girls are born to step into the light!
The explosively charming oldest daughter of Lunya Lanya and G'raha Tia."little sprout, little bean sprout, little supernova, brave little spark" (by Lunya)
"Shortcake" (by G'raha)
✧─The Brave Little Spark
Lunya and G'raha's future daughter and a fire hazard. Plucky and adventurous, Nynya tends to follow trouble as much as it follows her. Every bit as curious and daring as her parents, she chases new adventures but never forgets to stop and help those who need it, albeit with a few explosions along the way. She considers herself an "alchemist" in the sense that she's accidentally made napalm before via slime tutorials. Though she tends to cause grief for the people around her with her mischievous and impulsive nature, Nynya is as sweet as a strawberry and just wants to do good and help others like Mama and Papa.
Of her siblings, Nynya is by far the most adventurous, having tagged alongside her aunts and uncles on their jobs ever since they were first willing to take her and dragging her friends onto adventures of their own.
Appearance
Image
3'3" at max height. While on the tall side for a Lalafell, she's far shorter than the average Miqo'te kitten, a fact she resents when her twin shoots up like a rod of bamboo in their teenage years. She's a ball of energy and never is never completely still even in her sleep—you should be worried if you suddenly can't hear her. Rambunctious to the point of being clumsy, with an ever-rotating set of scrapes and bruises across her arms and legs and even her forehead.
Features
Her hair is red and unruly, threatening to grow into fluffy waves like her mom's if she doesn't keep it close to her chin, which she has to while growing up because of her tendency to set things on fire. Through her whole life she ties two little pigtails behind each of her ears with the rest loose.
Wardrobe
Nynya is generally drawn to more frilly clothes but given that more times than not she's blowing things up or up to her knees in mud out in the woods, she usually wears more sturdier things like overalls. Lunya figured out very early on to not expect all her ribbons of her dresses to still be there when she got home, which Nynya feels guilty about but can't really help it.
Repertoire
HYPERSPARK─Black Mage, Rank SSS
While her twin has more of a reputation for being a talented mage, it's Nynya who posesses more raw firepower between them, and it shows in the devastated landscapes left in her wake. With all of her mother's latent magical abilities and none of her practiced restraint, Nynya is undoubtedly the most dangerous member of her generation.

Trivia
If she didn't inherit the Allagan royal eye, hers would have been blue-violet like Lunya's. Her favourite foods are strawberry sandos and Southern Seas spaghetti. Her nameday is the US release date of the Final Fantasy 3 remake. Animals don't like Nynya. It remains to be seen if this is because she was named after Nyneve Pond, the original Hated By Animals #1, or because she tends to destroy natural habitats just by sneezing in them. Even Lunya's own dogs don't seem that impressed by her, though they certainly tolerate her better than any animal outside their family's pack.

Pets
Melfi: Nynya's pet korporkkur, which initially tried to drown her on an adventure in Saint Mocianne's Arboretum with Thancred and Zaya before they rescued her from it and brought it home. She's very large.
Nebby: Nynya's pet... Allagan node... which she snatched from Azys Lla and promptly hid in Estinien's manacutter, which she herself was hiding in after stowing away to see where he and Tita Nini were going. It's most commonly seen hovering over her shoulder and trying to warn her that explosions are dangerous.
