Clothing Style

Neai tends to dress in the typical style of most Arborian missionaries, which consists of a black under-layer and a primarily green tunic or short robe. Since she's on the move frequently, her outfits are optimized for travel and aren't too ornate. She does have slightly fancier robes when at the missionary home base city, but she rarely is home so she doesn't wear them much. She tends to wear her tunics/robes with simple pants or leggings along with practical and durable boots. Neai doesn't accessorize much at all, aside from occasional hair ties and clips to keep her hair up.


Personality

Neai considers herself to be a rather typical missionary for the Arbyr Element, Arboria. She takes her responsibilities very seriously and tends to show no fear or hesitance no matter where her assignments may take her. She can come off as a bit stiff and serious when approached in a personal manner, but she can be a very down to earth and kind person when looking at the bigger picture. Neai tries not to become too attached to other people in a personal sense to keep the relationship from being distracting, but that doesn't mean she can't be loyal and committed to others. She tends to work best with people when it involves her work, since it obviously doesn't distract her from her goals when these people are relevant.

Neai approaches her problems and tasks logically and with a level head, and she has the patience to take a slow and thoughtful method over anything brash. That being said, she's not against taking risks and can actually be rather dauntless when it comes to facing danger for her work. She can be a touch stubborn and difficult to talk out of things when there are no other or implausible alternatives, so she seems rather one-tracked with her mindset. She is utterly devoted to carrying out Arboria's will, and there isn't a force in the Eternity that will stand in her way.

  • Although kind and good-natured, she's not particularly exciting or has a good sense of humor
  • A bit too serious about her work and will take any risk to accomplish her goals
  • Tends to avoid opening up to others too much and sees most friendly relationships to be rather distracting

Backstory

Neai was born and raised in the heart of Arboraka, both of her parents being missionaries for the Arbyr Element, Arboria. She was brought up to be a responsible and dedicated force of nature who worked with others to help sustain and nourish it. There was no question in her mind while growing up that she wanted to be a missionary as well, and she is currently one of many missionaries traveling the Eternity to spread the Element's growth and to tend to suffering environments across many worlds.

In recent years, she came across a severely injured young man, Pyro, from Cycleandre while she was traveling through Yamila. She tended to his wounds until he was able to travel again, and they parted ways for a while until they encountered each other again in the city of Regretful Ends. Two thugs were harassing her, but the young man helped her drive them off. Pyro offered to escort her to her next destination as thanks for saving his life previously, and although Neai insisted, and still insists, that he doesn't owe her anything, he to continues to repay her for her kindness to him.

Although it wasn't their initial intention, the two have now been traveling together for years now. They have an unspoken partnership and implicitly trust each other. Pyro remains utterly loyal and very protective of Neai, treating her almost like a princess with how much he is willing to serve her. Neai is grateful for his companionship and aid in her missions, since although she can take care of herself, she's been more comfortable with traveling with a partner and can tackle larger problems together.


Trivia:

  • Neai was originally a character made by a close friend and 5th grade classmate who played with a small group of us on the playground at recess. We played a little fantasy role playing game referred to as “The Game” basically every day, which consisted of us running around pretending to be magical creatures.
    • Neai was one of four characters that this friend would cycle through playing as, the other three being Whira Raynai, Pyro, and Koiji.
    • Neai was also originally a boy, since this friend was a boy.
    • After losing contact with this friend after he moved when we in middle school, I continued developing his characters for use in my stories, since they still played a role in them.
  • Neai and Pyro were still traveling partners in their original iteration when I first started using them on my own. Pyro was still somewhat of a bodyguard toward Neai when they were both male, but as I started writing them together it felt like they were closer than just friends. Of course, this happened when I was still young and didn't know that gay couples "were a thing," so I figured if they were going to be together, then I would just turn Neai into a girl instead.
    • Obviously I'm older and more open minded, so I got conflicted between keeping Neai as a girl since she's been that way for the longest duration of time or maybe turning them back into a boy as they were originally.  I figured genderfluid/nonbinary would be a good choice to be the best of both worlds and also add some extra nuance to it.
  • Neai was originally a raccoon, and I made her humanoid design on my own. Her only notable feature was a leaf symbol somewhere on her body, so I made her humanoid form have a leaf tattoo over one eye.
