Description: An imposing woman with a heavy stainless steel prosthetic left hand, she is bundled in multiple layers and is prepared for a desert trek wearing a turban that covers her face most of the time. Her hair is silver and very short. Her red eyes dart from person to person to random spaces in the air.

Personality: She is erratic and paranoid. She believes goblins are coming to abduct people. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Nija is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She was raised in a desert tribe. She made a point of taking high paying jobs and getting most of it up front.
