Nyx has a little shack out in the woods that she's turned into her little shop of curiosities. As a "witch doctor," she deals in all kinds of mysterious. She claims she can do anything Dr. F does, "but the typical things should be left to the ol' doc," as she says. Nyx deals in the more supernatural and lesser-known goods. Stuff for those who are looking for a little adventure, want to go out on a limb, or perhaps something a little... off the beaten path, so to speak.
Simple things? Yeah, she can provide some pain soothing salve, some gurp repellent, or minor magic healing, all manner of things that she can easily brew up.
But something a bit more... unique? Perhaps even a little taboo? That's what she specializes in. Love potions? Bravery talismans? Books on the occult? Charms, amulets, trinkets, all things she can whip up just fine. All you need to do is ask. And be prepared to pay, of course.
PLOT HOOKS
Need a little bit of plot for your wyngro? Feel free to use Nyx and her shop for something! I can't actually do big crazy roleplays for each thing, or even do more than a bit of talking about a plot thing, but I want to provide something for others to use to further
their plots, if that makes sense! Examples:
- PET SITTER - Nyx is a pet magnet. She has a whole bunch of runeboos and coatala hanging out at her shack that she feeds and takes care of. She adopts them out to wyngrew who pass buy, as long as she trusts the wyngro to be a good pet owner. If a pet decides that it likes someone who came by for something else, she'll work her charm to try and get that person to adopt the pet, since it seems to have chosen THEM after all! If you've got a pet you don't know what to do with yet, you're more than welcome to "drop it off" at Nyx's place for her to take care of, and then come "adopt it back" once you've figured out what you wanna do with the pet! (Disclaimer: I'm not owning the pet in any way shape or form, it's still 100% yours, and at most I'd just draw the pet as a background element for non-related plot of my own).
- BREEDING - Another service Nyx is willing to offer is being a surrogate mother for any male wyngrew who want a biological egg. Gay couples, single dads, whatever. As long as the biology is male. Just so long as you're willing to compensate her for her time, and she isn't required to have anything to do with the egg or the wyngling ever again. OOC, you will provide the breeding ticket, and depending on how we'd like to work it out, you would probably also do 2/3 of the relationship pictures, but I'm flexible!
- Gro too scared to talk to that pretty lady? Well, take this talisman, whisper the activation phrase, and squeeze it tight before you talk to her, and it will instill a burst of confidence you need! (Totally not a placebo that just happens to work every time, the bravery was within you all along! BWAHAHAHA)
- Want that handsome gro over there to love you as much as you secretly love them? Well, take this little box here and give it to him. But be sure he's the one to open it! No peeking inside beforehand! Make sure you give it to him in person so he looks you in the eye and knows it's from you, then leave him to look in the box in private. Then all you need to do is wait. If it's meant to be, he'll come talk to you and you can watch the love blossom! If it's not meant to be, you'll find that out as well. (Totally not a box that quite simply has a letter inside that says "The wyngro that gave this to you has a big crush, take them out on a date! Or, if you're completely not interested, let them know bluntly so there's no confusion.")
- Have a little grudge on somebody? She can be convinced to help with something along the lines of a hex or a curse. Results may vary. (Totally not a thing that's usually a mostly harmless prank, writing it off as "It didn't work because they're not deserving of the hex, so it just sprayed sticky glitter all over instead as an inconvenience.")
- Want to learn some magic? You can buy or borrow one of her many tomes on various magics, perhaps even getting a bit of help practicing. So long as you don't stay long and don't assume you're friends. She'll quickly kick people to the curb if they stick around too long or get too chummy. This is business.
- Want something that Dr. F could provide, but too shy of the good doctor? Well, no idea why you're here because it's a creepy shack out in the middle of the woods, but hey, sometimes that's less scary than the happy town doctor.
- Want some kind of fertility charm? Want to make sure that night with your significant other ensures a wyngling? Well, it's gonna happen anyway when the gros do the do, but hey, if you wanna pay her for some little charm that makes you think things will go better, she'll sell it to you in a heartbeat.
- Etc., etc. Feel free to comment with ideas!
INTERACTION
So you want to interact with Nyx for one of her services? Well, upon arrival, she'll immediately do her flirty little mysterious smile and invite you in. The shack is dark, a bit cluttered, and maybe even a little dusty, depending on the day. Drying herbs, strings, cages, and other mysterious things hang from the ceiling, books, bottles, and jars litter every available surface.
Nyx is a charming, bombastic, confident, and rather voluptuous woman who knows how to work it, so to speak. She puts up a front of a tease and a seductress, using her charm and looks to get where she wants to go (for a good starting point, you could use the character Mad Moxie from Borderlands as a reference if you know her). Behind it all though, she's incredibly clever and well educated, and is just as capable at outsmarting you as she is enchanting you with her flirting. When it comes down to it, she can be incredibly serious and steadfast. The siren-like act is just that: an act. It's still a part of her personality, yes, but she can turn it off as easily as a switch when need be to get someone to take her seriously.
When meeting a new wyngro, her interactions usually start out with her charming side, gushing over them to really flatter them, and teasing cutely, perhaps even seducing them a smidgen (male or female). All in an effort to get them wrapped around her finger to get what she wants (usually a sale). If that seems to fall flat though, she'll usually fall back on just plain ol' innocent teasing, or drop the act completely and just get down to business.
As payment for Nyx's various services, she takes standard coins (money), but also loves to trade for mysterious or spooky objects, books (especially on occult, supernatural/paranormal, magic, and medicinal plants), and ingredients for her various medicines and potions. Sometimes even simple things like interesting feathers or small bones or pretty stones. Basically anything to expand her collection.

SO HOW DO I DO THIS?
Just comment below with what you want to do! I'll do a short little plot chat with you working out the specifics of how things will go down. Naturally, I can't really do art or anything on my part, so it's kinda all up to you. Treat Nyx as an NPC in a way! Just let me know what you want (like "My gro wants some books on magic!" or "My gro needs one of those courage talismans" or whatever) and I'll let you know what Nyx gives in return.
- For pets, feel free to just drop a link/picture of the pet and I can add it to the little list below. Then your pet can hang out with the others until you need it back for plot!
- For breeding, let me know what gro you wanna breed, and we'll work out the details. Beware of wait lists!
