Distinguishing Marks: Two crimson stripes trace her hips, upper arms, lower legs, and cheeks; white “suture-like” lines appear in between. Her lynx traits are easily recognizable – the lack of a tail, pointed black-tipped ears, and bi-colored fur.
Description: Nyx is a hybrid – she is 80% human, 20% Eurasian lynx. She has a very muscular build from hunting, and is Amazonian in stature, though her personality is not looming or overly dominant. Though she is only 20% lynx, and most of her physical traits are generally human, the feline aspects are noticeable. She always wears a two-piece two-tone blue suit, along with snow boots and a necklace with a purple glowing charm. For hunting, she uses a 7 foot spear that has three prongs, along with a large blade in the center carved from a smilodon fang that she uncovered one day in the frozen tundra. She occasionally will use a dagger that is stored in a pouch on her left leg, or a crossbow. On the spear and arrows, there is an “exit blade” made of metal that faces the opposite direction of the penetrating blade; the “exit blade” will lacerate the prey as Nyx pulls the weapon out. This is Nyx’s “signature.”

PERSONALITY

Overview: Nyx’s main duty, because she and her brother were orphaned as children, is to hunt to survive. Over time, she has gotten very skilled at killing prey. Like all lynxes, she is mainly solitary, as well as nocturnal, hence her name. She and her brother Vox do everything together, and are not only best friends, but nearly inseparable. Nyx is somewhat of a paradox – she hunts to survive, yet usually has some amount of displeasure while doing so. Despite her appearance and job, she is surprisingly benevolent.
Traits: Relentless, intelligent, excellent at hunting, independent, stoic, quiet, and concentrated.
Phobias: Losing her brother or her skills
Favorite Colors: Purple, blue, and red
Favorite Scents: Fire, honey, and the smell of winter
Favorite Foods: Rabbit (and occasionally ice cream)
Strengths: Though Nyx may be considered too solitary, this isolative behavior causes her to be very quiet and focused; but, she is very warmhearted toward Vox and her well-trusted counterparts. Nyx is relentless and hates failure, but will accept a loss if she realizes why. Fortitude persists in every situation Nyx encounters, and she is not afraid to take risks; nor does she give up very easily. Technically, she is very experienced at what she does.
Weaknesses: Nyx can be incredibly stoic and independent. Sometimes she takes this too seriously. It also is hard for her to gain trust in others, seeing as how her parents abandoned her at an early age. She jumps to conclusions often, and her experience can lead to occasional hubris.

BACKGROUND

First Kiss: None
First Love: None
Extras: None
Story: Nyx calls the Ural Mountain Range of Siberia her home; her youth was spent frolicking in the cold taiga, learning how to hunt efficiently and skillfully with her brother. Their parents orphaned the lynx twins when they were young (Nyx was 1, Vox was 5). Neither twins knew their parents’ names, so they did not grow very attached to them. Their upbringing was rough and militaristic, but Nyx’s skill today would not be where it is if she and her brother had not been forced to survive and adapt on their own. Now, as young adults, Nyx and Vox rely only on each other and the things they have learned.
