An ordinary archer practices until he gets it right. A ranger practices until he never gets it wrong.
— John Flanagan
Nilnas was born, and bred through the Silver Rain Republic. His father, a human named Ashton, and his mother, an elf named Shalendra, met during an expedition. Due to his half-blood heritage he never fit in with either side of the races in the Republic. Both sides would always dismiss him as a "half-breed". This made Nilnas avoid forming relationships with other people from his tribe. Instead, he learned to pick up the bow, and learned to master the art of Archery. His passion for Archery, to perfect it, is never fully satisfied. His fingers calloused from days of practice in boughs, cracked and bleeding. He refused to let a single arrow go to waste.
