Aside from the daughter of a king Nakia could be the daughter of a wealthy merchant maybe? Or a successful warlord? Both could be as or even more interesting than her being a princess I think.<br/><br/>On a side note, Nakia and Autolycus should definitely talk herb-lore ;)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>yeah, i wasn't wanting her a princess in the sense of the word anyway. so i'm glad it was pointed out how it looked. and i agree we have to somehow fenagle it to where they meet. she's always interested in learning such herself or passing along what she does know. i personally have some herb knowledge, and what i don't know, i got books to refresh memory, and google lol<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=100801.msg4510491#msg4510491">Quote from: PearlRuby on 15-04-2011, 23:09:03</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I would like to be honest and make a suggestion, since honesty is the best policy.<br/><br/>In the interests of character diversity, authenticity, and the fact that we already have two 'princess' slave characters, could Nakia be a chieftain's daughter instead, or something like that? It would in some ways be the equivalent to princess in that, she would be an important within her tribe. Sorry, I just see the word princess, again, and I cringe &gt;.&lt;<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Some more history/suggestions for you</span>:<br/><br/>- Russia would have formed part of Sarmatia and Scythia. “Herodotus suggested in the 5th century BC that the Sauromatae, perhaps the original Sarmatians, were descended from the Scythians and the <strong>Amazons</strong>.”<br/><br/>- Sarmatian women had a much higher social standing than their Mediterranean counterparts.<br/><br/>- Sarmatian's did have a King, but he cooperated with Rome.<br/><br/>- The 'Iazyge' tribes were a far more Nomadic branch of Sarmatian people who generally resisted  the Romans, so it's possible that Nakia originates from them?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I don't want her an Amazon, strangely enough, though I do love them and find them fascinating. so I would say she's of the Iazyge tribe, yes. definately of Nomadic origns at any rate.
