NYLA ANNABELLE KORVICH
FEMALE | PANSEXUAL |
NINETEEN | MUTANT |
appearance
The most striking feature of Nyla is by far is her radiant yellow eyes that were created by the effects of Maras on her body. She wears dark mascara (when she can get her hands on some) to make her yellow eyes pop. Maras also granted her fox-like ears and tail that match her blonde hair colour alongside a pair of fangs. Due to days of remaining indoors playing video games and drawing, Nyla has a pale skin pigment. When Nyla can manage to grab some hair dye, and she does try, she will often dye a section of her bangs a different colour since she believes it looks absolutely rad. Long hair is not Nyla’s forte, she prefers to keep her blonde hair short and it’s often kept tidy. Her hair is naturally straight and usually is slightly longer in the front and shorter in the back. When it comes to clothing, Nyla absolutely adores anything that looks cute, especially when it is her favourite colour. When it comes to Nyla’s body type, she’s pretty slender and better suited for running rather than fighting. She can be rather nimble and very flexible, thus she can still get into pretty tight spaces despite her taller frame. Often times Nyla can be found with bruises and cuts on her face since at times she can be rather careless and end up hurting herself. Usually she will wear pink nail polish if she can ever find some.
personality
Although she may not look the part, Nyla is quite the tomboy and doesn’t mind getting a little dirty. She's rather boyish with her demeanor and tends to be prone to roughhousing since she finds it enjoyable. Her tomboy attitude has only increased a bit more during the apocalypse since it's almost mandatory for Nyla to get her hands dirty. Most people notice instantly that Nyla loves to be around people and generally talk to others. She considers herself a professional in the art of conversation, but that's false since she tends to ramble and get a little loud. Fortunately she does have one conversational based trait working well for her. Nyla is very good at reading what others want and can often persuade them into various activities for her or joining her on a fun adventure. She does tend to have a habit of speaking sarcastically and stating her opinions no matter the circumstances. This energetic girl absolutely adores adventuring and learning new things, making her brave enough to try knew things. She especially loves meeting new people so long as they’re not mean and dangerous.
When it comes to those on good terms, Nyla is often highly loyal and protective of them. This is especially apparent with her little sister, Ines, who she protects with fierce loyalty. She's brave when it comes to protecting those she cares about and is willing to sacrifice her own well-being. She’ll act recklessly and sometimes do rather careless acts to keep her loved ones safe, especially Ines. However, she would prefer not to since Nyla feels that her little sister needs her. It's easy to tell how close knit Nyla is with her sister since she usually rude to most people, but her sister is spared of her rude words. She adores her little sister to the point that Nyla considers her one of the very few lights in the apocalypse. Nyla has a tendency to believe that she’s correct and her strong-will often causes her to go along with her plan. Her motivation to meddle doesn’t help at all with this trait because she feels she knows best. When plans go wrong, Nyla does take full responsibility and will not deny being incorrect in her judgement. Constantly she makes sure her works get done and that Ines is well cared for since she’s cared for her sister around when she was a mere 16 years of age.
Generally, Nyla is very honest and values honesty as trait among others. Deceit is simply found to be unnecessary to her and she’ll often find herself hating those who try to use it. Some other good things to note about Nyla is that she’s both ambitious and competitive. When there is a goal to get to, she will most definitely work towards it and attempt to beat any competition that comes in her way. Her competitive attitude is mostly seen when she is playing video games with friends. She simply enjoys winning alongside an awesome challenge to keep her entertained for a few hours. Most people find out extremely quickly that Nyla is a pretty intelligent individual; her marks were often very high in school. She finds that most subjects are easy and can often learn new skills very quickly. Lastly, she’s very creative since from a young age she has enjoyed various forms of art. Drawing, painting, music, she absolutely adores all of it and can often pick out many features from the pieces and understand their meanings at a fast pace.
abilities
Nyla is a mutant, thus she has no super cool abilities. Although, due to her ears being altered her hearing has improved and she has similar hearing abilities to that of a fox.
background
Newfoundland was where Nyla was originally born to her rather young mother at the time. Her mother was a mere 19 when she was pregnant then 20 when she gave birth to her daughter. Thankfully, Nyla's father was a good man and assisted with the infant whenever he could. The young couple reacted like any young couple taking care of an infant would and often acted a tad over-protective of their child. From a young age, Nyla was brought up around art since both her parents were very artistically centered. Their jobs were artsy, their home and even some of their relatives loved art. Thus from when she was young, Nyla found herself loving the world of art. Music, painting, writing, drawing and whatever else were all activities she grew to appreciate and adore.
School was breeze for Nyla due to her intellect and she passed her courses 90s and excelled even in the word of sports. She played hockey, soccer, baseball and lacrosse during her first few years of school. As expected though, her true passion was both art and music which made her a frequent visitor to any events involving those topics. She had a small circle of friends that consisted of nerds which generally made her happy.
When Nyla was 11 her younger sister, Ines, was born. Nyla did her best to behave around that time, but things got difficult when she got mixed up with popular people. Most of her nerdy friends had moved or switched schools which had granted her acceptance into the popular clique. It was easy to say Nyla did not like being involved with them. Their chatter never consisted of video games and often only entitled gossip alongside the talk of parties. Alas, these were the only people to allow her in, which was probably mostly due to her cute appearance at the time.
Years went on and eventually Nyla got a boyfriend at 16. He was a real jerk and often times Nyla spent her spare time thinking of how to breakup with him. Yet, that did not seem to matter after a while. It was New Years and her parents were going to attend a party. Naturally, Nyla was up late waiting for midnight and the return of her parents who stated they would not be long so they could spend some time with her and Ines. The last thing Nyla expected was a knock at the door and a police officer standing there. Her parents would not be coming home since they died in a car crash.
At that moment it felt like Nyla's world shattered, but the teen did her best to keep herself together. She had a little sister to take care of which led to one of the most difficult things Nyla had to do. She had to tell Ines that their parents were not coming home ever again. One of her grandparents came to help out. The funeral was difficult for Nyla to attend, the people who had been in her life for 16 years were gone. She was told that she would be moving across the country with her sister to live with their uncle. Before she left, she broke up with her boyfriend when she entered an emotional rage.
Arriving in Nootau suggested good hopes and Nyla tried her best to be optimistic. Yet, her lazy uncle shattered her hopes instantly. The guy and his wife practically never cared for Ines to the point where Nyla was raising her alone. She didn't even trust them to watch Ines for an hour or any babysitter they may choose. Nyla's social life became small and often only occurred at school and her part time waitress job, which was something she had to get to help her and Ines get by. She became known as the "workaholic" of the school since she always used work as an excuse to not attend parties or other outings. She constantly kept Ines around her, protecting her sister was necessary.
After graduating, Nyla was unable to attend post-secondary schooling due to the fears that her uncle and his wife would not care for Ines. Post-secondary was seen as something that could wait until Ines was older and Nyla could afford an apartment and care for both of them. There was no possibility that Nyla was going to leave her little sister there alone. Later in the year, Nyla began to some art for commission and singing for various establishments in Nootau to make some extra cash.
When the talk of bombs started, Nyla became increasingly protective of her little sister. She remember how tensions ran high and how the politicians only seem to get more irritable with every passing day. Nyla remembered doing dishes to her music when suddenly the sirens sounded. She immediately went to fetch her sister and began weaving through the cluttered streets towards the nearest bunker. After a while Nyla realized they were not going to make it and brought Ines into a building to hide beneath the counter. Nyla was scared and her sister clung to her a majority of the time until falling asleep. She stayed alert and awake for a while to the point where she heard and felt the explosion before she passed out.
Waking up from the strange slumber since Nyla woke to find that she had gained fox-like ears alongside a bushy tail. Her upper two canines had grown a little longer and were sharper. Lastly, her eyes were a bright yellow. She felt panicked at first, but these mutations were far better than being dead. Although her sister did not have mutations initially she began to grow them. From that day forth, each choice because about protecting Ines. It was mandatory and Nyla was more than happy to oblige.
