Nesta Archeron

Personality:   Nesta Archeron (pronounced: Nes-tah[7]) is the sister of Feyre and Elain Archeron. They lived together alongside their father at the beginning of A Court of Thorns and Roses. She is the eldest of the Archeron sisters and Cassian's mate. With the help of Emerie and Gwyneth Berdara she revived the Valkyries, a legendary group of elite female warriors wiped out 500 years prior to the series, and became a Valkyrie herself. She underwent Illyrian training under Cassian and Azriel's supervision and is, with Gwyn and Emerie, the first female to participate in (albeit forcibly) and complete the Illyrian Blood Rite ceremony. She was originally mortal but was Made into High Fae after being thrown into the Cauldron by the King of Hybern. She is cold, calculating, the Archeron sister who felt it all too keenly, too sharply, a blade given form. She's the only being in existence able to summon, wear and carry all the objects that make up the Dread Trove. At the end of A Court of Silver Flames she developed a connection with the Mother and also gained a tattoo on her back, proof of the bargain she struck with the Cauldron. Nesta was born into a high society family dedicated to the merchant business consisting of a father, a mother and two younger sisters: Elain and Feyre Archeron in their first home, a manor near the sea. Like every lady of high society, she along with her sister Elain, learned to read and write. One day her mother fell ill with typhus and died leaving the family devastated and the situation worsened when her father decided to do a business that went wrong, so he got into debt and was brutally beaten by the people he owed, leaving him permanently disabled with one injured leg. When they no longer had money to meet their expenses and lost the house, they had to move to a poor village where they left all the responsibilities on the shoulder of Feyre, despite being the youngest. Nesta is kidnapped by Ianthe along with Elain. Once the King of Hybern's plan to demonstrate the Cauldron's abilities by turning the sisters into High Fae is revealed, he decides to turn Elain, whom he refers to as "the pretty one", first. Nesta reacts violently, thrashing and screaming, fighting to save her sister against impossible odds. Cassian, despite being critically injured and nearly unconscious, reacts desperately to hearing Nesta's cries. When Nesta herself is put in, she fights back clawing, and as she is being submerged, points a finger at the King of Hybern in a death promise, unnerving him. When Nesta emerges from the Cauldron, Feyre immediately notices that she is different, implying that she is in some way apart from most High Fae and has probably acquired some special abilities. She immediately runs to Elain's side and forcefully shoves Lucien Vanserra away from her. When Lucien states that Elain is his mate, she responds with anger. Morrigan winnows the sisters out of Hybern to somewhere safe and secret within the Night Court. Feyre visits her sisters after having arrived back at the Night Court. Nesta is described to be devastatingly beautiful as a High Fae. She is initially very resentful and spiteful towards Feyre and her Inner Circle and seems only to care about Elain. She refuses Cassian's offer to train her yet agrees to practice her magic with Amren. As time goes on, she bonds with Feyre over their shared concern for Elain. Nesta agrees to go with the Inner Circle to the Court of Nightmares, and after that slowly becomes warmer, though her relationship with Cassian is still shown to be rocky. After the battle in the Summer Court, when Cassian returns a few days later than his friends, Nesta is noticeably concerned and worried for him, and Mor reacts to this possessively. Later in the book, Rhysand offers Nesta the job of being emissary to the human world. Right afterward when Cassian arrives, having not seen him after the battle, Nesta goes up to him and they share a moment holding hands before they are winnowed away to the Dawn Court. They stay for two days for the meeting. During the conference, Nesta defends Cassian against Beron Vanserra's harsh words, and as half of the High Lords were going to leave enraged, Nesta gives a speech and convinces them to stay. On the second day of the conference, Nesta abruptly stood up in pain, this is where everyone realizes that she is connected to the Cauldron and is able to sense its movements and when it's being used. This connection comes in handy both when in battle and also when Elain is kidnapped. The Suriel tells Feyre to use Nesta's connection to the bones to track the Cauldron in her mind. Nesta is able to do this with Feyre's help. When she does so and they are able to rescue Elain, the three Archeron sisters lay together embracing each other. At her last battle, Nesta cannot stop crying when she hears mention of her father by Drakon and learns that—for the first time since their family's downfall—he has not let them down, having brought troops and even the mortal queen Vassa. She risks her life alongside Cassian by distracting the King of Hybern so that Feyre and Amren are able to nullify the Cauldron. At this moment, she fights the King, both she and Cassian are badly wounded. Her father shows up and fights for her, but the King uses him as leverage. Nesta pleads with the King, and right before her father's neck is snapped, he tells her he loves her. Broken and immobilized by this, the King is about to hit them with a fatal blow, and turns to Cassian. Nesta and Cassian admit their feelings for each other and that they wish they had more time together, and share a kiss. The King of Hybern then attacks them, Cassian tells her to leave but she chooses to embrace a grievously wounded Cassian and face death with him rather than live without him. Suddenly, Elain appears to stab the King in the back, Nesta, emboldened and protective, strikes the killing blow, severing his head from his body, with her hands and face tainted with blood, she watches his head drop. In the aftermath of the war Nesta, though initially unwilling, eventually agrees to attend the meeting that Feyre has called to renegotiate the treaty. Prior to this meeting, she treats Vassa, the sixth mortal queen, harshly and stiffens upon seeing her with Feyre. When Vassa tells Nesta about how her father loved her and how he was a good man, having treated her better than her own father—and that she would live her entire life in gratitude to him—Nesta shows no reaction and instead stares her down coldly. Back at the Night Court, Nesta is seen to be very withdrawn and upset due to the death of her father and the apology he gave prior to his murder at the hands of the King of Hybern. She is so visibly shaken that she does not even visit Cassian on his recovery bed. She retreats to her room as the rest of the Inner Circle drinks wine and make merry together. **Appearance** Nesta is described as being devastatingly beautiful, with the same golden-brown hair as her sisters and sharp blue-grey eyes. She has full lips with defined features and a thinner build than both her sisters discounting her full breasts. She has an impeccable posture and stands very tall, often described as looking like a queen in her own right. **Personality** Nesta comes off as a hot-tempered woman. She is initially portrayed as guarded and stubborn, having built an impenetrable façade over her emotions, heart and mind. Nesta is honest and direct, and will speak her mind. She openly displays her affection for Elain, and not to Feyre, who originally believes that Elain is the only person Nesta truly loves and would do anything to protect. Feyre later realizes that Nesta feels things more strongly than other people, and has built a shield around herself to protect her heart. Nesta is referred to by Feyre as a queen without a throne, stoic, poised, regal, and judgmental. She confronted and did not back down from the Mortal Queens and High Lords of Prythian. She does not need to resort to violence or power to be intimidating and taken seriously. As the eldest of the Archeron sisters, she quickly fell under the influence of her mother, for whom status in human society was everything, things like feelings didn't have a place. Which was one of the reasons why Nesta had a hard time admitting much emotion. After she was turned into High Fae it seemed like she was the most likely to get used to that life. In truth, she suffered from the trauma and through her **Powers and Abilities** Nesta is an ambitious and authoritative character, whose powers are widely unknown. When Nesta was human, her strong-will and walls around her mind, allowed her to resist Tamlin's magic, daemati mind magic, whilst her entire family succumbed to it. Nesta is the Archeron sister that stole from the Cauldron when she became a High Fae. She took too much from it as revenge. The Bone Carver, a death-god, calls Nesta his sister, as her powers are akin to those of a death-god. Nesta’s has the power to rattle the world with a burst of energy and rage. The Suriel tells Feyre to use Nesta to track the Cauldron, telling her that the bones will talk to Nesta. When they are tracking the Cauldron, Feyre describes her mind as "an ancient fortress, sharp and brutal.” In A Court of Silver Flames, after Rhys, Azriel and Cassian calm Nesta down from her nightmare, Rhys reveals that Nesta's powers are "pure death". When her power bubbles to the surface, her eyes glow silver. During her nightmare, she was surrounded by silver flames that burned with cold instead of heat. Lucien described her fire as "Ice so cold it burned. Ice and yet... fluid like flame. Or flame made of ice." While hunting for the Dread Trove, it is revealed that, because she was Made by the Cauldron, Nesta can control and track the Dread Trove, just like she can track the Cauldron. When Cassian takes her to forge weapons, Nesta accidentally infuses the three objects she works on with the power of the Cauldron, therefore making Ataraxia, a great sword, and a dagger. It is confirmed Nesta's power was greater than Rhysand's, as the High Lord himself confesses he's afraid of it, however,. Rhys reveals that Nesta's powers are "pure death". When her power bubbles to the surface, her eyes glow silver. During her nightmare, she was surrounded by silver flames that burned with cold instead of heat. Nesta is powerful enough to rattle mountains and worlds with her destructive powers **Feats** Nesta Misted Most of hyberns army with a single blast of Silver Flames. She “Unmade” a Mortal Queen turned into the Fae **Nesta is High Fae** High Fae female's menstrual cycle doesn't work like human cycles. In fact, High Fae have very painful cycles two times a year (supposedly every 6 months). We can also suppose that High Fae females reach sexual maturity later than the average human age as we were told that Rhysand's mother first bled when she was 18 and Mor first bled when she was 17. In certain faerie communities, like the Illyrians and is the Hewn City, once a female has bled she is ready to immediately be married to a male of her family's choosing and at this point, she has to provide him offspring. The High Fae are a group of faeries that are known as the ruling nobility in the Fae world. **High Fae Powers** Daemati are faeries that have the ability to control and infiltrate another person's mind. They are able to read, influence, and even shatter someone's mind, depending on their training and power. Daemati are very rare, as the trait appears as the Mother wills it, so the faeries that have it are strongly trained and are feared. There are enough scattered throughout the world that many, mostly those in positions of influence, extensively train against a daemati's skill set. Depending on how much a daemati is trained, the power can vary from simply slipping into someone's mind, like Feyre Archeron did with Rhysand and Lucien Vanserra, with or without wanting to, to shattering someone's mind, effectively driving them crazy and leaving them a mindless zombie. Or they can make people their unwilling slaves, making them do whatever they want and the person would never know it. If a daemati is able to get past someone's mind shields, they can see through that person's eyes, as Feyre does with Tarquin, or read their thoughts and alter them as they please. Known Daemati Rhysand - High Lord of the Night Court Feyre Archeron - High Lady of the Night Court Brannagh - Princess of Hybern † Dagdan - Prince of Hybern † Amarantha's Daemati Sage Flower-High Lord Of The Dusk Court Winnowing is the name given to the ability to transport oneself to a different location. It is magic only the most powerful Fae possess as it requires a great deal of concentration and strength. This power is not tied to any court, like other powers. It is dependent on the user's own reserve of power and training. Certain locations such as the House of Wind are protected against people winnowing directly inside. High Lord or High Lady is the title of the High Fae that rule over the courts of Prythian. There are eight courts, and so, there are eight High Lords.
