Nica Aelthasdottir
-
Nica is a tall and trim blonde with green eyes and a shapely figure. With her high cheekbones and full lips, she might even be considered something of a beauty, though makes little effort to emphasize her looks. She seems more comfortable out of the spotlight, often lingering in the outskirts of a crowd or gathering. There's a thoughtful reserve in Nica's gaze and a careful controlled quality to the way she moves. She's soft-spoken but not timid, speaking her mind when and if she so wishes with a quiet assertion. In the company of family and close friends, she's considerably less reserved and her usually solemn air replaced by warm humour and teasing wit. In combat, Nica is nothing if not certain, moving with the practiced ease and rythm of a dancer, each strike swift, fluid and powerful.

Recognizable Features: Stylized wolves in black and red ochre chase each other's tails in a band across her biceps, the tattooes tribal in design. A second tattoo is inked in indigo on her forearm, depicting a wolf looking up at a moonlit sky. This tattoo shifts magically when Nica so desires, changing to a howling werewolf against the rising full moon.
Commonly spoken languages: Common, Damaran
Race: Human
Equipment Worn: A dark green tight-fitting outfit, coupled with an unusual metal belt and a helmet seemingly fashioned from a dragon's claw. Across her shoulders rests the most striking of Nica's equipment - a mantle seemingly cut from the night sky itself. Stars and galaxies swirl and drift across the dark void of the mantle, growing dimmer or brighter according to Nica's mood or desires. Finishing off her fighting ensemble is a pair of heavy-duty combat gloves and midnight blue paw-like boots which shimmer in moonlight.
Equipment Carried: A single kama at her hip complements Nica's fighting equipment, alongside a sling and a satchel with an assortment of supplies.

Jewelry or Decorations: Always an opal-encrusted ring with an engraved eye on her left hand, while the right hand wears a platinum band. Around her neck, a protective amulet bearing the seal of the Red Knight.
Relatives: Nica is the daughter of Aelthas Benthur and Lycka Zomasdottir, and anyone who knew her grandmother Ragnhild will note a strong family resemblance. Jonni is her elder brother and Siri her identical twin sister. Their baby brother bears Lycka's father's name, Zoma.
Body Build: Fit and athletic, with a feminine figure and long, strong legs.
