Nitenat Leos

**Nitenat Leos** is a magical being, specifically, a sphinx.

## Lore

Born the daughter of a sphinx couple, Nitenat Leos was heavily involved with her parents’ library. She loved living there and working there, reading the old tomes, sorting new shipments into the right shelves, etc. Her parents gave her a wonderful childhood, but one day, Nitenat and her parents went to open the library, and found it in ruins. The building looked as if it had been burned down, but they could tell, from the acrid smell, someone used Greek Fire to burn it down. They know it was deliberate, but no one knows who did it or why. That day, Nintenat vowed she would find out who did this heinous crime, and why they did this. Those questions haven’t yet been answered yet, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be.

As a sphinx, Nitenat looks like a human/lion hybrid, but with a few extra features thrown in. She possesses golden-brown fur all over her body, brown hair, which is usually braided, yellow-green, leonine eyes, leonine ears, a leonine muzzle for a nose/mouth, complete with whiskers and fangs, claws on her human-like hands, leonine legs and paws, a leonine tail, and eagle-like wings on her back.
