Nyx Nightingale

Nyx Nightingale is a member of the Department of Mary Sues. During the Reorganisation, she was briefly transferred to the Department of Internal Security and was instrumental in bringing it down, but then fled the PPC and operated independently until the Crashing Down crisis. She is written by Huinesoron.

Recruitment
Нікс Соловейко ('Nix Soloveiko') was born in 1974 in a village named Drabiv in Donetsk, Ukraine. (This means that her Drabiv cannot be the town of that name, but another unrecorded village.) She grew up with her cousin Tia and her Granny Else, and eventually worked in Granny Else's fabric shop.

In 1989, a pair of Assassins brought a Suvian named Princess Aubergine of Alinsenee to Drabiv to dispose of. Possibly due to their third partner being ill, they arrived in the wrong timeframe; it is unknown when they were aiming for; Donetsk has been devastated by war on several occasions, any of which might have been seen as a suitable disposal site.

During the ensuing confrontation, Нікс helped the Assassins to capture the Suvian, and in appreciation, they recruited her to the PPC. The translation spell she was given transliterated her forename, but translated her surname into English, leading her to be recorded as Nyx Nightingale.

Early Career
Little is known about the beginning of Nyx's career with the PPC, although she can be presumed to have played a role in the Lofty Skies insanity.

Reorganisation
Prior to the Reorganisation in 1999 HST, Nyx was partnered with Agent Jared Calinson. By request of the Sunflower Official, she visited DIS Central, but was press-ganged into the Department of Internal Security. Here she befriended Dassie Hyrax, and was eventually instrumental in the overthrow of the Mysterious Somebody and the DIS. Fearing persecution by other agents, she and Dassie fled Headquarters.

Exile
Nyx's movements during her seven-year exile from the PPC are not known in great detail. During the first part she was busy caring for the critically injured Dassie. Later, the two were occupied with fleeing from the Black Cats; they did, however, find time for almost a year's respite in the Star Wars universe before they were tracked down by Mkellin. During this time, they apparently had a daughter named Tia. When they were forced to flee the continuum, Tia was left with Treak, a retired Spy and friend of Dassie's.

Crashing Down
During the Crashing Down crisis, Nyx and Dassie were encountered by Kayleigh Leonard, whose partner, Salamander, they were caring for. The pair returned to HQ to fight the DIS, and chose to return to the PPC afterwards. She has since appeared in the Halloween Co-Write.
