Appearance: Nyte stands just at five feet and five inches, though her demeanor and posturing seems to add several perceived inches to her naturally small stature. Her exact weight is unknown, and to call her "fat" would only be correct in the way that "fat" is the opposite of "thin" which is not a word Nyte would use to describe herself. A more accurate way to describe Nyte is as one who is quite blessed in the areas of chest and hindquarters, with a subtle protrusion of the belly, and strong arms and thighs. Long flows of very curly red hair float to around her lower back. She tends to keep it down and loose because even though she might not admit it, she takes enormous joy in the moments where the wind catches it and blows it behind and around her. Typically dressed in flattering jeans and whatever available shirt she decided to throw on under her trademark black hoodie, Nyte is quite obviously a creature of comfort. Due to an allergy to virtually all metal, she wears very little jewelry. The only exceptions being the seven surgical steel rings spaced evenly apart in either ear, and a stone heart pendant she ties around her neck with a long piece of black cord.
When Nyte speaks, her familial ties to England are quite evident. It's not that she uses an English dialect, per se, but rather that traditional English pronunciations permeate her non-regional American accent. This combined with her excellent posture and exquisite manners causes many to assume she is secretly the wild, rebellious daughter of some wealthy waspish family in the Northeastern part of the US, who has come to slum it with the less refined members of the Southern populace.
Personality: Nyte's personality has been directly derived from a childhood for which she holds no great affection. She feels that her parents placed a high importance on their careers, and even though they have spent years trying to convince their children that the experiences they have gained will help them as adults, Nyte is fairly certain that the ones they are actually trying to convince are themselves. She doesn't share a particularly close relationship with her parents or her siblings, but her grandfather is incredibly important to her. He taught her that learning, whether from others or yourself, is the most important thing you can do in this life. Nyte latched on to this idea, and has spent her life learning as much as she possibly can.
Through learning, Nyte discovered that in books, the people are exactly what they have been written to be, and no one ever really disappoints you. Nyte reads constantly now, as a means to escape the bitter reality she views her life to have been. She places a heavy importance on the ability to trust people, and even though she herself is quite trustworthy, the events of her life have made trusting others incredibly hard to do.
When Nyte does manage to develop friendships, she holds them very dear and to her, romantic relationships have never been anything more than friendships with sex. Her early life, spontaneity, and sarcastic sense of humour cause her to be viewed as the "cool friend," but Nyte's tendency to reject sincere compliments usually leads her back to a place of slight self loathing.
The one aspect of herself that Nyte does take pride in is her intelligence. Her fair grasp of French, Italian, Greek, and German often leads to her to be of a showoff, and throw large and impressisive foreign words and phrases into regular conversation. It is never her intent to use her intelligence to insult anyone else's, but her honesty at any cause policy does have a tendency to offend those around her.
In response to what she views as having been a completely abnormal childhood, Nyte’s goals for her future are centered around the idea of leading a normal life. It is for this reason that she made the decision to move to America, a country she has always viewed as being entirely ordinary. She plans to work basic jobs to pay the rent for the rest of her life. As long as she is allowed to make her own choices, learn every day, and create her own adventures, she is completely content.
History: Amelia March Thompson was born in Cambridge, just after midnight on March 6, 1997. As her siblings continued to be born during the daytime, she was quickly awarded the nickname of “Nyte.”
Due to being raised by a multinational pair of authors and Cambridge professors, Nyte was home-schooled along with her five siblings by her maternal grandfather until the age of 12. During this time she lived in both England and Cyprus, and studied several languages alongside a student’s basic math, literature, science, and history. At 12 she along with her siblings were sent to boarding schools, and Nyte chose to attend school in Marseille as a rebellious means of escaping what she viewed to be her parents’ negligent plan for forcing experiences upon their children.
While in France, Nyte quickly grew bored and began to act out. She became increasingly violent and sarcastic, and began experimenting with drugs and alcohol, the latter of which she still indulges in with too much regularity. Her behavioural issues soon affected her schooling, and she was almost expelled. After several bitter conversations with her parents, she disappeared for several months and resurfaced with an online GED and plans to leave Europe for good.
She had seen the hometowns of every member of her mother’s family, but had not once set foot in the birthplace of her father, and as far as she could figure, America was just about the farthest she could go. She booked a flight to Tennessee, a flight that would prove to be her final memory. “So there I was, drunk, on a plane, reeking of cat’s piss, clutching a rosary, and about to die.”
