Everything I do is for Azgeda
SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD
Nia watched Ontari's movements as she entered, obediently bowing before her prior to answering her question. But her second sentence, caused Nia to grip the handles of her throne a little tighter. Her face briefly twitched into a slight scowl before fully revealing of her disapproval. She abruptly rose to her feet, inching closer to the descending stairs where her elevated platform was that held her throne. "Are you asking me or telling me?" She snapped at her, the disapproval as evident in her tone as it was in her expression toward the future Heda.
"Speak with confidence. With certainty." Ontari surely knew what the judgment would be. In instances like this, Nia did not want her to question the inevitable violent punishment. In most other matters, it was best that Ontari ask for Nia's approval. Because when Ontari was Heda, Nia had every intention to continue to control her. She had been conditioned as such, and would continue to be. "What is his judgment?" She repeated, this time more strongly before. If Ontari answered incorrectly, then Nia intended on punishing her.

Everything I do is for Azgeda
SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD
Nia was out with her guards, having had some business to attend to. It had brought her at a distance from her home, though she was without complain. She was queen. Business would draw her out where her presence was required. Apart from that, she left it up to her guards.
Those whom she emphatically trusted, such as her War Chief. A small sound jerked her head to the side, at the house that they had just been passing. The home looked to be abandoned for quite some time. And Nia was paranoid enough to check who would be claiming it now. She waved her head motioning for two of her guards to go inside and see what they could find while Nia waited patiently outside.
And waited, and waited. Until eventually, a young woman was dragged out, a guard holding either of her arms as they threw her to her feet in front of the Queen. Nia cocked her head to the side, looking at her intently with a cold stare. "You are either a thief, or a spy, but what is certain is that you are incredibly stupid to believe you can sneak around this land." Nia was hardly concerned with insults. Especially against those who seemed to be caught somewhere that they shouldn't be.

Everything I do is for Azgeda
SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD
Nia watched powerlessly as the future of Azgeda was put entirely into question. Her son had failed. Killed, like a coward. Nia watched the weapon piece him as Lexa came out victorious in the battle. Her hand clenched in a fist, a slight tremble to them from the failure. She had spent nearly 3 decades raising him. Grooming him to be a fit leader; a future king. And now, he was dead. Felt was not only the pain of losing a son, but the loss that Azgeda now suffered with having no heir. Ontari was her only hope. She had revealed her identity to Lexa by bleeding her over Wanheda's face.
But with the coup that Nia had successfully caused -- now apparently settled by this battle, Nia was unsure of her fate. She may be killed. Or she would continue to be the queen of Azgeda, forced to serve under Lexa for as long as the Heda was alive. Nia had so hoped that tonight would mark her death. But her son was unsuccessful. Nia felt ashamed for his failure. The guards 'escorted' her to the throne room, where she was to wait for Heda's judgment. This had not gone according to plan. But Nia could only hope that somehow, it would still fall into place. That somehow, Ontari could continue on.
That she would fight in the conclave and win. The only matter left at had, was killing Lexa. And trying to determine who would carry on her legacy. When the doors opened for Lexa to enter, Nia's gaze fixated on the woman, with pure disdain. Nia had once killed someone Lexa loved, and the Commander now did the same. But that hardly left them even. Nia wuold not let these go unanswered. Nia tilted her chin a little up, her expression lacking the pain of losing a son.
There was anger. The only thing Nia could be relieved for was that her little pet Wanheda was not in the room too. "Well, what is it then," she spoke, knowing that showing disrespect to Heda was never wise . . . but she had far too much pride to ever submit. "What is your judgment?" She questioned in regards to her own fate. "Bear in mind, that my death will not regain the support of the clans. We are all in agreement that you are unfit to rule." Nia had lost something precious to her today at the hands of Lexa. She was not going to hold back. Not anymore.

Nia was not happy. To say the least. She had worked hard to establish Azgeda as the largest clan. One of the most powerful ones. And now, this new Heda threatened it all by making her submit. Nia had no interest in a coalition. She had no interest in peace with Trikru. She wanted to crush them and claim their power and lands. To spread Azgeda's territories beyond their current boundaries.
But Lexa, prevented her from doing that. What more could Nia expect from a Trikru warrior. But Nia knew that she had not played her hand yet. She still had Ontari. A secret that she would keep, and nurture, breed and strengthen to eventually put an Azgeda Heda on the throne. In doing so, Azgeda would be most powerful and have ultimate control on all the clans. But that time would have to come later.
Right now, Azgeda had taken a hit. Nia had captured Lexa's lover and sent her head back, to be slipped into her bed while sleeping. A message. One that the Commander didn't take well to. The other clan leaders were not ready to go against their new Heda and so the threat of being excluded from the coalition, threatened all of Ice Nation.
Nia could not have it so. In exchange, she was to banish her son. An heir was the only thing her otherwise useless husband had been good for. And now, that would be taken from her. Her legacy was compromised. She would not give up however. Ontari was the key to all this. In the present moment though . . . she was quite livid.
Entering through the doors of the throne room, flanked by her own guards, along with the Commander's to protect Lexa, Nia walked to the middle of the room, her piercing gaze fixated on the young girl. She refused to bow. She had far too much pride for that.
"I have come with an answer to the terms you set forth." Banish Roan, and Azgeda would join the coalition. Nia wanted neither but right now, being in the coalition was the only way to save Azgeda. She could not risk the nation getting wiped out by the other clans under their Heda's command.

SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD
Arkadia was the name of their home. A strange name, but from what Nia had come to learn . . . they came from a place called the Ark. She was uncaring of such details however. What mattered, was a truce. She could wipe these people out if she so wished. But there was perhaps more value in what they had to offer, rather than eliminating him. And that was why she was here.
A truce was developing between them. It had started with their leader, Kane, visiting her and now was extended to her coming to their place of dwelling. It was a contraption. Nia traveled with enough warriors to keep herself well protected. As they entered through the gates, they dismounted, a few Sky people came to take the horses.
Nia eyed them with a bit of suspicion, before allowing them the reigns. She was given a brief tour anbd was told of someone they called an engineer. A brilliant mind apparently. Nia was to learn more of their technologies, more of what they could do. She was led to a room where this engineer was, and Nia's gaze fell over him. Slowly. Eying him.
Two warriors on either side of her as their tour guide excuses themselves so that she could speak with the name he had introduced as Kyle Wick. Nia was not impressed. He didn't look like a warrior her. Not like her well trained Azgeda ones. "Well go on," she ordered. "Impress me Skaihef." Skyman. Clearly, she was putting him on the spot, pressuring him, attempting to intimidate him.

The deal was proposterous. But alas, what other choice was there. The other clan leaders would not support Nia. Not yet. In fact, they seemed all too relieved to have a Heda who wished to unite them. But Nia . . . was furious. The war with Trikru would be brought to an end, which meant she could not further her lands. Her power. War was necessary. But according to Lexa, peace was more important.
Pathetic. Nia would ensure it did not last. But for the time being, she had to accept the deal. They had to be part of the coalition. For Azgeda. Otherwise, she could lose everyone. She had to be smart, and she knew when it was time to strike. Right now, she had not even shown all her plays. Ontari was a big done. The timing on her reveal had to be just perfect.
At the moment, she was making her way to the council room where she had summoned her son to await her. She consulted with no one in taking this deal. Not even the prince. It would not be forever, but right now, it was necessary. When the doors opened she stepped inside, closing them behind her.
"Leave us," she ordered to the guards, as they exited the room to leave the mother with her son. "The Commander has acted in weakness, allowing personal feelings to interfere with her rule." Nia had killed many people but apparently, just because she'd killed her lover . . . she was angry. Emotion, love, it was all weakness. One that Nia would not subjugate herself to.

Everything I do is for Azgeda
SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD
Today was an important day. Ontari's training was going excellently. She had the best warriors ensuring she was training harder than any of the others. In addition to that however, they had to conceal the truth about her. Nia had not played all her hands yet and she much preferred to keep it that way. In her attempt to protect the identity of her secret Nightblood,
Nia was often quite diligent when it came to kill those ho discovered the truth. Except for the select few of course. Today, one such man had the unfortunate experience of falling under Queen Nia's radar. Of arousing her suspicions. Whether they were valid or not, was irrelevant. She was going to use him as an example for her pet. She was going to make her spill blood.
Nia was currently seated on her throne, the rest of the room empty with the exception of one of her warriors, and the war chief. The man in question was on his knees before her. Already trembling, begging for his life. Perfect. Though it got to be a bit ridiculous so Nia had her war chief gag him for some time.
When the doors were open and Ontari entered -- as Nia had summoned her -- the queen titled her chin up a little. "Ontari. This man before you threatens to reveal your identity." He may not have known before, but he most certainly knew now. "What is your judgment?" A bit of a test. To see how far Ontari had come. To see if she was truly ready or if she would need to be shown more of the queen's wrath and brutal lessons.

Nia had enough. She was livid. Ever since word had come that Lexa retreated, depriving everyone of their right for justice. Justice for all those lost in the Mountain. Justice for Tondc. Justice for everything. She instead, ran away. Nia would rather her warriors die an honorable death in battle, than live a long life as a coward. So the queen was displeased, to say the least. The problem arose with Skaikru. With Wanheda. And the time to be idle was over.
This, was what Nia had been waiting for, for years. Ever since the formation of the coalition. Patience had paid off. Now came the time to strike against the Commander. To make a grand move. To display her power and support from the other clans. For Nia was not the only one who was enraged by the retreat. Blood must have blood. Words that they lived by. Breathed by. Nia for one, refused to neglect this sacred philosophy. She would not stand for it.
Which brought her to her first order of business. She summoned Echo to her council room. It was smaller than her throne room, and would allow for the required privacy. When her best scout entered, Nia waved her hand to dismiss her guards, though they remained stationed at the door. Not that she believed Echo would do anything. The woman had proved to be loyal. Trustworthy. Capable. And Nia was going to use all those things, especially the latter, to entrust her with this task.
"My spies inform me that the Commander has Wanheda," she began to say. By her son no less. There was no chance that Nia was going to get her hands on her to kill her. To take in her power. So she had to move to plan B. Nia moved around the room, his back initially facing Echo before she turned to look at her. "It is time we strike." Do something rather than nothing. They had been idle for too long. Justice must be had. Jus drein jus daun.

Skaikru was becoming the bane of Nia's existence. The queen had been so close to successfully ending Lexa's reign. She had put forth her vote of no confidence. She had the support of the clan leaders. But alas, Lexa broke her own law when it came to being forced from the throne. Death and an unanimous vote. She honored neither. But then, the Commander held no honor in her actions. She was now bringing forth the notion that blood must not have blood. And people were angry. Nia was angry. The very essence of their culture, their ruling, reliant on this form of justice.
Yet constantly being deprived of it. The only thing that had changed, was the presence of Skaikru. Of Wanheda. This prompted Nia to learn more. Her spies were everywhere, and they had informed her of a young Skaikru girl. One who had apparently fallen in love with Lincoln. Nia did not care about the details of their ridiculous naive love, but what she did care about, was how she could use it to her advantage.
Which was why she had sent a couple of her warriors to kidnap the girl and bring her here. Word came that they had arrived with success. Nia sat on her throne, a smirk on her stone cold features as the girl's hands were bound, her mouth gagged, practically dragged into the throne room and pushed to her knees; forced to bow before Queen of Azgeda. Nia enjoyed the submission position. She gave a short nod to one of her warriors, as they pulled down the gag from Octavia's mouth.
Nia looked her over, eying her, taking her in so that she could grow familiar with her expression. Her attire. "Clad in the attire of Trikru. Possessing the blood of Skaikru." The words were an observation, a revelation of what Nia knew of her . . . and that this was very intentional. "You, foolish girl, are dreadfully confused." These words, were meant as nothing more than an insult. FROM THE ICE INSIDE HER SOUL

Skaikru. Truth be told, Nia did not have an issue with them. They were more Trikru's problem. From what she had heard, it was quite pitiful. Her spies had informed her that they were not but a small group of children. Yet managed to destroy how many warriors, over 300 from what her informants told her. Pathetic. But alas, that was the difference between Azgeda and Trikru. Her warriors were strong. They could wipe them out in the blink of an eye. But that was not her current priority. It gave her nothing in return. She was curious to see what they could offer her. Her issue was with the Commander. Not Skaikru.
Word came that the ambassador, apparently their highly regarded leader, had arrived. Nia was unmoved. She remained on her throne and watched him come in. He bowed his head but not his body. She had killed people for less. But decided that Skaikru was naive. They would soon learn otherwise. She drummed her fingers on the handle of her throne where her hand casually rested. She started at the man while he offered words of praise for Azgeda.
Smart. Any insult would have cost him his tongue. "Well clearly your books--" The word said with disdain. "Can not capture the true glory of Azgeda." She was arrogant when it came to her nation. She had worked hard for it. "Only your experience here can do that." She stared at him for a few more moments, her eyes moving over him as to take in what she could of his deamanour. "How many accompanied you?" She had an idea but not a solid number, and wanted to know. FROM THE ICE INSIDE HER SOUL

Everything I do is for Azgeda
SHE'S GOING TO CATCH A COLD
Patience was something Nia had grown accustomed to. Ever since being forced in the coalition, she had been waiting. Waiting for her chance to wage war on an unfit Commander. And it was difficult. But she had the right person in place. She only needed to overthrow Heda and replace her with one of Azgeda. It would give them the ultimate power. Right now however, her thoughts were more directed to Mount Weather. While the queen did not support Lexa, she did support the destruction of the Mountain Men.
So she had sent soldiers and her War Chief. The first news that reached back was that Tondc has been bombed. The already angry queen felt more enraged. She sent reinforcements, ready to storm the mountain. So now, it was a waiting game. Some of her best were locked up in the Mountain, Echo being one of them. Her loyalty was to the queen so when she had disappeared for a prolonged period of time, Nia could only assume she was in there. Maybe dead. All the more reason to claim vengeance; as promised by Heda.
When the doors were pushed open, Nia's head tilted to look toward it. Her expression transformed from having been engaged in this conversation, to seeing her best scout returned. Alive. So it was done. The Mountain was destroyed. Nia did not raise from her seat though did wave her hand dismissively to the Ambassador would step aside. Nia's gaze fixated on her kneeling scout. "What news?" She demanded. "Speak now. Tell me all." She had enough spies everywhere, but she had learned to trust Echo's word. The woman had not betrayed her in all her time, and considering she may have been in the Mountain after all, she would have a detailed inside look as to what happened. FROM THE ICE INSIDE HER SOUL

 | ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Name:. Nia
.:Nick Name:. Queen
.:Affiliation:. Azgeda
.:Age:. Early 40s
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Nia has facial scars as is common among her people. Her hair is dark blond and usually tied up in some manner so that it does not get in her way. She dresses in the typical colors of Azgeda: blue and grey tones. Her eyes are outlined with a smeared black substance [arguably blood], which makes her lightly colored eyes even more piercing like daggers. She has a strong build to her and a dominating as well as intimidating presence. She has a strong walk, sauntering like a snake.
.:Height:. 5"11'
.:Portrayed by:. Brenda Strong
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Nia is known as a ruthless leader. She is a strong queen, willing to do anything and everything to maintain her power and strengthen Azgeda. She is canniving, manipulative, and unsympathetic. She is strongly intelligent, especially in politics and strategy. She is hardly afraid to use violence, torture and any form of physical aggression. In fact, she thrives on it. She is cold and calculated, and doesn't show emotion as she believes it is weakness. Peace is not her goal. Holding onto her power is.
.:Special Skills:. She is a strong leader, well versed in politics, strategy, and warefare. She is a strong combatant, but in her position tends to have others do the fighting for her when necessary. She is infamous for her torture methods, particularly beheadings. She seems to have a thing for beheading.
| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. Azgeda
.:Family:. Husband [deceased], ash [son], iah [adopted daughter . . . sort of]
.:Occupation:. Queen of Azgeda
.:History:. Nia was raised by a father who's mindset was show no weakness, and ruthlessness was a show of strength. This was the mentality that Nia thrived on. And one that she eventually ruled with. For it was through war and violence that she made Azgeda the largest and perhaps strongest clan of them all. She does not believe in having friends but rather, rules through fear. She is not submissive to anyone and refuses to bow down. She is power hungry, and is willing to do anything and everything to control it. She is also aware of the need for a successor. She married with the sole intention of having a daughter or son, preferably a daughter as she saw strength in women. It was not long after that she carried a child in her womb. After giving birth to a healthy and strong baby boy, her concern of having an air was no longer an issue. Her husband's method of parenting however was vastly different. She found him too soft and therefore, killed him, not wanting Roan to take after his father.
Nia continued her reign, placing spies all over the clans so that she remained well informed. When a new Commander was placed as Heda, Nia got word of her efforts to create a coalition. This threatened everything that Nia worked for in terms of having such a strong clan. Nia learned of a lover she had named Costia and decided to use this to extract information. She kidnapped the girl in attempt to get information about Lexa from her. When the woman refused, and was not breaking. Nia eventually killed her. She sent one of her best spies, Echo , to deliver the head, slipping it into the Commander's bed. This resulted in retaliation.
Despite Nia's lacking desire to join the coalition, Lexa as Heda had the support of all other clans and threatened Azgeda. In exchange for joining them or getting wiped out, Lexa struck a deal. That Azgeda could join the coalition in exchange for her son's banishment. Nia expected it was a mutual loss of a loved one. With no other choice, the queen was forced to agree, devastating in losing her heir to the throne but determined to gain him back. She was begrudgingly part of the coalition though despises being forced to bow down and submit to another. She has been plotting, and waiting for her time to strike when the Mount Weather fiasco occurred. . . no better opportunity arose to reclaim her power. Only this time, she made sure to gain the support of the other clans first, staging a coup and a vote of no confidence. Unfortunately, Nia did not get further than that.
Permission from Echo was granted!
