Personal history
"What a worthless creature. She'll never amount to anything."
Over the following years, Nathxena played the part of a dutiful young female drow. She followed the instructions of the priestesses, her mother, and her matron, as distasteful as they were, and they never suspected a thing. Over time, however, she managed to grow distant from House Fey-Branche. She was able to leave the city of her own accord more frequently and for longer periods of time, and, eventually, was able to break ties with her House permanently. She drifted about the Underdark and occasionally the surface, acting as a scout-for-hire. It was during one of these trips to the surface that she met the half-elf Sariel Liadon, and was convinced to join up with the Ardent.
Following the events involving the Ardent in late 1493-early 1494 DR, Nathxena, Sariel Liadon, and Valna Mellerelel formed the Arrowheads as an independent team within the Ardent. Nathxena has since gone on multiple missions to help slaves escape from Menzoberranzan.

History
"I know she's a thief, because she stole my heart."
Sariel and Nathxena met on 2 Uktar, 1492, in a tavern in Silverymoon. They quickly took a liking to each other, drinking and swapping stories. Nathxena was looking for a way out of Menzoberranzan, and Sariel was the first person the half-drow had ever felt she could trust. The next morning, Nathxena accepted Sariel's offer to join the Ardent.
The duo have been on multiple adventures, including getting a major criminal arrested by way of a fancy ball, surviving on a mystical island in the Feywild, and stopping the schemes of several giant lords. The two have become extremely close during these adventures, and rarely spend much time apart.
Nicknames & Petnames
Sariel's nicknames for Nathxena are usually just her name shorted to Nat or Xena. Nathxena's nicknames for Sariel are usually Sarry or Ell, also shortened forms of the latter's name.
Relationship Reasoning
While Sariel just liked Nathxena from the start, Nathxena found Sariel the first person she could really trust and open up with. While the two find each other very attractive, it's this unique trust and openness that Nathxena has with Sariel that really draws them together. This is compounded by the fact that Sariel was the first person to offer Nathxena a safe place to live and an exciting job. Over time, their shared experiences and hardhsips adventuring have forged an incredibly tight bond between the two.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
The two have a large number of similarities and shared interests. They share general goals of justice and freedom, as well as defeating various threats to the Sword Coast. Their strengths are also similar - acrobatics, skill at stealth, archery, persuasive talent, and attractiveness. Further, their weaknesses are aligned as well - a lack of physical strength, and both have a tendency to fall for a pretty face. They both share hobbies, such as rock climbing, archery, theft, sneaking where they shouldn't be, running on city roofs, and sharing a drink at the tavern.
Shared Acquaintances
Both Sariel and Nathxena are members of the Ardent, and both know most of the adventurers and staff in it. They both share a friend in Valna Mellerelel, who is a member of the Arrowheads. Both of the half-elves are also close friends with the young bronze dragon Zelifarn, regularly going on adventures together. Both are co-owners of The Bronze Dragon, and personally know all the employees well.
History
Nathxena was brought to Aial's attention when they were introduced by their mutual friend, Sariel Liadon. After a brief introduction period, Aial offered Nathxena the position of Chief Scout in his newly formed Ardent mercenary company. Nathxnea's actions were vital during the conflict with House Helvirae, and Aial came to greatly respect her.
Following the establishment of the Arrowheads, Nathxena and Aial see each other far less than they used to. Despite this, they still have a mutual respect for each other.
History
Valna and Nathxena met as part of the Ardent. They remained acquaintances for many months, until Sariel Liadon invited the latter to archery practice with the former. Since then, Nathxena has been training Valna is several roguish techniques she has learned. In early 1494 DR, Valna, Nathxena, and Sariel formed the Arrowheads, and now often spend time adventuring together.
Nicknames & Petnames
Valna and Nathxena do not use nicknames for each other. They always refer to each other by their full first names.
Relationship Reasoning
Nathxena enjoys Valna's company due to her high competency, and the fact that Valna is the most genuinely nice person that Nathxena knows. Even though Nathxena doesn't have much tolerance for naivety, she makes an exception for Valna. Valna on the other hand simply enjoys being around Nathxena, who she considers fun to talk to and do activities with.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Valna and Nathxena share a strong love of archery and the outdoors. They also enjoy reading, especially about survivalism and explorers, as well as going on hiking and camping trips together.

Valna and Nathxena also maintain contact with the other former members of Beta Team, especially Altin Mellerelel, Valna's brother.

Since Emilia's joining, her and Nathxena have been on numerous adventures together - usually with others, but sometimes just the two of them.
Nicknames & Petnames
Nathxena often refers to Emilia as "Em". While Emilia usually prefers to refer to everyone by their full first name, when she is either very very casual or very very flustered she may refer to Nathxena as simply 'Xena'.
Relationship Reasoning
The basis of Emilia's and Nathxena's relationship is built on the foundation of the Arrowheads. While they didn't get along at first, them constantly talking to each other over the course of several months and Emilia discovering Nathxena's more intellectual hobbies has deepened their relationship a surprising amount.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
While Nathxena has some innate drow magic, she and Emilia often bond of the fact that they are the only two members of the Arrowheads not trained in magic.
