Scout Nixie

Title: The Shadow-Stalker
Role: Nixie is a half-elf scout who can move through shadows as if she were swimming through water. She is the Vanguard’s primary intelligence gatherer, responsible for scouting enemy positions and identifying "high-value targets." She is a woman of few words and even fewer friends.

Secret Motivation: Nixie is a "Void-Mutant." Her ability to move through shadows is a result of her exposure to a Void-Shard as a child. She is slowly losing her "physicality" and is worried that she will eventually become a permanent shadow. She is looking for a "Void-Anchor" in the Mana Wastes to help her stabilize her form.

Adventure Hook: Nixie "disappears" during a mission, and Lyra hires the party to find her. They eventually track her to a "Shadow-Rift" where she is being held by a group of void-horrors.
