Eyes: Dark Blue
Personality: Growing up with four brothers in a rural setting Nixie is as tough as nails and has a rather tomboy attitude at times. Of course a life surrounded by family has left her with a need to be with people, she hates to be alone and pretty much friendless in New Orleans has left her rather depressed, the red head often frequenting its many bars in search of company. The Hunter part of Nixie however is ruthless and highly skilled, the darker side of her soul enjoying the hunt, always wanting bigger and better jobs that price really doesn’t bother her. Despite her almost two sided personality, Nixie is easy going most of the time, only getting serious when it needs to be. History: The youngest of five children and the only girl to boot, Nixie’s life was far from boring in the Scottish highlands. The family lived and still live in a small community outside Inverness, her father working on a nearby farm whilst her mum worked in town as a secretary so as to be able to support their five children. A loner at school, Nixie just always hung out with her brothers who were more than happy to have her around thanks to her sharp wit and capabilities to give as well as she got when she got into fights with other school boys. In her teenage years, jut shortly after turning 14, her brother Toby was wooed and then spirited away by a rouge master vampire. Her father, brothers and herself searched for weeks, months for Toby with no luck and no leads to his whereabouts, the only info they could gleam was that the vampire woman who took him had emerald green eyes. It was a lost cause, but Nixie wouldn’t give up, her father after much coaxing training her year after year until she became the Executioner for Inverness and surrounding areas. It was in those years that she claimed the name of Morrigan, the Celtic goddess of death, and thus why she got the tattoo of blackthorn, the plant being one of the goddess’s symbols. It was her search for her brother that lead Nixie to America and then to New Orleans where she continues the fight to discover Toby’s whereabouts. Strengths: Nixie has made hunting the preternatural her whole life since she was fourteen, and through perhaps both her Scottish heritage and religious upbringing has developed an almost “old fashioned” way of hunting, her favourite weapons of choice being the bow and arrow and crossbow, silver of course. Seeing as her father had limited weaponry in the way of firearms, except of the typical rifle, Nixie was trained in the use of every other available piece of arsenal first. Knives, spears, stakes, anything that was possible to create from her surroundings she made and then practiced with, both on foot and horse back. It has thus given her the handy skill of being able to prize a collection of dangerous items from just about anything when the going gets rough. Weaknesses: Nixie is a people person and being alone and lonely often leaves her highly distracted which isn’t always a good thing on jobs. She misses her family a lot, but knows she can’t return just yet, the red head still in search of her brother. Toby, the brother she is searching for is another weakness and often fuel fits of rage when things go wrong regarding his search. Quirks: Other than fighting talents, Nixie is fluent in Gaelic and a killer cook, able to create a three course meal from a tomato, block of cheese and a slice of bread. Other: One major scar runs from under her right breast to the small of her back across her stomach thanks to over zealous newly dead vampire with a kitchen knife.
