Backstory:
The house of Lilian is among the greatest of the noble families and Nydia is the sole heir to it's main branch. Growing up she wanted for nothing and received only the finest training and education. She could have excelled in any field she desired but the art of dueling was the one that fascinated her the most. At first it was to cover the weakness of her family as with no exceptional duelists, the Lilians lacked the ability to directly defend themselves against those who would slight their honor. But after she took up her rapier, she grew to love the thrill of battle and the elation of proving herself superior to her foe. After all, in a duel there could be no excuses. If you lost, it was because you were simply inferior to you opponent and Nydia never lost because she was always superior.
Her love of dueling was so great that she not only challenged even the slightest of dishonors against her house, but also required any man who sought her hand in marriage to defeat her in a duel first. Naturally many tried but all failed until Lucas of house Darien stood before her. Theirs was a hard fought battle but in the end Lucas prevailed and Nydia suffered her first official defeat. As a noble, she had no choice but to honor her word and be wed to Lucas. She was able to bear her defeat and deflowering on her wedding night, but when she learned that Lucas had no intentions of allowing her to participate in any more duels and would have her be a mere trophy wife she knew she could not live like this.
Nydia fled and left her honor behind, joining the Beast Hunters Guild as she knew they would ask no questions of her and she could easily hide her identity from them. Her arrogant and overbearing personality has earned her no love among her fellow hunters and her lack of experience even less, yet none could deny that her skills with a blade make her a promising addition.
