Applying for the position of Sales Associate for Nike:

"Please describe your passion for sports (100 words or less)."

A faint, discouraged laugh arises from my puny, scrawny body.

She still does this to some extent now but not as much as she used to. - As someone who loves a good celebration, she likes to drink and has been known to drink people twice her size under the table. - Is not particularly good at lying and knows this.  - Always wears a malachite pendant around her neck on a leather cord but keeps it hidden. The pendant itself is in the shape of an arrow head. It was given to her by her cousin, Heda Edra. When she has to make a hard decision she will rub her thumb over the pendant. -Has a very intense dislike of anyone and anything from Sangeda, but when it comes to meeting people from other clans, Nike has a childlike curiosity about her and is intrigued by the difference between them and her own people.  - Does not have a good grasp of Gonasleng because she only started learning it a couple of years ago and hasn’t had much of an opportunity to use it. - Plays the drums, flute, lyre and hardanger fiddle. - Does not like silence and will hum or whistle if it gets too much for her.

-ADDITIONAL INFO-

BIO: With a drummer for a mother and a warrior for a father, war has been a natural part of Nike’s life from an early age. She was raised on her father’s war stories, with her mother’s drumming forming the soundtrack and by the time she was 5, her parents had already started teaching her the basics of their craft, wanting her to have a foundation in both but ultimately leaving her future up to her. She enjoyed her lessons in both activities but it was clear to everyone who met her that she had an affinity for music and that what she loved most wasn’t the bloodlust or the adrenaline that came from fighting, but the ability to raise the morale and spirits of her people, no matter the situation. Family has always been important to Nike. Not just her blood relatives but the family she has chosen for herself. As an only child, Nike found herself bonding to others around her age instead and she also forged a close bond with her older cousin, Edra. The day she found out that Edra had been killed was one of the worst days of Nike’s life and one she can never get out of her mind, despite having full knowledge of Edra’s responsibilities as Heda and knowing it put her in the line of fire. Her usual ability to remain levelheaded was stripped away and she still doesn’t know how to cope with her grief because the feeling is so foreign to her. She’s always been the one who can see the good in any situation and focus on it, bouncing back from even the greatest losses, but for once she can’t. Following the death of her cousin, Nike traded in her drumsticks for a sword. She needed to make a change in her life and fighting seemed like the obvious choice. The lessons her father gave her when she was a child proved useful as does the extra training, but that didn’t mean that her training was easy, due to her being significantly older than most of the other trainee warriors and the fact that she’s prone to giving into her reckless side. There are some days where Nike’s not really sure why she’s doing this, but it makes her feel better and that’s all that matters. She’s come far and shown a lot of improvement in such a small space of time; she’s even considering requesting to be Heda Inia’s Seken, but there are other things on her mind that might prevent that from being possible. Things like Locke’s need for justice which resonates with her far more than it should.

Moss

moss: what do you hope to accomplish in this life?

Try not to die young.

Ocean

ocean: when was the last time you felt completely happy?

Last night, when some branwoda challenged me to a drinking contest and lost. I don’t really remember but most likely sometime before Edra died.

grass

grass: where do you act the most like yourself?

Where I am has no bearing on how I am. I’m unapologetically myself always. 

[nikekomtrikru]

lake

lake: are there any secrets you keep from close friends?

Some. Nothing that isn’t kept for a good reason though. Either they’re not my secrets to divulge or they’d cause more harm than good if they were made public.

magician

magician: list 3 of your talents

Only three? I suppose the main three I’m known for are knife throwing, singing and music in general, and keeping Locke on his toes bowmanship.

tower: what do you most want to change about yourself?

tower: what do you most want to change about yourself?

A higher level of patience maybe? Not always throwing myself into things headfirst. I wish I didn’t care as much. Everything would be so much easier if I just didn’t care.
