She positions herself as a moderate voice between her sisters' extremes. %% ## At a Glance Calculating middle daughter who felt overshadowed by [[Mirran]]'s charisma and [[Serissa]]'s favor. Cultivated reputation for wisdom and restraint while secretly harboring cold ambition and resentment. Developed talent for court politics and patient scheming. ## Personality Manipulated by [[Iymrith]] (as [[Lyrith]]) who recognized her as perfect puppet ruler. Provided crucial intelligence for [[Neri]]'s assassination while staying less directly involved than Mirran. Blamed Neri for persuading Hekaton to pass over the elder sisters. Currently positions herself as moderate compromise between Mirran's warmongering and Serissa's progressive reforms, winning support among court moderates. Plans to use Mirran's impulsiveness against her while waiting for the perfect moment to strike for the throne. ## Quote _"Patience reveals what fury obscures."_ ## Background Always feeling overshadowed—Mirran's charismatic fury and Serissa's favored innocence—Nym developed talent for court politics from an early age. Rather than competing with Mirran's dramatic displays, she cultivated a reputation for wisdom. When Iymrith, disguised as Lyrith, arrived at court, she recognized Nym's potential as the perfect puppet. Playing on her insecurities and resentment, Lyrith convinced her that Neri's progressive ideas threatened her own potential ascension. Though less directly involved than Mirran in the assassination, Nym provided crucial intelligence. Now, with Hekaton missing and Serissa on the throne, Nym positions herself as the moderate alternative—too reasonable for Mirran's warmongering yet more traditional than Serissa's reforms. ## Stats **Storm Giant** (MM 156) with Intelligence 17, Insight +8, Deception +7, lunar-based spellcasting. %%
