[/i][/size][/right]The Basics
Name: Nakia Meian-Kenjutsushi
Nicknames: Nik
Age: 39
Orientation: Heterosexual
Desired Rank/Job: Doctor
Powers: Biological Manipulation/Tactile Physiological Empathy (feeling the biological processes of another person as their own through touch)
When her powers are used in a controlled manner, common side effects are tiredness, minor applications of wounds/sickness that she is healing, and temperature dropping in the area of contact. Her hands are always cold because of this.
If her powers lash out in an uncontrolled manner, her body will take the full brunt of the injury or sickness that she is healing, whether it is life-threatening or not, in addition to these other side-effects.

The Details
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Blue
Any Piercings? One piercing in each earlobe
Any Tattoos? None
Any Scars? None
General Appearance: Nik is, first and foremost, an albino. It's the first thing people tend to notice about her, as she has shoulder-length snow white hair and very fair skin. Her eyes are a deep, brilliant blue that colors very much like a star sapphire; pale around the pupils and growing quickly darker at the edges. She is around 5' 6", very thin despite having two children, and appears very delicate. Her heritage is a mixed Japanese and Russian, giving her a much more European touch to her features than her children or husband.
Dr. Nik's complexion is not helped by the fact that she tends to dress mostly in white and light blues, her favorite outfit being a sleeveless powder-blue turtleneck and white slacks. She wears little jewelry, mainly just her silver wedding ring and a pair of earrings her daughters gave her for Mother's Day four years back. Occasionally she will wear a special necklace Vincent gave her when they started dating, though it is very delicate and she is worried about breaking it. She also has a tenancy to wear broad-rimmed hats, though that is more to protect her skin from being burned than any fashion statement.
An immaculate woman, Nik despises being dirty and keeps many changes of clothes on hand wherever she spends much of her time, even to carrying a set in her briefcase. Her fingernails are short and well-kept, and her personal hygiene is nothing short of obsessive. The only time this is not the case is when she is gardening, and even then she cleans up promptly after finishing her work.
Personality: On the surface, Nik is a cool and logical person who cares little for the emotions behind the injuries she treats. She is authoritative, regal, and completely in control of her domain. She dislikes being disobeyed or questioned when in comes to her medical expertise, something that got her into a few minor messes when she was a resident doctor in Japan. In her work, she is uncompromising and direct, yet very understanding of her patient's psychology and religious views when prescribing treatment.
Under the surface is a woman filled with hurt that is slowly healing under the watch of her protective husband. She is generally very shy and hides behind professionalism and dry wit to talk to people. She trusts very few people, yet cares to the point of neglecting her own well-being for her patients. If something is wrong with them, she'll do everything in her power to fix it, whether it be emotional or physical.
Nik has a deep love for her family that she can never be rid of. She values them above everything else, including her work, and would stop her career on a dime for them. That said, she loves being a doctor and helping people continue their lives, and aside from that one condition would not give it up for the world.
Your Vices
Likes: Chess, reading classic novels, classical and folk music, Japanese movies, spending time with children, popping egos, gardening
Dislikes: Vanity, argumentative people, people who learn all their medical "facts" from television shows, misogyny, lewdness, natto, soda pop, video games
Strengths: Diagnosis, properly interpreting emotions, children's care, herbology, remembering obscure medical facts, playing cards
Weaknesses: Keeping her emotions separate from her profession, writing legibly, backing down from a conflict, cooking (she's really not very good)
Fears: Her father, losing her children, accidentally killing someone, her family being hunted for their powers, never seeing her husband again after he uses his powers
Secret: For nearly eight years, Nik thought of many ways to kill her father to stop the abuse he heaped on her and her brother after her mother abandoned them. Twice she nearly enacted one of her plans.
After Appoline was born, Nik experienced severe postpartum depression. She never harmed her baby or herself, but she never received treatment either. The episodes repeated after Cassiopeia, but as they were not as severe she still didn't mention them to her husband.
Nakia is an otaku at heart and has a secret stash of anime that she watches whenever her job gets to her. She hopes to cosplay at a local convention where her career won't be affected because of it. She also reads trashy romance novels because she finds them hilarious.
Family Ties

History
Nakia was born to a relatively middle-class family in Japan. Her mother was a Russian immigrant who taught at the local high school, and her father was a police officer of detective rank at the police station across town. She was born albino, something that is not considered attractive or wanted in Asia, so her parents tended to treat her distantly though not unwell. A year later, her brother Hatsuharu was born, giving them someone else to lavish attention on instead of her.
When Nik was about six, her parents started fighting; her father was working too many hours, teacher's salaries were cut for normal schools in favor of the "freak school" (as her mother called it) in the Tokyo prefecture. Tensions strained, and the children were caught in the middle. After two years, the children came home from school one day to find her mother gone. No note, no sign. When their father came home, he was furious, throwing furniture and dishes in a fit of rage. The children hid as they always had when their parents fought and rode out the storm.
Six weeks later, when their mother still hadn't returned, the beatings began. Their father would come home hours after his shifts had ended, stinking drunk and mad as Hell. At first, he hit them both, not caring which of them got in his way. Nik soon learned and hid her brother from sight when she heard her father coming up the stairs to their apartment so that she would take the beatings alone. She was nine years old.
The beatings continued until Nik was sixteen. By this time, her brother had grown up considerably and had stayed after school often to participate in sports, making him the stronger and more athletic of the two. He came home one day to find their father beating his sister again and hit him hard with a baseball bat to the head. As soon as he struck, however, Nik cried out in pain with a splitting headache as a wound suddenly opened up in the same place her father had been struck. Bleeding badly, Nik struggled away from the man and realized that (while unconscious) he no longer bore any marks of being struck. The two fled from the house and never returned.
The first place they ran was the hospital for treatment. Nik explained the situation to the trauma nurse and signed herself in. When the doctor arrived, he examined her wounds and began treating them. When he touched her, however, she felt a tightness in her lungs and began to cough, feeling phlegm clogging her airways. The doctor immediately reexamined her and found that she had a mild case of emphysema - something the doctor himself had been diagnosed with many years ago. Upon putting her in a secure room and finishing treatment of her wounds, he rechecked his own file and ordered X-rays. When they arrived, he was shocked to discover his lungs were clearer than the day he had started smoking over twenty years ago.
Suffice to say, he called Eisai Gakkō immediately.
The recruiter arrived the next day and gave Nik the opportunity she'd been waiting for - a school to help her control these frightening new powers and give her a direction so that they may help people without hurting her. They could teach her brother too, despite his lack of apparent ability, keeping the two of them together. And best of all, they could keep her father away from them. The choice was simple, and the siblings moved into the dorms the next day.
It took Nik two years to master her powers, though in the process she needed to create a mindset that kept her from being caught unawares again, turning her into a coldly clinical person whenever treating people without her powers. Eisai helped her into a medical college, where she studied to be a general medical practitioner.
Just after her first year in college, she met Vincent Meian and the two built up a rapport, eventually dating at the end of that year. On her twentieth birthday, Vincent presented her with a finely crafted necklace he had commissioned for her and asked her to marry him. She accepted, and the two were inseparable outside of work. They married eight months later on September 1st.
In April of the following year, a riot caused Vincent to vanish for six months. Not understanding what had happened to her husband, Nik continued going to school and working so that when they found him, he could come home and not worry. She had just finished her basic medical schooling and become a resident at a local hospital when he was found. However, Eisai and their government sponsors argued that he needed to be retained before he could be returned to society. Nik accepted and signed the paperwork, losing a whole year of her married life and concentrating solely on work and earning her doctorate.
Once Vincent had returned to her, Nik had to bounce back and forth between working towards her goal of being a doctor and rehabilitating her husband. It partially this stress that caused her depression after her daughter was born, so she left the raising of her child mostly to Vincent as she focused on her career and not doing anything foolish. After her second daughter came into the world four years later, Nik had successfully earned her PhD., and worked less in order to care for her children, as her spouse had fully recovered and was now returning to school.
When the Appoline started manifesting powers of her own, Nik jumped on the chance to start fresh in the United States. She and Vincent took the appropriate measures to ensure they could transfer without issue, and allowed their girls to enroll in Eisai until the transfer.
Now, Nik is the school's on-call medical doctor. While it is a pay and hours decrease, she plans on using this time to study for another degree and take care of her daughters (as she feels that she has neglected them for too long).
