyxia was practicing with her blades in the field when a monstrous Cieth lumbered into Oerba, successfully killing a handful of people and leaving more injured. Hearing the screams of her people, Nyxia hurried back to the village and angaged the monster. With the help of the other warriors, they eventually managed to bring down the monster. The purple haired girl, exhausted but still willing to help out, turned her attention to the injured. She was horrified to see familiar people and close friends dead but determined not to let the grief overwhelm her, she focused on healing the wounded. One of the injured was her mother. No matter how hard Nyxia tried to heal her, the older woman's injuries were just too severe that she soon refused her daughter's help, insisting she use her powers on people who had a better chance at surviving. 

Overcame with grief, Nyxia held her dying mother in her arms. The older woman reached up and laid a hand on her cheek, praising her for what she had become and what she had achieved. Before she succumbed to death, she told her daughter that the Cieth that had attacked the village was in fact her father, a branded l'Cie who had failed to fulfill his focus.

The revelation put Nyxia in shock that she stayed frozen on the spot, her dead mother cradled in her arms. Had she been able to help out with the injured, a lot more could have survived. But she remained rooted where she was, her mind numb and not fully able to wrap itself around the fact that the monster that had killed and injured so many and the same monster that she had dealt the fatal blow to was her father. 

After the events of that day, Nyxia became withdrawn, her mind twisting her views on herself, making her believe that she is capable only of bringing death and destruction just like the Cieth she still refused to think of as her father. Refusing to continue on with her training and loathing the fal'Cie she once paid homage to, she set to wander the world to try to make sense of what happened and perhaps to find herself. She left the village and wandered around Pulse and eventually found herself caught up in the war between Cocoon and Pulse.

[b][color=mediumpurple]Personality:[/color][/b]
Nyxia is a quiet individual who prefers to be by herself most times, quietly observing those around her. It's not that she has no social abilities -- she used to be a friendly, cheerful girl -- but due to her past, she tries to keep away from most in the fear of ending up hurting them. While she has healing capabilities, she is reluctant to use them as she is convinced that she can do more harm than good.

[URL=http://i.imgur.com/WbBflxF.jpg]Chained blades[/url]: the chain connecting the two blades is 1 meter in length and wraps around Nyxia's waist when not in use, the blades secured in their scabbards strapped on both side of her hips. When in battle, she can use her blades for close combat as well as long range with the help of the chain.
