Appearance: Nix is a tall and well built girl, though slim since she tends to offer her food to others before her. She stands about 5'10 and has freckles over her arms and nose, with a pair of long dark scars on both her fore arms. She has long red hair that comes down to her waist that she ties away with a dark purple ribbon most of the time and bright green eyes. As for clothes, she doesnt have much choice but she will be as picky as one can at the end of the world with clothes. She doesnt want skirts of pretty stuff, dont like that. She has managed to get herself a pair of matching purple t-shirts and black combats so she can wash one and wears one. Though only one pair of black socks and a single pair of black converse, though she knows how to re-sole them. She has a simple black jacket that she uses to keep warm in colder times but she also carried a blanket in her backpack that she wears as a cape when its gets down to it. And one last thing, she had her father's fingerless gloves.
Strengths: Shes a good hunter, had to be ~ Shes actually rather good at self defense ~ Very good at climbing and tracking, her only past time aside hunting
Weaknesses: Shes bad at running ~ She has VERY bad people skills ~ She's quick to anger ~ she couldn't be stealthy if her life depended on it
Likes: Water ~ Trees ~ Climbing ~ Hunting ~ Her wild hair
Dislikes: People controlling her ~ Running ~ Having to be stealthy ~ Bullies ~ Rudeness or arrogance
Personality: nix has a few sides. On the top she seems a little aggressive and sharp and takes a long time to trust anyone, a short fuse and a temper that comes with a blade. Don't make her mad. Though go a little lower and you find out why, she's a good freind. She has had people she cared for and lost and feels it was her fault because she could help and so she acts aggressive to save getting hurt. If you could get her to trust you she will walk to the ends of the earth or give her life to see you safe and happy. She's brave, though she would never say it herself. Atop that there's a few silly little things. She hates stealth, seems pointless. Why not just shot them all and have it over with? And she knows she's a good looking and available girl and it annoys her, all men see her as is an item to be sold or passed or won. It drives her nuts! So, she doesn't believe in love. Or rather, she doesn't think anyone could ever love her
Mother:Lila Grace Night - Deceased
Father:Jark Kyle Night - Deceased
Siblings: None that she knows of ~ (Potential plot}
History: nix has a complex life. Her mother and father were part of a group who lived outside the zones and survived off the land, it all worked well and many people were happy there aside the few attacks by the infected. Though happiness doesn't last. Nix remembers being young enough to follow the men that came but not too young to understand she didn't really get to decide it herself, a 4 year old no less. Her mother and father were some of the few who gave in to the bandits, though give their skills they were not killed. Used as a nurse and farmer by the others, her parents were kept healthy enough to keep the bandits healthy. Nix was raised to believe it was her duty to help them gather food, though not in a very nice way.
Anyone seeing a young child in the road crying would stop, not the same way you would for an injured adult. Kindness is a good way to get killed. Nix was used as bait for years, her childlike cuteness aiding her controllers and her mind knowing no better. She was taught basics, how to shoot a gun and how to use a knife. Even a little reading by an older man who came with them from their first camp, though nix took a lot of time to learn this. Things changed when their leader was killed. The head bandit left his son to take over and he believed different things, they needed new blood. Suddenly children started to be born or kept from assaults and nix had no choice but to care for them, she was needed to help the older kids to learn to hunt.
Nix found her calling as a teacher. She was given a bow by one of the men and she's never let it go, half because it was a good man who gave it to her and half because it saved her life. She taught the older kids to hunt and the younger one to track, she even worked with the toddlers to teach them to read. Of course the child bait didn't stop and now nix was old enough to take part, or rather she had to or her parents would be hurt. Nix learnt to defend herself first hand at age 15, but she never took a life. She could disarm a man in seconds and then always would take a hit to keep from having to do what she knew the others would, she hated it. But her good behaviour kept her parents safe, so she thought. But all this time they thought their services kept nix from having to live the life she did, kept separate they only found out too late.
Nix was 16 when her best student, Eliza, felled the deer. There was a new child to teach and nix was now a grown woman, and woman offered a chance for new blood. Of course nix wasn't having this, she knew she would be offered to one of the men soon and so she took her moment. She skipped her hunting rounds and broke in to her parents compound, each now finding out their action had been in vain grew angry. Her mother gave her the purple ribbon she kept for luck and her father gave her his gloves which he had since a boy before they gave her all the food and water they had and then hit the guards. Nix had time to take out a couple of men, taking her bow back and grabbing a knife. Though it ended badly, she was attacked by one man who managed to pin her down and rip her shirt apart but she she managed a punch to his jaw. It earned her two long cuts with his knife before her screams alerted her father who shot her attacked, her parents told her she needed to run and get away. She managed it, they didn't.
She heard the gun fire from the ridge below the compound. The hunt came for her as she knew it would but she hunted in these woods, she knew them. She moved through them over three days using trees as shelter to hide in and her own skills to keep herself alive. She lost her captors after a week, she was lost herself after a fortnight more. Now she doesn't know where she is, she's never seen a zombie in her life and never killed a man. Yes she knows how to and yes shes learnt all about them, but they doesn't make one quite ready enough for them in person. Well, we'll see.
