Having experienced many tragedies and bad scenarios, have made her quite intelligent, as well as street wise. Although, she wants a normal life as other children have, her childhood has left deep wounds. Nykia lives with many fears and phobia's. Her biggest fear and obstacle is the fear of being abandoned maintaining the lonely life she has struggled through her entire life. Despite these many complex's, the young child, still is positive and hopeful, only wanting to have a normal family.
History:
Being the only child born to a traveling merchant couple, Nykia was not provided with nurturing, attentive parents. She had spent the first two years of her life in wagons, traveling across all the realms and to the outer regions constantly. The trips were usually long and treacherous, her parents meeting many perils and dangerous situations almost daily. She was left most the time in the wagon as her parents conducted their business. In her second year on a routine trip to the outer realms, her family was ambushed by a band of slave traders. The ruthless, evil men slaughtered the caravan with no shame and enslaved the convoys children. Being too young to know what was expected of her, or having any understanding of her parents brutal death, Nykia became the subject of constant verbal, mental, and physical abuse. She soon understood two things fear and loneliness. At the end of her 10th year, upon traveling with the slavers after they had been run out of their home by the King of the land, they were confronted by an army of men who wished to rid their lands of such terrible men. A war had broken out and chaos and confusion surrounded the young girl. Some of the other slaves had seen their oppurtunity for freedom and immediately began to flee into the forest. Nykia, however, had been abused so much she did not dare run, convinced she would be caught and beaten again. The war lasted for 3 days, Nykia clung to the wheel of a wagon, with no food or water. When the men of the town had killed all the slavers they journeyed back to their homes, leaving Nykia amongst the aftermath of the great battle.Now being alone and quite traumatized, she ventured into the forest. Eating berries and leaves for two weeks and very dehydrated, her body had given out on her.
Her life being so tragic, had finally been smiled upon by the gods. As soon as she had collapsed, a man and woman, named Shade and Weary Waters had found Nykia near close to death. Seeing this the young couple immediately came to her aid and had decided they would adopt her and make her their own daughter. She was brought to the Mystic Shadows Inn, and given a family. This being all foreign to her was a shock at first but soon she adapted to the love and care she was given. Still, though carrying the trauma and wounds she had been exposed too, Nykia would soon learn her parents were very busy and unable to be with her as much as they wanted. Their love never lessening yet their presence not consistent. Knowing loneliness and fear well, the young girl would venture to pubs, or places where large groups of people would congregate. This would control her fear some but on occasion had been known to land her in the wrong place at the wrong time. One early morning she had wandered into the Wk Pub and met a man named Demetine Hellcloud. The man was a wise and caring man. He noticed the child who was the niece of his friend Tempest Waters. He and the child made a strong bond, Demetine promised the child that no matter what he would ensure her safety and care. His wife, Pashen Hellcloud, had met Nykia and immediately fell in love with her. Demetine knew his wife wanted to adopt the child, but knew she had parents who do love her, but are unable to be with her as much as she needed. He took it upon himself to approach and ask her father, Shade, if it would be alright if, when he was away, would it be alright if he and his wife could take care of Nykia in his absence. Shade, loving his daughter agreed and thanked Demetine. As time progressed it would be the decision of Weary Waters, to allow the Hellclouds to adopt her daughter, for reasons unspecified. This would be an emotional and tremendous blessing to both the Hellcloud couple and and young Nykia. Through tears of happiness and embraces of love and support, the troubled little girl would finally become the daughter of a family whom not only had time for her, but would give her constant attention and love to help heal the wounds that time had bestowed upon her. Like a fairytale young Nykia would now be known has Princess Nykia Hellcloud, daughter to King Demetine and Queen Pashen of the Labyrinth Of Dreaming Hearts.
Nykia loved her new family and opened her heart up to them. She was still somewhat shy but grew out of that quickly seeing the many people of the realm come to her new home to visit her parents. She stayed by her mothers side and learned many things about what it meant to be a King and Queen of the land. Since no adult had any time for the young child, she didn't know how to read or write but Pashen took care of that. In no time at all, Pashen had taught her all that she needed to know. Her mother was a great teacher as well as being a Queen. Nykia's parents were also loved by many and feared by a few and Nykia was warned not to travel too far from home but that just wasn't in Nykia's blood. She was born on the roads and moving about was all she knew.
Demetine saw that she would not listen and that she would still wander so he went to the different places where Nykia could be found and tried to put fear in the hearts in those who might try to harm her, but there was something he didn't know about his young daughter. She was named Precious One by strangers and could melt the hearts of some of the meanest warriors and make them do things they hadn't thought of doing in a long time. A smile- a simple smile would come to their faces and laughter would fill the rooms. No matter where someone went, thew would find drawings by Nykia on the walls of the different pubs until a friend of Nykia's told her that the grownups were just being nice and that her drawings were never that good. She changed that day, even though he hurt her feelings one good thing did come from that, she learned to play the flute and that was something he could not put her down about was her music a sound that was met for heaven.
Nykia's parent loved each other dearly and had two other children after Nykia was made one with her parents. They took some of her parent's time but Nykia loved her lil brother Stealth and she would keep him safe or so she thought but really he was the one to keep her safe since his powers were stronger then Nykia from the begining. Nykia was a much happier child having the world laid at her feet then one day everything changed. Her father went on a journey and was gone for a very long time and there was a time when Nykia thought he would never return. Though her mother assured her that he would return home soon Pashen had her doubts but couldn't let her children know this, she had to be strong to keep the family and the people of the land together and she did this well. The people loved her and respected her and things did go well untill one day. Dememtine did return but something was different about him. Oh he had the same looks and manners about him but it seems he had went through many changes and Pashen couldn't put her finger on it but something was missing. Her father tried to take his place at the head of the kingdom but things didn't go well and people started to turn on him. He then decided to give up his throne and would leave everything to Nykia once she turned the right age to take over. Nykia didn't really understand but she agreed with her father that one day she would rebuild the land from new and that seems to make her happy again. Nykia's world came to a crashing halt when she woke up one day to find her parents dead and her little brothers missing and she could not find her grampa, SilverWolf or uncle London she didn't know what to do so she ran over the realms to let all her friends know and the people who knew of her parents. Nykia was alone once again living in the castle. Many of the grown ups she knew came to her and wanted to take her in and she did sleep over at the different friends she had. Then the day came where different families wanted to adopt her but she knew she still had family around. She still had her Grandfather SilverWolf so she refused. She never seen her grampa often so she once again wandered over the lands staying with one friend then another untill one day a very nice lady invited to take her home and feed her and make her new clothes. Nykia did agree this time. This nice lady had a name and that was Rosa Draven. Nykia still wander during the day time but seemed to make her way back to the Dravens to be with Rosa at night. Now she is a Draven also and has her own room at the Draven castle and she keeps a few of her pets there to but the rest stays at the castle Demetine built for her where they will always be safe. Since her life has changed she still longs for her parents but knows they will never return, but maybe..just maybe she will find her little brothers one day. Until then, she's made a new life once again, but one thing thats happened to her. She will never be the same again.
