When Nuwa taps into peripheral essence her castemark shimmers in rose-tinged gold. With further expenditures the cloak of her Anima becomes visible, a deep gold suffused by the glorious red of the sunrise that surrounds her as a coruscating aura. At its maximum it coalesces into its iconic form, a ring of flying blades high over Nuwa's head - the Crown of Swords, a banner that has struck fear into the hearts of her opponents since times immemorial. | When Nuwa taps into peripheral essence her castemark shimmers in rose-tinged gold.

Born a Dynast and raised on the Blessed Isle as a member of the Immaculate Order V'neef Tokaro journeyed far and wide serving the Order. During one of these travels he met an old man sitting under a tree, surrounded by students. Curiously he joined them and soon realized with sadness that the man's teachings were heresy to the Immaculate Doctrine. But no matter how eloquently he argued, no matter how much essence he poured into his words to change the mind of these mere mortal, he could not change their minds. And after a time he discovered that the old man's questions revealed deeply hidden flaws in his beliefs, gaps that required better answers. A year later Tokaro returned to the Blessed Isle to share his newfound wisdom, the revelation of the Noble Path of which the Immaculate Faith was a mockery twisted by politics, with his fellow Immaculates. But he was not well received and Wisdom of the East Wind as he now called himself to reject his former allegiances had to flee as an apostate to the Order. In the woods of the south-eastern forests he founded a monastery and invited scholars, thinkers and fighters all to join him in seeking enlightenment.<br> | Born a Dynast and raised on the Blessed Isle as a member of the Immaculate Order V'neef Tokaro journeyed far and wide serving the Order.

Many years later while ensuring the safety of the blooming monastery's lands he found a young girl, half starved and close to death, who would soon become as a daughter to him. Certainly his pride was that of a parent as her star rose among the initiates of the martial arts and she took readily to the lessons of wisdom he had inherited from the old mortal man that had been his own teacher. But the time has come for her to see the world for herself. Maybe one day she will return, ready to take up his mantle as a teacher. | Many years later while ensuring the safety of the blooming monastery's lands he found a young girl, half starved and close to death, who would soon become as a daughter to him.

What little money Nuwa has she was given as gifts on in thanks for her help and is usually given away again just as quickly. As a consequence she has enough to live a modest life but does not suffer the temptation of greater luxuries. Sometimes, especially in Nexus, it is inconvenient, but then a honest plea can get you pretty far as well. | What little money Nuwa has she was given as gifts on in thanks for her help and is usually given away again just as quickly.

Nuwa's memories of her early childhood are vague. Her mother's love, the feeling of safety in her father's arms, a place she only knows as 'home'. Then there's the frightening images of her father returning home with fear in his eyes one day, her mother helping her to pack her toys and then a hasty flight from home. A succession of strange and foreign places follows in her mind's eye as the young family travels far and wide, never staying in one place for more than a few days. But clearest in her memories are the moments as her mother admonishes her to wait while she and father go to take care of something and the awful feeling of abandonment as even after hours and then days neither of them returns to her. | Nuwa's memories of her early childhood are vague.
