Very, very near-sighted; nearly blind without glasses.

The illegitimate daughter of a minor Ishgardian noble, Nikoletta had set her sights upon joining the Order of Knights Dragoon from a young age.
Eager to prove herself and with a strong sense of justice, she made her way from a squire to a Knight for House Haillenarte, later joining the Order of Knights Dragoon to aid in the Dragonsong War.
As remarkably talented and ruthless with the spear as she is kind and dependable outside of the battlefield, she left the Orders and disappeared from Ishgard suddenly and for reasons undisclosed.
Outside of the battlefield, Nikoletta is polite and warm, presenting as rather cheerful and playful. She's prone to joking around when friendly with somebody, though remains respectful of others' boundaries.
Loves the finer things in life and will present herself with the manners expected of a lady of her standing.
As much as she likes getting work done, she can be a bit irritable if things don't go in her favor or if she's gone too long without a break. She can be prone to making mistakes and leaping in headfirst without much thought into her actions, let alone their consequences.

Merc for Hire:
Do you have a mark that needs hunting? Do you need a bodyguard? Nikoletta is happy to lend her spear for just about any cause and can't really afford to be too picky about the work.
Knights of Ishgard:
Anybody who frequented Ishgard or was a part of any Order would have seen her doing drills or marching with House Haillenarte.
She used to bear their noble crest, but doesn't any longer...
Relaxation:
She can't be working all the time! Nikoletta is prone to poking her head into taverns or venues between jobs. Come say hello! She's very cheery.
Aethersense:
Though Nikoletta has no magic to wield for her own, she does seem to have pretty vast untapped pools of aether with a draconic flair.
I'm happy to work with any hooks you have with your character!
Niko is available for all types of RP: long-term, short-term, one-shots, mature, slice-of-life, and mature/dark/erotic. I really do prefer long-term interactions and character/story building, and would like if anything permanent or traumatic (like severe injury) be discussed first.
F-list here.

Thanks for reading this! I'm a roleplayer in my 20s and prefer to play with other 20s+ people as well.
I'm in the Central time zone and work weird hours, so I'm not the most consistent. Sorry! You can catch me in game if you see me free, or feel free to ask me for my Discord. If we have plans to set something up, I'm happy to share - I just don't want to put it on my carrd.
I don't play with people who call their characters futas/traps.
I'm super LGBT+ friendly, but I play with characters, not fetishes.
That being said, I love playing with characters who are trans or fall anywhere inside or outside of the gender binary! Just don't be weird!
I am not my character; IC =/= OOC. I'm in a relationship in real life and really don't want to get into any RP drama. I'm just here to write and make stories and have fun!
