Nika Feld

'​Oh but isn't it marvelous?'

Nika was a Tiefling Bard played by Naomi.

Biography
Her Mother took part in a sorcerer's ritual that went wrong, she escaped with her life but found that she and her unborn child were tainted. Fearing the wrath of the church, she left her rather affluent life behind and fled to Khurzak where she was welcomed into the community of Provst to act as a teacher of language for the children. Not wanting her daughter to bear an Imperial name, she named the child Nika after the midwife.

Despite her strange appearance and stranger magic, Nika has earned respect within the community and uses her talents to assist the village and help it flourish.

During one particularly harsh winter, an incident occurred where most of the inhabitants of Provst vanished for almost two days. They returned just as mysteriously with two members missing. The druid Mikas, a guardian of the town, told a story of how Nika and her friend Czesława joined the faerie court of Autumn to be able to defeat the dark things that had stolen the townsfolk away. The cost was that they were now part of the court forever.

Appearance
Horned, blue-skinned and with large, flat golden eyes, Nika would have turned heads even without the elaborate clothes, jewellery and makeup she always wore.

Personality
Extremely chipper and light-hearted, she tried everything she could to keep the spirits up of those around her. It was surprising then for many to discover her strong ties to necromantic magic which she had a natural inclination towards. She did her best to use the typically dark magic for good.
