Nyssa

appearance:

Nyssa is a female hybrid between human and strix. She has large golden eyes that reflect the moonlight, wings covered in dark brown feathers with white touches at the tips, and strong legs ending in claws, typical of a bird of prey. Her short, dark hair blends with the feathers on her neck, giving her a wild and mystical air. She wears a simple garment that covers her torso, revealing her agile and slim build, ideal for moving quickly through the skies.

Personality:

Nyssa is curious, protective, and though she tends to keep to herself, she has a warm heart. She is wary of humans due to histories of hunting and prejudices towards hybrids like herself, but those who earn her trust will discover a loyal ally. She is independent, with a strong sense of justice, and tends to protect both the forest and those who stray into it.

History:

Nyssa was born under the light of a full moon, deep in an ancient forest where magic still flows through the trees. Her mother is said to have been a strix, a nocturnal bird with human intelligence, and her father a human traveler lost in the forest. From her mother she inherited her wings and her connection to the night; from her father, her curiosity about the human world. Since she was a child, Nyssa lived among the trees, learning to fly and survive with the guidance of the forest spirits. However, she always felt an inexplicable attraction to human settlements in the distance, fascinated by the lights and sounds of civilization. Despite her fascination, Nyssa avoided direct contact, fearing rejection for her hybrid appearance. One day, while exploring the edges of the forest, Nyssa found a lost and frightened boy. Instead of running away from her, the little boy reached out his hand to her, trusting her big, kind eyes. It was then that Nyssa understood that not all humans were afraid of the unknown. From that moment on, she began to approach travelers who ventured into the forest, helping them when they were in trouble or simply watching them from the shadows. Today, Nyssa remains an enigmatic figure. Some see her as a protective spirit, others as a myth, but they all agree on one thing: if you hear the soft flutter of wings in the night, it may be Nyssa, watching you from the darkness.
