Neseva was your typical girl homebody girl who was born into a family that is practically considered royalty for their status in a hidden government branch. Her mother, Pamela, was passed the honor of running the Hunter Society along with her husband, Deacon Belikov. Pam was in her late twenties when Nes was born. She grew up in a strict and fast environment where she was expected to be top of her class to become a successful asset to her family business; following her parents' footsteps. However, because of this, her story is rather boring and short. It might give one the impression that the power that her family holds had gone to her head. Many thought her the spoiled brat of the leaders. Yet all she wanted to do was live up to honor her parents, and let them see that she was capable of so much more in life than being a glorified lie detector. You can say that she had been very caged. This isn't a bio about some poor girl who wanted to find the key to her cage, it's about a girl who made that path for herself, with no key needed.

It didn't help that while Neseva mentally grew and aged, her body did not. Because of how powerful that she was by a young age, Nes had a block put on her by her parents, which had so happened to stunt her physical growth leaving her looking younger than what she ought to be for a long time until she herself was able to break from it. From the ages of about eleven to eighteen, Nes perpetually looked like a twelve-year-old. This only increased her want to go out and do her own thing in the world and make her own name. Thus began her short rebellion.

It started when she decided that she wanted to become a full-fledged hunter, and not just be enabled to state it because of her parents' status. She wanted to earn her rank and become one. When her parents said no, she did as most teens did and rebelled without a cause. She chopped off all of her hair, proclaimed that she was not a child, and she was glad to say that at 17 she was the youngest ever to be able to join in the Trials to become a hunter.

There were lessons and horrors, but Nes fought through just as well as her mentor, Alice, and fellow pupil Jason did. After nearly dying by the end of the last one, but battling bravely against a Wendigo, she was officially declared a hunter. From it though, she had been changed. Something happened to her on that hunt, and all she knew was that she was reborn.

 From an early age, Neseva was gifted. By four she was reading the minds of others. By six she could influence her parents to tell her the truth by touching them alone, by nine she was fully fledged in pulling secrets from people's minds and reading the emotions of others as her own. 

  She was gifted in the psychic art.

This had alarmed her parents. But one day when she was four, and she didn't wake up for 3 days, they panicked. And upon her coming to, she stated that she had to find her way back to her body. Right then, they knew she was far too powerful. They gathered a coven of witches to put a block on her powers, reducing them to 10%, as well as taking the right precautions so that she was not able to breach the barriers of their own minds. She was, as far as they knew, safe.

This did not help other people, however. The other kids who were raised in the system at the Hunter Society didn't want to socialize with her and she was seen as the black sheep. The girl who already was on top of the game, who had the adoring parents, with teachers who did everything in their power to make sure that she had all the top training... So why would they befriend someone as weird and privileged as that? A girl that would blurt out the thoughts of others and see and tell their feelings unannounced?

She was outcasted for being far too strong. It wasn't that she wasn't likable, but with nicknames like, "the mind reader" or "mind flayer" it gave her the feeling that no one wanted her around, thus she could not help but to keep away from the other hunters and kids. As they should, nobody liked their privacy invaded.

It did not deter Nes by any means, however. She was used to being in her own world and was happy with it. She never thought different was bad or scary, she thought of it as unique and beautiful. So, Neseva always made it a goal in her life to find these strange oddities and outcasted people like herself and she makes the most of it. 

She owned up to her black sheep status and implored others to do the same.

Nes has an odd but brilliantly excelling power of being an Esper. A being who is crossed between a psychic: a person who is inexplicable by natural laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance. And a medium: A person in contact with the spirits of the dead; can communicate between the dead and the living. Along those lines, are also magical properties she can use that are still being delved with little by little.

In having these powers she can access more than 70% of her mind after the accident on the hunt that allowed her to fully unlock the powers that had been barred away from her for so long. Little by little she's learning to handle them better. And over the years has grown quite powerful and imperious to failure.

Abilities:

Mental: 
•Telepathy: She can read the minds of people within a 10-meter radius. She can pick and choose who she listens to, or how deeply she can pry. She can only hear the current thoughts at the top of their head.
• Tactile Sifting: Upon touching someone she can sift through past thoughts and memories. It takes time, she must concentrate to get what she wants. If one so chooses to fight it they may, but face the pressure of her attacking rather than seeking for it.
• Implant: She now can implant memories, thoughts, and emotions into the minds of other people in order to manipulate them to do or say as she pleases, this also means she can either temporarily or permanently erase memories from someone.
• Inducing: Ability to induce mental hallucinations, causing the person to see and hear something that is not truly there or feel an excruciatingly painful sensation of burning/electricity in the body. She can project the illusion to one or more people. The more complex, amount, or intense the illusion, the more strain it puts on her.
• Clairvoyance: She can gain direct visual information about an object, person, location or physical event through psychic means. This is coupled with Psychic Navigation which is the ability to locate people/objects or create a mental map of an area. All she needs is either a face or an object.  

Physical:
•Telekinesis: She possesses the ability to exert a force on physical objects without touching them to move by sensing the atomic frequencies of a given object and altering the gravitational field around it, this allows her to move both animate and inanimate objects, people, ect. Along with this, she can access the molecular level of them, creating shields in the air around herself to deflect bullets or create power fists and kicks, a strike that delivers three times the power of a normal punch, this can all cause a strain on her. 
• Biokinesis: She can manipulate the human body to a degree. Be this she can apply painful pressure on people's brains. This can cause ruptures in a person's blood vessels, extreme pain in a person's body by sparking their nerves, or even a pause of bodily functions and forcing someone to pass out. It can cause strain on herself depending on how much effort she puts into it. (This is still being explored.)
• Pyrokinesis: The ability to manipulate and speed up the atomic state to the point of combustion. Generally new and strenuous to her. Her flame manifests from blue to purple at its hottest.

Spiritual:
• Mediumship: She can see ghosts, spirits, entities, demons, ect. She also has the ability to communicate should they so choose, they can sometimes "leave" her line of sight.
• Empath: By being close to a person she can read and sense the current emotions of them.
• Aura Seeking: If she so chooses she can open a 'third eye', in doing so she can peer at one's aura, easily being able to view the color.

Beyond the abilities of her mind and intelligence such as being fluent in Russian, German, Spanish, French, Polish, Japanese, Italian, and Swedish, Nes is not strong in such things as physical power and strength. What she does have, however, is the ability of cunning prowess. Nes does not go into battle without protection; she goes in with tricks up her sleeve. Since a child, she was not able to defend herself with strength but learned other ways of defense. She can do so by throwing knives and using her telekinetic abilities to her advantage. She had been taught the skill of switchblades, and throwing blades by her uncle, and continues to practice the art on her own time. After gaining the ability to unlock herself she can now add on with it. 

When throwing her custom-made knives she can use telekinesis to guide where she wishes the blade to go. It proves effective at the best of times. At other times when she runs out of knives, she is also skilled in shooting. Shotguns, handguns, and snipers are her best sets. Not a bullet is wasted by the same ability to be able to guide the bullet. 

Weaknesses:

While being mentally strong and mind-tempered, Neseva can still suffer from all ailments that can be put on a normal person. This could be overexertion, sleep deprivation, being drugged, wounded, blood loss, sickness, and everything that could befall anyone else. She may have the mental strength of Professor X, but she is still human. And no matter how much discipline her mind has she can still succumb to normal worldly things.

 Neseva had never been much of a looker, or at least that was what she said about herself.  She was girlish enough in places, but as a whole, she often described her looks like that of a twelve-year-old boy whose voice hadn't even dropped yet. After she unlocked herself, it transformed her more than she knew. She finally grew out of her baby fat and bloomed into her body. Puberty finally slapped her as she likes to say. She went from a 5ft kid to a 5'8ft bombshell. Her body is lithe, and filled out, giving curves in places and C's in others. No longer does she claim to look like a little boy but now a young lady.

Her natural hair color is a wavy mocha brown that grew rapidly with her body. Currently, it's cut short to her shoulders and adorned with a silver skunk strip at the front of her head. Her face is rounded and girly. Complimented with a button nose sprinkled with freckles across the bridge and her cheeks, and full shapely lips. The only strange thing is the startling golden almond-shaped eyes.

Her clothing could be classified as hipster-ware. Strange sizes or colors speak out to her. Fannel will forever be a go-to for her on a normal day, but if she were out hunting she can often be seen in athletic wear. Tights and jackets with sneakers. She will rarely ever be seen without a pair of chucks.

At the time she only bares one tattoo. A wendigo skull with its antlers encased in a dream catcher on her inner right wrist. The tattoo that she, in time, will be developed into a sleeve showing all her adventures. She also has two piercings, a vertical labret, and a nose ring. Occasionally she'll wear fake jewelry such as a septum pricing or a second nose ring.

~*~

Neseva is all-around goofy, pestering, and fun-loving. She takes her years of having been sheltered by her parents as a sign to be all that she ever can be by showing the world that she was there and screaming for it to know her.

She lacks a filter, curses like a sailor, and holds herself high on her own pedestal in the sense that she doesn't take people's shit. She loves the idea of being the most real her that she possibly can be by living out loud.

Spells of seriousness will at times fall over her. She'll become dignified, calculative, and even cruel with her words if she's making a point to put them out and to be listened to. A trait she picked up from her own mother who had aced this sort of state by being a leader for so many years.

Don't let this scare you though, Nes is sweet all other times. She'll go out of her way to help anyone. It could be her own undoing, however, for she finds broken people and attempts to mend them, not looking over her own shoulder at things that might go bump in the night for doing them.

Pamela and Deacon Belikov: Parents of Neseva. Pamela Duspen took up the presidency of the Hunter Society by the age of eighteen when her father, the previous leader, fell in a hunt. Since then, she's ran it fluidly and without flaw. Her husband, Deacon Belikov joined at her hip when she turned twenty. The two have been a power couple; Nes came along not far after and they had raised her in secrecy because of her unique ability, but weakened body. They love, but serve severely and faithfully to the cause; turning the HS around for the better, and will continue to do so as long as they live.

 Jorgan Belikov: Twin brother to Deacon, the males were strong and ruthless in hunting, they were attached at the hip for a long while before Deacon took charge as being the leader. Growing up he grew close to Neseva. He taught her along with her father. She considered him a best friend and grew depressed upon his murder. She will forever mourn him, but she will look up to him as the powerhouse he was. And cry when times were dark for he was an impressionable man who loved nothing more than to see the smile on people. He had an aura of ease but grew tense when the might called for it. Ruthless in battle but sensitive in heart, the man was painful to lose for anyone who knew him and shared his smile.

Alicenne O'Malley: Nes goes a ways back with Alice.  Nes was six when Alice came to the HSHQ under the wing of Jorgan, and since she had always looked up to the angry Irish huntress. The two consider each other friends. And when it came time for Neseva to be taken through the Trials to become a full-fledged hunter herself, it was Alice who mentored her. Nes will forever consider herself in debt to Alice. And no matter the pestering she gives the older woman. She will deeply forever be a go-to for Neseva. When she went as far as to go into a ghost and Wendigo infested Asylum to save her sorry ass there is not much that Nes could do but trust the woman with her life. 

Jason Hale: Jason was along with Neseva in the Trials to become a hunter. She likes to think of herself as an annoying little sister to him. She was always bugging him or saying too much. More times than not, she got into his head just to poke at him. She's since grown and appreciates his part in both of them becoming hunters together. They might not always get along, but she's thankful to him for many things. Most of all though? For the fact that he's real with her. No matter how much she might get on his nerves, how much she had liked to play "I'm-better-than-you" with him he still seemed to listen to her and to be someone that she looks up to.

Jett Morningstar: Some people might call it meet cute, but to Nes it was a series of unfortunate events that often brought the two of them on each other's trails. He might see it as having helped her, but to Nes, he was someone who kept getting in her way to one-up her. Often ridiculed and spoken down on by him, Nes finds herself easily irritated around the entity of a man. He pushes all her buttons down yet still life finds a way to keep bringing them together. The latest one being where he is finally the target. And Neseva being who she is, can't not help him. He seems to be slipping in some way, and as she does with those in need, she's willing to help him. Not yet realizing exactly what it is she's getting herself into in the process of it.

Nikolas Everett: Nik is a guy that Nes hit it off with very easily. He was a guy who needed help, and Neseva being the type that wanted to fix everyone, she ran in with developed a liking for him. She wanted to help him no matter what it took. Along that way, she found a friend in him. A deep one that she's not scared to be open about. She was willing to do anything and be anyone for him. But life happens, and suddenly he slipped through her fingers without a trace. Nik had gone missing, and Nes is currently losing her mind in an attempt to find him. If she has to turn the world over, she'll do that. Refusing to allow herself to ever stop.

Single | Pansexual | x0 - Greiving
Truth be told, Nes has no idea what she wants in a person. She's new to it, and never much considered the prospect of feelings or that she would even be liked back in the first place. What is known is that she's open to anything. She learned at a young age that she had no preference for gender, she finds attraction equally to men, women, and those with no claim. She would guess that she is looking for someone who will let her be known and seen. What is that exactly? It would be letting her be who she wants to be. She spent her life in a cage, and now she wishes to get that out and be free. She can't have anyone that wants to hold her back from it.

It's easy to say by that that she really does not have a preference in a person either. While she always considered herself a black sheep in her life growing up, it might be easy to say that she is also the type of person that she'll be looking for. Someone who understands what it felt like to live in the dark for the longest time.  To be cast out and unwanted because they were a little different. It's those people who she was always drawn to as a child. A person who has a little voice inside of them that told them that they needed to hide. If she herself, along with the other, can find that drive to be free and lively then she and them will get along just fine.

Her parents' reign and the cage in which Neseva grew up in for her entire life. (Not a bad cage, but a lonely one.) There is much good to the place, and people look up to the Hunter Society for protection, help, and a home. Sadly, Nes does not fancy it all too well. She can see, hear, and knows the good and bads of it. A hound dog which her parents occasionally used to help sweep out the bad apples behind those secured walls.

Nes wanted so much to become a hunter because it meant freedom. She could go out, do hunts, and actually do something rather than being trapped inside to be her parents' eyes and ears all day. 

Now, Neseva is running around all over the place. She takes the hunts that other people normally don't. The ones that they find are stupid or not at a high level at all to be considered dangerous. Be it fairies keep having orgies in someone's garden, to a witch looking for a difficult ingredient that they themselves might not be able to get to procure a spell or a type of potion. If so? Nes is your girl. She's not physically strong. But she's got a brain of possibilities and a skill set to get into tight places when she needs to. She's the one for those little odd hunts or goose chases. And while she might not be able to take down a bruting ass werewolf, she can be the person to help the little people out there that might need a different angled-minded person the most.

 Now that she's free to do as she wants, Neseva is owning the world and is taking names while she does it. She's here to stay, and she wants everyone to know it by either her telling them or merrily running along firing off the best that she can be while she does it. She's not an easy one to take no for an answer and she will fight her happy ass all the way to the top if she must accomplish it. Nothing is going to stop her, and nothing ever will. She is who she is meant to be. 

Along the lines of that, Neseva wishes to figure out all of her powers and how she can better use them in both for keeping herself safe and others. She knows that she is a danger to herself and the people around her that she loves. If being away and practicing things on her own and far from where people can be hurt by her she will take that chance.

As for goals, the Huntress wants to find out the truth about herself. Her parents are normal humans with no special powers so why does she have powers that should only be given to those demigods worthy of it. A wise person told her that she should wait, that the truth would come to her. But why wait? She plans on taking that advice by the horns and riding on it for the truth. She isn't going to stop until she knows. 

Currently....

Life takes its toll on her in the way someone near and dear to her suddenly goes missing. Her vice, her bestie, her first love, her endless support system is suddenly gone and she has no clue what to do with it. She's asking anyone, looking anywhere. All these powers and she can't even use them to get him back. It doesn't stop her though, and won't for a long while longer.
