Nimue
Background:
Nimue, born of a Welsh prince and a Gwragedd Annwn, straddled the mortal and fae worlds from birth. Raised with an innate connection to both realms, she was destined for magic and legend. Under the tutelage of Rhiannon, she mastered the ways of mystery and fate, her magical talent surpassing all expectations.
From her youth, she walked alongside Merlin, her equal and closest friend. Together, they dreamed of Camelot, a kingdom where magic and mortals could coexist. As architects of this dream, they shaped Arthur's destiny. Nimue, keeper of Excalibur, bestowed the sword upon Arthur, knowing his reign would be the land's last hope.
Camelot's fall, marked by Arthur's demise and Lancelot's betrayal, left Nimue deeply wounded. Blaming herself, she retreated to Avalon, witnessing centuries pass as magic waned and mortals turned against their own. She mourned during the Burning Times, her guilt echoing Merlin's, for failing to safeguard magic.
By the 20th century, the ley lines stirred once more, signaling magic's return. World War II compelled her to action. With Merlin, she forged a new Excalibur, not a sword, but a person: Lady Avalon, England's immortal guardian. This act rekindled her hope. In the modern era, Nimue is fully awakened. The Ladies of the Lake are reborn, and she mediates between humanity and the Otherworld. A mentor, diplomat, and guardian, she walks among mortals, guiding the resurgence of magic. She no longer seeks to shape kings, but to empower dreamers and seekers.
Personality:
Nimue is a being of graceful contradictions, a blend of stillness and depth, wisdom and untamed spirit. Serene and composed, she moves through time with quiet authority. Beneath her placid demeanor lies a vast and passionate heart, filled with echoes of love, loss, and longing.
A pagan woman, she is unburdened by societal constraints, having loved and lived deeply. "The Fair Wanton Maid," as Merlin calls her, she is neither prude nor cold. She guards her deepest self fiercely, having witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms and the loss of cherished ones.
For those who earn her trust, her affection is boundless. She loves without limit, giving without hesitation, holding the full force of eternity in her embrace.
Nimue is a woman of wisdom, patience, and understanding. She is the weaver of fate, the keeper of secrets, and the seer of possibilities. Her sharp wit and playful spirit emerge in quiet moments, often at Merlin's expense.
Believing in free will, she guides subtly, steering rather than commanding. But she will not suffer those who abuse magic. A creature of two worlds, she walks among mortals, yet never truly belongs. She understands their joys and sorrows, but knows she will outlive them all.
Now, as magic returns, she guides dreamers and seekers, believing magic belongs to the world itself. Beneath her serene exterior lies a mind sharp as a blade and the power to shake reality. She is Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, the Guardian of Magic, a legend who walks once more.
