Character Profile: Nakita (v1)

Well, I must say, I got a little carried away with this one. This profile is much more detailed than the others. Regardless, I hope you find it interesting. I should update the other ones some time to be more extensive as well.

==========================================================

Character Profile:
Name: Nakita Balise
Sex: Female
Age: 24
Year of Birth: 1103 N.E.
Race: Human

Originally born in Telan, Nakita lived in the capital with her parents. However, at the age of eight, her mother, Lia, passed away due to illness. As the year went on, her father, Taren, who was one of the seven Grand Council members, began to fall apart over the loss of his beloved wife. He grew violent and obsessive by the time Nakita turned nine, and the Grand Council feared for the young sorceress' well-being. In an effort to spare her physical and psychological pain, they sent her to live in Rokan. In an effort to strengthen the relations between the two countries, King Marcus accepted Nakita with open arms, providing her a place to stay in the castle, along with classes and tutors for her studies.

However, the Telan Empire often remained isolated from neighboring countries, so it was rare for a full-blood to study in Rokan. Because of this, Nakita was frequently teased or ostracized from her peers, and her exceptional performance in her studies only made it worse. Many of her peers exploited her desperation for friends by using her to improve their scores, or simply to humiliate or harass her. All the while, rumors that her father had began practicing forbidden magic had spread. A few months after Nakita turned ten, the rumors proved to be true, as her father engineered what came to be know as the Great Plague, which occurred just before The Catheran Massacre.

Learning the truth of her father, Nakita's peers made sure her life was miserable. For two years she endured, until one day when one of her most frequent harassers was found nearly dead from extensive torture in a small cellar. Soon after, two more counts of similar incidents occurred. In merely two months, instead of being constantly harassed, she was feared. There was no proof that she was involved in those incidents, but everyone knew it was her doing.

A year later, after the victims had fully recovered, they banded together and attacked Nakita. Razelin found them while they were beating the sorceress, and quickly stopped them by calling for help. Despite Nakita's cold personality, Razelin persisted in protecting her and attempted to befriend her. Only after a year did Nakita begin to trust Razelin, and the two of them became close friends.

At the age of nineteen, Princess Lydia saw the sorceress practicing her water manipulation. Lydia held a strong interest in Nakita's water magic, and soon began visiting her to talk about sorcery and Undines. Two years later, on Lydia's eighteenth birthday, Nakita was requested to join the Royal Guard, to serve as Lydia's Guardian. With her new position, she began researching Undine essences, while serving her role in the Royal Guard by working closely with Razelin and Devin.
