Nis'ahkt
No sacrifice is too great, if the cause is worthy.
Nis'ahkt is one of the Ninyod Afke Great ones, of the Yenent lands. Despite having little patience for the arrogant or foolhardy, she is well loved by those who have had the luck to encounter her. However, she is still an ash dragon of Yenent, and therefore has a quick temper and aggressive independence. She can be friendly to the Shulte, if not outright possessive, but she is not their friend by default.
Most stories of Nis'ahkt are inspiring stories of trying times and great acts that changed the course of history. Sometimes she is central to these stories, the hand that holds the sword so to speak. Other times, she is the conductor of an orchestra of the great and mighty, weaving symphonies of mythic deeds fit for the legends of old.

Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To Nis'ahkt's, the most important thing is to do what it takes, however big or small, to see the good thing done. She has no problem with making sacrifices, if she believes that the goal is worthy. These can be sacrifices of herself or great sacrifices that she expects of others, much to their dismay. There have been times where she has seemed genuinely confused that another wouldn't want oto make a great sacrifice to accomplish a noble deed, for she expects that all good people view the world as she does.
Vices & Personality flaws
Nis'ahkt has a tendency to get so focused on her goal that she has difficulty seeing other challenges or problems that might be better for her to focus on. It is very difficult for her to change directions or let go of a task once she has started. To her this feels like "giving up" or "losing" and these things feel contrary to her very being.
Relatedly, she also struggles with perfectionism, which makes her both wonderful and horrible for others to work with. Her high commitment to excellence means that the things she does are done so well that a well known saying is: "the gods couldn't do a better job than Nis'ahkt." However it also means that sometimes she will not relent and let go, even when a task has been completed. Additionally, while she has the energy and time to pursue perfect goals for centuries, Shulte do not. Many have died waiting, because she couldn't deliver on a promise until it was "just right."
Complex moral quandaries can be especially difficult for Nis'ahkt, as they are for most Afke. But Nis'ahkt seems to be prone to picking a group that has noble intentions and claims victim hood, but in truth are guilty of great harm to others as they "defend" themselves. This has happened more than once. To her credit, Nis'ahkt knows her pattern and does everything she can to set things right once she recognizes what happens. Unfortunately, in her eagerness to do great things and make great sacrifices, she continues to miss important details and nuances.
