__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description:
A petite, dark-haired, porcelain-skinned beauty isn't exactly an exotic look for Serendipity, but that's exactly what you will see when looking at Nadya. Everything about her seems fragile, like a delicate little flower. What of her skin that you can see is ghostly pale and absolutely flawless. Her body is slender and blossoming with girlish curves in all the correct places. Soft, plump lips are very kissable and slightly pouty. Her hair is long, straight, silky and gorgeous, with shades ranging from mocha to caramel. Look into those violet eyes and you will be lost in what seems an endless ocean of sorrow and regret.

When it comes to clothes she wears beautiful and elegant dresses, things one would expect to find a young woman of the court wearing. Silks and satins, of course, often very skillfully embroidered.

Personality:
There are so many things that could be said about Nadya, but one of the first things that come to mind is that she is painfully shy and quiet. She avoids talking to people or making friends, not wanting anyone to get too close to her. Being close to people means revealing things about you, and frankly, Nadya would just as soon forget her entire life. Another thing that can often be said about her is she is a very sad individual. Rarely does she smile, and those smiles are all sad, the bittersweet smiles of memories and regrets.

This does get in the way of her true personality, though. She is a very caring and compassionate person and hates to see others suffer. Nadya would give someone her last copper so that they could buy a meal rather than feel that they were going hungry and feeling that she could have helped. This person wouldn't even have to be a friend, or acquaintance, even. Some random stranger on the street could find themselves the object of her incredibly giving nature.

Let it be noted that Nadya is a very intelligent and clever girl, but she can be ungodly naïve at times and about certain things. Because of her massive scarring on the right side of her body, she's extremely self-conscious. She doesn't like to be touched and has never had a relationship for fear of rejection at the sight of her bare body.

History:
Twins Noah and Nadya were born to very loving parents. Unfortunately they both died in a riot when the twins were only two years old, so they didn't remember them very well. Their father's mother adopted them, although she seemed reluctant to take Nadya, she'd really only wanted Noah, but they had refused to give her the boy without her also agreeing to take the girl. Their mother's parents fought for custody, but lost because their fraternal grandmother had a considerable amount of money and social influence.

Nadya was immediately the black sheep of the tiny family. They had no contact with other relatives other than their grandmother. Noah always got better food, better toys, and more attention and praise. Nothing Nadya ever did was good enough for the hateful old woman. It was a miserable existence, but because of her very wealthy family, as alone and unwanted as she felt, Nadya never wanted for things. She received the best education, fine clothes, jewelry, and private tutors. Everything she could want but the love and acceptance of her own grandmother.

The relationship between Noah and Nadya was better than between Nadya and their grandmother. Noah loved his sister, but because of their grandmother, he felt superior to her. One day while they were playing in the manor gardens, something unthinkable happened. Some of the exotic pets their grandmother kept had gotten free of their cages on the grounds. Both children were attacked; Noah was dragged away almost immediately by a lion. Another of the large cats caught Nadya, mauling her badly before servants could come to her rescue. She was immediately taken to the healers. Excruciating hours passed, but they did save her from having to suffer amputation. Her right side from the waist down, however, was horrible disfigured and would leave ragged scars.

Noah's remains weren't found until the next morning, and so much flesh had been peeled away by the feeding frenzied cats that he wasn't even recognizable. Their grandmother was absolutely devastated. She had lost her most precious little grandson, her baby boy to replace her son that she had lost. Nadya suffered alone through months of intensive rehab, having to relearn to walk due to sever muscle damage to her leg. Her grandmother made it quite clear who she blamed for everything and who she would rather have survived the deadly attack.

Nadya did her best to just keep going, but she blamed herself for her brother's death just as much as her grandmother did. When she was sixteen she managed to somewhat move on from the accident and tried to lead a semi-normal life, but she'd become quite self-conscious and quiet. Her grandmother wanted nothing to do with her and she felt very alone.

Her loneliness has only become further compounded by the fact that her grandmother is sick and dying. She dreads taking over the family estate. Her grandmother is pressing her to marry, feeling that her granddaughter is not fit to actually manage her legacy. After all, it was all supposed to be left to Noah. The only reason anything at all is being left to Nadya is because she has no other heir.
