Nisvassa Aster

[Nisvassa Aster]

Nisvassa Aster (Nis) Appearance Race: Symenestra Gender: Female Age: 22 Birthday:28, Winter, 491 Birthplace: Zeltiva Appearance: Standing at 5’1, Nisvassa is on the short side of her race. She has short and choppy hair, with swooping white bangs that she continuously has to move out of her golden eyes. Her skin is nearly as white and ashey as her hair, dotted with freckles across her cheeks and nose. Given more than a passing glace, an intricate network of greyish veins can be seen just under her skin. Her veins have always been where her insecurities lie, thinking that they show way too much. She keeps her claws on the shorter side than most of her species, though they remain sharp. Meanwhile, Nis has a small, nimble build. Her longer arms and light structure aid her in speed, making her small yet fast. Her speed is required for survival, due to her fragile body. All around she’s a decent looking girl with nothing overly extravagant about herself. The only exception being how prevalent her veins are.

Character Concept Nisvassa is about as shy as they come. She’s not one to say more than absolutely required of her, and what she does say is mumbled out quickly and quietly. Nis tries to make herself small as possible, her scarf hiding as much of her face as she can get. Half to appear smaller, and half to hide her overly apparent veins. On occasions she can’t use her scarf, she will use as much make-up as necessary to hide her veins. Nisvassa has next to no confidence, hating her appearance and her race. She would do anything to be human. Along with her insecurities on her appearance, she’s horribly guilty of blaming herself for any small problem she has to face, even those out of her control. In a bit of a contradictory of herself, Nis is truly desperate to have someone care about her, in any way shape or form. Most symenestra focus heavily on giving birth, continuing their race. But having children is the last thing on Nis’ mind, she would be forever grateful just to have a friend. Her mind is a consistent battle of trying to hide herself from everyone and wanting people to get to know her. If someone ever managed to get her to open up, they would find she has a heart big as her love of plants. Perhaps dancing on the line of clingy, she would give all she could for someone who showed any sort of affection to her. The amount of love she has stored up over the years is tightly capped. But get that cap off and Nis is an explosion of compassion. She truly would give up anything and everything for that one person. It should also be noted she has horrible fears of public speaking and snakes, her fear of snakes in turn causing her to be terrified of Dhani. Beliefs Rak’eli: Nisvassa has always felt a slight pull towards the goddess of healing, and most of her faith lies within Rak’eli. Nis does want to devote more of herself to the goddess, in hopes of understanding and eventually being able to heal. For now she relies on herbs to aid her, but some day Nis aims to receive the goddesses gnosis. Deep down, Nis knows the only way she will ever achieve that is through gaining confidence in herself, something she’s never been good at. Viratas: Darvor, Nisvassa’s father, has always been very adamant about Viratas and what they stand for. While he has continuously encouraged Nis to be devoted, Darvor made sure she understood that she had the freedom to place her beliefs where she wished. While Nisvassa does highly respect Viratas, she has never felt completely devoted. Goals Her current goal is to advanced her academics as much as possible, in hopes of becoming a Herbalist. Deep down, she does wish to be marked by Rak’eli, and be granted the gnosis of healing. However, being mark is more of a long-term goal, which she currently has little focus on. Another one of her goals is to develop a relationship, of any kind, with anyone. She has little care in regards to romantic or platonic, just someone. As a type of side goal, Nis wants to work on her fear of public speaking, though she should probably work on speaking in general first.

Character History NIsvassa Aster was born on the 28th of Winter, in the year 491. Both her parents were full Symenstras. While Nis herself doesn’t know much about her parents past, she does know two things. Her mother didn't survive the birth, and her father blames her for it. Darvor Aster is one of the few farmers in Zeltiva and even fewer Symenestra farmers. After the death of his wife, Sanisa, Darvor took out much of his grief on his daughter, Nis. He would continuously push her to the brink in regards of farm work, with little to no recognition for it. It was rare Nis would have a conversation with him beyond what her next task was or how she messed up on her previous task. If you were to task Darvor, he would immediately claim he was giving his daughter a good work ethic, and that he was simply getting her ready for the real world. “Life is not going to reward you, life will never stop pushing, so why should I, the one who must get her ready for life itself, do anything but that itself?” As a result, you could say that Nis’ confidence is roughly negative ten. She hates the fact she is Symenestra, and would do anything the great gods asked of her to be human. She deeply blames her father for her insecurities, do to her lack of praise as a child. Much of her childhood had been spent by herself. On top of her distant relationship with her father and no siblings, few kids would be willing to play with a Symenestra, or their parents wouldn’t allow it. It was reasonable in hindsight, considering the whole deathly venom thing. Without anyone to really have relationship with, Nis learnt how to keep herself company. Spending most of her time in the fields, she also developed a great understanding of the crops and plants around her. She would give names to different types of weeds she saw. Whenever she had time off, she would run to the edge of her farm, and examine the flora there. When she was roughly ten, she tried to run her own little flower garden, which ended up getting destroyed in a rough storm. Still, Nis developed a great interest in plants, and when she discovered plants could have healing properties, she was determined to become a Herbalist. Regardless of how he treated his daughter, Darvor did truly care about preparing her for life. Since Nis was born, Darvor has saved money on the side for her, and once she was of age, gave her the money she would need to attend university, and live life in the city. During the Holidays when she was 19, her father quickly became ill. Nisvassa tried her hardest to get in contact with a healer, but by the time she had found one willing to come out to the farmlands, it was too late. One of those ill stricken days, her father told her where he had kept his savings. After her fathers’ passing, Nis tried to keep up the farm as long as she could, but she could not manage it on her own. She sold the farm to pay off debts, and moved to the city using her father’s savings. Today, she is working as a doctor's assistant. Still, she aims to take classes in hopes of becoming a herbalist, and if she ever got recognized by Rak’eli, a healer.
