Not much is known about Nyx's early years. In 1111, Nyx (20) ran away from her home town. She spent the time searching for herself, upset about her curse and determined to find a way to break it. She ventured to the continent underneath [[Lyrrh al Stahl|Lyrrh al Stahl]], in part hoping to meet a dragon. | |||
In 1121, 10 years after Nyx's departure from home, [[Lyna Solai|Lyna Solai]] made contact with the forest beneath, starting a calamitous ice age. Nyx was, unfortunately, caught in the calamity and was instantly frozen solid. | |||

Concerned for their daughter, they explained to her that aether control comes with time and practice.

This only served to excite her more. Now believing that becoming a skilled wizard was her calling, she turned training into a daily habit.

Before becoming frozen, Nyx had become cursed. She wants attention, and wants to be special. She has a strong belief that skilled casters are worth praise and adoration. Thus, she put a lot of pressure on herself to become a renowned, skillful mage. Even attempting a second aspect before she even had a handle on her main aspect. The mental strain she put on herself led to a curse that prevents her from casting at all. Subconsciously, she feels: "No one can call me a failure as a mage if I can't cast in the first place." | |||

Early Life
Born in 1091, Nyx grew up in a small settlement in a nice meadow. Born to a family of wind aspected sheep kindred, Nyx lived humbly and (in her words) boringly. Convinced she was to serve a greater purpose, she begged her parents to train her to control aether better. Concerned for their daughter, they explained to her that aether control comes with time and practice. Hoping to dissuade her from hurting herself, they explained the dangers and responsibilities that come with practicing magic.
This only served to excite her more. Now believing that becoming a skilled wizard was her calling, she turned training into a daily habit. She honed her mastery over wind aether to the point that she had surpassed her parents (they weren't especially skilled, mind you). Nyx thought it was time to learn a second aspect.
"Fire sounds destructive and awesome. I have to learn it."
Of course, not truly understanding how little she actually knew, she rushed the process and damaged the aether glands in her left half. Unbeknownst to Nyx, she had cursed herself in the process (see curse section).
Suddenly unable to cast even the most basic wind spells, Nyx spiraled into an episode that could only be described as grief. She became overwhelmed by her own sense of self worth, expectations of grandeur, and the sudden loss of her ability to achieve any of her goals.
When her family felt something was wrong, she lashed out and ran away from home, taking with her only the necessities.
In 1111, when Nyx was 20 years old, she ventured away from her boring village hoping to find a renewed sense of purpose. She had heard that dragons live in a floating Island above what is now known as Aurora Lynaustralis. She had always wanted to see a dragon with her own eyes and thought that perhaps she might meet one there, so she set her course.
She gained strength and durability from her long travels and spent a lot of time staring up at Lyrrh al Stahl from the continent below. One day, while gazing, Nyx saw what she believed to be a meteor headed for the planet. She had accepted her fate, expecting to die soon, and struck a pose.
Of course, it was just Lyna Solai making her catastrophic descent (year 1121). Nyx became flash frozen. 107 years passed before her rescue.
