Nyx grew up in an drought-ridden village where her loud, headstrong attitude was viewed as a detriment to the quiet, nervous populace that were far too worried about rationing water to put up with a fussy child. The moment she was old enough to leave, she went to the nearest city, learned of P'yexharsus' immediate results, paid her toll to gain control over water itself, and wheeled back into her village, promptly flooding it with freshwater. The joy that she brought to her hometown only emboldened her stubborn attitude, and she quickly grew a reputation of not only thinking through things only once, but being extraordinarily lucky. Due to the process in which she became a mer, Delwyn sought her out the moment he learned of her and, over the course of a night of her teasing the idea of joining the group (and the use of Kev's talented mouth), she accepted the offer and became the next member of the party.
