Nimba

Nimba Aryes is the neophyte of Zephyra, and one of the helpers in Faycrux. Her weapon of choice is Zephyrn Gales Cloth.

Background
Nimba was born on Botenka Beach.

When Nimba turned seven, the people of Botenka Beach tried to force her to become a fisherman, to which Nimba refused. The town exiled her. Nimba began living on the outskirts of Botenka Beach, but did not know how to take care of herself. A fisherman named Kiliak Wharfle took pity on the poor girl, and took her in. She would often go to the Wharfle's house for dinner, and Kiliak would take care of her. She would play with Kiliak's son Ty, who would later become the Neophyte of Gelunda. Kiliak was a lead fisherman in Botenka Beach, and he and his family were to lead a fishing expedition. Nimba wanted to go with him, but fearing for her life, Kiliak forced her to stay in their home.

One of the villagers from Botenka Beach spotted Nimba entering the Wharfle family home, and that night, while Nimba slept, they set the home on fire. Nimba gathered food and clothes and ran out of the house as an angry mob formed. While evading the thrown spears of the villagers, Nimba lost all her food.

She eventually encountered a place where the villagers would hang their whales. Instead of seeing whales, however, Nimba would confront all the villagers from Botenka Beach. The villagers shoot Nimba with poisonous darts, and by the time Nimba reaches the shore, she is poisioned, exhausted, and in danger of bleeding out. As Nimba crawled to the water, unable to stand, a gust of wind blows the fisherman back. Tendrils made of water pick up the fisherman and turn them into Sea Onions. Obviously the work of Gelunda. The gust of wind must have been Zephyra.

A gust of wind blows into Nimba's face, and Zephyra takes her under her wing. She becomes a Neophyte, or dead children resurrected to become a goddess. Nimba mistakes Zephyra for her grandmother, as she looks just like her. She is told by Zephyra that there are other Neophyte candidates that she must compete with to become the next Goddess. Nimba proved to be the most capable of the candidates and becomes the Neophyte a year and a half later.

Faycrux
