## Biography

### Early Life

Nykara Takhat Khoem was born as the first daughter of previous Neb Takhat, Soris Takhat, and his wife, Lorah Khoem. She is the great-granddaughter and a descendant of the line of Senedy "The Usurper" Takhat, who "stole" the title of Nebet Takhat from her niece, Nerfertari Takhat, the Takhat Heir. Later Nykara had two younger sisters: Margareth and Belyse Takhat. As the firstborn, Nykara was candidate to become the Takhat Heir.

Nykara grew up wanting to become Nebet Takhat very badly. After she became the Takhat Heir, she studied law at the Seshat University of Khalem and began a constant rivalry with Hector Ankhaf, the Ankhaf Heir, who was at the top student in class. She was one of the strongest defenders of the Setepnetjeru Law, which kept the Setepnetjeru from using their gods-given abilities outside Per-Ankhaf grounds, a law which Hector, a Setepnetjer himself, was the biggest debater against.

### Huny Takhat

One thing kept her from successfully becoming Nebet Takhat: her cousin three-times-removed Huny Takhat, descendant of Nefertari Takhat's line, the "legitimate line", which despised Senedy's descendants. Huny was a good politician and became a people-elected Senator for the Sepat of Horus. The Senate, the Court, the Pharaoh and the public liked him, very much different of how they perceived Nykara. She saw Huny as her rival, because, if the Pharaoh wanted and the Senate approved, he could become Neb Takhat. Additionally, Huny came from a line of female firstborns who should have been Nebetu, which, for archaic Takhat laws, made him more legitimate than Nykara, whose Takhat progenitor was a man.

### Nebet Takhat

To claim her place, Nykara developed a controversial plan. She seduced Huny enough to get him to marry her, ignoring the fact they were distant family. That way, she defied the Court and Senate's opinion of her, and in 3998, she became Nebet Takhat with no objectors.

Nykara was very close in childhood to her niece, Aleah Takhat, although she despised the fact that she was a dangerous Setepnetjeret. If she did not have any daughter or son, Aleah would become the Takhat Heir by default.

Nykara and Huny tried many times to have children, but Nykara suffered many miscarriages. Eventually, one pregnancy worked, and Nykara gave birth to Nefertari Takhat although all odds were against her; doctors claimed that her baby would not survive after birth, but she did. Tragically, Nefertari died after months, and to not let her Setepnetjeret niece become Nebet Takhat in the future, she Forsake Aleah from the family as a seven year old. Aleah's younger sister, Tawy Takhat, was then candidate to become the Heir.

Nykara is one of the most important and relevant politicians in the Saturanian government, member of the Monarchist party and avid defender of the Setepnetjeru Law, demanding control over the Setepnetjeru so a disaster like the Storm of Hermopolis would not happen again.
