She is the daughter of Sinderine and Ioruthas Araden, of Snowbourn, Rohan. As a teen, she spent all of her days learning the healing trade from her mother. They traveled through Rohan, Gondor, and eventually, made their way into Eriador where Nyssa decided to stay. She loved it too much to leave. Working in Evendim for approximately fifteen years, she wanted more, and decided to expand her contracts to various militia groups and kinsmen that would need a healer with them while they traveled. This is how she landed her role as a primary healer with her current kinship. 

Her mother passed away on her twenty ninth birthday, so when it comes around, it's the only day she is ever truly upset. She isn't much of a bark, but does have a bite if she is provoked enough. Mostly, she will let the men around her handle the combat, and she handles the aftermath. Her father still lives, but he returned to Rohan to keep their lands safe. 

Nyssalvia is part of the Dunedain bloodline. She does not give this secret freely. Since she has the red hair, it's not something that people can easily pull from her appearance. 

Nyssa loves her horse, Starlit, and is often found brushing, feeding, or giving it love. She sings a lot, hums a lot, and is always one to enjoy a good joke or lighten the mood. She considers herself a lady, and carries herself as one. Always standing upright, letting beauty escape from her with grace and poise. Nyssa doesn't have any enemies.
