I've done a lot of work on Nydia, I spent a week "designing" her before I actually made the account.

Darkness always had its part to play. Without it, how would we know when we walked in the light? It's only when its ambitions become too grandiose that it must be opposed, disciplined, sometime - if necessary - brought down for a time. Then it will rise again, as it must.

Full Name:
- Nydia Onit Santiago.

Nydia is pronounced NIH-dee-ah. Nydia was a blind flower-seller who saved her beloved at the cost of her own life. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "nest".
Nydia was given the name because her parents liked the sound. They didn't know the meaning of it at all.

Onit is pronounced ON-eet. It is of Hebrew origin and means "graceful"
Nydia was given the middle name Onit because it was her maternal grandmother's middle name.

Date of Birth:
- 13th May

Current Age:
- 11

Basic Appearance:
- Nydia's hair is naturally dark brown and it falls in loose ringlets just past her shoulders. Her eyes are a blue-gray colour, and the most prominant feature of her face. Nydia's eyes are usually closed or she looks at the ground when she does anything, so not many people have seen her eyes properly.

The reason for this is because she has an eye diesese that creates a while film over her vision, unenabling her to see things properly. Nydia can see, just not very well. Her vision is blurry at the best of times. Nydia might have been able to prevent the diesese if she had found out about it earlier, and gone to a specialist. Nydia's parents only found out about her diesese when she was seven, they had previously thought that she was trying to get attention from them.

Nydia is quite short, standing at around 4"4, but she is expected to grow a lot more. Her skin is olive and she has faint freckles on her face and shoulders. Nydia's clothing syle is more formal than most eleven year olds, and she is more comfortable wearing a dress than shorts and a tee. She is never seen without lipgloss on, and she usually wears mascara to parties.

Personality:
- Nydia doesn't know who she is supposed to be, and has issues with her personality. She is quiet and shy around people but she is inwardly kicking herself to be more outgoing. Nydia hates being shy, and is very awkward when talking to new people.

Family:

Sister
Nydia's twin sister, Cleo Santiago. Nydia and Cleo don't get on too well, as Cleo is jealous of all the attention Nydia gets from the family because of her eye diesese.

Cousin
Angelina "Lina" Lefèvre. Attends Beauxbatons Academy and is currently in her second year. Lina is Nydia's best friend in the world, and Nydia misses her heaps. They keep in contact through letters. Lina currently lives in France with her sister.

Cousin
Emalee "Emmy" Lefèvre. Nydia's very optimistic cousin. Same age as Nydia and about to attend Beauxbatons. Nydia and Emmy are friends, but Nydia has more of a bond with Lina than Emmy.

Mother
Kaylee Santiago, ex-Beauxbatons student. Works as a (muggle) school teacher. She is a half-blood witch, and a muggle-lover.

Father
Logan, ex-Ravenclaw at Hogwarts. Works as an Unspeakable. Muggleborn wizard

Pets:
- No pets, but Nydia wants a rat. She would name the rat Shaylah.

Area of Residence:
- Queensland, Australia. Nydia stays with her cousins in France as often as she can.

Blood Status:
- Mixed

Heritage:
- Logan Santiago lived in Spain until he was six, moved to Italy when he was nine. He lived in Italy for a year, then moved to England. He recieved the Hogwarts letter, and was sorted into Ravenclaw.

Kaylee Lefèvre (now Santiago) was a French witch who grew up in Paris, France. She attended Beauxbatons until she was eighteen, then graduated.

Kaylee and Logan met in their fifth year during the holidays in France. They became friends, and kept in contact through letters. They spent every holiday together, and Kaylee fell in love with Logan on the first day of holidays when they finally got to see each other. The day Logan graduated, he realized he was in love with Kaylee. He broke up with his girlfriend, Toni Hammond and flew to France. Toni was pregnant with Logan's child at the time, but he knew nothing about it.

Logan proposed to Kaylee, and she said yes. They both lived in France for a while. A few months years later, they had twin daughters, Cleo and Nydia. When their daughters were nine, they moved to Australia.

Toni Hammond began to go out with her best friend David Swann, and told him she was pregnant with his baby. The baby was really Logan's, but Toni didn't tell David that. The baby was born, and Toni got married to David. The baby was a girl, and Toni named her Lexi. A year later, Toni and David had another daughter and named her Lucy.

All questions are welcome!
 
Hello,
this is quite an interesting character.

I only have a few questions:
- Does Nydia's eyes disease is an obstacle for studying? or does wearing glasses helps?
- Is Cleo attending HNZ too?
- Does Nydia knows about her half-sister?
- Nydia lived in France for 9 years, does she still speaks French ((I'm asking because I'm French and so is my character))
 
Does Nydia's eyes disease is an obstacle for studying? or does wearing glasses helps?
Yes, her parent didn't want to send her to Hogwarts because they were worried she wouldn't be able to study. Wearing glasses helps, but barely. She would have needed glasses without the disease anyway, but she is too vain to wear them..

Is Cleo attending HNZ too?
Cleo will be attending Hogwarts in Y9 with Nydia.

Does Nydia knows about her half-sister?
No idea at all. She will be meeting her sister when she goes to Hogwarts. Her sister's name is Lexi Swann, but Nydia will know her as Alexa Silver. I'm going to have Nydia find out she has a half-sister called Lexi in her first year, but she might not find out that Lexi is Alexis.

Nydia lived in France for 9 years, does she still speaks French?
Nydia grew up in France, but she spoke English at home. She does know some French, but she is starting to forget how to speak French because she rarely uses it.
