BEHIND THE LETTERSWhy did I choose the name Nyla? Honestly, I don't know. I was watching T.V., and thinking about this contest, when the name suddenly popped into my mind. I think that Nyla fits this gorgeous Hexawolf perfectly. It's not plain, but not overly extravagant; much like her design. After a bit of research, I found that Nyla is from a Gaelic/Irish origin, which to me, also seems to fit this girl perfectly as you'll see later in her history section. As for the nickname Ramsey, I thought that fit in with her personality. So go ahead and read up on her, and have a great time! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

DIGGING DEEPER
ρεгsσπλlιτψ
Nyla is not a kind, compassionate, sweet girl. She's the exact opposite: rough, crude, awkward, clumsy, and sarcastic. Nyla is never afraid to speak her mind, something that she learned while she traveled around the world. To her, it's best to say what you're thinking than not say it at all. However, her inability to think before she acts has gotten her into several dangerous situations. Paired with this, Nyla is also very sarcastic. Some mistake it for wit, others mistake it for blatant honesty (it's really hard to tell). She is also extremely awkward and clumsy. Nyla never really had any friends as a child, and lived on a farm, so her social skills and hand-eye coordination aren't the best. Despite having an overall negative personality, Nyla does have a few good traits. She's extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and empathetic (though not really sympathetic). Some would describe her as a go-getting cowgirl/adventurer that does whatever she wants. The only true friend that Nyla has is her companion, Geoffrey.
нιsτσгψ
Nyla was born in Coleraine, Ireland, where she was raised by her parents on a farm near the Somerset Forest. They weren't rich folk, and often Nyla went without clean clothes to wear or a decent meal to eat. Her education was minimal, as the school closest to their farm was not the best, and her teachers often beat students for misbehaving. Nyla's thirst for knowledge, however, could not be quenched. She could barely read, but forced herself to learn by walking several miles to the Coleraine College campus, where she would spend hours in their library poring over books about travel. By her 16th birthday, Nyla was tired of doing simple farm work. She wanted to go out and explore the world, and so she did. She packed a single backpack with most of her belongings, and set off, leaving her shocked parents behind to continue their work on the farm. Many months later, Nyla found herself in the middle of Europe with nowhere to go and nothing to eat. She had begun to lose hope in her dream, when she found a tiny Iberian Lynx kit which she then named Geoffrey. Nyla took care of Geoffrey, which brought hope to her again. Together, they continued her journey around the world, exploring old legends, visiting archeological sites, and forever inspecting strange caves or forests.

LAST MINUTE
:: Ⴓ :: Hello Nyla, and welcome! Today I, ||TechnoVanGogh||, will be interviewing you. Now, our first question is, what is your full name?
:: Δ :: I don't have a full name, actually. When I left home, I refused to have any association with my parents other than my first name, Nyla, so I dropped off my middle and last name. I can't remember them anyways, but I'm sure I have it written down somewhere.
:: Ⴓ :: Did you not like your parents?
:: Δ :: Well, actually, no. We didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things, especially my desire to travel and learn. They wanted me to stay on the farm and work, and then marry me off so that they could live comfortably in their old age. I didn't really agree with that.
:: Ⴓ :: I'm sure no one would. How many places have you been to so far?
:: Δ :: I've only been traveling for about seven years, so I haven't been to a lot of places. Even so, there are a lot, more than I can count right now.
:: Ⴓ :: Seven years, huh? When did you first meet Geoffrey?
:: Δ :: Yup, seven years. Its not a lot of time. Er . . . I think I met him in the streets of Ukraine. It was somewhere in Europe at least. He was a tiny little kit, and it looked like someone had left him out on the streets to fend for himself, so I decided to take him in.
:: Ⴓ :: How sweet of you! Do you normally help others out?
:: Δ :: No. I'm not that kind of person. I have my own problems to deal with, but for some reason, I couldn't just leave Geoffrey there to die. Maybe it was because he was so tiny and cute, or some sense of compassion filled me.
:: Ⴓ :: So you're not a very compassionate Hexawolf then?
:: Δ :: Nope, not at all. I feel empathy for others, but not enough for me to take action.
:: Ⴓ :: Where is Geoffrey, by the way?
:: Δ :: Oh, he's backstage. He's really shy and has never been on camera before. As a matter of fact, I don't think he's ever used one.
:: Ⴓ :: Ah, very well then. Where are you headed to next?
:: Δ :: Geoffrey and I are planning to head to the Amazon. We've been there before, actually, but this time, we're going to explore the banks of the Tapajos River.
:: Ⴓ :: That sounds like a lot of fun! Thank you for interviewing with me Nyla. I hope to see you around these parts again soon!
:: Δ :: And thank you, ||TechnoVanGogh||.
