Basic Statistics
Name: Nyale Laytos
Alias: Ny
Age: Twenty Two
DoB: March 7th
Occupation:SeeD operative, Healer
Weapon(s):
Bow and arrows; Celair - Nyale's handcrafted bow which she often uses with her magic. It is very light and allows for powerful and fast firing of arrows, which Nyale keeps in a quiver on her back strapped over her shoulder. She makes the arrows herself and uses her own feathers on a few special ones, which she saves. The bow was crafted by her mother, Lisanna, with some help from Nyale, as a gift for her.
Daggers; Nothing overly special, just a simple pair of silver daggers, which she only uses when forced to fight in close combat.
Biography:
Ny was born during the chaos of the second sorceress war, the first child of two sorcerers: Kalay and Lisanna. She has no memories of the first few years of her life, though she knows some of the facts from speaking to her father. She knows that she was almost killed as a baby, and that her mother doesn't speak of that time.
She had a safe and privileged upbringing in Winhill, with a loving family home and many happy memories of hanging out with her best friend Kalen. As expected at an early age she started to show signs of her magical blood, only a few years after the birth of her brother. Over the years Kalay and Lis trained her well and helped her develop her healing and light magic.
Ny was always fascinated by her powers and eager to learn how to strengthen and control them. She also loved flying and in her hurry to master this skill obtained a great number of bumps and bruises before she became decent at it.
Overall she had a happy childhood, until around the time where her little brother left home to join the Esthar space station, and her mother had a period of ill health. It was during this lonely and dark time that her GF first appeared from nowhere, surprising Ny as she sat alone on a rainy cliff.
The tiny rabbit-like GF decided to comfort her, and so the two formed their bond. In Ny the GF found someone who wanted her for companionship, and Calliope's bond reassured Nyale that she would never be left alone. From then on the two were often seen together.
Due to the nature of her parents work Nyale was often hanging around Winhill Garden so it came as a surprise to no one that she eventually enrolled, hoping to become a great SeeD operative like her mother and father.
With having famous and powerful parents she always felt high expectations placed on her, which caused her some insecurity. She often feared she would never live up to their high standards, and as such became very ambitious, with the aim of trying to surpass her parents. She can be quite prideful too, a trait which developed as a defense mechanism against those who feared or disliked her for being of sorceress blood.
She's often seen flying around Winhill, inside and out, and going on missions.

Hobbies: Playing with Calliope, playing the violin (taught by her uncle Salem), flying, training and sparring, practicing her magic, and target practice with her bow.
Personality:
Ny is a lively, confident, and generally friendly person who tries to get along with others wherever possible. She is quite social and enjoys being around people, to the extent that she is often very curious about other people and can be seen as nosy at times. As a healer she is naturally empathetic and will be protective of people she cares about.
Although her manner often appears easygoing and relaxed, she does take her job seriously. She does not enjoy killing or hurting people but will do what is necessary on a mission and is not afraid to fight or put herself in harms way to protect others.
Having grown up in such a peaceful environment she lacks experience with the darker sides of society and as such is more susceptible to those with bad intentions. She can be easily influenced by people she perceives as powerful, due to her ambitious nature and desire to become better than her parents. Her drive to achieve this greater power and recognition can cloud her judgement. She is also likely to become arrogant and prideful if she feels threatened or disrespected, and she does have a vindictive streak and is prone to impulsive actions at times.
Special Characteristics
Natural Affinity: Light
Talent/Skills: Expert flyer and magic user (light and healing), skilled archer, decent at close combat.
Battle Overview: Nyale primarily fights from a distance by using a combination of light sorceress magic and archery to bring down her opponent, whilst avoiding attacks via her flying ability.
Often she will take on a supporting role by providing healing to her teammates and others who need it.
Sorcery:
Ny's sorcery involves the use of light magic and healing magic, the two used often in conjunction with each other. Her light magic can be used offensively in the form of white hot light that burns to the touch and is often almost blinding to look at. It can be manipulated into different forms such as rays and flashes of light or even harmful burning blasts. It can also be concentrated to more physical, tangible forms such as orbs, beams, etc, and can vary in intensity. Her healing magic is a purer type of magic that is inoffensive only. It usually has a warm golden glow to it and when it makes contact with another organism it will seep through them and repair any damage it touches.
Spells:
Elemental - Holy
Healing - Cure/Cura, Protect/Heal, Life
Buffs - Regen, Shell
Other - Dispel
Combat magic;
White Flash - She conjures a ball of burning hot light magic which attaches to her arrow and is then shot at the enemy
Damage: Light
Illuminate - A harmless but bright flash of light that Ny can cast in a specific area, usually to distract enemies. She can control the intensity, making it either almost blinding or simply enough to illuminate the area for a little while.
Damage: N/a
Seraph Strike - Ny channels her light magic through her whole body, building it up to a great intensity and curling her wings around herself, then lets it all loose in one swift attack via her wings bursting open. A concentrated wave of powerful light magic is sent blasting towards the opponent, incinerating everything in its path. (Holy)
Damage: Light, heat
Apotheosis - The sky above and around Nyale is covered by bright rippling shades of orange and yellow from her light magic expanding massively, and hundreds of arrows made of burning light solidify in it before suddenly being expelled at great speed down on the field. Upon impact they explode in small bursts of blinding light, causing light damage and removing elemental resistances and status immunities from the enemy. (Dispel and Holy)
Damage: Light, heat
Healing;
Purify - Simple healing spell for mending minor/moderate wounds and conditions on an individual. Lays her palm flat either on the afflicted or towards them, forming a ray of warm healing light over their body. She can concentrate this light on a small area of their body or their entire form. The more serious and troublesome the wound or condition is, the longer it takes to heal and the more energy it requires. (Cure/Cura/Protect)
Aegis - Combines her light and healing magic, with a large semi-transparent golden dome extending across the field with her at the center, healing all who are under it to a certain degree, and providing protect and shell buffs. (Heal/Protera/Shell)
Resurrection - Revives an individual (Life)
