At a certain point in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, during a reaction called the ignition point, flames are produced. The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Fire Nymphs have control over the color of the flame and the fire's intensity. Shahbaz Khashoggi was a magic weirder, a wizard, who first came to know of the existence of fire nymphs when one of them leapt out of his campfire. She was nothing more than a tiny ember, a spark of fire when she landed near him. He went to snuff her out when she assumed the form a women, a woman made entirely of fire. He was awestruck by the sight of her, the beauty of the flames that made up her figure. She introduced herself to him as Ashna.
Ashna and Shahbaz were temporarily able to make a life together, literally able to create life together. A child that shared her mother's ability rather than her father. Nilüfer is an elemental like her mother. Shahbaz has worked tirelessly to create a box, something small that was enchanted with the magic from the spells that he knew. He tried to make something that could withstand the heat of the flames while also capable of containing Ashna's, and Nilü's, fire. He was unsuccessful trying with Ashna, and only Ashna. They would never risk testing his contraption on Nilü, she was far too precious to them. Shahbaz was only able to complete a working prototype of the fire box when Ashna was drained of her life source.

Nilü is the owner of her father's magical creation. Over the course of her life it has evolved in form. The original box design was changed to make travel less complicated. It is currently that of a small red colored gear ball. She wears it a pendant around her neck. It contains her fire although it does not feel hot and to the uninformed it looks like a mortal children's toy. It goes everywhere that she goes, as she has been told that if she is ever without it that she will perish. She was quite young when it happened to her mother, her father never fails to remind her of exactly how devastating it was. All he succeeds in doing is making her feel as though the cause of her Ashna's demise was the price to pay for Nilü's life.
Shahbaz sent for a compatriot of his, a fellow magic wielder called Samir, he met long ago. When he was young boy learning magical spells and incantation he met a mage with similar albeit differing abilities. After many years they were still on friendly term with on another, to escort Nilü to Olympus Academy. Shahbaz would have been happy to do it himself if he had the strength. He was dying and he did not have the will to tell Nilü that by the time she returned her would be no longer be among the living. He knew she never would have left his side and without him or her mother there was no one who needed to protect her. She went to the academy to learn how to defend herself from any threat that she should face.

During her years spent training and growing in confidence as a supernatural being she learned that her father's magical contraption was not the first of its kind. There were many other nymphs who were also forced to keep, carry or otherwise stay close to their element. It made feel as though the chain around her neck was less like an anchor and more like a tether. She already knew it contained the element that kept her alive, with her knowledge of the other elemental needing to do the same she looked at the pendant differently. It did not keep her weighted it kept her connected. She treated the item with much more care afterwards, she never removed it from her person for any reason, it was always around her neck or wrist.
After she left the academy she went back to Syria expecting to find her father waiting for her. What she found instead was a family that she did not recognize, she was confused and quick to anger. She could have easily killed them all. Samir was there, luckily. He knew she would come just as Shahbaz told him she would. He was there to comfort her and inform her of her father's passing. She stayed with Samir and began to know the unfamiliar Al Numan family living in her old home. Having no other place to go she was trained as a glassblower by the Al Numan brothers; Farid and Karam. It became something she was quite passionate about and she showed a skill that was unmatched even by the men who trained her.

She grew bored with the life she made for herself in Syria. Farid was beginning to admire her in a romantic way as was his brother Karam. She could see their lust for her grow with each passing day and she wanted no part of that. She did not want to come between the brothers and she did not want to be what tore the small family apart. She swiftly broke the heart of both Karam and Farid telling them each individually she would never be interested in them and that she was leaving Syria forever. She thanked the Al Numan family and Samir for hosting her as long as they had. She gave them a large portion of the money she earned from her success as a glassblower and she left them to sell off the excess of her crafted glasswork.
Her plan upon her exit from the home she knew as a child and hardly recognized as an adult was to return to the academy. She had been having the same reoccurring day dream for over a decade. It was a crystal clear vision of herself behind a desk in an office, it was not a memory because she was no longer a pupil. It gave her a strong desire she did not have before. It made her want to teach or at the very least assist in instructing the youth of Olympus Academy in a similar fashion to her experience in the past. She may not have been qualified to teach at the time, what she is and what she was is skilled. She is smart enough to learn and put her knowledge into practice. She spent the following two decades training in various subjects.
