Nyx

"I am no "young lady", and I neither require nor desire your paltry protection."

- Nyx

Nyx (ニュクス, Nyukusu) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Fates and an ally in the Conquest and Revelation Routes. She is voiced by Juri Kimura in the Japanese version. Said to be the most understanding of women, Nyx's birthday is February 17th.

Profile
Nyx was born to a family of talented mages in Nohr. She was a prodigy in Dark magic arts, as was the rest of her family, but quickly became too powerful. As a result, she started testing her abilities on people for fun, killing many innocent civilians. Her guilty conscience began to grow, however, and she stopped. As punishment, an unbreakable curse was inflicted upon her, causing her to be unable to age. However, in her support conversation with Leo she claims that she can see her grown body in the reflection of water. In her support conversations with Xander she reveals that she was suicidal following the initial time after she was cursed and was very depressed, hiding herself away from the world. However, she decided that she wanted to live to atone for her crimes, and has since strived to overcome her past.

Nyx is very fond of reading books as revealed in her supports with Kaze. Secretly, she is an avid reader of romance novels. In her My Room quotes, Nyx reveals that the marks on her forehead and cheeks are designed to reflect curses.

She does not expect the curse to dispel, however, she seeks the The Mirror of Truth, the relic that reflects a person's true appearance.

Chronologically, she states that she is an older woman, much older than the Avatar at least.

Personality
Despite her youthful appearance, Nyx has, in fact, an intellect and wisdom belonging to a mature woman. A pessimistic individual by nature, Nyx views life rather bleakly, constantly failing to view it through a filter of optimism. This is not without a cause, however; as earlier mentioned, this is owing to her framing her entire life around an innate desire to atone for her crime of killing innocents for sport. This desire is especially evident whenever she participates in battles, where the quotes she utters revolve around her constantly reminding herself that her every action is part of her "punishment".

As a result of her desire to atone for her sin, Nyx in turn transformed into a social recluse, choosing to isolate herself from society, only interacting with others when she deems it necessary for her to do so.
