Name meaning: I picked Nyx as it is the name of the roman goddess of the night, and because something about it's short nature lead to it being the perfect fit for her.
How she uses her powers to train: Nyx rarely ever blinds her students when they are young, saving that ability for any actually defense situation, as she views them as too young for that kind of training, instead she will sit down and explain how it works and what it's like to her cubs. her most often used power is of distraction, though when they are older she may feel more inclined to use this on them. Using the shadows, she forms decoys, usually to work as dummies shaped vaguely like lions that the cubs can fight, for a mostly injury free result, though accidents do happen. When they are more ready, she will use it to distract her cubs as they practice fight against each other. No matter their dream, she thinks that it is important that every cub to know how to take care of themselves. The idea applies to covering the area in darkness, this to her is a experience the should have. She also like to have some one on one time with her students if possible and tries to get to know them all well.

Personality: Nyx has always been kind hearted, and she used to be quite the dreamer. She was once very high spirited, hopeful, believing that she could accomplish anything she put her mind to, and so could her sister, thinking that that they would take the world by storm with they're dreams and hopes. She had desire to show the world that everyone was and could be important, and she walked with a skip in her step, always happy, always hopeful. She spent much of her time openly reaching out out to other to speak with her, to encourage them, to light the same fire that guided her step. Her sister disappearance and likely death caused a huge change in her personality. Depressions set in for her, and took over her for a very long time, but she was able to over come it, with the help of a cub. Until that time, Nyx livened in a darkness stronger than any power she have, and she became reserved and less present to those around her spirit gone.
Like a rock, you must be hard.
Nyx is passionate about training the cubs, she cares very dearly about all of them, their safety, there life problems, and of course, their education. Rest assured, she would do anything to keep her students safe. As the future of the pride, she knows that it is important that they be trained properly, so that they can carry on the tribes’ future. With that said, she knows just how to be careful, sweet and kind, while still teaching with a strong authority. She keeps close eye on them, making sure than no cub is causes trouble, or that no cub is in trouble. She looks out for her students. she's call for respect, while still being approachable. She does't want to scary, she wants to be seen a friendly, but be able to hold authority when she needs it, and she pulls all of this off fairly well, save one or two trouble makers overall.
Like an oak, you must stand firm.
Just as she looks out for her students, she looks out for her tribe. While grief struck her in way she never recovered, and she lost some of her social desire, she still has her way of caring of others. she watches over her tribe mates with the same care as her students, ready to insert herself in any fight or take care of anyone sad or depressed. She will talk to others for just plain conversation every now and then, but no where near as much as she used to do,, as he used to seek others out to talk, but this is no longer an interest for her, so the more someone talks to her, the more they will hear from her. when it comes to romance, she available, but she'll need someone to look out for her the way that she does for others. She loves to sing, but it is unknown if the does this for herself, or if she does it for others. Nyx has given herself the sole purpose of trying to keeping other from ever feeling the way that she felt. She is a protector of the heart, as it can so easily break.
Cut quick, like my blade.
Still, Nyx cares about everyone, even if she finds herself not liking them. She will help anyone in her tribe, because no matter what, they are all her family, and that's just the way see his. She wants to take care pf people, particularly those who she taught herself. She is always ready to sit and council anyone, and will step out of herself to check on anyone who she thinks may need someone to talk to. She need to help others tends to mask her own needs, as She worries about others so much that she act as if she has no problem, and it takes someone calling out to her to get her to spend time on her own issues. It takes close friends to read her, the way she reads others. She can easily read most of her students and tell if something is wrong, and she is decent about reading those she did not teach. One issue that she faces is a tab bit of jealously. As she believes he sister is likely dead, she gets a tad bit jealous with others talk about being able to talk to their pas loved ones at the lake.
Think fast, unafraid.
Nyx is very calm, very quiet, and usually sweet. It's hard to bring out her temper, be it young or old. She is hard to anger, but easy to sympathize. She is very gentle, and talks with a gentle, quiet voice. Her patience is overall unmatched as she shows when she's teaching. While positivity fails her in her personal life, she is always able to be positive for other lions, trying to inspire the kind of hope she lost. She is able to conform when needed, making it easier for her to befriend pretty much anyone. Nyx is the kind of lion to be nice to someone even someone she suspects of being dangerous, believing that everyone had the the right to a chance at change. While her concern is rooted at a good thing, Nyx has a tendency to over worry, and can sometimes become annoying if she things something is wrong, this being even worse when she is wrong about that feeling herself.
History: Nyx was born with another sister, of whose name she will not speak. Both were very similar, but also very different. Both were kind spirits, but with different dreams. Her sister wanted to be remembered, Nyx only wanted to make a difference. As they grew and trained, the grew close, until their path diverged. Nyx a natural, caring heart became a trainer, finding her self in love with the role of building cubs up to what they would be, while her sister became a warrior of the fight class, finding her role best fit at finishing a fight. Still, the two remained very close, any free time they hadn't was often dedicated to the other. Her sister would often in humorous tone sate that she was stars and the moon to her, a whole galaxy. Her passion began to bloom, but was cut down for a while, cut down to the disappearance of her sister. She refused to work for days, determined her sister would return, how could someone get lost searching borders. But the day turned to weeks, weeks before people gave up. "Some die young" some said, some said her sister was to head strong and lost in a fight she shouldn't have started. Nyx refused to believe it, that was one day she tripped, embedding a rock in her paw. She knew, some how this was important, a reminder that there was pain outside of her own. All she needed to know was that her sister was now gone, and here sister would stay gone. she eventually had to given up her hope.
Like a cloud, you are soft.
Nyx began to lose interest in everything around her for a while, she still did what was required of her, but only just that. The passion of teaching had died in her, and she worked in mechanical like patterns. She acted as if she was doing what she had to do, not what she wanted. Life became a chore for her, she distanced herself from everyone but those she had to teach. Anyone who was taught by her before could tell something was wrong, her smile was gone, her eye didn't light up when someone improve. Her students did learn, but it just wasn't the same, it was only a lesson, not an experience. Her social habits were worrying too. He conversations became as mechanical as her teaching, she no longer sought others out, and when other thought her out, it was clear that she was forcing her way though her conversations. she felt hallow, and that was how everyone saw her. They were all concerned, but no one knew what to do, they could only watch and hope for a change in her, that she would become better somehow.
Like bamboo, you bend in the wind.
This changed one day, when one of her students approached her, wanting to know why she was so sad. It was those words that made it occur to her that she just wasn't living the right way, for her mood to make an impression to her students, that wasn't good enough. Where ever her sister was, she wouldn't be proud. Now this she mulled over for days, this idea that she could be disappointing her sister, her family,leing a let down was never what she wanted. She paced around, pondering this one day, she she stepped on a small rock.She lifted it, cradled it, thinking over what it meant to her, thinking over what she meant to others, who cared about her. Her students needed her, and she was failing them. Her sister wouldn't want her to give up on her dream. She returned to the cub, and told them not to worry, things would be better soon enough, pushing a weary smile to show she was sincere.
Creeping slow, you're at peace because you know.
From then on out, Nyx gained some of her old ways back. She went back to being the kind but tough trainer she had always been, working hard to inspire all that she taught. She took good care of them, and was always there to help her students if needed. She became social, but she no longer sought out others, to talk to, unless she though they needed help. She was always willing to talk, and help out others. She still smiled, just not as much. She was still kind, she was still her overall, but still, there was something missing, something that everyone could see and feel coming from her. No one knew what is was, maybe she would always be a broken half of something bigger than herself. Still, many have said to have seen her, sitting by her self, tossing a rock between her paws, as she looked up to the sky. Some seemed to think the change had hit her to hard, that there was nothing good in it, but something good happened with her. While she began to keep to herself more, lions noticed that she would walk around singing to herself, usually happy tunes, leading them to believe that there must be enough happiness left in her.
Relationships:Pride - Nyx views everyone in the pride like they are a member of her family, and thus, she wants to take care of each and every lion. She believes in every member and their ability to do great things. She had no doubts that all those in a leading role can do their their job and succeed, she believes they are all in good hands, or in this cases, paws.
~~-
Inna- Nyx considers Inna to be a close friend, particularly due to them both being cub trainers. She loves working with him when possible, and tends to talk to him more than most other lions in the tribe. she views him as someone she can rely on, thinking of him very highly.
~~-
Viridine- Nyx loves talking to Viridine because of the positive vibe that she brings. If ever Nyx feels she's needs to turn to someone, she would be very likely to turn Viridian first over anyone else. Viridine brings about a brightness that Nyx sometimes needs to be around to feel joy she has forgotten.
~~Blood moon lions - Nyx thinks of them no differently as any other lions, to her, they are the same as her. She has no worries about them, or what they would do, trusting them just as much as she would anyone else in her pride. Nyx has an innocent until proven guilty mindset, and she applies it to all of them. She is just as available to them as any other.
~~-
Eztli- Nyx took to him immediately in some worrying sense, and tires to check in on him every now and then. As a whole, Nyx wants to be a mother figure to him. She is very often seen checking in on him wanting to make him as comfortable as possible. She is always ready to lean him a paw, or an ear.
~~Cubs- Nyx care very deeply of those she trains, watching closing over than, making sure they get the best leaning experience while also keeping them as safe as possible. No bullying or other misuse of her education will go unnoticed. She is always looking out for them.
It's okay to be afraid.
The rock: the idea behind her and the rock, or more her and rock, is that she took this a a sign of sorts, to stop looking for her, as to her, hr sister was her rock. she does still have that rock, but not with her at all time. When tensed or worried, you'll find that she will take up any small rock or pebble to destress,as it reminds he of her sister, and makes he feel close to her.

About me: Hello, I'm Red weasel, but you can call me red, or whatever you like really. I'm a sophomore in college, so of course I get busy very often. In free time I like to write, and I love working on character development. My reason for wanting this L.O.C. is because, first, the L.O.C. community is some amazing, an full of kind people. Second, I love her design, and immediately had a rush of ideas for how to characterize her. I had a lot of fun with her history, and thinking about her relationship with the pride, and members lions.
Edits: Just to let you know what I've worked on. First, the pieces of art were added to the form, which was what I was waiting on. I personally love the one by FluffyFoxWolf of the two new ones.Otherwise, I lightly grammar checked the form, and changed around the wording for a couple sentences in several sections.I added a sentence to two to each personality paragraph(which i spent most of my editing time on), as well as the relationships. I added a new theme song, and a small section on the rock idea, just incase that didn't make sense.Finally, I bolded the form parts for easy reading, I would like to thank you for considering my form!
