PERSONALITY
Flippant and ironic, Nimue speaks in a playful tone fitting for her haughty and sultry attitude. Though, this playfulness is unfortunately masked by her unusual manner of monotone speech that certainly compliments her sarcastic mannerisms. Her haughtiness, while quite annoying at times, is not completely unfounded. Everything she has achieved thus far has been from her own hands, through her efforts, through her own hard work. She gets carried away when she is working towards something she is extremely fixated on, but that is a rare occasion, as she is usually quite relaxed. Too relaxed one might say for someone in a position like hers.
Nimue is a quiet soul, never one to speak unless it is absolutely necessary to. She spends most of her time on the periphery of social situations, preferring to simply observe or be in close proximation to people rather than engage in whatever social pleasantries people were normally drawn to. If she does get into conversation with someone, she is still quite quiet, often preferring to listen to the individual and offer whatever response she feels is best and most appropriate. Unsurprisingly, people find it hard to converse with her. She can almost always be counted on to respond with succinct deadpan humor, or to offer (solicited) sage advice for anyone who asks for it. In fact, it is one thing that can be relied on by her, a consistency that is usually not taken too well.
However, this sardonic demeanour masks her caring self, seen by only those close to her, as many do not bother to look closer than what is initially presented to them. She always worried about Elaine while they grew up, doting on her two children and always being soft on them.

HISTORY
Nimue Thetys was born to a particularly prominent noble family in Labrynna, known for having a purer breed than most Zora. Although she had no siblings, she grew up with her sister Eleazan. They took part in everything together, from late night escapades to simple daily activities, they were completely inseparable.
And then Eleazan fell in love. During one of their family’s annual meetings with the Labrynnan royalty, Eleazan met Phorcys, a young prince who was next in line for the throne. They spent many an eve together, romancing each other and sharing in each other's stories, learning more about themselves and planning their futures together. The two sisters grew further and further apart, Nimue devoting herself to academic studies and Eleazan passing her time with Phorcys.
After some time, it was announced that the two would be married, a fact which had been established since the two girls’ births. The reasons were twofold: since the Thetys family was well-known for their purer breed, they had formed an agreement with the Labrynnan royalty that the next generation would unite the two families in matrimony, giving the already noble Thetys an even higher position and the Velyris a greater claim to the throne (as they would have a better breed than most Zora). It was a greatly celebrated proclamation, by all of the Zora in Labrynna and even those in Hyrule.
But, the wedding between these two never came to fruition. On the day of the wedding, when Nimue and her household went to help Eleazan get ready, she had disappeared with no trace left behind. Both Nimue and Phorcys immediately set out with a search team to search out the Zora Seas and beyond to find her, but all efforts were in vain. After weeks and weeks of scouring the depths, there was nothing to be found, not even a small trail to follow, and they dejectedly gave up.
But their families, rather than respecting their privacy and giving them time to cope with Eleazan’s loss, rushed together a new plan as the current king’s health was deteriorating and they needed a new king to take his place, along with the promise of a continued lineage. Instead, they forced together the next best arrangement, that is Phorcys and Nimue. The wedding seemed to be a joyous occasion on the outside, but a choking sadness hung in the air, as the memory of Eleazan’s disappearance permeated the ceremony.
As such, the two became husband and wife, quite unwillingly, but a couple nevertheless. Quite soon, the previous king succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving the throne empty, and Phorcys ascended as next in line, with Nimue as his queen. But the absence of Eleazan had changed the two of them for the worse, with every moment they spent together widening the rift as they were reminded of her. Phorcys’ once warm demeanor turned cold, as he ruled over the Zora’s lands with an iron fist, consistent in his ruthless uniformity with the law. Nimue took interest in nothing much anymore, resigning herself to the palace’s libraries and taking frequent visits to other parts of the seas to swim in silent reflection.
And then the light of her life appeared. After several unsuccessful attempts and against all odds, Nimue gave birth to an adorable set of twins, whom she named Eleazar and _____, after her sister. They became her joy, and she devoted her time entirely to him, raising him with love and care, while Phorcys merely littered his room with gift after gift, spoiling him with riches, not being actually present in his life. However, as he grew older, he would frequently burst into bouts of anger, followed by aggressive actions towards the household’s servants and staff. His father began to question whether he was fit to rule if his emotions were so unstable and prone to change, until after one severe instance of this he decided to execute a plan to get rid of what he saw as a potential disgrace to his family. He told both Eleazar and Nimue that he would send him away to a boarding school for his education, the two only realizing later that it was a ruse to get rid of him.
Nimue begged her husband to bring him back at once, but Phorcys had made his decision and would not turn back on it. This widened the rift between them even further, as Nimue spent more time away from the palace, but Phorcys wasn't finished. Eleazar, for all his faults, had been their one and only heir and as such they needed a replacement for him to be his successor, even more so as Phorcys seemed to be falling into ill health.
To humour him, Nimue agreed to his request and they adopted a Hylian boy into their household. While many Zora were quite sceptical to this move, over time they warmed up to his presence and welcomed him into the community as well as accepted his legitimacy and succession to the throne. Nimue raised him with a lifestyle of moderation, Phorcys having learnt his lesson and backed away from raising Gael. She loved him just like she was her own son, but it was a painful process as she had still not fully recovered from the loss of her firstborn son.
Eventually, Phorcys’ illness got the better of him and he passed away, leaving Gael without a father and Nimue a husband. As Gael was too young to succeed the throne at the time, Nimue took his place and ascended as their queen regent, reluctantly fulfilling her family’s promise of producing a ruler for the Labrynnan Zora. She found this to be a boring station, full of empty agreements and blatant lies, leaving all of the actual political work to the Zoran council whose honesty made them an able helper. It was during these times that she made many visits to other towns and cities, the most important of which being when she travelled to the Zora Domain in Hyrule and met with their royal family, as well as their daughter Cetus, to listen to their proposition of marriage between Cetus and Gael which she accepted.
