Clothing Style

Nakeeta tends to gravitate toward reds and reddish-brown colors for her clothing, specifically mahogany. She tends to have a somewhat sexy punk-ish vibe to her outfits, and she is always very particular about the general percentage of skin she shows with her outfits. If she's wearing a low cut top she'll typically couple it with a long skirt or pants, and if she's wearing a short bottom her top will probably be rather modest. Even her "casual" outfits tend to be rather fashionable and mildly extravagant. Nakeeta is fond of belts, boots, gloves, and her signature pair of goggles, so she has a very mild steampunk feel to her outfits (save for the fact there's no Victorian influence). Her earrings and jewelry tend to be gold, and she tends to like thick golden necklaces and bracelets over thin ones.

Personality

Nakeeta is a spunky, headstrong, and rather bossy pop star who flaunts her success and fortune. She is confident to the point of being arrogant, sassy, and depending on her company she has a habit of sounding rather flirty. She enjoys having an exciting and opulent lifestyle, and she spends most of her time when she's not performing or doing any of the involved prep work or traveling she enjoys going to parties, socializing, and basking in the general demonic environment. Although she's liked by her close music group members, most people that know her in person consider her to be high maintenance and a bit of a brat. She can be selfish and condescending at times, and she tends to be a little stingy when it comes to lazy people or beggars. She's by no means uncharitable though, since she does regularly donate to worthy causes and sends funds/supplies home to help out the village, but she is very harsh toward people who try to get freebies or favors from her when they're perfectly well off already. She hates lazy freeloaders more than anything, and she's very likely to pull some strings to make such people worse off if they try to take advantage of her.

Nakeeta is outspoken and assertive in any situation she happens to be in. Even though she can frequently act like a diva, she takes all her performances and her music in general very seriously. Unfortunately this also means she can be pretty harsh toward mistakes, or at least stupid mistakes rather than honest ones. In general, she also has a habit of being particularly condescending toward most men, for her home environment of essentially all-women fostered the mindset of viewing men as only things to be conquered. She's more open-minded since she's been living away from home for years now, but she still greatly prefers female company in general and is much more harsh and slow to trust toward strangers who are men. She's obviously better about it once she has warmed up to them though, since she has no issues with her musical group or the reoccurring crew members.

Backstory

Although she was the middle sibling of her family, Nakeeta was often spoiled by her grandmother, who served as a guardian after their mother passed away and their father left. She got along rather well with her older sister, Neoni, but she tended to tease her younger brother, Neoka, and would usually talk their grandmother into scolding him more harshly when he would get into trouble. This made their early relationship rather rocky, but it was likely that she was jealous of him being so "special" for being the inheritor of their ancestor's ability to shapeshift. Neoka at one point suffered a rather severe injury when a mysterious beast teeming with dark energy attacked him, and shortly after he recovered he ran away from home without warning. 

Nakeeta was partially annoyed by her brother's rash behavior, but she gradually got the urge to get out into the world too. She spurned the majority of her combat training to pursue her passion for dance and music, which her grandmother found somewhat superfluous, but she never tried to dissuade her from her desire to leave the village. Nakeeta eventually left for Emdrica, where she met her future music group members by going to essentially every music event and audition opportunity she could find in the city. Their success grew quickly once they found a manager and then company willing to take them on, and Nakeeta's reputation as a Daliarivon star and performer continues to grow into the present day. 

They frequently tour Daliarivon and perform regularly at the demonic festivals held throughout the regions. Nakeeta is perfectly content with her life of success and stardom, but she's silently hoping her popularity and outreach might potentially help her find out what happened to her missing brother.
