Personal Information

Appearance

Nephilim appears slightly younger than she is, around 28 perhaps. She stands at 172cm tall, and weighs in at 58kg. She is a lithe young woman and if not for her incredible intellect and exceptional surgical skills, she would make the perfect trophy wife. She has dark blond hair that she sometimes dyes very blond or dark brown.

Nimbus

The world becomes softer and more gentle. Angel wings appear on her back while a halo appears above her head. Nephilim radiates warmth while a faint heavenly choir of indistinct sound can be heard softly in the distance.

Personality

Gentle, friendly, and kind, Nephilim truly just wants what is best for the world. She became a doctor to help people, and a surgeon because she loved the fast pace, life-saving work she does.

Nephilim and Panda

Quotes by

"I'm a surgeon, I took a Hippocratic oath and I save lives any way I can. But don't assume that I need anaesthesia to knock you out."

- when underestimated by others.

" PANDA! Stop getting blood on the couch, you're ruining the furniture!"

- a common complaint to her husband.

Quotes about

"The pair of them have the kind of relationship I always dreamed of, as a kid. A modern fairytale."

- Janice, on Launceston's power couple.

"GG can assemble a person quicker than anyone could disassemble them"

- Rifling

"Does she Hate me because I like her Friend? Or does she Hate me because I'm Free Council? Its hard to tell with the Guardians they are all wankers in some way"

- Invar

"Most of my friends are men. Maybe that comes from my time in the Army. One may assume that i'm friends with Nephilim because she's the wife of my good friend, but that does not come close to the truth. Yes, im close to Panda, we have much in common, and I could not ask for a better Arrow to have my back. But when the demons come calling, or when I need that kind of company that only a girls night can provide, Nephilim is there to feed my belly and my soul."

- Circe

"Nephi? Ummm.... jeez, what can I possibly say about Nephi? She's, she's really great ya know. Patched me up more times than I deserve, and is always really nice and kind and caring to me... She's... she kinda reminds me of what it was like to have a mum."

- Medea

"My Wife, My Love, My greatest achievement. We awoke together. It was our wedding day. not often you get to watch the most beautiful woman, your future wife walk down the Aisle to a literal chorus of angels."

- Big Panda

"Sometimes I feel sorry for Big Panda"

- Sol

Conversations

Nephilim: "I have a patient presenting PTSD symptoms but I am a surgeon, not a psychologist. A young male possibly."
Astraeus: "Speak to his family?"
Nephilim: "In the four months I've seen him around, he's not once been with family, and he will not speak of them. He has isolated himself and when a woman came along, he clung so tight to her for support, perhaps too tightly."
Astraeus: "I think that talking to him will help. It will take time if he has been dealing with it by himself for a long time."
Nephilim: "Indeed. We can't save everyone."
Astraeus: "You are a good doctor Nephilim, you can save the boy."
Nephilim: "Yes I can. After all, we wouldn't want him winding up like you have, would we Doctor Quinn?"

- Nephilim using an analogy on a rather drunk Astraeus.

Soundtrack

• The Cab - Angel With A Shotgun - Big Panda: Get out your guns, battle's begun, are you a saint or a sinner, if love's a fight then I shall die, with my heart on a trigger, they say before you start a war, you better know what you're fighting for, well, baby, you are all that I adore, if love is what you need, a soldier I will be. Sometimes to win, you've got to sin, don't mean I'm not a believer.
• Florrie - Real Love - Her and Big Panda: I can't pin you down, you're like catching open air, you make me laugh out loud, lying in your underwear, on your leather couch, I just wanna keep you there. If this is real love, beating like a thousand drums love, feel you running through my veins love, you're the only one I want.
• The Chainsmokers - Something Just Like This - Her and Big Panda: But she said, where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk, I'm not looking for somebody, with some superhuman gifts, some superhero, some fairytale bliss, Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss, I want something just like this.
• The Turtles - So Happy Together - Big Panda for her: Imagine me and you, I do, I think about you day and night, it's only right, to think about the girl you love and hold her tight, so happy together, I can't see me lovin' nobody but you, for all my life, when you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue, for all my life, ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, me and you and you and me, no matter how they toss the dice, it had to be, the only one for me is you, and you for me, so happy together.
• Train - I Will Remember - Astraeus and Medea's relationship: Did you ever do drugs, it's like love, have you ever done love, it's like a drug, it'll mess you up good, mess you up bad, make you fall harder than you ever had, did you ever get dumped, by somebody that you thought was the one, but somebody told you that you're not the one for them, and then your friends all say, they've been cheating on you anyway. Did you give it all you got, 'til your heart went snap, crackle, pop? Did you ever get drunk because of love, did it put you in a funk when it was over, did it pick you up high, knock you down low, did it make you wish hard that you didn't know? If you're up, if you're down, if you're lost, if you're found, just remember that we're bound to love.
