Her beauty is not unnatural, or dreadful, or despicable -- it is a natural beauty that flows easily like honeyed wine down a parched throat. Kaira's stature is short in particular; she stands at roughly only five feet and two inches of height, though her frame is muscled and yet curvy at the same time. She possesses long, flowing locks of ginger hair, luscious in their warm hue and silky in their texture, as they grace and complement sapphire-hued eyes and tanned, rose-blushed skin. Her nails are often painted cool colors, such as blues and purples, with pink, plump lips that could remind one of a Saint, perhaps. Her small nose and gorgeous features are complemented by appealing womanly traits - wide hips as well as generous features, though nothing even remotely close to obscene absurdity. Rather, she's glowing and graceful in her visage, and Kaira bears no scars or marring upon her frame. Kaira Nyxis often finds herself considerably well-dressed; she dons soft, flowing dresses as well as attire that suits her noblewoman lifestyle. She's often wearing blue-green in particular, though she also enjoys cool and warm colors alike for her attire. Due to her noble status, she's rarely seen outside of it -- her mother's diadem, gold-bronze adorned with precious rubies, as well as a pearl bracelet and a golden choker, complete her iconography of radiant loveliness that emanates from her. Her feet are often clad in durable sandals, yet a lifetime of skincare routines and such have ensured her plush, soft skin does not break out, blister, or grow calloused. Kaira is soft in appearance as she is soft in clothing, and this reflects upon herself considerably. Due to her mother's untimely passing, Kaira's eyes contain a hint, a glint, of sadness and understanding; this identifies itself as apparent when Kaira has been quite isolated away from others save for other noble families and their children. Her father's fear of losing her, combined with her prim-and-proper schooling, has left her with a straight-backed stance and saintly posture. Outside of this, Kaira Nyxis is by any and all means an unusually, though not inhumanly, beautiful noblewoman; a woman who prides herself on physical appearance evidently, and just as carefully ensures she looks the best. After all, as a noblewoman, she is expected to be well-dressed and proper at all times, and Kaira is by no means a woman who exhibits any sign of deviance from her aristocratic upbringing. The only hint of disobedience, if even that, is that faint glimmer of longing, of craving a purpose beyond being a noblewoman and kept trapped in her own manor. Noteworthy Features » Beautiful, long ginger hair » Soft, luscious features » Aphrodite-like frame and body » Noble posture and poise » Just a beauty in all seriousness, really. THEIR PERSONA Kaira Nyxis, upon first glance, can be best described as a kind woman -- the glint of patience is evidenced in her eyes by likewise behavior, a demeanor that does its best to understand her fellow compatriots in the Imperium, especially even those of more mysterious or lower "status" in life. She believes herself to be, in many ways, a woman who is driven to serve her people and to help them, an ideal that has attempted to be rooted out by her father, but which has failed time and time again. Kaira Nyxis is a woman who believes in the best in people, and believes that she should be able to be free ultimately - to seek a meaning and purpose beyond eventually being married off and forced to bear children for some noble baron's son. Additionally, Kaira Nyxis exhibits curiosity and intrigue in all manners of the Imperium; she possesses an intellectual mind and ravenously consumes books as much as she can, at least, what she can find to read that of proper Imperium origin. That being said, she does have some flaws -- she's xenophobic to a modest degree (though she does not mind abhumans at all) and finds the xenos to be fear-inducing. Likewise, those against the Imperium earn both her ire and fear alike, as she has been raised far, far away from any form of conflict. Outside of this, Kaira Nyxis is naive and soft -- she does not understand the plight of the Militarium or Astartes, nor does she understand why the Inquisitors do what they set out to, well, do. Behind these traits, however, is a verifiable well of sadness - her mother's terminal illness, uncurable even by the finest in the Imperium's medicae on Corinth, has left her a woman who has been devastated by such a tragedy. She wishes she could have done more, stopped it -- yet she refuses to wallow in misery and to let herself stagnate in despair, instead choosing to have hope in her heart, to live, and to keep going for her mother's memory. While she does love her father, she finds him cruel in a few regards, and in many others, simply does not understand his means or logic. She is a woman who wants and believes in the best of things, even when the time is dark and fell. Most importantly of all, though, Kaira Nyxis is a woman who is deeply, deeply lonely, and seeking to find something to give her companionship, be it a friend or more. She is a woman who wants, no, seeks to find some sort of person to relate and connect to beyond her draconian father, and to be free from the societal expectations that are placed upon it. Another negative trait she does possess, however, is an extreme reluctance to fight -- it would not be wrong to call her a coward in many ways, and just as equally naive in many respects. She's a woman who, finally and most of all negativity-wise, does possess a nosy nature to her, and seeks to know more about people if possible -- sometimes to an annoying extent. » POSITIVE TRAITS ✔ Compassionate ✔ Understanding ✔ Patient ✔ Empathetic » NEGATIVE TRAITS ✘ Fearful ✘ Cowardly ✘ Naive ✘ Nosy » LIKES ✔ Mankind and her fellow humans (yes, this includes abhumans) ✔ Good food ✔ Soft clothing ✔ Jewelry » DISLIKES ✘ Cruelty ✘ Secrecy ✘ Fighting ✘ Anything unnatural THEIR CONNECTIONS Allies » Baron Nyxis Her draconian father, while often at odds with him, she does love him and care for him, and finds him her parental figure she has left. She's deeply attached to her father, and often does her best to please him, even if she secretly yearns to be her own woman as opposed to living in his shadow » Head Servant Kelia Her primary caretaker, Kaira holds a distinctively special relationship with her - viewing her in much the same way a grandmother would be viewed by her grandchild. Kaira cares for her deeply, and often goes to her for her worries. » Matthis Botticelli Matthis Botticelli is a young nobleman who Kaira had a crush on when she was younger -- only two years her senior, they were set to be engaged and married from a young age. Yet, as she grew older, this crush faded, and Kaira found herself uninterested in him as anything but a brotherly figure to her. While the two are set to be married yet still, Kaira lacks the courage to tell her father the truth -- that she is not interested in him. She knows Matthis feels for her greatly, and worries that it would break his heart and drive him to cut her only source of friendship away from her. Enemies » Derrick Angonos Son of House Angonos' Baron, another member of Kavala Hive, Kaira Nyxis finds him piggish, brutish, and repulsive -- a fat slob who her father nearly had her marry only a year ago until she stated her refusal in private to marry such a man -- Derrick's attempted assault upon her resulted in her draconian father banishing Derrick from his manor. Derrick Angonos therefore views Kaira as both a hated enemy and a prize to be won, and Kaira refuses to be seen as such. » Mansspar Angonos Derrick's equally vain, equally cruel father, he detests Kaira for not accepting his son's prominent hand in marriage, as House Angonos is a greater house than House Nyxis. This, combined with his lustful intentions for Kaira, have left her fearful and worried of being taken one day by him and his son. » Emeliya Xelds Daughter of House Xelds, Kaira Nyxis once found romantic interest in her, and the two were passionate in their affection, if restrained due to distance despite being in the same Hive. As a consequence, however, Emeliya Xelds saw Kaira as a toy and a doll to play with as opposed to a partner. When Kaira discovered Emeliya Xelds cheating on her with another, she ended the relationship, yet never told her father out of fear of being punished and potentially restricted severely from her life's limited freedoms. A ghost of a past, however, does not fade so easily, and Emeliya is deeply obsessed with regaining her relationship with Kaira at any cost. THEIR APTITUDES Kaira Nyxis is by any and all means a woman who is well-versed in intellectual studies, at least, as much as she can be, and is likewise extremely intelligent despite her unexperienced nature in the real world. Likewise, she's well-versed in courtly behavior and noblewoman fashion. She's also a woman who possesses significant degrees of charismatic aptitude, if a lack of practice having ensured she has not explored it much. Kaira is capable with makeup and speeches, and noble behavior, though she's also just as capable as talking to people as a normal person could -- if shy and nervous. That being said, Kaira Nyxis does have her flaws, as listed below. » STRENGTHS ✔ Charismatic ✔ Intelligent ✔ Studious ✔ Determined » WEAKNESSES ✘ Incapable in Combat ✘ Physically Weak ✘ Terrible Shot ✘ Horrible Driver Abnormal Traits » N/A N/A » N/A N/A » N/A N/A ACCOUTREMENTS THEIR WEAPONS » N/A N/A » N/A N/A » N/A N/A THEIR ARMOR Noblewoman's Clothing A simple noblewoman's outfit.

You have been warned. Kaira Nyxis was born to House Nyxis, more specifically, to Baron Nyxis and Baroness Nyxis nee Montmorency; a young girl who would prove to be their only child, and a miracle child due to Baroness Nyxis suffering an earlier miscarriage. Kaira Nyxis was a beautiful baby -- perfectly healthy, born right on time, and by all accounts, lovely -- yet her father grew worried, as did her mother. She was their only child, their only daughter, their pride and joy. This led to her father, Baron Nyxis, hardening his heart and taking the role of an over-protective, draconian figure as to not lose her -- he even forbade her, as he told Baroness Nyxis, to become one of the Knightly pilots of House Nyxis. As a consequence, House Nyxis only possessed two retainers, and two Knights who swore fealty to it -- a tiny House by all accounts. Even from a young age, though, Kaira Nyxis was an intelligent, smart, and kindly child -- yet also incredibly lonely. Raised by an army of tutors, maids, and servants, Kaira Nyxis did not get to know her father much as he was always chronically away for business, yet her mother was always present, and therefore the only source of kindness she grew up within, a woman who Kaira related deeply to as much as she did love her mother. They were inseparable, a duo of parent and child that wanted nothing but the best for each other, and thus fittingly, Kaira was raised heavily by her mother. At a young age, she only had two friends -- Emeliya Xelds of House Xelds, and Matthis Botticelli of House Botticelli. Both of them were close to her, though Kaira found herself with a crush on both Emeliya AND Matthis as she grew older. Ultimately though, as Kaira grew into her tenth year, she found herself losing attachment to Matthis in that way, and instead viewed him as a brother -- a view she wished she stated to her father when occurrences became apparent later on. Unfortunately, not all was blissful in House Nyxis. Unbeknownst to Kaira Nyxis, her mother had suffered from a genetic disease inherited from her family -- while it didn't pass down to Kaira thankfully, her mother began to grow sicker and sicker, and was finally diagnosed at Kaira's twelfth birthday. As a result, she possessed only four years to live -- four years of pain, grief, and agony as Kaira watched her mother wither and atrophy away. The experience traumatized both father and daughter -- her father grew cruel and angry and hardened, and Kaira, while determined to live for her mother, also experienced pain and hurt in her own way. In the end, as this process went on, Kaira Nyxis became romantically involved with Emeliya Xelds -- though the relationship quickly grew verbally and mentally abusive to Kaira from Emeliya. Eventually, Kaira, at fifteen years of age, broke free from that relationship after she discovered Emeliya cheating on her with another woman, and became incredibly alone -- hurt by her father likewise considering a marriage to the piggish Derrick Angonos and his lusting father. House Angonos was significantly more powerful, after all -- while House Nyxis was not sworn to them, it would have likely resulted in House Angonos commanding House Nyxis, and by this point, Kaira's beauty was becoming more and more apparent by the day. Th young woman felt societal burden and sociocultural expectations weigh heavily upon her shoulders, and the pressure drove her to further devote herself to what little time she had left with her dying mother, a mother that she felt the clutch of a weak, shaky hand upon hers, that she felt her labored breathing with every hugging clasp. In the end, though, Kaira Nyxis experienced a personal tragedy like none other. On Kaira's sixteenth birthday, Kaira watched as the light went from her mother's eyes, and she went to join the God-Emperor of Mankind forever more. Kaira sobbed, agonized by her pain as her father grew far more cold, yet also terrified in secret. Kaira didn't know it, but her father did care for her; he was afraid of losing his only child, his only daughter, a daughter who he watched every cry and every smile with sorrow and with joy. In the end, as Kaira fast approached her seventeenth birthday, and thus, was being prepared for marriage to Derrick Angonos only less than two years later, there was a small ball held at House Nyxis' manor to celebrate this future union. Only, it did not go as planned -- Kaira Nyxis found herself cornered by Derrick Angonos in a room, found the worm-like grip of fat digits across her flesh, felt him attempting to snatch her away. But his attempted assault failed when her father found him in the throes of madness -- beaten to near death, House Angonos' "pride and joy" was banished from the manor forevermore, and Kaira Nyxis left deeply scarred by the experience and desiring no marriage. Yet, her father knew that with House Angonos having become an enemy now, he needed a suitable marriage for Kaira to avoid their house being targeted -- and House Botticelli, a strong Knightly House of Questor Imperialis with twelve Knights to its command, was the most suitable route. Kaira Nyxis was engaged once again to Matthis Botticelli; her childhood crush, and now, as viewed by Kaira, a brotherly figure, and one she loathed to tell the truth of to her suitor and to her overbearing father. In the end, now at eighteen years of age, and only a year away from marriage, Kaira Nyxis longs for freedom and an escape from her father's iron-clad grip around her throat, as well as the burden of marrying for duty and for alliance, rather than for love. In the end, Kaira Nyxis hopes to find an escape -- unaware of the coming conflict heading for Corinth's home system and her homeworld. Only time will tell whether she survives the coming storm, or perishes to the invading powers of Chaos and the Xenos...
