Neera Guinn

Leader and priestess of The Children of the Lion, currently employed by MacLaughagan.

## Description

#### Personality

Neera is a domineering, intelligent woman. While not always completely confident her abilities, she bears her power and authority over the Children with great responsibility. She is an excellent public speaker, and cares deeply for her friends and found family. Neera is extremely passionate, sometimes nearly to a fault, but she does her best to maintain a level head when she notices her emotions clouding her sight.

#### Appearance

Neera is very pale and blonde. For church functions, she typically dons her clerical garb, and her green and white half-cloak and collar. However, she prefers much more casual clothes in her life outside the church, although she typically sticks to the dark color palette of her formal wear. These casual outfits consist of long-sleeve shirts and pants, with occasional stylistic accessories. She rarely lets her hair all the way down.

## Abilities

As the priestess of the Children of the Lion, Neera has a great deal of sway over her followers. Her dealings with first the Lion, and now MacLaughagan have also given her access to a demonic form with hardened flesh and claws, as well as a gnarly horn and glowing eyes. Neera is also incredibly proficient with her sacrificial blade, and just knives in general.

## Relationships

#### Nyx Fletcher

Neera is quite conflicted on the topic of Nyx Fletcher. On the one hand, the two have been basically dating for several months, an arrangement that Neera finds great solace in. On the other, she understands Nyx to be, or have been, in contact with the man who killed her mentor, Anthony Wilson. While Nyx has attempted to make amends, Neera has her reservations. However, she hopes that Nyx's actions will speak louder than her words.

#### The Lion

Neera has been a member of the Children for a while, and her role as Vessel put her in direct contact with the entity to whom her church is devoted.

#### Anthony Wilson

Wilson was a guiding light in Neera's life when she first joined the Children. He took her on as a student, and she, in turn, held him in very high regard. His sudden death was devastating to Neera; she was thrown into a position of leadership during a time of great disarray after his murder, and considers herself wildly unprepared. However, he taught her well, and she will neither abandon her flock, nor allow his death to go unpunished.

## History

Neera's personal history is largely unknown. She joined the Children of the Lion in the months after Sam Fischer's death.

## Quotes

"If you ever do anything like that, I will gut you like a fish. I love you, but it’s true."

## Trivia

* Neera's favorite color is no longer green.
* Her demonic form was designed to her specifications. She finds having one arm clear of demonic armor to wield a blade very convenient, and the horn's size and shape were a subject of much debate between her and The Guide.
* Neera doesn't drink alcohol.
* Her long hours spent alone in the church rectory have led Neera to explore various hobbies to occupy her time. So far, she has quite enjoyed knife throwing, meditation, sewing, and CrossFit.
