Traveling has led me to many cities, few of which have left an impression on me. Vikela however was different, at the gates I was greeted by a charming man with many titles though I would begin to just call him Walter. He spoke to me about his work in alchemy and his running list of talents. We spoke of art and its many forms, about the practice of alchemy and a few of the potions he brewed. I will admit I lack the knowledge to fully appreciate such a creation but they were still impressive to me. Later in the day we had to aid a blind cowboy in the town. We all made our way to the city’s tavern where I had bought the cowboy a drink as an apology for my embarrassing rudeness towards him. Believe it or not but Walter even worked as a bartender, A master of many skills it seemed. We spoke of life and its future, of his past, and joked about his numerous titles and jobs. He even was kind enough to be my second client. I told him I never forget a face and by the moon did I mean it. I hope he appreciates my work as much as I appreciated his time. Perhaps in the future I will settle down in Vikela, have that wine on my balcony during a star-filled night like I told him I wished to. I guess we'll just have to see what the fates have in store for me.

The first time I stepped foot in Númendil, an Olog nearly ran into me. All I could do was look up at his hulking size frozen in fear, in hindsight that was rather rude of me. Logically I was safe in such a public place right? Yet I shook like a wet kitten. Bless his patience, The first words out of my mouth were an exclamation of his size like I was some rude child. After trying to calm my nerves we exchanged names, Raug was his. He shook my hand rather softly considering his hand dwarfed mine in size, he could have easily broken every bone in my poor appendage if he so pleased. We surprisingly began to chat, talk of our interests and ventures. We even joked a bit. I learned Raug was a fellow artist who made statues, and we chatted about art surprisingly well. To think I was shaking in fear when we first locked eyes… He was polite, well spoken, and even humorous! I was happy to consider him a friend. When we went to part I asked if I could use his likeness for a portrait. The look of delight on his face was priceless, though his smile was still a bit intimidating. Painting people that don’t look like me has been so eye opening and inspiring. I hope to make more art of people of all walks of life just as I did with Raug. And I hope Raug enjoys his portrait as much as he enjoyed the idea of one.

Thank you!!!! I worked so hard on her drawings 😭😭😭

OUTFIT: Black leotard with a diamond chest cutout, white puffed shoulders with lace sleeves that attach to half gloves, sheer black tights with small gems sewn into them to add a sparkle, white ribbon shoes that wrap up around the waist and trail down the legs to their feet to add support (tied in a bow in the back), ruby colored nail polish, ruby lipstick, and a dark purple eye shadow. OCCUPATION: Traveling Artist MARITAL STATUS: Married BIO Born and raised in Nor-velyth, Nixira never once traveled from her home. Nor-velyth is all she knows and all she ever wished to, until recently. Nixira always possessed a great skill to create, Her parents helped her nurture that skill into the professional artist she is today. Nixira used to do portraits for families, pets, wannabe royals. She had it all, her profession, a comfortable home, a fiance. Then all her dreams and ambitions were ripped out of her hands when her fiance had broken it off with her. Nixira was crushed by the news, her whole life flipped on its head, she couldn't even paint like she used to. Her muse was gone and no matter what she did, she couldn't get it back. In a dire last attempt to get her muse back, Nixira packed her bags and left her home to follow the moon and find creativity wherever she can. PERSONALITY ALIGNMENT: Lawful Neutral PERSONALITY: Snobby | Nixira is accustomed to the comfortable life leaving her rather stuck up and snobby. She will often complain about mud, dirt, bugs, you name it. This really shows in her outfit being more for show than practicality. Neurotic | Nixira is a very high strung individual, easily becoming nervous or anxious over the smallest tasks. This is in part a side effect of her perfectionism, wanting to be the perfect version of herself at all times and not taking criticism well. Perfectionist | As an artist it comes as no surprise Nixira suffers from being a perfectionist, every brush stroke has to be just right or the whole painting is ruined. She will not settle for anything less than perfect, running herself ragged trying to get her paintings up to her standards. Bashful | Despite her showmanship and intimacy of her profession, Nixira is easily flustered or embarrassed. Compliments making her trip over her words and praises making her burn a deep shade of purple. Stubborn | Nixira is insanely stubborn, never backing down from a challenge and never giving up on her goals. She powers through burn out and any wall in her way. Romantic | She will never admit to it but Nixira is a romantic, she falls easily for people and yearns dearly for someone to express her love with. this is a double edged sword however as break ups tend to leave her in shambles Naive | Due to her sheltered upbringing Nixira tends to be less assuming about people and holds a bit of a blind innocence to the world and the horrors in it.
