-**Niði Hákonardóttir af Hraustlig**, Margravine of Werra (known mononymously as **Niði**, anglicized **Nithi**) is a Nordennavian noble heiress and decorated flying officer. Born as the eldest child of Hákon, reigning Duke of Weser and patriarch of the noble House of Hraustlig & Stórláta, Nithi was set from an early age to inherit a lifestyle of both privilege and responsibility. Defying familial and societal expectations, she joined the Nordennavian Royal Air Force (NRAF) in 1985 via her enrollment as a cadet in the Royal Air Academy.

Defying familial and societal expectations, she joined the Nordennavian Royal Air Force (NRAF) in 1985 via her enrollment as a cadet in the Royal Air Academy.
 She is most notable for her participation in both the 1994-1995 [[sse1:plot|Feðgar War]] and the 1997 [[sse2:plot:second_sapinish_civil_war|Sapinish Civil War]], the latter of which saw her join the Nonaligned Advisory Task Force (NATF)'s deployment to Sapin.
 ==== Early life and family ====
-Niði Hákonardóttir af Hraustlig was born March 6, 1967, in Stórfjörður, a port city in the northern reaches of Nordennavic's Stor province. As the daughter and first child of Hákon Björnson af Hraustlig, Duke of Weser, she inherited the title Margravine of Werra, signifying her position as heir apparent to the Valdean Dukedom of Weser. Growing up in the city of Idisiaviso, she was heavily inspired by stories of chivalrous knights and powerful warrior-women (primarily shieldmaidens and valkyries).
+Niði Hákonardóttir af Hraustlig was born March 6, 1967, in Stórfjörður, a port city in the northern reaches of Nordennavic's Stor province. Her unusual given name is an archaic Old Nordennavian name that means "waned-moon." As the daughter and first child of Hákon Björnson af Hraustlig, Duke of Weser, she inherited the title Margravine of Werra, signifying her position as heir apparent to the Valdean Dukedom of Weser.  Growing up in the city of Idisiaviso, she was heavily inspired by stories of chivalrous knights and powerful warrior-women (primarily shieldmaidens and valkyries).
 In her youth, Nithi swore an oath that would continue to guide her decades later:

 After graduating the academy and earning her commission as a //Fenrik// in 1988, she spent another year in training before being qualified for flight and being assigned to the 1st Air Wing's No. 468 Squadron (the so-called "Valkyries") in the Capital Islands Air Defense Region. During the subsequent six years, she was promoted to the rank of //Kaptein//, eventually becoming the unit's second-in-command under its flight leader, Major Helge Einarsson.

-During the initial stages of Exercise White Flag, Nithi displayed merely modest (if slightly above-average) abilities. Participating in the Christmas airshow of December 25, 1994 allowed her to witness the start of Crown Prince Harald's coup against his father. Communications to Heorike Air Force Base, where the exercise was being held, was cut shortly after, resulting in a comms blackout. On December 30, she was scrambled to engage inbound Osean and Erusean aircraft, scoring three victories against Erusean Tu-95 Bears. Her next sortie took place in the early morning hours of January 2, where she led a flight that conducted a destruction of enemy air defenses (DEAD) mission against Erusean AA emplacements on the Valdean coast, clearing a path for the evacuation via airlift of Verusan troops that had become trapped on the mainland. On the evening of January 9, she earned the appellation of "ace" via scoring three additional aerial victories against members of the Erusean Air Force's Oriflamme Squadron.

-By January 10, upon the request of Major Einarsson, Nithi began to use the P-26 Roller, a prototype chimeric airframe created by the Nordennavian Polar Star Flight Test Center. Upon expressing her distaste for the P-26's official designation, she chose to name hers //Róta//, after a valkyrie whose name roughly translates to "sleet-storm," or "stormbringer." She used the airframe to score a further three victories against Erusean MiG-31 Foxhounds in the early morning hours of January 13, leading a quick response force (QRF) to rescue an allied squadron that had come under threat while striking enemy ground forces. On the morning of January 15, she engaged the [[lore:belkan_mothership|Belkan mothership]] //Frea// over the open ocean, scoring five victories against the mothership's microfighters before striking the final blow against the aerial carrier, bringing her tally up to fifteen victories. On January 16, she undertook a reconnaissance flight to search for the downed Captain [[sse1:characters:ameline-halley|Ameline Halley]]. During this sortie, she indirectly made contact with her father, who was serving as a partisan on the ground.

 On January 19, Róta suffered a catastrophic APU fire while idling on the tarmac, resulting in a total airframe loss. The accident resulted in Nithi adopting her old JAS 39C Gripen, which she promptly named //Róta II//. The airframe was soon repainted in the colors of House Hraustlig by January 22, lending it a distinctive and recognizable livery. Despite this, she would see no further action until the morning of January 26, where she assisted in the interception of a flight of Osean strategic airlifters. After claiming the fictitious identity of OADF First Lieutenant **Ayla Levana** under the cover of darkness and heavy radar interference to fool the transports' relief fighters, she was credited with the bloodless capture of six C-5 Galaxies.
-In the evening of January 30, Nithi led a flight during the liberation of her home city of Idisiaviso, scoring a single aerial victory while testing out a new data link system. Upon the Erusean occupation forces' surrender, she sang the anti-war song "A Brand New Day" on open channels, a moment that was recorded by the presiding AWACS operator, Oberst Julia Egede. Less than an hour after landing back at Heorike, she undertook another sortie, this time leading a flight to cover the landing of Sotoan and Verusan marines on the shores of Mellom. The resulting engagement, which lasted well into the morning of January 31, saw her claim five aerial victories, including a member of the Osean Maritime Defense Force's VFA-200 "Merlin."

-On February 2, in an incredible display of airmanship, Nithi led a flight down the tunnel of Nordennavic Highway 41, using the underground highways to bypass an Osean surface-to-air missile defense system over Mellom. During the ensuing engagement with the OFS //Kestrel//'s carrier strike group, she scored two aerial victories—one against an OMDF F-14 Tomcat, the other against a RIM-66 Standard Missile SM-2 ship-to-air missile that was locked onto her squadronmate, Circe "Crow" Galas. The battle, which ended in the surrender of the Osean contingent commander, Weeker, to Vice Admiral Haakon Hårfagre—a distant uncle of hers—marked the end of Nithi's combat sorties during the Feðgar War.

 After several short-lived relationships in her late teens and early twenties, Nithi came to the conclusion that she was asexual. She would revise that assessment in later years, however, and currently identifies as demiromantic and demisexual.
-During Exercise White Flag, she met Verusan Air Force pilot Michael Wong Ying, who she quickly befriended. After a blossoming relationship forced the two to confront their growing feelings for one another, they began dating in January of 1995. The relationship drew some criticism from Nordennavian conservatives, who disparaged the notion of the Hraustlig heiress marrying a foreign commoner.

 Nithi has expressed fondness for classical music, citing the works of Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) as among her favorites. She also enjoys fencing, having trained in the sport since early childhood. Among her other hobbies are dancing, singing, and amateur stargazing.
