### Background

Nephthys, formerly known by her pre-war name, Emily Carter, was an ordinary citizen of New York City before the Great War. She had a deep-rooted fascination with ancient Egypt, finding solace and inspiration in the rich history and symbolism of the ancient civilization. As a pre-war historian and researcher, she spent much of her time studying and immersing herself in Egyptian culture, visiting museums and libraries to expand her knowledge.

When the war ravaged the world, Emily sought refuge in the American Museum of Natural History, where she found comfort among the ancient Egyptian artifacts. She adapted the name Nephthys, after the Egyptian goddess associated with death and protection, considering it a symbol of strength and resilience in the post-apocalyptic world. Over time, Nephthys became a charismatic and influential figure within the raider community that formed around the ruins of the museum. Drawing inspiration from the artifacts and teachings of ancient Egypt, she established herself as the Queen of Nahimu, a raider stronghold centered within the Ancient Egypt exhibit.

Despite her raider background, Nephthys retains her passion for knowledge and history. She values intelligence and strategic thinking, often incorporating ancient Egyptian symbolism and strategies into her plans. Her desire to discover, interpret, and disseminate knowledge sets her apart from the typical raider stereotype. Nephthys sees herself as the guardian and protector of Ammu Nahi and its inhabitants. She genuinely cares for her followers, which includes her brother Horus, doing what she believes is necessary to ensure their survival and prosperity. Though her methods may be ruthless at times, she believes she is building a formidable force that can resist external threats and bring stability to the wasteland. Nephthys has a complicated relationship with Seth, her consort. While she acknowledges his combat prowess and ambitions for power, she often finds herself at odds with his extreme methods and unhinged behavior. Nephthys struggles to balance her desire for strength and control with her concerns about Seth's influence on the raider gang.

Nephthys's interest in ancient Egypt is intertwined with her fascination with death. She sees death as a natural part of life and embraces the symbolism associated with it. This fascination shapes her outlook on the wasteland and influences her decision-making, sometimes leading her to take calculated risks or engage in rituals and ceremonies that reflect her beliefs.

### Notes

Nephthys's name is a reference to the ancient Egyptian figure of the same name who was the goddess of the air (since the sky is the “head” of the world) and the head of the family.
