Basics

Nickname(s): N/A
Race: Human
Age: 28
Gender: Female

Birthday: 63 Spring 491 AV
Birthplace: Sunberth

Current Location: Sunberth
Occupation: Prostitute, as well as any side jobs she can find if she needs the coin.

Organizations: The Daggerhand

Heirloom: Silver Holy Symbol (given from mother before she passed)

Appearance

Face Claim: Alba Galocha
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 87 lbs
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown

As she grew up, Nylah's father would tell her that she was growing into a spitting image of her mother. She is obviously underweight and shows a lifetime of malnutrition from living in Sunberth. But despite appearing weak (whether from malnutrition or being a young woman), she hides strength. Her hands, when examined closely, show calluses and old scars from brawls or fighting up-close with her dagger. Her ribs may be visible in her torso, but her arms show signs of strength-muscle.

As customary, she bears the thorn-circled dagger tattoo of the Daggerhand.

Postby Nylah Shepherd on June 24th, 2019, 9:22 pm

Personality

Strengths: Self-Confident, Independent, Responsible, Sociable
Weaknesses: Lack Control of Emotions, Short Temper, Standoffish, Impatient

Nylah is a woman who doesn't take crap from anyone. If you show her disrespect she'll show you the same. The only time she holds back her tongue is during work; she knows she'd lose all her money if she allowed her mouth to speak like her mind. However, if you show her respect and don't get on her bad side, she can show herself as a loyal friend. Like most in Sunberth, her life has been rough and she doesn't like it. She wants to make life better, even if just a little, for those she cares about.

History

Languages

Fluent: Common

History
Family :
Image Deirdre Shepherd, Step-Mother (Age 52) Forgery - 10; Musical Instrument, Harp - 25; Singing; 15 Like many others, Deidre has lived in Sunberth all her life and never quite managed to find her way out. She is kind-hearted and wise, always willing to give advice for those with a willing ear. Her family is the most important thing, and wants to keep them close to her out of safety.
Image Cassair Shepherd, Father (Age 57) Gambling - 5; Metalsmithing - 25; Weaponsmithing - 20 Once a respectable man and a caring father, Cassair is now addicted to gambling and drugs, only providing the bare minimum for his family. Nylah would rather see him dead.
Image Cian Shepherd, Brother (Age 26) Weapon: Bow - 20; Hunting 30 Cian used to be Nylah's best friend, before the twins were born. He left Sunberth completely when he was 17, having saved enough money for a simple board and sailed off into the unknown.
Image Shania Shepherd, Half-Sister (Age 16) Cooking - 35; Singing - 15 Shania is comparable to a mouse, in Nylah's eyes. She's softspoken, shy and rarely puts herself in the spotlight. She sings for money, but otherwise Nylah doubts she would ever leave the house.
Image Marcas Shepherd, Half-Brother (Age 16) Botany - 5; Medicine - 10; Philtering - 10; Poison - 25 Marcus recently got into the poison-brewing business, but always showed an interest in it. He's an outcast of sorts, secluding himself and experimenting instead of socializing.
Image Indra Vollis, Step-Sister (age 35) Botany - 20; Gardening - 10; Medicine - 10 Having been thirteen already when Deidre joined the Shepherd family, she was far too old to associate herself with Nylah and her siblings. She kept her old surname because it reminded her of her father who had passed away when she was young, even keeping it despite being married with a child herself now.
Image Toivo Shepherd, Step-Brother (Age 31) Intimidation - 10; Weapon: Greatsword - 25; Unarmed Combat - 15 A warrior at heart, trained since he could remember to travel as a mercenary-for-hire. He fulfilled that dream when he was 23, and has been traveling across the land since. Nylah was never close to him, even before he left.
Image Milita Shepherd, Step-Sister (Age 29) Seduction - 30; Subterfuge - 20 The closest of Deidre's children from her first marriage, Milita still doesn't interest Nylah. She too is a prostitute, but is vain and conceited. Nylah wonders if she's delusional, thinking she's not in Sunberth but perhaps in a noblewoman's life.

Nylah considers it a curse to of been born in Sunberth. She never understood why her parents decided to bring a child into the world through this city. She believes it would've been better if they had left the city, gone anywhere else, and had their children. The horrible conditions alone caused three miscarriages, and two infant deaths. Nylah was one of three children born from the same mother to actually survive infancy, but only two lived to adulthood.

The last child Nylah's mother was able to birth was her brother Cian. The stress of all the children she had lost so far took a toll on her body, and shortly after Cian's arrival into the world she passed on herself. This left their father to raise Nylah (who was six at the time), Logan (who was two) and now infant Cian.

Their father was not one to overestimate himself. He knew he alone couldn't take care of three children. He quickly found a new wife, who took care of the children with him along with her children from a previous marriage. However, in the winter of the following year, an illness spread across the family. Logan's illness was the harshest, and he did not live to see that spring.

When Nylah was twelve, her step-mother had managed to birth two surviving siblings: twins Shania and Marcas. Nylah was forced into a motherly position, taking care of her siblings alongside her step-mother. She absoulutely hated it. Before this, she and Cian were able to play together and have fun. Now she was stuck inside all the time, a young girl full of energy trapped within her home. Meanwhile, Cian was able to be his own person, making friends and spending most of his time away from home. He was learning to hunt, how to take care of himself independently. She was angry at him, angry at her step-mother.

Her father was becoming a worse figure in her life as well. He stopped working legitimately. He earned all his money through smuggling and even simply robbing and mugging people on the street. He only gave the bare minimum to the family, however. The rest was either lost through gambling or spend on drugs.

When the twins no longer depended on Nylah and their mother for everything, namely knew how to talk and use the restroom themselves, Nylah was finally able to be her own person again... though the later half of her childhood was taken from her. She was nineteen, a full-grown woman by now. She was expected to work for herself, move out, find a lover, start a family. But she didn't want any of that. She hated young children, having raised her twins and knowing what babies were like. She didn't want to marry a man and end up being stuck with someone like her father.

To get away from the pressures of her family, she moved out. She wanted to be alone, truly able to do what she wanted. But living on her own was harder than she realized, and she quickly fell to prostitution to make money while trying to learn life skills on the side.

When she was 24, she joined the Daggerhands gang. She focused on beating dues out of those who owed to the gang, or seducing them through her work. She saved up enough mizas over the years and last Winter, she bought herself a Kirapon dog, who she named Titan.
