Background

Nyx is a daughter of Chaos and the mother of numerous conceptual gods. She had three children with her brother and consort, Erebus, and gave birth to eighteen others on her own 2 4.

Her children were killed by the gods of Mount Olympus, and her grief led to severe delusions. She became a patient in the Gods’ Psychiatric Hospital, where she initially mistook people and objects for her children 2.

Nyx has a cool, aloof elegance and flawless features. Her appearance blends into the darkness around her 2.

• Long black hair cascading down her back 2.
• A dark, star-dotted dress; in the real world, it appears as black gauze beneath the night sky 2 50.

Personality

Nyx is affectionate and maternal toward those she believes are her family. She eagerly welcomes Lin Qiye as her son, worries when he has been away, and takes delight in spending time with Zhou Meng and Li Yifei 6 12 23 39.

Though often serene, she can be forceful when startled or displeased. After Lin Qiye’s singing frightens her, she chases him with a feather duster to teach him a lesson 18.
