Nalia is an 18 year old Female Hedgehog. She's your typical, everyday girl who enjoys living her comfortable life in Station Square. Though, she may come off as little off-putting at first, if you make the time to know her, she'll easily get attached to you. She is the main character in User:Five17 story.
== Appearance ==
Nalia is a pale brown hedgehog. She has medium-length wavy hair with two bangs that frames her
face. The front of her hair is parted with a clip/barret that holds back the left part of her hair. She has light-tan skin and light purple eyes with a diamond shaped iris in her right eye, due to a birth deflect. She doesn't have one particular outfit, since she doesn't like to wear the same thing all the time, But her wardrobe consists of mostly pastel colored clothing.
While attending school her uniform is similar to the boys uniforms, the only exception being that she wears a pleated black skirt, wears dark stockings and brown loafers shoes.
==Background==
Nalia was born into a struggling family of 6, with her being fourth youngest of child of her parents Evers and Noiree the hedgehog. Her and her family once lived close to the poorest part of empire city.
 Growing up was very tough for nalia. Especially being raised near the slums, paying a high cost for the run down home they live in with no space and money being very tight as both parents didn’t make much at their jobs they had to support their family, but despite these setbacks she was appreciative of having a loving family, that was enough for her, especially as her and her sibling looked out for each other. Which is helpful as it was quite dangerous of being out on the streets, as violence was a common thing in her area(at the time), her father and older brothers had taught her and her younger siblings how to fight and defend themselves. If they were leaving the house to go anywhere they would have to be back home around a specific time and always made sure to keep count of everybody to make sure everyone is there with them.  
While still young Nalia hoped school would be something of a "safe haven" to get away from her unpleasant life outside of school. Unfornately, school wasn't much better either, she was teased by her peers, especially about her clothes. She often wore one outfit, as her family couldn't afford clothes for all of their six children. When she did get new clothes they were either hand me downs or thrifted. Although, despite the teasing, no one really tried bully or harass her. Her fellow peers ignored her for the most part, though there were only a handful of people that have attempted to bother the hedgehog, but she was typically able get them to back off.
When about 11 years old she discovered her ability to change peoples relationships, which she discovered by accidentally messing with her siblings relationships with others as a result of her getting jealous of them having friends, while she had none. At that point in time, she felt alienated from the world. She felt most of her classmates(not all) didn't like nalia and she didn't like them either, she decided to damage and hurt others, to make herself feel better.
There was a girl in her grade, who was known to bully others weaker than her, she also tried bully nalia as well. Nalia, annoyed and tired of putting up with her, used her ability to get back at her. As result of her abilities, this girl began losing her "friends" one after the other, eventually she had no friends and nobody to talk to. It didn't take long before others began to tease and pick on her, especially being bullied by her former "friends". It got so bad that she had to move away. Nalia was a bit curious about what happened to the girl after she left, but at the time, she really didn't care about what happened to her.  
When entering eighth grade, she made her first friend, who introduces herself as addy(but thats not her real name). Everything was good between them and nalia really liked this girl. A lot. They had alot of things in common, they loved video games, shopping(well more like window shopping), spend the night over each others houses(even nalia was embarrassed to have her over) and they both had a deep love for fashion. Nalia genuinely felt happy, she felt blessed to have such an amazing friend like her. With that nalia became attached to her like glue.  Addy, one day fell head over heels for a guy she met and told nalia about about how she felt for him and how he felt about her, how he asked her out and she accpeted etc. Although, Nalia felt a bit weird about it initally(since addy was her only friend she felt a bit weird about sharing her), she was quite excitied for her and wished the best of luck with her relationship. The brown hedgehog was always there to support and console addy when things weren't going well between her and her new boyfriend, nalia would cheer her up by going for food or just hanging out. However, addy slowly began to distance herself from nalia and it lead up to the point where she wouldn't talk to nalia very much. If nalia tried to talk with her about it, she would get defensive.  Nalia stop talking about it as she felt she was pestering addy. However, addy continued to ignore her, Nalia confronted her again about the situation. Addy once again, getting defensive, tells her how she's tired of nalia questiong their frendship and how her bf was better than her, starts ranting about how nalia wasn't really a good friend. When nalia attempted to apologize, addy cut her off. Frightened and desperate(out of fear of losing her only "friend"), she used her powers to damage addy's relationship, permanently. Soon enough addy came back to her and nalia was "happy" to have her back. However, over a short amount of time nalia decided to not continue being friends with addy, due to gulit.
When nalia grew a bit older she decided she wanted to start all over again. Wanting a fresh start in her life, she moved from Empire city to Station Square, living near emerald coast with relatives, where she works part-time at a florist shop and as a full-time student at Station Square high. 
==Personality==
She's very optimistic, always looking ahead and a very positive person. Very honest, she feels that those close to her should be honest with her about anything and dislikes being left in the dark, and gets very upset towards those who tell her lies; even little white lies peeve her a bit. But she does have a passionate heart and more than willing to go out of her way to help those she loves and cares about, willing to drop whatever she's doing at the moment to help. When she makes a promise she keeps her word, never failing to forget about it, if she can't promise something the most she can do is try, which as a result her friends find her very trustworthy and dependable. Despite her open and cheerful personality, she can be a bit distrustful towards people she meets for the first time and often keeps to herself when surrounded by persons she's not familiar with, it takes awhile to befriend her, considering she often worries on whether or not the person has bad intentions or good intentions. Especially, with those she's not particularly fond of, though she can tolerate them (to an extent). When deeply upset or mad, she can be quite callous, she'll critize and spit insults to those who upset her, even towards her own friends. She wouldn't show regard or care to how the person feels until after she's calmed down. She doesn't stay angry for long and never holds on to grudges, she'll be quick to apologize, IF she genuinely feels it was her fault. She is sort of like a mother or big sister to her group of friends.
==Powers==
*Relationship Manipulation- She can manipulate the relationships of others, Including social, intimate, and interpersonal. She can break, reform, or completely start new relationships. As such she is capable of manipulating the emotions and feelings of said individuals. She's also able to influence how a person/individuals feel/how they think. However, due to how rarely she's used it, she's can't useher powers to it's full potential.
==Abilities and Skills==
*Sewing- She learned how to sew when she was younger because she often wore the same clothes, and her clothes would often have holes or tears in them and would have to fix them up. During the time when she was friends with addy, she taught her about how to sew properly. She's very good at it since she's done it for so long.
 *Enhanced Memory- This ability allows her to remember huge volumes of information in much greater accurate detail than an average person could. She can read books, listen to songs, and experience/witness events that she can recall without trouble. She can even recall events that happened years ago, she'll describe what time, day, month, and can see a persons face only once and that persons face will never disappear from her head. She can remember things for a long time without strain.
 *Designing Clothes- She's very experienced at making her own clothes, It takes her less than a week to get done creating an outfit. Since she was young when she didn't have money to afford clothes of her own, she usually made clothes from whatever material she could find.
 *Video gamer- She is a pro gamer at games, especially games that have to do with fighting or weapons, and because of her good memory she is able to remember every little thing in the games she plays. 
 *Combat- She is pretty skilled in basic combat due to being taught by her older brothers, so she can fend for herself when involved in a regular fight, however she's pretty much a sitting duck when fighting against those with powers.
==Weaknesses==
Although it's not extreme, she does suffer a minor case of monophobia(fear of being abadoned or alone).
Although, she doesn't show it, she is very attached to her friends and family. When alone she tends to become slightly unhinged when they aren't with her, usually the only things that relaxes her is when she's listening to music or taking a bath to ease her nerves. She freaks out a bit if she feels her friends are spending more time with someone else than her. Sometimes she feels like when people lie to her about where their going, she would follow them around without letting them know. However, she doesn't do this as much after her friends confronted her about it.
She can be stubborn. If she did something to someone that made them upset or angry she would usually feel bad and apologize, but if it's someone she doesn't like, she wouldn't apologize whether if it was her fault or not.
==Relationships==
===Family and Friends===
==== Evers the Hedgehog- ====
She is Nalia's Mother. Their relationship is rather strained, the last time the two ever spoke(in person) was shortly before nalia moved out. Since her move, they really haven't been on speaking terms. Although, nalia still loves evers and even thinks about her from time to time, she still is quite bitter towards her because of how she started to treat her later on in her life. Despite supposedly being on bad terms, her mother will send her gifts around the hoildays and once even sent nalia a birthday cake when nalia turned 18.
====Noiree the Hedgehog-====
Nalia's Father. Unlike with her mother, the two maintain a close relationship. Her father checks up on her pretty often. 
====5 other siblings-====
Doesn't get the chance to see them alot, but she's pretty close to her siblings, she mostly vists them during the hoildays or birthdays. Like with her father, they maintain contact with her.
====Ni the Rat-====
 She and Ni are good friends. They both love to play video games, Usually the two would go out on a hunt to local video game store and raid the place for the latest video games, then after they purchase the games they want, they go out to go meet up with the others to have a game night. However, NI is not really as fond of shopping like Nalia is, but usually goes with her nonetheless because she likes spending time with her anyways.
==== Mari the Chipmunk- ====
Her and Nalia have a very close friendship as well. They have a lot in common with one and another, especially their taste in clothes as their both huge fans of pastel clothes and are always seen shopping with each other when with their with friends. Sometimes, they have a little banter between each other but, their usually messing around. One of Nalia's brother's has a crush on mari, much to nalia's dismay.
==== Ian the Porcupine - ====
A close friend to Nalia. She first met the porcupine when she first came to Station Square when she was about 15 years old at this point. When loitering around in the airport, waiting on relatives to pick her up she happened to meet Ian, who was there waiting for his aunt and uncle to arrive back to Station Square. He introduced himself to nalia, which actually surprised nalia, as she was a bit put off by his sudden friendly demeanor. Although, hesitant at first, she decided to accept him when he offered to become her friend. Since then the two have become a close knit. Ian is more than quick to back up Nalia if she were to ever get caught up in unsavory situations. Nalia Is often the one who has to keep Ian in check since he often gets himself into some kind of trouble.
==== Sena the Wolf - ====
When Ian introduced nalia to sena, the wolf greeted her politely, but said it in a rather flat tone, This slightly bothered her. Whenever Ian left them alone together, it would be dead silent, well to nalia. While she would try to start up a conversation with him, the most she could get out of him was one or two words, which made it more awkward as she assumed he was anti-social. So when second semester comes around, he still acted the same way to her, however, he seemed to talk to her a bit more, actually responding to her in full sentences, This surprised, but delighted nalia. It wasn't until summer vacation when they started to hang out more. Now, they have something similar to a sibling relationship. She's unaware that he's apathetic.
====Addy the Coyote-====
A former friend of Nalia.
