Nyx (The Dragon Prince)

Nyx is a supporting antagonist turned anti-hero in the third and fifth seasons of Netflix's drama animated 2018 fantasy web series The Dragon Prince.
She is a Skywing Elf adventurer and thief who tried to abduct Azymondias from Callum and Rayla for her gain before becoming their ally after they rescued her from a pack of Soulfang Serpents. She eventually joined Villads and became his first mate but her questionable greed lies underneath her personality.
==History==
===Early Life===
Born on December 4th within the realm of Xadia, Nyx was among the fortunate Skywing Elves who possessed the extraordinary gift of wings. These wings have enabled her to fully embrace the freedom and advantages that her life bestows, skillfully employing them to engage in illicit activities for personal gain.
Over time, Nyx has developed into a highly skilled fraudster, finding her place of residence and refuge in the perilous expanse known as the Midnight Desert, nestled within Xadia. Accompanied by a colossal Ambler, she relies on this creature both as a sanctuary and a means of transportation in this hostile territory. However, she would often have to free her Ambler when her foot got caught in the soulfang serpant's burrows.

===Between Sun and Ocean===
Nyx encountered Villads and Berto at Scumport. It was during this encounter that Nyx assumed the role of the new first mate of The Ruthless. However, a constant source of contention between Nyx and Villads was their disagreement over who held the true captaincy of the ship.
===The Mystery of Aaravos Saga===
====Book 5: Ocean====
Two years after the confrontation at the Storm Spire, Nyx reunited with Team Zym and accompanied them on their voyage to the Sea of the Castout to prevent the liberation of Aaravos.
However, the group was soon captured by Finnegrin, who wanted revenge on the Dragang for taking the glow toads he was going to use as bait. Nyx bargained for her freedom, promising him she and the group were hunting for a treasure in the Sea of the Castout. She only returned after Elmer fed Finnegrin to the Leviathan and claimed she had Team Zym's best interests at heart. However, none of them believed her. It is unknown what happened to her afterward, but it's highly unlikely that anyone from Team Zym will ever trust Nyx again.
==Personality==
Nyx possesses an astute and determined character, displaying an unwavering commitment to accomplishing her objectives. She exhibits a willingness to employ ethically questionable methods to obtain what she desires, often overshadowing her moral compass with an insatiable greed. Rayla, upon meeting Nyx alongside Callum, immediately sensed an unsettling aura surrounding her, even going so far as to point one of her butterfly swords at the older female elf. Despite her deceitful nature, Nyx exudes a cheerful and carefree demeanor, characterized by a distinctive personality that distinguishes her from others. She possesses exceptional proficiency in the art of deception, capable of outsmarting even the most cautious individuals, such as Rayla.
Nevertheless, Nyx is not devoid of expressing gratitude towards those who demonstrate compassion towards her, and she genuinely experiences remorse for the crimes she has committed. She asserts that her actions were motivated by a desire to safeguard the best interests of everyone involved. However, Rayla and the rest of her team remain unconvinced, mostly because they had been tortured by Finnegrin, enough that Callum even resolved to dark magic to save his friends. Instead, they firmly declare their refusal to place their trust in Nyx ever again because of this incident.
