Nysa Smethwyck

Nysa Smethwyck is one of the two Smethwyck twins. Her sibling, Rivka Smethwyck, no longer lives with her. She grew up in Nolk, a fishing village in the north of Estriya. When her mother died and her sibling left the village, she was taken in by Floris.

Nysa is one of the only known Diviners in Xandorra, and learns how to be an Illusionist throughout the series. She experiences frequent visions, usually of her twin.

She works as a fisher at the docks when she isn't at school. She only goes to school part-time because she needs to work to support herself, so she has been in school for a lot longer than many of her classmates.

Nysa has a short temper and gets frustrated and bitter easily. She has a natural curiosity to life, and likes being nosy towards other people's business. She is extremely hardworking and has supported herself mostly on her own since she was young.

She is extremely lonely. She doesn't have many friends other than her best friend, Kiersta, and her adoptive father, Floris. She spends most of her time alone.
