GENDER, Female. BATTLE ROLE, Range/Melee DPS. BATTLE STYLE, Casual. AGE, Sixteen. ALLIANCE, Herself. PERSONALITY, Nikita is a morbid, serious young girl, and everything is about business to her. She's not a depressed person, but she's not by any means cheerful; she's cynical, flat, and holds everyone at a distance. Not just an arm's length, either- more like two arms and a leg's length. She doesn't allow anyone to get close to her, and will carefully observe someone for a long time before she deems them trustworthy and unlikely to sabotage her. Even then, though, the distance is still an arm's length -- if you really, truly wish to be Nikita's genuine friend, you better have a helluva lot of determination and patience, 'cause it's going to take awhile. And if you hurt her, even once? You're going to have to work twice as hard. APPEARANCE,
WEAPONS, Kanra. Kanra is a typical katana, about as average as average gets. ITEMS, Nikita sometimes carries a briefcase in which she keeps various important documents, an emergency stash of money, bandages, several different outfits for disguises and formal occasions, wigs, different pairs of glasses, and a 'to-do' list that features only names. When not carrying this, she keeps it beneath the floorboards of the various inns she resides in. ABILITIES, Kanra's Folly. A passive ability that makes her twice as fast as the average human. RACIAL ABILITIES, |
Human Racial: Kanra's Blessing.
With this ability, Nikita gains a sixth sense of sorts; she can get a vague idea of what people are feeling in the most basic of descriptions: angry, fearful, happy, upset, etc. She sees the emotions (in her mind) in colors; so an angry person would have a red tint, happy would be yellow, upset would be blue, and so on. It essentially makes her aware of everyone around her, which also makes her extremely difficult to sneak up on. Passive, extends to up to a 100-foot radius.
HISTORY,
The entire Svahild line has been a family of assassins, men and women alike. Each child was born and raised to kill in the most effective manner possible. Those not healthy enough or those who did not wish to follow in their parent's footsteps were either killed or left on someone's doorstep, depending on what the child's parents were like. Unfortunately, this happened to many of the Svahild children, so each generation gave birth to more children than the last. Nikita was the youngest child born to a couple who had seven children, and she was also one of the best.
From age four to age ten, she was trained in weaponry. Swords, daggers, bows, throwing sharp objects, fist fighting, broken bottles, polearms, whatever. She didn't tackle the weapons one at a time, either; she'd begin her fight with a sword, then switch to daggers, then have to use only her hands and her wits to win. Then, for six months after she turned eleven, she was sent out into the wilderness of Peak Province with only a survival knife and the clothes on her back. To be honest, she barely survived, but she was stronger for it.
After her return, Nikita was trained in observation and reflexes. She learned to pick up on small details, to use her surroundings to her advantage. She could anticipate an opponent's attack by the movement of his muscles, and judge his mood by the slightest twitch of his facial expression. The girl was trained in this area for the greater part of three years.
After returning from her first mission when she was fourteen years old, she discovered her family's house burned to the ground, neither of her parents nor any of her siblings to be seen. She was somewhat distraught for obvious reasons, but she wasn't all that worried. Her family was strong, after all. There had to be survivors, and they would get along fine without her. Nikita had always been a cold, stoic girl, and this occasion would not prove to break her.
When she left Snowpeak to travel, she met a woman named Kanra. It took a long time, but she eventually befriended Nikita; the two lived together for a time, but Kanra was sickly. After a year, she died, and part of her soul flew into Nikita. The remnants of her personality dissipated, but her powers remained; as they grew in powers and Nikita separated each one, she named each one after her lost friend. She also gained a katana from the woman, which she calls simply 'Kanra' to honor her memory.
After that, there was nothing for Nikita to do but travel and work. She still searches for her family at times, but that's not her top priority. She just gets jobs, she finishes jobs, and she moves on.
