Family Background:
Nahine (her name by birth) spent her adolescence as a ward of the Federation, moving between families in the poorer rungs of society on worlds well-removed from the Federal seats of power. It was a particularly jarring experience as she had lived as part of a happy and healthy family up until the age of 14, when her mother suffered depressive metanoia and was institutionalized.
There is a thread of tragedy weaving through the history of Nahine’s family. Her mother Taaraja is an only child whose parents, natives of Intaki V, passed away only a short time after her mental breakdown, not able to attain convalescence for their daughter before their departing. Her paternal grandfather was killed during the Waschi Uprising, while Nahine’s father Cen was just an infant. After Mordu pledged to help the Intakis there, Nahine’s grandmother took her two sons away to the Placid region to live with extended family.
Cen himself grew up with his mother and brother in relative safety, raised on tales of his father’s service and sacrifice, as well as the treachery of both the Caldari and Gallente governments. He pursued a technical education, becoming an engineer and eventually earning a living as a reactor technician aboard supply ships that traversed the region. It was on an extended leave during a summer festival on Caslemon VII that he met his future wife Taaraja. It was in the autumn of the following year than Nahine was born. The family was aglow with love, seemingly unswayed by the mixed fortunes of life in the cluster.
In YC 106, amidst the vitriol of the upcoming Gallente Presidential elections, Cen became increasingly disquieted by the anti-Intaki sentiments that came to pervade the political media, and felt a threat encroaching on his family from within the Federation. Seeking out a means to align his trade with his ideals, without having to move his family to the lawless space outside CONCORD’s aegis, Cen eventually committed to a 3-year contract as an electrician’s mate with Mordu’s Legion, sure that the pay and experience would satisfy his needs as a provider and as a man of ideals. He kissed his wife and child goodbye, and never returned.
Months later, with the news of Cen’s demise, Taaraja was devastated. Unable to bring herself to care for her child or look upon the outside world, she was committed to a psychiatric facility, leaving Nahine with her maternal grandparents, neither of whom would survive another year. She was soon left without a home, and local authorities introduced her into the Patrie District Child Welfare system, where she would spend the next four years desperately trying to reconcile her identity with the hand fate had dealt her, often becoming enmired in juvenile misbehavior. In reaching out to her peers within the system, some of the young toughs came to call her by the nickname 'Hibou', a boy's name meaning 'dove'.
Educational Background:
The PDCW-appointed case worker had suggested to Nahine that art therapy might help her in coming to terms with the difficulties she was facing, as well as provide an outlet which would occupy her enough to distract her from the often unsavory activities of her unfortunate peers. It turned out to be a tremendous influence on Nahine in her quest to ascribe meaning to her experience. She initially pursued the expressive and interpretive realms of the arts with great dedication, using various means to explore her feelings on loss, injustice, and an uncertain future. While productive in the sense that she was developing an early approach to creative vision, the work itself was as pedestrian as would be expected for one her age.
In YC110, she received an unsolicited grant for a full ride to the University of Caille. While the source of the funding remained a perplexing unknown, she accepted the bargain and enrolled as a fine arts student. It was during her initial examinations that her capsule candidacy was discovered. Initially, the admissions board told her that she would not be able to pursue the program even after her primary degree was completed, due to the kind of financial investment involved, but not 48 hours later, she was informed that her grant had been upgraded to include full enrollment in the capsuleer program as well.
The University pushed hard for her to accept the terms and pursue the capsuleer program, but Nahine was determined to continue exploring the realms of the arts, using her free education to expand her knowledge of her peoples’ history between the Caldari and Gallente empires, and in turn transforming the inherent tensions through her own personal lens. Her particular gift for finding and re-purposing the essence of the apparati of political and military domination did not go unnoticed by her instructors, who took care to cultivate her talents.
Her undergraduate exhibition “Ricochet: Hybrid Sculptures in Sound”, where she employed a T-12 Ion Pistol to shear various resistance-coated Gallente and Caldari hull fragments, recorded the weapon strikes through a industrial-grade micro-magnetometric sensor cluster, analyzing the material harmonic resonances through a filter designed to recognize human vocal patterns, gained some esteem when her work revealed a disturbing similarity between the frequencies of certain harmonics with those of human calls of distress and terror. The department was impressed enough with her work to create a 12 minute holoreel of the creative process and commemorate the exhibition.
Over the course of her undergraduate education, the spectre of merging with the pod still hung in her imagination. The promise of a life of new possibilities, of perceptions and sensations beyond the stultifying confines of the human purlieu, and of the freedom from her past, overcame her fears of losing herself.
Yet, her commitment to leave behind her birth body would remain her single greatest regret.
Capsuleer Background:
Nahine is a raw graduate, clone grade alpha. She abhors the loss of life that seems to exude naturally from capsuleers by their mere existence. She believes that she has accepted a curse, a devil’s bargain, by merging with the capsule, and she must salvage what remains of her true being in pursuit of the teachings of the Idama and the alleviation of suffering. As she has just recently been introduced to the Sisters of Eve via the UC career agents, she is inclined to support their humanitarian efforts, even their beliefs are not her own.
