My first attempt tonight was to use PixaiDiffusion(CG) to make a male character... but it did not work. So, I decided to continue my list with another of Volkram's seven Homunculi, Naksha.

Her name has two meanings, one of them being rather... grim.
- In Indian culture, girls given the name 'Nakusha' are usually ones that the family leave behind, the name itself meaning "unwanted".
- However, in other Asian cultures, the word 'naqsha' means 'map, blueprint, drawing, or model.

Given that Naksha was the first Homunculi and the closest to Karyana's physique, I feel like the latter makes more sense. However, she was given an elvish "family name" - Eluhin - meaning 'Child', which was meant to be a direct insult towards Karyana, due to a legend that "The first cry of the Unwanted Child will bring forth the end of Medierth."

Naksha was created to be an assassin, with her memories being segmented so that she would remain child-like and innocent while with Volkram - who considered her his favorite -, but an unflinching hunter and cold killer when tasked to take out Volkram's targets. However, after a failed attempt to pass as Karyana to attack Demyan, Dawn and Asha, plus meeting the actual Karyana at Shardfall, the mental "compartments" fractured, causing her mind to break down. It was only thanks to Karyana's lupine self - Ruby - that Naksha survived. Afterwards, Naksha took the name 'Ruby' and became attached to Karyana, seeing her as her mother, going so far as to turn against the other Homunculi and shield Karyana from a mortal blow from another of the seven, ending her "sister" Anthra in a mutual kill.

In "Remembered Eternity", while the original Ruby was reborn, Naksha will appear in Gon'an with the other Homunculi, but will still remember Karyana as her "mother".
