Pets: Caprica, a black and white ball python. Two years old and two feet long, she was hatched by Nivalia and has stayed with her all her life. Very intelligent and can attack on command, she is calm overall and doesn’t mind being handled.

Traits - Charisma. A natural born leader, Nivalia is able to easily reassure and inspire those around her to do just about anything (good or bad). Although she doesn't come from a royal family, she has a certain regal aura around her as she speaks with utmost confidence and carries herself with a foreign feeling of authority. In debates, conversation, and bartering, she seems to convey a certain persuasion in her tone without even trying to (or at times wanting to). When she speaks, her words and arguments seem to make sense, even if she's just babbling around. Nivalia has very strong knowledge and skill in seduction, able to make anypony without enough willpower to do anything she desires (although she prefers not to utilize this). Nivalia also is great at doing impressions, able to match just about any voice she hears, to matter the age, gender, or accent; branching off of this, she works on impressions which she matches completely in a surprisingly short time.

Personality - Very kind and respectful, she will care for those around her, even if she doesn't know them. However, when needed, she'll bring up raw strength and passion when fighting for what she believes in, at times a bit too much as she can become easily aggravated. Despite her outgoing nature, Nivalia quickly changes her tone when asked about her past or history, only being open to talk about family, work, or other light subjects; even there she reveals little information about those too. Very protective of her close friends and those that rely on her, she finds joy in creating safety and security for them, as well as brutally mutilating those who wish harm on them (she can be REALLY nasty when provoked).

Likes - Dancing, singing, taking care of those close to her, her pet snake, family, gardening, dark chocolate (Which she should NEVER have.)
Dislikes - Those who think they're all that and a bag of chips, strong preying on the weak/defenseless, abuse of power of any kind(more on the way)

History: Nivalia's birth was just like any other changeling. Hatched in a brood in the changeling kingdom, the little love bug was a bit different than her siblings. Sure she reveled in feeding off love, but her mind was always wandering, exploring the world around her. It was small at first, being confined to the castle, but when she took her first steps outside, everything changed. A quick learner, Nivalia quickly adapted and expanded her magical capabilities. She had her quirks. Always wandering off to check something out. One day though, the filly traveled too far and suddenly wound in a trap. Poachers, hunting for something else, found the changeling and decided to take her along. The price for a creature like that had to run high, right? For the next couple of days Nivalia was locked up in a crate, crying alone in the dark. Her loneliness would come to end from an unexpected source. Victor, a Royal Guard, and his patrol intercept the poachers on their way to Dodge City. Surprised at his find, he couldn't bear disposing of the changeling. Instead, he takes the filly home. It was seen as an opportunity for him and his wife Sierra, who had been trying to conceive a child for some time. Once they were introduced, Nivalia and Sierra are smitten. It would take some adjustment, but eventually they would become a family. Two years later, Sierra gives birth to a colt, and name him Foxtrot.

As the years go by, Nivalia proves to be a smart and talented pony. Surrounded with constant love, the urge to feed was never present. She herself radiated it, and it showed in particular through the flowers of her garden that she spent so much time in.
Nivalia's seventeenth year was an eventful one. The family had learned that Victor had passed away in the line of duty. A sad event, but not the only one. The changeling graduated from grade school, and was accepted to The University of Vanhoover. With a double major in Botany and Business, Nivalia graduates in the top ten of her class. Pushing her education further, the finally earns Masters Degrees in both fields of study by the age of 24. Her specialty would be in the field of botanical medicine.

For the next two years, the mare works in Puerto Caballo’s National Botanical Garden. It was a comfortable job with lucrative pay, but there was something missing. She yearned to start something new, something to call her own. It would be the news of her brother though that drew her back to Equestria. After catching back up with him she comes to a revelation. A store to sell her wares and to help those around her. Given enough planning, work, and preparation, Nivalia finally opens The Herbiary. A booming success, it became well known for its exotic floral bouquets, medical remedies, and overall friendliness of the staff, owner included. Now a successful, and financially well off, business-pony, Nivalia lives her life spreading love throughout.

Despite all of this, Nivalia keeps her best kept secret as it is, a secret. Only a select few knows what she really is, and those are the ones she calls family.
