Description
--------------------
Nijena Jaś stands nearly six feet tall, with dark brown hair and bronze skin which has a slight metallic sheen if one looks close enough. Her eyes are golden with purple flecks. Her celestial heritage is most prominently announced by the halo that floats above her head, a dull golden color normally, but should the mood take her, Nijena can make it blaze with heavenly fire. She wears simple clothes and a bright white cloak, and a small wooden medallion depicting the five wings of the Empyreal Lord Ragathiel.
She walks tall and carries herself with pride. Quick with a smile or a glare, she makes a habit of standing up for the innocent and will raise her shield to protect a stranger.

Background
--------------------
Nijena Jaś was born and raised in Absolom to two adventurers: Kai and Quis Jaś, a swordswoman and a cleric of Iomedae, respectively. They were surprised when their daughter was born with a different skin color than either of them, but Quis recognized is as the blessing it was. Consulting his faith, he realized that she was born with celestial heritage, although such heritage was unknown in either family line.
From an early age then, Nijena was trained in the martial and spiritual arts, although she tended to favor the former. Quis always expected her to follow in his footsteps and serve Iomedae, and while Nijena did favor that goddess, she never committed to the faith, always wondering where her celestial heritage came from. As her parents aged she performed the odd quest here and there to help her parents or their old adventuring companions, including an elven woman named Aralotiel, who took a liking to her and decided to trace her heritage as far back as she could. The two grew closer over the years of research, Nijena acting as her bodyguard and, eventually, her lover, as Aralotiel traveled further and further afield to chase down the mystery.
Eventually, in Magnimar, they found an ancient aasimar, an ancestor on her mother’s side, who told Nijena that she was descended from Lucidus Lightsworn, a herald of Ragatheil, one of the Empyreal Lords.
Satisfied, the pair returned to Absolom, in time to bury Nijena’s parents. Soon thereafter, Aralotiel grew bored with their relationship, since the mystery had been, to all appearances, solved, and she became interested in other things. Nijena began researching her ancestor and the Lord he served. While meditating on the issue one night, Nijena was visited by Lucidus Lightsworn himself, who told her that she must swear her sword in service to Ragathiel and become his paladin, for her birth had been foretold. Although he gave her no details, simply the charge to defend the weak and punish the wicked, he revealed upon her head a halo of a dull gold color, that would blaze with a heavenly fire when she willed.
Emboldened by her new charge, Nijena applied to the Pathfinder Society, as her parents had once been members, seeing it as the quickest route to helping people and fighting evil, and swore her sword to the Silver Crusade.
