Description

This woman is of average height. Hair is deep brown, and shines in the light even though it is pulled back into a braid. Holding most of her hair back, yet some strands left to play around her oval face is a leather braided headband. Hazel eyes then peer out, they reflect from her tanned skin though it is the undertone of green that gives them more dimension and life. There then is the freckles, they rest across her nose and over her cheeks, acting as a nice crown atop of ruby lips.

The woman's body is lithe. Wearing a pair of fitted brown pants, they travel down her leg where they meet a pair of darker brown boots. The well worn items finish mid-calf and are tied tight with laces. Over a cream coloured shirt is a snug leather jacket. It is held close with buckles and gives a good ease of movement.

Around her waist is a belt, it holds a pouch, a flute, and what looks to be a carving knife. Slung over her shoulder is a sack, going right to left.

History

Born in the Spring of 1433, Nimah is the third eldest to Ilid and Mary Dearway. She has two older brothers, Merick and Drewin, and a younger sister who had been killed by a wolf, her name was Beth.

To most outsiders the life of this Dearway girl was quiet -- but that is far from the truth. Yes, she liked to adventure about, play in the woods -- which she often did with her long time childhood friend Aruan, but it was her father and his passion for the drink that would keep her closer to home then desired But it was because of that that she turned to her craft, which was carving . It wasn't all that bad in many ways, there was no real violence, that was until one day the drink made him pass out and he neglected to watch Beth and she was killed by wolves on their farm. That was when things turned, and Nimah, just hitting the age of a teen at that time, was left to pick up all the pieces.

Merick had moved out, but Drewin was around from time to time, being a hunter he would be gone for days or weeks at a time. Ilid grew more violent after that incident, and he would sometimes hit her mother, or throw things. He even took a swing at Drewin too, but the man who had became a mute swung back and the two parted and hadn't spoken since. Her parents relationship when downhill, and Nimah had suffered a lot of pain in hurt with watching all of this, and the odd time being subject to vile words and insults. Still she could not part from her family, could not walk away and allow her mother to be alone and hurt, so she remaind to try to fix what could be and hope that it would all change.

These reasons are what held her back from doing what she really wanted in life. Some of it typical, wanting a family of her own (And never allowing it to be the way she had it growning up) but much of it was wanting to own her own shop and sell her carvings and wood work. to be independant, but having to deal with the matters at home (and silently at that, as it was never let on to the other townsfolk) left all her dreams in the dust. There was also a lot resentment to her father who couldn't seem to get his act together.

After all that time, all the pain and loss and hurt the family had indured, there was still more to come. The wolves are relentless and one night she had fallen pray to one. The wolf nearly killed her, it tored of her leg which now causes her to limp. And it killed her father who tried to help out in a drunken stooper. But if it wasn't for Braden Rushlight, who happened to be visting, her life would of been gone as well.

With her fathers death, though sad, there was also a sense of freedom. Not having to take care of her family anymore, to deal with that shame and hurt, Nimah is now able to move forward in her life. Which has had more trials, but, as always, she seems to pull through them and keep going, wanting to make her life better then it was in the past.

She is now married to Braden Rushlight, and the two have one daughter, Willow.
