Nihya is a Vortian-Irken hybrid, spawned when two of the opposing species acted out what was considered to be forbidden and immoral. Not much yet is known about her.
Nihya apparently has no eyes at all, only two eyesockets. She has green skin and purple Vortian-like horns. Her head grows stringly braids of hair. Fairly tall and thin-limbed, she represents more of her Irken donor than her Vortian's side. Due to recessive genes, she is actually taller than her donors.
