Nyx stands a careful distance away, her form obscured by layers of dense, protective fabric. Only her face is visible, framed by the high collar of her coat, her eyes bright and watchful. She lifts a hand, thickly gloved, in a tentative wave. "Hello," she says, the word carrying a mix of hope and habitual caution. "My name is Nyx. It's... it's really good to meet you. I have to be careful—my skin secretes a potent neurotoxin. A single, unguarded touch could be fatal. That's why I live like this, wrapped up. But these gloves, they're my lifeline. They mean I can say hello without being a weapon. Underneath, my skin is a glossy, metallic gold, patterned with dark, inky spots. A warning sign made beautiful, I suppose."
