Character Name: Nill
Character Age: 18/19; she has about 4 years of CRAU under her belt and picked her birthday herself (Sept. 20).
Character Species: Genetically-modified human.
Character Details: Nill is a smol bean clocking in at about 5'4", and she has equally small, white-feathered wings growing out of her back. They are too small for her to use to fly, but they help her keep her balance in precarious situations. Nill is also mute, which is a byproduct of her genetic modifications, but knows American Sign Language. From her Meadowlark CRAU, she has a "piece of a god" inside her, which gives her the ability to manipulate density, and also causes her chest to glow with a blue light when she uses her powers.
Character Summary: cw: mentions of physical and sexual abuse of a minor, violence
Winscott, Heaven (heavenwinscott). “My toxic trait? I want to face everything on my own because I don’t want to feel like I’m burdening people with my problems or struggles.” August 19, 2018, 2:41 PM. Tweet.
Nill likes to help people, full stop. She tries to tell herself she doesn't, but if she sees someone in need, she'll always help them out if it's in her power to do so. The counterpoint to that is that she's really bad at accepting any help offered to her! She has become pretty morally gray in her teen years, partly because the first instance of kindness ever shown to her was a dude killing another dude on her behalf. If it helps, it helps! The past few years of dimension-hopping have left her a little jaded and kinda bitter at TPTB for jerking her around the universe, but she's really good at keeping that all inside.

She's always wanted her life to be simple and uncomplicated, but it turns out the universe decided everything has to be painful and messy for her instead. She has survived sexual and physical abuse, more shootouts than she can count, explosions, spaceshipwrecks, kidnappings, and a few save-the-world-type battles. All of this has left her a little jumpy and extremely cautious, and she always likes to take her time making decisions, trying to see a situation from every angle before jumping in. The exception to this is if she sees someone in immediate danger, which will turn off the self-preservation part of her brain and turn on the throw-myself-into-danger-to-save-them part.

She's in the midst of her Rebellious Teen™ phase (she's a late bloomer), but is on the path to figuring out what kind of person she actually wants to be. At this point, that pretty much includes settling down somewhere in a place where nobody would bother her, where she can cook for the people she loves and tend a little garden. Is that so much to ask??? Apparently, yes.

Further information can be found on her app page!

Character Role: Familiar; she manifests as a hainu.
Character Role Deets: Nill already likes to help other people, and I think she'd be a great familiar for either a Myth or a Legend because of her tendency to see situations from every angle! The only problem will be convincing her to accept such an intimate bond, when she already has such a hard time opening up to people she considers friends.
Character Living Quarters: In a burrow in Lapine! Check out her housing here.
Character Schools: She is attending Amrita Academy as basically a freshman in college. She is majoring in herblore, foraging, and horticulture. Check out her page here!
Day to Day Life: Nill is still getting settled, but will eventually get a job a The Prancing Pony in Willow. She worked as a line cook in a pc-run bar in Meadowlark, and will promote herself to bartender (tavern wench?) at TPP.

Current Mindset/Health: Nill is in fairly good physical and mental health! She just got here so she's kind of cautious, but is willing to explore the area so she can feel more comfortable. She has spent a few years hopping between dimensions, so this is nothing new for her (except it's really all new).
Recent Developments: She learned about gender and sexuality at the parades and also got her ass handed to her a few times in this month's trial :') But she mostly had a good time!
Goals For Your Character: Short-term goals include enrolling her in school and getting a job because she is really bad at sitting still and doing nothing. Long-term goals include having her realize that making friends is okay, even if they might not stay around forever. She'll also probably slowly take up training with knife-fighting again, and might be convinced to have a sparring partner or two.
Problems With Your Character: Having just learned about the bond a Myth/Legend can make with a Familiar (thanks, Dirk) she is sort of not pumped for that! Nill is a private person, and values her personal autonomy. The idea of linking up psychically with someone is scary for her (because of the Trauma), and it'll take some work for her to be okay with doing so. At this time, she has pretty much decided to Never Do That.

Wanted CR: Anything! Nill still struggles with having Feelings™, and is prone to getting attached to other people pretty quickly even if she tries not to. She's a friendly person, and likes to help out other people whenever she can. Any kind of family figures (parental, cool aunt, siblings, weird cousins, etc.) are welcome. She has a tendency to latch on to people who make her feel safe, so anyone who might do that would be cool.
Unwanted CR: N/A, give it to me, baby.
Open/Closed to New CR: Gathers you all up into my arms, let's be friends.
