## Bio

Nyx is a soft-spoken, young female Changeling who lived a small life in her village before growing up to be thrown into the deeper plots lurking beyond the Dryadinne Forest. She became a Bard after graduating from Ravenwood College, and was thrown into a deep plot after she awoke with the Mark of Talona and soon smuggled into Adrian for answers to remove it. There, she learned about her role in keeping the Raven Queen tethered and became a devoted Warlock to her.

## Aliases

### Thadek:

A persona Nyx most often used in Volun and Duredar, taking on the appearance of a lean male Half-Orc with green and yellow-ish skin. Nyx kept up this alias until deceptively switching over to her Tanis persona in Solace when she and her party had to place their hands in silver flame at the Silver Flame headquarters to prove they were not lycanthrope, but she was proven to have changed her shape.

### Tanis:

With the permission of Tanis, as she found the idea of people perceiving her as 'everywhere all at once' amusing, Nyx never used her likeness until the incident in Solace when she was forced to shift to another form. Not comfortable enough with her party to show her likeness, she decidedly took on Tanis's to use the advantages of Adrian accepting Elves well enough and her very conventionally attractive appearance. This remained until she had no choice but to request the real Tanis's help and revealed herself to her two remaining companions.

## Early Life

Lux and Nyl were careful travellers and adverturers. When Lux realised she was pregnant with a miracle child, they decided it was best to settle down to properly raise a child. They returned to Lux's home safehaven so her mother could help raise their daughter. Nyl was reluctant at first but eventually was persuaded.

Nyx grew up a rather simple life in a Changeling safehaven deep in the Dryadinne forest. Her mother, Lux, was a respected healer for the surrounding area, and Nyl, her father, was one of the safehaven's elders. When Nyx had full control over her shifting, to her mother's dismay, she was allowed to go to the nearest town, Volun, with her father for supplies they either couldn't produce or get from the neighbouring Wood Elves.

Her mother taught her how to heal and the pros of living a Passer lifestyle. Nyx's grandmother, Luv, taught her to respect the gods, especially the Changelings' goddess Leira. Her father taught her to be curious and how to protect herself without harming others.

She was promised to the Guardians ever since she was a young child and was likely the only reason her chance meeting with Oberon, a famous Tiefling bard and performer, occurred and he agreed to escort her the weeks-long travel to attend Ravenwood College.

## College Life

Having left the safehaven to experience the world, Nyx--in the form of Thadek--stayed in Volun and worked until she could afford to go farther. It was at a local tarven she watched a performance of Oberon's and instantly knew she wanted to be like him--spellbinding and *carefree*. Perhaps more surprised he was being asked how he got to where he was and *not* how she could get in bed with him, he gave her his attention and time by escorting her to Ravenwood College-- during which she saw only a mere fraction of his capabilities. Although, it wouldn't be until five years later that she would learn the likely truth behind his intentions.

College was a bit of a blur for Nyx. In a rush to catch up to her peers around her who grew up with better education than she did, Nyx spent most of her time studying. She barely remembers *how* on one of the few nights she decided to relax she met and managed to make a good enough impression to [fade to black] with Tanis of Lockwell.

Within about 4 years, she graduated from Ravenwood College as a Bard, specialising in Eloquence, and returned to Volun to figure out where to go next with her life.
