Nocti is an NPC in Forgotten Indigo, played by Stabbyness.

Nocti, also known as the Champion of Noctua, was oftentimes seen taking classes at the University. She was originally avoided for her less-than-secret status of being affiliated with Gaillardia. After some intervention by her friend, however, she now functions independently and is aiming to help people as best she can as a hero figure.

## Basic Information

### Appearance

Nocti is a bit of an imposing figure with long, blue hair that splits into two as it falls down her back. She has two slug-like doinkers on her head and blue markings on her forehead and under her eyes. Her casual outfit consists of a pink cardigan and a royal blue dress bound at the waist with a bow. She also wears long, white socks and navy blue gloves. Underneath her clothing, she has prosthetic arms and legs-- either a more simple, human-looking set or a more intricate, sky-blue set made of twisting skysteel that ends in points.

### Backstory

Born on the island of Xiphos, the Champion of Noctua has cast aside her old identity to become an embodiment of a legend. Raised in the ruling family of the merchant king, the Champion was trained to learn skysteel shaping, an ancient art whose practice is restricted to the royal family.

At a young age she was chosen as the heir to the craft after the assassination of her older brother. The person she assumed was her father turned out to be nothing more than a caretaker and her tutelage was placed in the hands of her father by blood. She trained extensively with her father to learn the art before falling prey to an assassin's poison herself. As a result of her exposure to a frost magic poison named Winter's Kiss, she lost her limbs.

Due to her recovery time taking "longer than expected," her father moved on to one of her younger siblings. In time, the crimes of her family came to light and they were removed from power. Her father assumed the role of the Champion of Crater, an honored position to the public at large but a punishment to those aware of the true nature of skysteel. The Champion was given a choice as the eldest living child of the family: championship or prison. She took the bow of Noctua, assuming her position as the second ever champion of Noctua.

She expected to lose parts of herself to the bow, but the will within the skysteel has never once responded to her. She's retained full control of herself as a result. The bow was rebuilt under her supervision into legendary prosthetics.

As one of the Champions, she enjoys the position of a Xiphosi diplomat. Very rarely do the citizens of Xiphos visit the world below, but in Noctua's case her own role as a "false champion unable to inherit the memories of the past," made her a fantastic political exchange with the island city-state of Gaillardia where she eventually came under the care of Admiral Atreus.

Functionally exiled to the surface until Gaillardia reports back good results for the Champion, she now lives in the city of Indigo on Shrine Street.

## Relationships

### Atreus

Originally more of a professional arrangement, Nocti used to live on the General's boat and mostly share curt words of acknowledgement rather than extended conversation. After Nocti split off on her own, however, she became much more open, coming over to the fleet to speak not of factional work, but of daily life. Despite how it seemed at first, the two of them share a deep bond and respect with one another.

### Minor

* **Hyle**: Hyle oftentimes hangs out with Nocti in their downtime. They also have a play they run together, though it hasn't reached a very large crowd yet.
* **Corvo**: TBA

## Gameplay Information

### Attributes

* **Red:** Unknown
* **Blue:** Unknown
* **Yellow:** Unknown

### Abilities

* **Bow of Noctua**: Despite being used most often as prosthetics, Nocti is capable of using them for their more intended purpose: as a legendary bow. With her mastery over her skysteel, she is able to use the bow to deal massive damage in a large area. Though its most known status is a bow, Nocti can utilize its energy to create long, bonelike lances or arrows even while using the skysteel as prosthetics.

## Trivia

* Her favorite food is Shrimp. (World Anvil)
* Her height is listed as 6'8", but 6'4" without the doinkers. (Art Archive Discord)
* Upon arriving in Indigo, she had a list of things she wanted to do in the city. She crossed off the first (and in her eyes, the most difficult) of these things on her first day there: Make A Friend.
