P E R S O N A L I T Y
Nivalis was born in a time of relative peace. While many of her older cousins were hardened by the strife of war, Niva lived many years without experiencing any sort of overwhelmingly negative event in her life. She knew only the small camp of banished Extremists and their Elaria offspring, of living in a jungle with an abundance of resources, and the comfortable security of living in a close-knit family tribe. She is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. To Niva, this is a good and fortunate life.
Though it also helps that she considers herself (and expects others to consider her) an Elarian treasure.
Born the first Mystic of her species, Nivalis has an important role to play for her sisters, and it is one she takes seriously, even at a young age. While Niva is eager to learn the ways of the Mystic from her elder Alkidike cousin, she also thinks it important that she forge her own path. She is not leading a band of Alkidike, as the matron had, but is instead trying to establish her still-small tribe of Elaria sisters as a fearsome power in the world. It is her duty to see her camp to greatness, and she has every intention of doing just that.
But as a child, she knows she is still learning and is willing to allow herself some mistakes. Niva is impatient, a poor trait when dealing with the often unclear and undefined forces of the Mother Goddess. She likes for things to happen immediately, with quick, clear, and concise results, and she lacks the resolve to continue working toward something she deems 'unimportant' if it doesn't yield the results she wants in a timely manner. Which is why she is a poor swimmer and has little tolerance for the water, despite the training from her older cousins.
Perhaps if an Elaria had taken on her training, instead of an Alkidike, she would have shown more progress. As it stands, Nivalis doesn't appreciate her more experienced cousins' words of wisdom. They are from another place and another time, only a step above weakling Earthlings. The Alkidike on Zinris have at least some merit, being the founders of the Elaria, but all others are very near to worthless, and their words mean little. Niva holds no gentleness in her heart for anyone not of her own tribe.
But to both her older and younger sisters, she shows an absurd amount of adoration and respect. Though there are precious few older than her, they know the ways of their tribe and their jungle better than anyone else. They are a worthwhile source of knowledge, and Niva will do nearly anything to have their respect.
To the youngest Elaria of her tribe, she hopes to one day be a beacon of wisdom to them, as her elders are to her. Her youngest sisters are each treasures in their own right, and treasures that Niva had close-contact with at birth, thanks to her duties. Each bloom from Elzira's branches is a gift and should be treated as such. While Nivalis has very little patience as far as anything else goes, she's prepared to give as much of her time as needed to her younger sisters. She tries to be fair to all of them, and would never let it show if they were getting on her nerves.
She has spent her entire life being molded into a fearsome leader, and when she fails in that regard, it is difficult to keep a positive face, but she presses ever onward, determined to see things through.

H I S T O R Y
“It was a dark and stormy night in the small settlement of Zinris. The children were tucked in their beds, and their ever-vigilant guardians waited patiently for the tempest to subside. The winds were powerful. The rain was harsh. Branches tumbled from the highest canopies and shattered the homes they landed on. It was a dangerous night, too dangerous for parents to have their rest.
By the time the storm seemed to have quieted, the sun was rising, far off in the distance, spilling pink and gold light across the land and through the gaps in the trees. Then, quite suddenly, a loud, ear-splitting crack resounded through the camp. For a brief instant, the entirety of the world was bathed in light, heat, and the crackling remains of electric energy. Any other tree would have been downed instantly, but Elzira still remained. Some of the older Alkidike sisters thought it was an ill-omen, that the heavens themselves would split to attack a young goddess that never should have been. For others, it strengthened their resolve. Even the forces of nature could not make Elzira bow.
Either way, scarcely more than a day had passed when a new bud sprouted forth from Elzira’s branches, the most special blossom to ever bloom. A mystic infant. You.”
Such were the tales Nivalis grew up on and takes an absurd amount of pride in. A special bloom, the most special bloom is an idea she can get behind. She wants to be a source of comfort and strength for her sisters, and since all she’s ever known is the state of relative peace that things are now, it doesn’t seem a difficult task. Perhaps the future will bring strife. She isn’t weak and will be ready for whatever the world throws at her. Though she tries to understand where her older cousins are coming from when they call her an ‘ill-omen,’ it’s difficult to not be offended by what sounds like such blatant criticism.
But Niva is eager to prove them wrong. Let the world do what it will. Elzira will show her the path that will guide the tribe through whatever struggles it encounters.
She spent most of her youngest years training under the matron: studying languages (common earthling, the language of the trees, and the language of the ancestors), magic, the history of her tribe, and combat. Nivalis is ever eager for more and has a sort of guilty thought in that she hopes for some type of strife that would make her, even in her young age, useful. That being said, she's very frightened of losing her sisters and is simultaneously grateful that nothing too drastic has come up yet.
She has lost a sister, Zinnia, while traveling beyond the camp before. The death struck her hard and encouraged her to be stronger and more resilient and also to refrain from risking herself and others unnecessarily, a good lesson for all the troubles that followed.
Nivalis and her tribe survived through the attacks and abductions of the dretch, but soon after, the Alkidike matron who guided Niva's steps passed on to the earth, and she was left to make tough choices on her own.
Some of her sisters stole a seed from the Great Mother and whisked it away to the newfound lands of Kahikina, where it was planted and began to bloom. Following this, Elzira began to wilt, and Nivalis and her tribe started to wonder how they would survive if their mother ceased producing blooms...
