Nyx Baskerville is the second daughter of a small viscount. She has 3 elder brothers and 1 elder sister, all of whom are aiming to inherit the fathers title and county, leading to constant power struggles. Perhaps because she was the youngest, or because she didn't talk much and just spent her time in the library Nyx was left out of the competition for a long time. This was intentional, understanding her position quite early on she decided to look uninterested in family matters and acted coldly, it also helped that she did not possess the characteristic red eyes of her family and that one of hers was black instead. As the power struggle got worse and one of her sibling was found dead one night, she decided to completely leave the family, renounced any claim rights and decided to become an adventurer.
