## Behavior/Personality

Nyma is a strong silent type. She has a big heart underneath her cool, stone faced exterior. Although she is soft spoken when first encountered, once you get to know her she becomes a radiating beam of sunshine. She's a fairly reserved person, never showing her emotions to anyone. That being said, she never boasts of her own strength or abilities to anyone. She's cunning, loyal, and easy on the eyes. Determination is key and her strong willpower, but others see it as just being incredibly stubborn and hard headed. She rarely takes the easy way out when faced with a problem. Her philosophy is, " Work smart, not hard. " Mild tempered and extremely level headed, she isn't quick to anger in the slightest. It's very rare you will see this Desert Beauty lose her temper or her composure. If you have a dilemma, there is no one else you would want to help you get to the bottom of it. Her friends are her heart. Her people are her strength. She doesn't take it lightly when one is in danger. If she can put a halt to it, she will. Nyma is the young woman you would want to have you back. She's tough as nails and loyal to a falt. God forbid anyone is dumb enough to cross her. Things are liable to get ugly. Real ugly. Real fast.

## Physical Appearance

Illusive, intoxicating, incomprehensible. Her gilded amber irises bleed light to your soul and capture you with a single glance. She watches and waits. Vividly dark ebony waves fall vibrantly over the smooth of her shoulders. " Shhh " Her voice always hushed and silent. Beautiful brown skin so velvet, like melting chocolate dripping over the small slender curves that round her still growing body. She has a carefully crafted cupped bust and faintly pronounced developing hips, to her plump thighs, thundering strong legs. Nyma is an irrevocable fierceness that knows not of shackles and bindings. You'll get lost in her and those who do rarely find their way back. Everything about this youthful, untamed desert flower entices and nothing ever disappoints . . . She's a diamond in the rough. A treasure lost to the ever changing sands of the Dera Munda tribe. Nyma is a blooming desert lily in the lost *Dry Garden*.

## Roleplay Alignment

### **Neutral Good**

*A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He/she is devoted to helping others. He/she works with there higher up's but does not feel beholden to them.*

*Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias for or against '**order'**.*

*Neutral good can be a dangerous alignment when it advances mediocrity by limiting the actions of the truly capable.*

## Bending Style

### **Sand Bending**

**Sandbending** is an alternate earthbending style that has been adapted for use in the Si Wong Desert by the people that live there. They move quickly in the desert on specialized wooden sailers that are propelled by bending miniature, localized sandstorms behind their sails. Because sand is sediment which travels in flows, their style resembles *air* and *waterbending* more than earthbending. It is implied that most, if not all, earthbenders are capable of easily bending sand, but because of the loose shifty nature of *sand* it is not an easy transition for the average earthbender. The *sandbenders* of the desert are especially proficient with it due to their particular habitat. After the events at Si Wong Desert, Toph practiced her *sandbending*, achieving a mastery over it that allowed her to create an extremely detailed miniature sand version of Ba Sing Se. Likewise, one can compact the sand to be solid and thick. Sandbenders used this technique while stealing Appa.
In Nyma's case, she and her people do not associate herself with the average treacherous types of the everyday common sand bending tribes. The people of the lost Dera Munda culture are a sacred tribe who pride themselves on being in touch with their spirituality. The Mundians are an enlightened nomadic settlement who dedicate their lives to preserving their unique heritage. They draw inspiration from all four of the bending nations to better the depth of their abilities and defenses.
