Nyx

Nyx - full name Nyx is a mage who once grew so overwhelmed by her own power, she cast a forbidden spell, inflicting unspeakable loss in Fire Emblem: Fates. She is short, fair skinned, and flat chested with long black hair and red eyes. She has a facial mark on her forehead. Her attire is a black bikini that has a mesh navel covering, black and blue stockings, black armlets and blue open-toed shoes. Her accessories include a pink mesh veil around her mouth, a black with gold trim cape, and a golden circlet.

Background

Nyx was born to a family of talented mages in Nohr. She was a prodigy in Dark magic arts, as was the rest of her family, but quickly became too powerful. As a result, she started testing her abilities on people for fun, killing many innocent civilians. She wove a spell so dark and powerful, its magic inflicted an unbreakable curse, causing her to be unable to age. It is suggested that this curse may have been intentionally, albeit subconsciously, self-inflicted, in an act of her conscience to stop herself. In her support conversations with Xander, she reveals that she quickly became suicidal and depressed after she was cursed. She hid herself away from the world, seeing no possible future for herself. However, Nyx decided that she wanted to live in order to atone for her crimes, and has since strived to overcome her past. Though she does not expect the curse to dispel, she seeks The Mirror of Truth, the relic that reflects a person's true appearance, in hopes of seeing her adult body. Living a reclusive life near the border of Hoshido and even declined invitations to the royal palace from King Garon himself, she eventually got caught up in the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido. Nyx's first appearance is where she stumbles into the Sevenfold Sanctuary in an attempt to hide from the masses. Corrin finds her and asks her if she needs help, which she refuses. Nyx decides to join the army, after noticing Corrin's determination at such a young age and believing that they may be able to understand her.

Personality

A pessimistic individual by nature, Nyx views life rather gloomily. This is not without a cause, however; as earlier mentioned, this is owing to her framing her entire life around an innate desire to atone for her crimes of killing innocent people. This desire is especially evident whenever she participates in battles, where the things she says revolve around her constantly reminding herself that her every action is part of her "punishment". It is because of her past that eventually her demeanor became cold, serious and pessimistic. And as a result, Nyx transformed into a social recluse, choosing to isolate herself from society, only interacting with others when she deems it necessary for her to do so or when she is approached by other members of the army. However, this does not mean that Nyx is deprived of her other emotions as well, as she is still capable of showing kindness and humor and is able to fall in love with others. Despite her youthful appearance, Nyx has, in fact, an intellect and wisdom belonging to a mature woman, even stating that she is far older than Corrin when first introduced, which reflects on her tastes, since she is very fond of reading books, particularly romance novels, and is said to be the most understanding of women out of everyone in the army. Nyx loves Ben Wa Balls, but she will not admit that unless you are her significant other.
