Nadja Llywelyn is a name known throughout all of Amaryllis. Her name did, after all, shake the nation when the news of what she'd done came out. There were some who cheered, others raged, and others yet began to whisper her name in terror. The news of a 23-year-old girl who had killed, not one, not two, but 12 people in a dark alley in Agia Moran was frightening enough. Paired with the rumors that these were only the deaths they could prove, only the deaths they knew about, and that the 23-year-old girl had wielded death itself made it all the more frightening. There were still some that cheered her name and screamed for continued death, that called for the death of the entire royal class, but their cries fell on deaf ears. The reactions may have been different if they knew the truth about Nadja. If they knew that the claims she looked like a ghost, a wraith stumbling through the world seeking vengeance were true the fear would have been greater. If they'd known her hair was white and her eyes a shade of gray that looked lifeless, her skin pale and gaunt, pulled tightly against frail bones, they would have been terrified. Had they known she was not 23 but younger they would have quaked in their boots and cried for the loss of an innocent soul. If they had known the truth of what happened in, not a dark alley, but a well-lit street the reactions may have been very different. If they had known what fate they were sending such a young girl too, perhaps they may have been more merciful or called for justice, but instead, they let her waste away, a prisoner of their fear and of the government. Trapped in a place that would call her monster and treat her like dirt.

Combined spatial and physical intellect allows her to predict the next moves of her foes and friends and avoid actions when necessary, this allows her to be very skilled at escaping, fighting, and more. Linguistic intellect is derived from her experience with many different people of various ethnicities and species during her time in Lotus Marine. Also very musically intellectual.

Morality & Philosophy

True power comes from the ability and willingness to protect others and fight for others, it is to be wielded as a responsibility not to yourself but to those who are unable to protect themselves. Anyone who has the power to protect people and help them but chooses not to does not deserve the power they possess, true abuse of the power occurs when it is wielded to cause immense harm and control others. When you deny the right of others to live you lose the right and the privilege to live. Life is both a right and a privilege.
