KH-Reopened NPC-- Nardea

Name: Nardea
Alias: Duchess of Darkness (by Wonderland inhabitants)
Age Range: 18-22
Height: 5’0
Weight Range: 110lbs
Orientation: Straight
Elemental Affinity: Shadows

Weapon: Darkness Dress//Shadow Spikes
_{Formed from the darkness of her dress and the shadows it and other objects cast. These move in bee-lines for their targets before shooting up like an arrow at them. They stay in place for three seconds before dropping back into the ground. She can only use ten Spikes at a time.}

Abilities/Attacks

<sub>Spear: This is the spikes’ typical movement of shooting out of the ground (see above.) They drop back in three seconds.

Skewer: A spike jumps from her skirt about three feet into the air at a target, making a lovely ark as it does so. This is a one-kit-KO. Can be attempted on regular beings, but the accuracy is very bad. If it actually does hit someone, the damage can take away ¼ their health. Usually this is used to make the arcs so that the other creature’s moving space is reduced, though the darkness drips into the ground in the same three seconds.

Blooming Shield: Defensive maneuver, since she doesn’t move all that much. The shadows of her dress rise entirely around her to protect her from an attack. Again, three second life span for them.

Sink: A cheap “run away!” move. Usually used after her shield. She sinks into the ground and moves a ways back, out of reach.

Special Ensnarement Thorn (More commonly called “Shadow Pokey Stabby Attack) A pool of darkness forms below the enemy. If they don't move, they begin to slowly sink into the darkness, restricting their movement greatly. Then multiple, large spikes of darkness shoot out from beneath them, skewering them from each and every side~</sub>


Clothing: Darkness Dress. It glows yellow in swirls on the skirt, making its own shadows for her to use against others.

Original World: Radiant Garden // Currently resides in a forgotten, ruined garden in Wonderland

Personality:
Constantly crying. As the human girl Nardea’s pained heart, she feels that pain every moment and can’t seem to heal. When disturbed, she almost always immediately attacks. Even if it’s not immediate, it’s still coming, just more secretive in hopes of killing whoever it is quickly.
On the rare occasion she actually talks to someone (usually another Heartless) she’s just overall very depressed and sad.

Goals: To share her misery and pain with everyone else.

Weaknesses: Bright light. If she can’t make a shadow, she can’t fight. Also, if she ever changes out of her dress, she’s unable to summon as many spikes. Just depends on how much she’s still wearing. Keyblades will screw her up, like all Heartless. Movement also- Every actual movement she makes causes her pain.

History: Please refer to Dranaex for their Somebody History.
After being thrown away by her body, Nardea came to be in Wonderland. She’s been their “forever” (she claims) and hardly ever goes anywhere else. She feeds on the hearts of the unsuspecting that wander into her gloomy garden of dead plants and broken statues. The inhabitants of Wonderland have given her a nickname due to this: “Duchess of Darkness,” because of her fine clothing.

Extra Notes
>Has no shoes. Walks around barefoot.. …When she walks.
>More than walking, she floats on darkness. Less painful to her.
>She curtseys as a taunt.
>Her hair is knee-length. Human!Nardea’s hair was butt-length, but it’s been 5 years since Heartless!Nar’s had a haircut.
>Doesn’t know about Dranaex. Probably wouldn’t want to. If she did, she’d probably try to kill her, or Bixatas.
