Nyx

Nyx (ニュクス, Nyukusu) is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Fates and an ally on the Nohr Route. 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. Prior to the start of the game, Nyx worked as a fortune-teller. In her youth, she was a prodigy in dark magic arts, and tested her abilities on people for fun. Many people died due to her actions and her guilty conscience grew rapidly. As punishment, an unbreakable curse was inflicted upon her, causing her to be unable to age. In her support conversations with Xander she reveals that she had suicidal thoughts during this time and was very depressed, hiding herself away from the world.

She does not expect the curse to be gone. Instead, she is on a quest to find 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.
