3) Characteristics:

Background: Mistral is known across the World of Remnant for its thriving artistic culture and Naeva Tacitus is the daughter of two successful contributors to this movement. Her mother is Sabrina Magnus, a huntress and author; while her father is Onyx ‘Lucky-T’ Tacitus, a huntsman and renowned sculptural artist. Having been raised in the upper echelons of a culture of artistry she has a strong interest in all forms of art; particularly clay sculpting and music.

Naeva was naturally a gifted singer and sculptor, splitting her time between learning to mold clay from her father and training with a vocal coach, she did not aspire to follow her parent’s footsteps as a huntress until her teenage years; instead planning her future as a singer. At the age of twelve she performed her first stage show in a musical rendition of The Story of The Seasons at her school; during which she was scouted for a local opera house.

Over the course of the next year, she performed in several more shows; however shortly before her thirteenth birthday she began to have trouble speaking and singing, leading to being diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis; she underwent surgery to remove the thymus gland and was placed on medications to keep the condition under control but largely lost her ability to speak, putting an end to her musical career before it could begin.

Onyx took long term mission leave to look after his daughter as she began to spend more time sculpting; no longer being able to sing, and eventually began to train her for combat when she took an interest in the life of a huntress; with her aura unlocked her skill and interest in sculptural art manifested itself in her semblance as her father privately tutored her rather than sending her to combat school.

At the age of 16 her father gave her a motorcycle; a sapphire blue and silver Falun Industries sport bike that he named Nightingale; and taught her how to ride in order to grant his daughter more freedom when she enrolled at Haven the next year.

When Naeva started at Haven Academy, she was placed on team VLCN, partnered with Argento Caden and lead by Vidar Falun; along with his partner and girlfriend Livia Vitrum. The four meshed well, with all four being formidable warriors individually and all willing to cooperate in the field, they earned the nickname “the wrecking crew” among their classmates with a reputation for massive collateral damage in the field alongside a high mission success rate.

During team VLCN’s third year at Haven, they qualified for the Vytal Festival and travelled to Vale where they formed a friendly rivalry with ARGN, a second year Beacon team. Naeva in particular took interest in Garen Waldgrun, a hawk faunus and the partner of the team’s leader. While ARGN was not participating in the Vytal Festival, the two teams clashed in numerous sparring matches both as individuals and teams.

Garen’s lack of romantic interest did not particularly bother Naeva as she pursued a closer friendship with him, and they were in Vale together when the Battle of Beacon began; leading to them fighting as partners to make their way back to the school and meet up with the rest of their teams.

After the Fall of Beacon team VLCN returned to Mistral and Naeva parted ways with Garen, who remained in Vale to help protect the kingdom along with some of the other displaced students.
