What can she do with her element?;;
"Ahhh what can I do? Well I can enter ones dreams, or ones’ nightmares. Useful if you ask me, we seem to carry our secrets in our sleep. Oh but you know I've got more to show do you? What gave it away? The wings? Well they are quiet beautiful aren't they. They are a manifestation of what I work with, good dreams. I can lull one to sleep, and create or alter the dreams of others. I do not have the ability to create nightmares, and really, why would I want them? Instead I can trap others in dream, creating dreams so powerful and engrossing that they cannot wake up. Of course, no trap is fool proof. One only needs to realize they're dreaming to escape. That'd how you break a dream. That's easy you say? I'd like to see you try. Yes, yes, I can help the sleepless get to sleep, but I hardly see that as being that useful. It works best when I sing, lullabies ya know? I can enter dream, and on a good day, I can enter nightmares. Entering a dream helps me build dreams better."
Personality;;
-Level Headed-Vain-Calulating-Positve-Protective-Moral-Socialable-Caring-
Narissa is far from modest when it comes to her appearance, she knows she is beautiful, and wants other to recognize it as well. She is very much into herself, and she believes that she is special. She is vain and self-centered, but this doesn't mean that she is a mean or vindictive lioness. While being vain, she can be quite a caring creature, especially when it comes to her sisters. She does keep her self interest in mind, and keeps it first, but that doesn't stop her from taking care of or thinking about others. Give her a reason to care, and she will. Give her a reason to dislike her, and she will.
Narissa isn't bad, but she isn't always all good either. Generally, she forms superficial bonds, half for her trust, and half because there’s something she needs. The import thing to know is, while Rissa is a schemer, she is not immoral, she has her code, and will follow it through. Simply, she knows how to make the right friends, and make the right moves. This is amplified with the fact that she comes with a large set of social skills; she loves talking to others, even if its sometimes about herself. She is level headed, but not always calm. Her tendency is to be easy to anger, but quick to recover.
Narissa, or Rissy, as she may be known among other dream lioness, is very protective, particularly of her sisters. Any friend, family, or lion she thinks is with her time, will fall under this protection. When it comes to the sisters as a group though, Narissa will only sometimes follow the leader, other times, she prefers to go her own way. to Narissa may not be the best fighter, but she can when it needs, don't expect her to sit back and watch. Narissa will fight paw to claw, and word to word if it means looking to for those around her. Insult her ego or her looks, and she won't take to kindly to it. Rissa has an attitude, be sure not to run into it.
Rank;; "I'm currently a nomad, though both fighting sides have my interest, I really do believe I must join one."
Should she join the pride, she will be a pride member, who may sometimes help the healers when sleep and dreams can be useful.
What does this lioness dream about?;;
Narissa dreams about the dreams she's created, or entered in the past, in fact she rarely ever dreams about herself, unless she has one of her sisters create something of her. After hearing the news of her past life though, Narissa began to fear sleeping, afraid that her past would come back to her in the form of nightmare, afraid that she'll loose her wings. She wants her memories back, but she does not want to lose her good dreams. Every now and then, though, a memory will slip in every now and then.
Story;;
~~
Awakening
Narissa didn't rise immediately, instead she stayed silently on the ground. She could tell someone, or some people, were making a fuss, but over what, she wasn't sure. She wasn't sure of much, other than her name, she knew that had always been hers. In fact, she knew who she was, the kind of lioness she was that is. She knew how to be herself, the problem was, she wasn't sure. There were so many voices, in fact, it was starting to annoy her. Slowly, she rose to her feet, some of the lions and lioness around stopped to look at her, others were to busy, tending to a very diverse set of lioness. A lion approached her, and started to look her over.
"Do you remember your name" He said calmly, as he circled her, checking for injury.
"Narissa," she said pointedly, annoyed that he didn't offer his name to her afterwords. He was intently checking over her, when light began to radiate on either side of her springing with grace from her sides, and lighting up the area around her. The formed into wings, warm and pleasant. Narissa wasn't sure if she had always has them, but she knew that she quite love them now. The lion stopped, stunned, and she noticed several more sets of eyes looking over at her, which pleased her greatly.
The lion finished, without ever speaking to Narissa, not even to tell her he was done. She found this quite rude, but either way, she decicied it would be best of her to head on her way, whatever that meant. She made to leave, when a lioness blocked her path.
"You are to stay here," the lioness said sharply, her eyes boring into Narissa.
"You could be a bit less brash Kiani" a voice called, and the lioness jumped. She studied Narissa for a moment, the spoke, "My apologies, I don't me to be rude, I'm just very tired, but we've been ordered to keep you all around."
"Of course, no worries," Narissa said in a sickeningly sweet tone, and Kiani walked away. Narissa considered making an escape, not seeing why she should have to stay, but deiced to stay when she saw a group of lionesses, all who felt familiar, nearby. she walked close to them, but did not join them, trying to rack her brain. "Healers, these are healer," she thought to herself, "But what am I, powers, I must have some right? what are they anyways."
It was the quite, and to her, rude lion that helped her. As he came by, she focused heavily on him, not sure what would happen, but sure that something would. She bore her eyes into him, and watched as he yawned, looking as if he could nod off at any second, and suddenly it came to her, her powers. She wasn't sure if she had always carried these powers, and she wasn’t sure what their extent was. She decided, as much as she didn't like the lion, it was best not to mess with his work. She looked at the other lioness. They likely had the same powers as her, which she felt had to be special, but she said nothing.
The News
Narissa wasn't sure that pride life was for her, and as such, she left the pride as soon as she could. In fact, once she understands the war, she wasn't sure which side she wanted to be on. She flirted with both, and had managed to form a few ties on each side, should she have wanted join either side. She had made very friends or allies, most "bonds" being tools for if she ever needed them. Even as a nomad though, the story her and the others past got to her. Her initial reaction was anger at what had been done to her, what was taken to her. A second chance at life was great, but nothing to the fact that she had been used. This did not sit well with her. She made her way to the pride as soon as possible, wanting to make sure what she had heard was true, and check on her sisters.
Why Narissa was happy with her sisters being alright, the news was less pleasing. She had been murdered. This was now fact. She had been part of the rebellion, a part that she must have thought was important at the time. She was betrayed, and felt betray now. How could she have ever let anyone use her like that, she has to be sure it would never happens again. Suddenly, she was very glad she hadn't taken a side. On one hand, she couldn't trust the rebellion, they came from the same roots that betrayed her, and were just as likely to do it again, but the pride, she had been against them in the past, had there been a good reason? She couldn't be sure.
She paced the unclaimed land, unsure of her next actions. Luckily, no one seemed to be ready to ask her what she would do next, so she had time to sit on it. She had good ties to both sides, she just has to play up on those more, figure out who she wanted to join, and feed her side what she could. She had a feeling that many nomads would have to make a choice sooner or later, whether they wanted to join the pride or not. She knows that she would need to work something out soon. For now, though, she was going to play the deck.
As told by Narissa;;
"No, don't come any closer" my voice screamed, though it sounded at an odd distance. When I awoke, it was the dead of night, I must have been screaming, for it woke some of my neighbors. I trudged away quickly, not enjoying giving the other nomads a reason to judge me. I wandered the land the dark land, looking up at the beautiful night sky. Traversing the land wasn't hard, my beautiful wings helped light the way. I knew it was another night I would' sleep, which meant one thing, it was time to have some fun. Finding a lion or lioness worth her time wasn't always easy, but I spotted a large male out of the corner of my eye, and I felt he'd be an interesting study.
I padded over the lion, wanting to get my mind of the odd dream. I crouched down next to him, focused, and entered his dreams. It was quite dull really, he was just talking to some lioness, it was just too much like a normal day. I supposed that it was a crush, but I felt he needed to dream bigger. I distracted him with a Taxon running by, so I could first distract him while a made the scene a little more romantic. Usually I would add some music, but I had short work to do in a short amount of time. Flowers, and a river he just so happened to forget was behind him. What I hadn't realized that I was inside his dreams, and the taxon I placed ran toward me.
I wasn't aware that he noticed me until he was right in front of me, staring me down. "You're quite pretty." I was to distracted by the compliment, to which I was overly happy to receive, that I almost didn't notice that the lioness was gone, till he started asking who I was. I of course, had no intent on explaining this, and decided to plan an escape. His attention was set on me, which was flattering, but also bad for the time. The escape though was simple, due to my quick thinking. All it took was a little mist, and that was it, I was able to escape without his notice. Not wanting to catch him while he was awake, I trotted off in the night.
Relationships;;
Kimba - Narissa couldn't quite find any appeal of the pride, until she came across Kimba. She approached him out of boredom, but found that he had genuine interest in her, not her origins. He didn't ask about her past, her memories, or bug her about her wings, and she was able to hold a pleasant conversation with him. His kindness did not go unnoticed by Narissa, and she often visits the pride so that she can talk with him.
unnamed (dream lioness 10) -Narissa shares a commonality with this lioness, she is very angry about her past, and current events, though her sisters is far stronger than hers. The two bond over this, an Narissa feels that she is the sister that understands how Narissa feels the best. Like her other sisters, Narissa feels a great bond, and feel the need to protect her at all coats.
Kiani - Narissa met Kiani when she was under the care of the pride healers, and they had a decent relationship at first. Narissa suspected that Kiani didn't trust her for some reason, and decided to enter into one of her dream. It was a dream about Ronin, and Kiani was quite angry when she awoke. Narissa avoids Kiani when she visits the pride. We they do run into each other, Narissa takes the time to any the lioness.
Nyx - Nyx is another liness Narissa talks to, though she is not as close to her as with Kimba. She does not seek out the lioness, but should she see her around, she makes an effort to strike up a pleasant conversation with the girl. Admittedly though, Narissa sometimes forgets the name of Nyx.
