Nexus

Background
Samaira came to London when she was nine, her family immigrating from Mumbai on a job offer. A unhappy child, she spent more time lost in fantasy books and the internet than anything else. When the web bubble burst in the late 90s, the tech startup her father had moved the family for collapsed. Already rebelling against her more traditional parents, the 17 year old Samaira chose to remain behind in London when the family returned home. She managed to land herself some work as a contract programmer, but the money wasn't always good, and so she spent a lot of time connecting with London's homeless services. That was how she met Davin, and the Eyes of the Crossroads. The Eyes were a cult of street kids and gutter mages, aware of if not Awakened to the powerful Spirit Court that inhabits and feeds on the London Underground. Comprised of Spirits of movement, darkness, journeying, and information, the Spirit Court had little need for their cultists, but tolerated their existence nevertheless. Davin was the cult's face, a slick talking con artist with a talent for Telepathy, with aspirations of arcane might were coupled with a rather loose code of morals and ethics. Davin had his eyes set specifically on the Crossroad's Stone, the artifact the cult was built upon. He believed that by trapping a number of Eyes in the space between worlds, such a "sacrifice" would empower the Crossroad's Stone and grant him Influence over travel and darkness in the same manner as the most powerful Spirits of the London Underground Court. Samaira had been suspicious of Davin for years, but had been too caught up in the dreams that were the precursor to her own Awakening to pay him too much heed. She had already been contacted by the Guardians of the Veil, made aware that the magic which she had longed after for so long was now within her grasp. If not for the Intervention of the Mysterium, his scheme would have succeeded not in empowering the Crossroad's Stone, but rather in ripping the Gauntlet within the King's Cross tube station to shreds. The Awakened had been observing the Eyes for several months, however, and moved in to remove the Crossroad's Stone just as Davin tried to betray his fellow cultists.

Description
Nexus appears as a woman in her late 20's of Indian descent. Her jet black hair is cut short, and generally dyed one of a constantly changing assortment of neon colors. Her skin is a light brown, suggesting more Northern Indian heritage than Southern. Her nose is pierced with several hoops, as are her ears, though the look is decidedly more goth-punk-witch and less traditional Indian woman. She tends to dress in a lot of flowing layers, generally blacks or dark purples, with hand sewn patches of various bands and vaguely Wiccan looking alchemical circles commonplace. She talks with no trace of a Hindi accent, having clearly been in London long enough to pick up the Estuary English accent  of many locals.
