Nimue Profile

[Nimue]

~Physical Description~

 

*Elven Form*

 

Nimue is a young elven woman. She stands approximately 5'7" tall and weighs around 140 pounds. Her ice blue eyes, when looked at closely, give the illusion of water freezing. This intriguing dance of crystals has been known to mesmerize their onlookers. Her hair, which falls midway down her back, is a very light shade of blond. This shade of blond is so light that at times her hair may appear almost white.

 

She is normally concealed within a full-circle cloak, deep purple in colour. But for those lucky enough to catch this young maiden, without her knowing of their presence, she can be seen without her 'security blanket' wrapped around her. At these rare moments, her shown wardrobe is that of a tight, sleeveless shirt, laced up both sides and a lengthy skirt slit up both sides almost to her hips. Both are made of black materials, which have been known to give her a rather ghostly appearance.

 

*Esper Form*

 

Her skin, pale blue in colour, has small swirls and intricate patterns of ice crystals adhered across its surface. Her strong posture seems to add an intimidating presence that cannot be ignored; her eyes a swirling storm of snow to match her consuming temper. A slight mist rises from her body as though having come out from a steaming bath and her hair; encased in strands of ice gives the illusion of dreadlocks.

 

The elegance and flow of her movements surpasses even that of the most elegant elf. As she steps she leaves behind icy footprints imbeaded upon the ground. But onlookers beware. She may be captivating to the eye, but she doesn't take kindly to strangers in this form.

~History~

 

As you may have noticed, Nimue is not a traditional elf. She was born with the gift of magic. Since she was a small child, she has been able to freeze things at will. She also has a rare and very unique ability of healing. Where she had inherited such powers is unknown to her. She is unaware of the origins of which she had ascended from, having been raised by humans since she was the age of 4.

 

She had watched in horror as her home had burnt down to the ground, leaving her alone in the world. She had been fortunate enough that a small group of travelers had come across her just a few days following the fire. They had fed and clothed her, even adopted her as one of their own. Needless to say, she acts more human then elf. Although, she still has a few characteristics that set her apart from the humans, such as her strong attachment and understanding with nature. Her unmistakable almond shaped eyes and her pointed ears are also another trait that set her apart from those around her. There was also something very unique about her, something that no one could explain nor did they attempt to in the first place. Most of those around her stayed a fare distance away, calling her hurtful names and often cursing at her. Most believe she was a drow and not an elf, but really she was neither. Sure she looked like an elf, but deep down she was something else…she just didn't know it yet.

~Magical Abilities~

 

*Elven Form*

 

She has a rapid healing ability taken from both her elven and esper characteristics. This is an ablility that happens instantaneously when ingured; much concentration must be used to heal another being. Her skin is cool to the touch almost freezing. She must be conscious of her actions because of her low body temperature as she is capable of freezing liquids while holding them in confined objects.

 

*Esper Form*

 

For those of you unfamiliar with this type of esper I'll give a little info here. (taken from Final Fantasy 3/6 for those who know it.) An Esper is a being a pure magic. If magic no longer existed, espers would no longer be able to live. Being a being of pure magic they are capable of absorbing magic of similar elements of themselves without harm bieng done. Nimue, being an ice elementalist, is capable of absorbing: water, wind, ice and air elements. All other elements (aside from fire) cause little damage as they are absorbed, fire element causing a harmful amount of damage as it is absorbed.

 

Her healing capabilities are amplified in this form as is her capability to freeze water by touch and at her will as her body temperature is well below freezing in this form. When consentrating she can cause a storm from the calmest weather. All of her 'magic use' is all by will, no spells needed.
