APPLICATION
.:THE CHARACTER:.
NAME: Nill
CANON: DOGS
PERSONALITY: Nill, in canon, is really not shown as having much of a personality. She's a mute girl who is saved from a child prostitution ring by a man named Heine, and all of the focus of Nill's character is centered around her devotion and love of him. She is shown as being someone who is scared easily, someone who doesn't trust others right away (unless she sees that Heine trusts/likes them). She is timid in nature, but she is a great deal stronger than anyone gives her credit for. She has been through a lot of sadness and terror in her life, and has seen the worst in humanity, but she doesn't let that get to her. Instead, she keeps going on in life the best as she can. She wants so badly to be useful, and it seems that her greatest goal is merely to be supportive and caring to Heine. She's very unsure of meeting new people at first, so unless someone rescues her from harm, she's going to be apprehensive at first. But once someone proves they can be trusted and that they are a friend, Nill will be entirely loyal and supportive of that person. She loves with her entire heart and doesn't let the fact she can't speak get in the way of expressing her devotion. Her every little gesture and every look in her eye speaks a thousand words, and she is glad that she's able to bring peace to others. She is seen as being a little childish in her motions and mannerisms at time, and most certainly in her clothing, but Nill is NOT a child. She is not necessarily simple minded, but she isn't a genius either, due to the fact she probably didn't go through schooling. She is very eager to learn new things, however, as is shown with her dedication and struggles to learn how to sew in order to repair the bullet holes in Heine and Badou's clothing. Due to the fact that she's been through a great deal of bad things in her life, Nill doesn't judge others. She thinks that some things are bad and that people should be punished for doing bad things, but she also knows that the world isn't a fair place and that punishment often doesn't happen to those that deserve it. But despite the violence that she has seen Heine commit, and knows that Heine and Badou take part in, she never judges them and only looks at them with admiration. Heine saved her life, therefore he must be good. Badou is Heine's friend, so therefore he must be good as well. She took an instant liking to Naoto (despite Heine NOT liking the woman) because Naoto saved her life, so I think that it's safe to presume that those that help her will find a companion and friend in Nill.
HISTORY: Not much is known about Nill, due to the fact she isn't entire sure of her heritage. She is a teenage girl with white angel-like wings (fused to her flesh through an unknown body altering surgical process), who was saved from child prostitution by Haine, and was brought into the care of a man named Bishop. Due to the process of being given wings, Nill's vocal chords have been taken away. She can't speak, even if she wanted to. The only sounds she makes are through breathing, and she tries to communicate as best as possible through facial expressions and gestures. She lives at the church with Bishop, and tends to chores around the church. She doesn't leave the church very often, unless it is to go out and get new dresses with Bishop. She is trying to learn how to sew, in order to be more useful and fix bullet holes that appear in Haine's clothes. She doesn't get to see Haine as often as she'd like, and views him as being her protector, her hero. She looks up to him, and wants to be able to repay him for saving her, somehow.
She can't remember her early years, or how she even knows how old she is, for that matter. She doesn't recall any parents, or how she came to get her wings. Her earliest memories are waking up and being in the care of the men who would sell her. Because of these events, she is afraid of sex, and things relating to it. She knows all too well the horrors of the world, and that someone as weak as she is can't escape them. Which is why she is glad that she has been living in the church. Because it is one of the last safe places left, even if sometimes, the less desireables come in and attempt to take her.
During her time at the church, she's met quite a few interesting individuals. Haine's friend Badou is someone that she is still apprehensive about, if only for his loud nature and the fact that she doesn't get to see him all that often. Someone new that Nill has met, and is quite fond of is a woman named Naoto. Nill and Naoto met when the woman entered the church, around the same time men came to retrieve Nill. Picked up and rescued by Naoto, Nill is very grateful to the woman and wants to repay her kindness. She is very curious about Naoto, because she hasn't really met other women before. She seems to look up to the woman, and is trying to learn from her, to pick up cues on how she is supposed to act. And it is shown that she cares for Naoto, in the way that she touches and is worried about the scar across Naoto's chest, and by how she attempts to sew and repair Naoto's clothes after a fight. Of course, no one can even come close to touching her devotion to Haine or Bishop, but Badou and Naoto are two people that Nill is curious to learn more about.
SAMPLE JOURNAL ENTRY: [VIDEO]
[A small girl clicks on the device and for a great deal of time all you can see are blue eyes peering right up against the camera lens. There is a jostle and the phone falls to the ground, and you can see it's owner spinning about looking for it. While she turns, you catch sight of a pair of white wings. There is a smile on her face as she finally spots the phone and crouches to pick it up, this time tapping at the camera a few times before holding it out far enough away that everyone can see her full face. She isn't entirely sure of the phone's purpose however, and she looks frustrated as she tips her head to the side and stares at the camera. After a great deal of messing around with the phone, the video shuts off and goes to text instead.]
