Naeva Tacitus

**Naeva Tacitus** is a third year Haven Academy student of team VLCN Her parents are huntsman turned celebrity and she aims to follow their path

## Background

Naeva is the only daughter of two hunters-turned-celebrities, her mother is a best-selling author of adventure stories based around her own time as a huntress, while her father acts as editor and is well known in artistic communities for his work with sculpture. Due to her parents high-profile status was raised in relative isolation due to their desire for privacy. Being born mute, she was further kept separate from other children out of the desire to keep her safe, so she spent most of her life alone with her parents and the household staff.

The girl took to artistic endeavors to occupy the time when she was a child, favoring sculpting clay by hand. As she grew older, she developed an interest in her parents early work as hunters, and so they began to tutor her in the academics expected of huntresses.

at the age of 13, her parents began training her in combat, where she quickly began to favor her fathers staff based style over the dust manipulation in use by her mother.

After four years of private lessons she enrolled in Haven Academy, having a permanent synthetic voice-box surgically implanted shortly before the entrance exam where she excelled in combat tests, passing written exams with above average scores. During initiation she landed a few feet from Argento Caden who had broken a leg due to a poorly timed landing maneuver. The two of them were placed on team Vulcan alongside Vidar Falun and Livia Vitrum.

## Personality

A very friendly and creative girl, Naeva is artistic by nature, oftentimes using her semblance for the purpose of sculpting during downtime. Polite but not exactly proper, she does have a powerful imagination, some passive-aggressive tendencies, and is a bit dirty-minded at times. Will openly flirt with others but tends not to initiate. Has a preference for males but is not averse to her own gender. Occasionally has a moment where she thinks out loud as a result of a lifetime of not needing to separate thought from speech, when this happens she will usually become flustered for a few moments before composing herself.

## Appearance

Naeva has deep blue hair, nearly black, and keeps it in a braid.

A side effect of her upbringing is a preference for simple but elegant clothing, using a dark grey box pleated combat skirt and black leggings, plus a midnight blue long sleeved simple blouse with black collar and cuffs, rounded out with plain but effective Black combat boots.

Typically wears either her combat gear or the beacon academy uniform when in non combat situations.

When it comes to formal events, Naeva tends to dress up in a black A-line dress with elbow length midnight blue gloves, and black velvet choker carrying her symbol in silver stitching.
