Name: Nyssa
Age: About 19-20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Here
Personality:
Very quiet, very reserved. For the most part she greatly prefers being the loner. This is mainly because of how she had led her life prior to being found and altered for the cirque. After she went through the genetic alterations, unwillingly, of course, Nyssa found herself to grow more and more depressed daily. She hated getting up because she knew it'd involve long training hours. She rarely found an instance where she was smiling until she was formally introduced to Morpheusand requested to practice and form a routine with him. Once you break through that giant wall she's established, she's the sweetest.
Background History:
Nyssa was abandoned as a child. Left on a porch step by someone who simply couldn't take care of her, for whatever reason. Her foster parents found her and felt she was a blessing from above, because they themselves could not have children. They were extremely doting, often showering their precious daughter in affection and love. Although, it didn't last long. Things got complicated andher 'father' couldn't hold on to his job. At the age of six he was so sunken into his alcoholism that he blamed everything on her. He took her on a trip, telling her that they were going to go to the circus. At the time, Nyssa adored them and loved seeing the animals. Instead of going in, he left poor Nyssa there. All alone.
She waited to see if at least her 'mother' would come and find her but nobody had came. Afraid out of her mind, she hid in one of the performer's rooms and did her best with what was there to offer, stealing only doubles of the performer's items and bits of food here and there just so she could live. She hated it and cried nightly. She felt so unwanted, so unloved.
When the circus was starting to leave town, so did she, but unfortunately not with them. She hitched a ride to the nearest town and ended up taking on the life of a thief for a while, although she didn't like it. She was cunning and sneaky, often doing her best to make sure she'd get away. She kept up a life of thievery until the age of fifteen when she came in contact with a sort of dark cirque. She enjoyed it quite a lot. After the show was over and she was limbering up, the ringleader took notice of her and noticed how flexible she was.
He coaxed her into going with him, promising her a home, shelter and food. At first she declined and ran away. A year later she came in contact with the same ringleader and ended up taking the propsal, tired of living the way she was. The first thing she underwent was the genetic alteration, which both scared her and put her in pain because of the new, settling DNA within her. She grew fearful of everything and everyone around her, unsure of what to expect. That is, until she met Morpheus.
Fun Facts:
Her stage name is 'Madame Arache'.
Her eyes were originally a green but soon took an orange tinge to the bottom of them.
She has Morpheus do her makeup for her.
