Character:Nuwa

Nüwa
Dawn Caste aspiring sword-saint

A quiet and serious young woman. South-eastern descent, tanned skin, brown eyes, black hair, usually clad in green, carries two slightly curved swords.

Motivation

To free the people of the east from false prophets and tyranny so they can find their way to enlightenment.

Anima

When Nüwa taps into her 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 Nüwa's head - the Crown of Swords, a banner that has struck fear into the hearts of her opponents since times immemorial.
