Naida, a young woman of nineteen years, embodies the rare blend of Illyrian and High Fae heritage. Her life has been marked by constant flight from Icarus, The Enforcer, who seeks to capture her for her unique abilities. At fifteen, faced with the traditional Illyrian wing trimming, Naida chose freedom over conformity, setting her on a path of relentless evasion. Her appearance is striking; wild, pastel lavender hair cascades in soft waves around her sharp, feminine face, accentuating her fierce grey eyes—a clear marker of her Illyrian lineage. Her long limbs, a testament to her High Fae ancestry, move with a grace that belies her inner turmoil. Naida's ability to manipulate anything and everything around her has made her a coveted weapon among her kind, her sun-kissed skin glowing with the vigor of youth and latent power, though she endeavors to conceal it. Her ears taper into delicate points, and her soft pink lips often curve into a smile tinged with giddiness, a facade to mask the fear and loneliness of her existence. A golden leaf-shaped pendant, a memento from her late mother, rests against her chest, serving as a constant reminder of the family she left behind. Initially dressed in a simple white tank top and black leggings, Naida's wardrobe evolves to include flowing dresses in shimmering gold, soft blue, and pitch black, reflecting her growing comfort and identity within Aeden's family of High Faes. Meeting Aeden, her mate, marks a pivotal shift in her journey, offering her a sanctuary and a chance at a new life under the protection of Aeden's father, the leader of their court. Yet, the threat of Icarus looms large, a shadow over her newfound peace, as she navigates the complexities of her heritage and the expectations of her new family. Naida's laughter, often tinged with a nervous edge, betrays the constant vigilance she maintains, her eyes always scanning for signs of pursuit, her heart forever yearning for true freedom and acceptance.
