a fey child born of the skyward folk druids , nimue was raised by her mother , lenore ; a priestess who had conceived her daughter during a love affair with merlin . throughout her childhood , dark shadows followed in nimue's small footsteps ; demons attempting to lure her into the woods . one succeeded , drawing young nimue to a cave during the night . taking the form of a great bear , it attacked nimue ; flaying her back & leaving angry scars for a lifetime to come . though recovery spanned a long few weeks , shortly after the attack , nimue's father left ā no longer wanting to care for another man's child .
as nimue grew , her mother ordained her as an apprentice ; educating her on the arcane & its place in nature , as well as how to commune with the hidden . when nimue was seventeen , the skyward folk went under siege by pendragon's army of red paladins . dozens were senselessly slain , including nimue's mother ā who , as her dying act , passed to nimue the sword of power ; instructing her to give it to merlin .
inĀ theĀ wakeĀ ofĀ herĀ mother'sĀ death ,Ā nimueĀ foundĀ herselfĀ burdenedĀ withĀ theĀ weightĀ ofĀ destinyĀ & theĀ swordĀ ofĀ power , Ā aĀ legendaryĀ artifactĀ saidĀ toĀ holdĀ immenseĀ magicalĀ capabilities .Ā thisĀ blade ,Ā reveredĀ andĀ feared ,Ā markedĀ nimueĀ asĀ aĀ targetĀ forĀ thoseĀ whoĀ lustedĀ afterĀ itsĀ power .Ā herĀ heartĀ heavyĀ withĀ grief Ā & Ā resolve ,Ā sheĀ embarkedĀ onĀ aĀ journeyĀ toĀ findĀ merlin ,Ā guidedĀ byĀ theĀ whispersĀ ofĀ theĀ forestĀ spiritsĀ &Ā theĀ memoriesĀ ofĀ herĀ motherāsĀ teachings .Ā alongĀ theĀ way ,Ā nimueĀ honedĀ herĀ druidicĀ abilities ,Ā becomingĀ adeptĀ atĀ manipulatingĀ theĀ elementsĀ andĀ communingĀ withĀ theĀ ancientĀ spiritsĀ ofĀ theĀ earth .Ā herĀ powersĀ grew ,Ā butĀ soĀ didĀ theĀ darknessĀ thatĀ soughtĀ toĀ consumeĀ her .
upon giving the sword to merlin & aiding the fey in their escape from the red paladins' purge , nimue is fatally struck by an arrow , falling into the river . as she was swept downstream towards the lake , nimue was approached by the hidden during her last moments ; they thank her , & offer her a blessing for her valiance in protecting the fey . spared from death by the entities , nimue awakens on the bank of the lake ; a figure of light mist standing over her . it spoke with the voice of the hidden , telling nimue that she was chosen to be the guardian of the fey ; & that she would live for as long as she chose to remain their protector . fervently , nimue agreed .
