With the IC posting, I am aware you said it was about awakenings. Is it the same as the one in the character sheet, or is it context around how they ended up at the academy?
"perceives things hidden beyond ordinary sight and instinctively senses places where reality, fate, and the supernatural overlap."
I would imagine for Asteria, she would instantly see something for what it is. Especially as she is a Demigod (stronger bloodline), I imagine when it comes to gifts, hers would be measurably stronger anyway.
I do have a question, are Nimue's origins really obvious with the references, or just enough mystery so it requires a little deduction.
@Silly Agreed - amazing! I was right to be excited about seeing your character sheet~
I realised half-way through that Asteria is essentially Nimie's foil and a hard counter to her abilities. Which I thought could potentially make a very interesting dynamic.

Appearance:
Nimue has a curated appearance, and somehow, she looks familiar the moment you see her. Her platinum hair glows like moonlight, and her eyes are a clear and blue, like running water. She moves like a performer, every gesture practiced, and her smile just a touch too perfect. It is as if her features seem to reflect something from deep within you. Perhaps it's the face you’ve always wanted to see.
Personality Summary:
Outwardly, Nimue is confident in a way that feels almost grand, thriving in the spotlight of her streams. Yet, this confidence can sometimes unintentionally exclude those around her, as her performative charm takes centre stage. On camera, she’s quick with a quip, generous with her time, and seems to instinctively know exactly what people want to hear.
Beneath the persona, she is lonely and deeply uncertain. She struggles with the weight of others’ expectations, craving genuine connection but fearing the moment someone sees the real her. What if they don’t like what they find? She rarely lets anyone see her unfiltered self, except in fleeting, vulnerable moments.
Divine Heritage
Unclear heritage. Two potential divine candidates from the Greek Pantheon. An identified demigod ancestor.
Bloodline Strength
□ Dormant Bloodline
Divine Mark
□ Uncanny Familiarity.
Nimue’s appearance comes across as familiar and a fleeting resemblance to someone you’ve met before. An old childhood friend, distant relation, a stranger that once caught your eye. This mark can be a curse.
"Hey… you look just like my cousin from out of town." "No, she’s definitely the girl from that concert last year!" "Wait… ain’t you Paul’s little sister? Yeah, I ain’t touching that. Paul’d kill me."
Nimue may present to a government scanner as multiple facial recognition hits, but very rarely the same person twice.
Reality is a reflection of the mind. This gift forces someone to face the reality of their mind. Their true self, their greatest desire, their greatest fear. Through mirrors, screens, or water, she bends reflections to reveal what lies beneath the surface of the mind.

Awakening Event
Nimue sits in her boathouse, performing the “ASMR Reflection” trend on stream. The flickering light casting soft shadows on the surroundings as she sits before a rococo-styled vintage mirror as her phone is perched on a table.
"When you whisper to your reflection tonight… what will you see?"
She leaned close toward the mirror as she posed, as if to whisper to the reflection to the other side. The reflection naturally mimicked her movements perfectly, or did it?

Nimue smirked, and rolled her eyes at the chat as her mods start banning trolls. She flipped her hair and leaned closer to the mirror, her voice dropped to a playful whisper.
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall… who’s the fairest of them all?"
The reflection in the mirror blew a kiss, then winked at the camera. Nimue froze as the chat exploded.

Nimue’s eyes widen as her reflection steps out of the mirror, and appeared as a silhouette of the viewer themselves. It then slowly moved toward the camera. The chat continues to explode as users spam in real-time panic as the figure leans closer toward the phone camera.

The viewers' reflection pressed its hand against the screen, the feed distorting into static as Nimue finally acted, and knocked over her phone. The camera fell on the floor, the back facing upwards to show an empty mirror frame. The screen cut to black.

Relationships
Family
Éloise (Nan): Nan was once the heart of the Marquette household, sharp-witted, lively, and full of stories. Now, she spends hours in her rocking chair, her gaze drifting aimlessly, as if lost in the distance. She greets her family warmly, but her attention fades mid-conversation, leaving her unaware of her surroundings. Often forgetful and unable to keep track of current events, she is cared for by her family in these heartbreaking later years.
Daniel (Father): Daniel is a fisherman through and through, the head of the family business. He spends so much time on Lake Superior that the family jokes if the lake had a bed, he’d sleep in it. His love for his children is quiet and hard to express, but he does all he can to provide for them.
Claire (Mother): Claire is the backbone of the family, a nurse who keeps the household running and is always "on shift." She dismisses the idea of divine powers as teenage dramatics, insisting it’s just a phase. Her focus is on caring for Nan and managing the home, leaving little room for what she can’t explain. She acts as if ignoring the strange things will make them go away.
Lucas (Brother): Lucas is the family joker, always quick with a laugh and a teasing remark. He finds the idea of Nimue having powers hilarious and doesn’t believe in them, often making dumb requests to mock her. He’s proud of his growing role in the family fishing business, taking on more responsibility and proving himself to their father.
Allies
Nimbys (pronounced Nim-bees): The Nimbys are Nimue’s devoted online following, a community of fans who treat her streams like regular rituals. Their parasocial relationship with her borders as an obsession, defending her fiercely in chat, dissecting her every word, and even sending gifts to her. They seem to believe in her completely, even when she doesn’t believe in herself, and their loyalty appears unshakeable. Though Nimue feels that beneath it all, they only love the persona and the performance.

Personal Motivations
□ Learn the truth about the gods.
This goal is about uncovering the truth of her own identity, her place in the world, and the legacy of the bloodline that has left her feeling at odds with everything around her.
Fears
□ Abandonment □ Exposure
Nimue has spent her life performing for others. She has the idea that if the world sees the real her, her fans, family, or even her own reflection might leave her is terrifying.
Equipment
Her Phone: Her lifeline to the world, she couldn’t live without it. It’s how she connects with her fans and communicates with all she knows.
Cracked Hand Mirror: An old family heirloom from Nan, its edge lined with a single crack. The frame is Rococo-style, worn smooth from years of use.
Pressed White Flower: Delicate and pale with a golden centre, Nimue’s favourite. She keeps it tucked beneath her transparent phone case, proudly visible on the back.

I am about 2/3rds through. I just need to do the relationships and onwards. I haven't thought about friends/rivals/etc yet for her, unless that is a more dynamic/ reflecting in-game state thing.
@Silly I'm a huge King Arthurian fan, so very excited! :D
It is not King Arthir related! But, surprised you knew where that name was from. May have been making an obscure barely tangentable reference to something.
I have spent far too long trying to find a suitable picture (and still not finished), but I have mentally refined the character concepts, so I just need to go and write it all up at some point soon. Then you will all get to 'see' Nimue!
