Occupation: Student ~ Professional Sneaky-Person :|
Sexuality: Open-Minded
Olympian Parent: Proteus
Mortal Relatives: Adopted by the Nelson's. Frank and Jill.
Adoptive father: Jimmy (Jill) Nelson, 290 years old, Jimmy is a satyr. Nimh doesn't approve of certain people's gender based names.. And granted him with the name Jill. He is a successful business owner that well.. He.. Uh- okay it's uncertain what he does to make all the money that he has considering he's half goat. But whatever it is; he's good at it. It is assumed it has something to do mwith animals and nature because of their large amount of exotic pets and the fact he smells like tree bark.
Adoptive mother: Fridah (Frank) Nelson, 285 years old, Fridah is a hamadryad. Nimh also didn't approve of her name.. And named her Frank. She is a stay-at-tree mom, and owns an online flower shop, that people can order shipments from. She is probably the nicest nymph one will ever meet, and the most overprotective.
Siblings: It is unknown if she has any siblings.

Birthplace: Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania
Hometown:She was raised in her birthplace of Transylvania until about ten days ago when she was flown to America.
Physical Statistics
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 115lbs
Hair Color: Nimh cuts and dyes her hair frequently, it is almost a different color every week. Oddly enough is is healthy as a horse's but how she keeps it that way is a secret. She has side bangs and her style could be described as "scene" or "rave".
Eye Color: She has hazel eyes that change color constantly. Mostly they are seen as brown or goldish auburn. Sometimes she wears contacts to change the color as well for eccentric qualities. She is also an expert makeup artist and can make the lamest products look amazing.
Piercings: has several piercings, the first would be her ears which have four holes in each and are gauged. The second would be nose piercings, she has a septum piercing (the bull kind) and a stud on her left nostril. She also has A Monroe piercing (like marylyn monroe's freckle). Note; she doesn't wear all of these at once.
Tattoos: nope she is afraid of needles... Well.. Despite the piercing kind.
Distinguishing features: Her boldest an most distinguishing feature would probably be her hair. It is so crazy and colorful, if she wasn't hiding you would see it from a mile away. Her second would be her eyes, hazel brown and always changing (like her hair hehe). The last would probably be her fashion sense, if she isn't wearing something insane.. Then she isn't having a good day.
Style: Crazy? Is that a style? Because if it is that's what Nimh's is. She wears what most people would describe as "rave" clothing. Tutu's, neon, black, skinny jeans and Fuzzy outfits. She likes SpiritHoods, (those faux fur animal hats) and owns all of them. She also has monster Fuzzies, which are like those fluffy shin cover shoe things. Very hard to describe. She can pull off almost anything, and most of the time her outfits don't make sense.

Personality: Nimh is hard to explain and easy to explain. Her thoughts are frantic, and she is extremely weird. She is the type of girl that if you find pouring syup in your shoe at two in the morning, you wouldn't mind or you'd be used to it. She is adorable and sweet, she likes hugs and kisses like anyone else. She's eccentric but loving in that Teddy bear way, that you just want to pick her up and put her in your pocket. She has a wide imagination, and loves to draw and find out new adventures. With all her lovable qualities it is not to say she is to be underestimated though. She can be just as deadly as the demigod who has been training for decades. But not in the way that you would see her threatening people or getting in their faces. She doesn't consider her warnings as threats, but when she speaks them she is always telling the truth. It is never a good idea to test her warnings though, because she is the type that would kill anyone without even a second glance. She would happily do it with a grin or no expression at all. She's the type you see in those horror movies with the little smiling child who just cut someone into itty bitty pieces. But no one followed the warnings! So yeah.
She enjoys the small things in life that people look over, the beauty of a tree- the grass- a building- a car- a person- a bug and so forth. Things people would be too busy to stop and think about. Her mind is always racing and swirling with knowledge about the little things in life as well as the big things. She questions stuff people normally wouldn't and though some would call her strange or weird or abnormal, she honestly wouldn't care. Nimh would be the one to say thank you to all those things. She is kindhearted and loving to everyone but don't ever call her stupid or dumb. Because she isn't and it is her biggest pet peeve. She is in fact extremely intelligent, she managed to finish high school when she was much younger through online courses. And is currently working on college although she is attending this school. She's doing it more for the experience rather then the education that she already knows.
In many ways she isn't innocent, she's been through the mill when it comes to crazy. Nimh understands more then what people give her credit for but she likes to play innocent. It's funny to watch everyone go all mother-goose and try and protect her "innocence". Its best not to go around trying to seduce her though, you might get a dagger in the foot. Or you'll be one of the lucky ones that survive.
History:
Nimh's past is fuzzy. She doesn't remember much outside of the orphanage but what she does remember wouldn't make sense to mortals. She knew of her biological mother, but knew no names.. Just faces. Her mother had black hair that fell in ringlets, high cheekbones and creamy soft skin. She liked to wear her hair up in a ponytail or a bun, and wore lots of color. When she was professional she wore black and when she wasn't it was usually splatter paint type dresses. Bright blues and vibrant reds. Greens and teals along with yellows and oranges. It was like a wonderland of clothing when she walked into her closet. When Nimh was three she remembered this story vividly, it would seem as though this were the only story she remembered. And the only time her mother ever talked to her in a serious tone. It was a story about how her and her father met. The woman said she was a painter when she had met her father. She was walking soundly, trying to find a place to paint the scenery when she rammed into his bench. Pushing the old man over. It seemed to frighten him so much from his slumber that he immediately jumped and started screaming and thrashing around. Yelling about annoying half-bloods and not touching him. Apparently she managed to calm him down and apologize for pushing him over. Made it up to him by buying him lunch and along the way ended up sleeping with him. Because women just did that now-a-days :|. There was no love or anything. No sticking around and hanging out; nope. Instead they parted their ways and never saw eachother again.
Nine months later in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania little Nimh was born. Three years passed and everything was going juuuusst fine until Oops! Where'd the baby go? She vanished! Oh no! Oh wait. There she is. No wait. That's .. Oh.. WHAT?
Nimh had had her first transformation. She was watching tv and eating her frootloops when her kitten mr. Whiskers started trying to drink the milk. Apparently the good ol' shove or push hadn't been working, so The baby did the only thing she could. She turned into a Red Panda. Right in the middle of breakfast. It scared poor Mr. Whiskers half to death. Satisfied with her results, Nimh turned back into her baby form and giggled like nothing happened. Mr. Whiskers seemed to have recovered from his momentary shock, but her mother on the other hand freaked out so much that she immediately called the orphanage. The people were so weirded out by the story they knew they HAD to take the baby. Especially if it's mother was rampaging on about it turning into an animal. That woman needed to be admitted.
They came and took her away at the tender age of 3, she lived most of her years growing up in the Liddel Orphanage: For the Mentally Unstable Youth. She was diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, and some other crazy-long word that she didn't care to memorize. All it meant was that she wasn't aloud around pointy objects or fire or water or anything for that matter that resulted in damage. But being a demigod.. That rule didn't really work nor matter. Anyways, her brain was (and is) kinda loopy and she spent more time as a Red Panda then she did when she was human. She seemed to learn things a bit quicker then everyone else and it weirded out the other orphans. She usually kept her distance from them and when she didn't she just asked weird questions about things she could see through the mist that they couldn't.
She went through families quicker then the self check out section at walmart. It wasn't that the families weren't nice or anything... Stuff just kept HAPPENING to her. Every time she got new home and felt like things were going good- BOOM! Wild giant animals would destroy the house, or monsters with horns and teeth and and and biting .. Stuff... Would chase her down. Atleast that's all she could say to describe these monsters when the family came home to a trashed house and a screaming child with a weapon hiding in the ventilation system. And then they would presume she was crazy, get her admitted into an asylum for the criminally insane and after a day or two the Orphanage would come and retrieve her. It was a constant never ending cycle.
That is.. until she met the Nelsons. They were a homely rich couple with a huge mansion and exotic animals for pets. They had spotted her right when they walked in the door, pointed her out and grinned like she was the best prize since an all expenses paid trip to Disneyland. After moving in she found out several things.. The first was that Frank was a nymph and Jill was a satyr. Nimh was partial to names though, and when they introduced themselves as Fridah and Jim- she decided to change that. Surprisingly they didn't mind as long as she was happy, they bought her all her outfits and hair dye. Anything she wanted - she was aloud to have within reason.
Frank and Jill told her of what she was, a half-blood. They weren't sure what type though, and even when Nimh told them what her powers were they still couldn't place it. Time passed and with it the amount of monsters increased. They had been following her almost every day, and the stench of the orphanage wasn't there to mask her. She was open and vulnerable now. The day came when a chimera had broken through the barrier and the defense mechanism of her new home. In order to save her new parents she caught its attention and fled. Running for nearly four miles until she melded with a crowd and made herself invisible. She lived on the streets, finding food and shelter where she could. It wasn't until 2 weeks later that she finally returned to her home. It was trashed and searched threw, Frank and Jill were no where to be found. But a note was left scrawled on a napkin in the lions' courters. It said something like 'Plane - 22 minutes. Start.' This was one of the things she had gone over with them about. If anything bad happened she would take a plane to America. It was odd though, the animals were okay and had been fed recently. Food was on the counter and so on.. So where could they have gone? She didn't know.
She called other people she knew to take care of the animals in case Jill and Frank weren't coming back. Gathering her clothes, and most of her belongings, she walked to the basement. The door was triple padlocked and had several codes one would need in order to get inside, luckily everything seemed okay and she entered. Nimh grabbed all the tickets, passports, and money she could find before opening a secret passage in a bookshelf (it was her idea hehe). She followed the tunnel for several hours until she came out the other end. Addressed by a man in black suit armer and a giant plane. From there she flew to America and from There to Here. It's only been ten days since she left, and now she's stuck here as a Junior. :)
Abilities:
~As a child of Proteus, Nimh as the ability to shape shift. If it breathes she can turn into it. It usually helps if she has seen the animal in person or been around it for a while, but that doesn't go to say she can't turn into one by thinking about it. Because she can.
~Given to her by her father, she has the ability to be invisible. Not literally, but more of a trick to the mind. If she wishes not to be seen, she would completely vanish like being invisible. She could be 2inches from you and you would look right passed her. Everytime.
~Proteus was known for his gift of prophesy and his wide mass of all-knowing knowledge. And so, he passed down to his children the ability to see small glimpses of the future. She also seems to know things that she has no idea how she came to know. Like every word and definition in the dictionary or the color of your underwear you wore on Tuesday.
~Seeing as Proteus is a God of the sea she can also breathe underwater or hold her breath for a long time but why do that if she doesn't need to right? :|
Strengths:
•Shapeshifting quickly
•She is very fast, if you catch her it is almost impossible to keep ahold.
•breathing underwater, she's still getting ahold of it a bit- keeps forgetting :|
•Extremely adorable 83, she can totally win you over just by giving you the face.
•Blending in and Adapting, she can easily adapt to any situation and despite her vibrant hair colors is able to blend in well.
•Becoming invisible, and hiding; it may seem impossible not to see a crazy girl with rainbow hair - but she can do it.
Weaknesses:
~Big crowds, she dislikes them with a passion. You could say she has a phobia of them, but in a way she can manage if in a crisis.
~Though Nimh can be very outgoing, a lot of the time she is extremely shy. She gets to the point where she is so nervous, she will abruptly turn into whatever comes to mind.. Don't be surprised if this happens. Cause it happens a lot.
~Can get bored easily. If she finds your conversation is boring her~ she will definitely walk away to find something to fix her boredom. Try not to take it personally, it's just an affect she has gotten after having to listen to Nannies nag and nag and na- you get it.
~Addicted to Nutella... Yeah.
~She can be too blunt.. What she doesn't have in friends she makes up in her amount of enemies.
Fears:
-Being sent back to the orphanage. It would seriously suck.. Not to mention she'd lose five dollars to One eyed Billy who bet on it.
-Watching a friend die.. She doesn't have many of them, so when she does it's kind of important to keep them alive.
-Being crushed to death. She could be human or animal- it doesn't matter. The anxiety of being impaled by something frightens her.
Other Information:
Quirk:
•She doesn't know this but she has a knack for nibbling on her sleeves when she's scared or nervous. She is in fact so oblivious to this that she thinks some type of animal is chewing away the fabric.
Ethereal Gift:
Nimh's father gifted her with a beautiful one handed sword. The handle is made of the thick hide of a probably grumpy walrus. Fitted perfectly to her hand as if it were meant to be wielded by her. The balance of the blade is perfectly measured and is seemingly weightless. The blade is made of the finest celestial bronze, with one edge smoothly sharpened to slice into enemies, and the other edge jagged and surated- fit for causing messy painful deaths. It's best features are that if the holder would like, it can transform into any other weapon she could think of. Literally. Just like she can. It also has the ability to become seemingly invisible, but that means to everyone including herself. So best to be careful! Don't wanna accidentally bludgeon herself to death! This feature takes a lot of juice though, and will take time to recharge. Along the flat of the blade is the word "αλλάσσων" which means allásso̱n or in translated to English as "Shifter".
