[b]Skills/Abilities:[/b] An expert knife thrower with quick arm reflexes and nimble fingers. Flexible and agile, she is very skilled in acrobats, and is particularly capable of performing parkours. [b]History:[/b] Nadya and her family were members of a troupe of travelling performers based in Remes. Nadya had been trained in gymnastics almost immediately after she'd learn to walk, and, by her ringmaster's recommendation, she began to learn knife-throwing when she was eleven. Her combination of acrobats and knife-throwing made her performance unique and awe-inspiring, and Nadya was hailed as the star of the troupe. But the happy times did not last long, since, in just a few months after her rise to stardom, the plague struck the lands, killing more than half of the troupe - including Nadya's parents and her youngest sister. The decline of resources halted demands for performers, and the troupe was forced to disband. The remaining members went on separate ways - some even trying to flee to other kingdoms. Nadya herself followed her ringmaster to Sulture, while her two remaining siblings left for Westmarch with some other performers. But things never got better. The Plague had spread throughout the lands, and with little opportunities for making money, the two started to loot and steal for a living - as many other has done. Competition for resources escalated, and the ringmaster was killed during a brawl over some spilled grain. Now left alone, Nadya travelled to Westmarch, hoping to reunite with her younger siblings. She managed to find her brother by pure chance, and learnt from him that their other sister had also fallen from the plague - as had their foster families. Unfortunately, this reunion was interrupted by Blightlord's invasion. Nadya managed to use her agility escape, but she was forced to abandon her brother in the process, and his final cry as he was ravaged and devoured by the demons haunted her until this day.[/hider]
