Nadia Rizzo

Alias: N/A

Gender: Female

Race/Species: Lampades Nymph

Age: 29, fully mature, ageless.

Profession: Mother of one for the present.

Description: Nadia has pale skin from a lack of being exposed to the sun. Her eyes are inhuman, they have pure black sclera with violet irises and silver pupils. Her hair is perhaps her most interesting feature. It's quite long, almost reaching the middle of her back. The hair itself appears to be made of of many tiny strand of some red liquid if one looks very closely. It's hard to pick out individual strands except for where the liquid drifts and moves slowly like hair underwater. Encircling her head is a band of knotted silver strands with a silver disc settling in the center. Her body is lean and somewhat muscular, the result of manual labour while still mortal. Her has a nice figure, but often doesn't bother to show it off. She prefers casual or working clothing that even hides her body. As of late, however, she's began wearing much more flattering clothing.

Personality: Nadia is a friendly enough person and fairly happy. She doesn't have too many worries and it shows in her demeanor most of the time. The notable exception is anything regarding romantic relationships. However, since starting to date Irena, she's grown far more comfortable with the topic as she embraces her sexuality.

Equipment:

Abilities: Nadia has sworn an oath that grants her a measure of power over water. She can control and manipulate it at will and feel it's flow as if it's a part of her. This is especially true for blood, both hers and that of those around her.

Nadia has a couple abilities that come with being a lampades. She can jump through one flame and emerge through another over short distances. She is also completely immune to fire.

As a result of her pregnancy with the child of the goddess Tlazolteotl, Nadia has manefested a number of traits and abilities that fall under the goddess' domain: Scorpions, deserts, beauty, mothers.
  • Scorpions: Attract and control scorpions, turn into a scorpion, immune to scorpion venom (which instead has a positive effect), manifest scorpion poison in her mouth.
  • Deserts: Access to a personal sanctuary by turning the doorknob on any door three times to the left. It is a small oasis where the sand is white and the water is red. There Nadia can wield all of Tlazolteotl's power.
  • Beauty: Slowly and subtly shift the construction of a building to meet her own desires.
  • Mothers: If any child of hers is in danger, she will be able to feel it and summon super-human strength, speed and endurance for a time. A mark on her right that appears to be a black heart shaped shield represents this.

Backstory: Nadia had a fairly normal life growing up. Well, normal for a resident of Gul-Thadar, which is a city of vampires. She was an only child and grew up with her parents. Soon after leaving high school she joined the construction industry and has been working there ever since.

Society, along with her family and friends, were not very accepting of homosexuality. Thus, Nadia has been in the closet about her own sexuality. Aside from one close friend, no one knows. Perhaps they thought it odd that she never dated and turned away anyone that showed an interest, but nothing could be confirmed. It did have an effect on her, however. She took to focusing on her career and it took up much of her free time. She would always wear unflattering clothing and no make up as to not attract much attention. She lived in fear that her supposed lack of interest in all things romantic would be called into question, and she never thought she would find anyone to be with.

Miscellaneous: Nadia has sworn a powerful oath to gain the power over water and blood that she has, and she must obey it or lose those powers.
"I will revel in the fullness of each moon and anoint myself with blood as it passes; it will know my devotion by my sacraments."

Nadia must remain close to her lantern and its flame must remain lit. If either of these conditions are not met she will grow exhausted after two days and fall into unconsciousness after the third. If her lantern were to be destroyed she would die.

Her blood burns if it comes into contact with the air. She is also far warmer than a normal person.
