Hello there. The name's Sheep Savior, but refer to me as Savior if anything.
First off, I usually don't like dwelling into the nyoverse because of just how many head shakes I have to offer, but this site seemed promising, considering how many good sheets and posts I've seen with the canon characters. I must commend the staff for having such excellent quality control and for attracting such a wide array of talents. I was skeptical at first. "NyoRomania? Those usually suck." However, you did we'll beyond sucking. You built a character that could actually fare well with the canon characters. Personally, I always liked Romania as a female due to the potential you could have with a Hungary.
The character design was obviously well thought out. You didn't just genderbend the original design. You did what Himaruya did and imagined the character as if you we're intending to draw a female in the first place. The contrast between Nicoleta and Elizabeta was thought out, I'll assume, and it wasn't simply just drawing a character out randomly. Also, tangent, your art is nice, even if some other things in your gallery were... Eyeopening. Ballerino.
There is a clear amount of research done on Romania and the people's mannerisms. A beautiful amount. Of course, I am glad you were able to salvage some of the qualities of the original Romania (and might I say the male Romania here is of top quality) and twist them into a feminine direction. Which many Nyos fail to do.
So all there is to say is good job and keep up the good work. My critique... Well everyone wants constructive criticism, yes? I'd like to see a bit more of the oppressed side of this character, given how Romania was under an oppressed state of mind at one point. I'd like to see more of a fight, a fight from within.
Keep this up, my faith in the nyoverse might be restored. Even if I'm not sure how much I like some of the other Nyos on this site, I happen to like some of them and you're heading in a good direction.

Hello Savior!
Goodness, I thank you so much for such a thoughtful criticism. I was overjoyed that somebody managed to notice the contrast between Nicoleta and Elizabeta. With that said, your observations are correct; I wanted to create a character that could foil Hungary's characteristics and appearance. A strong character like Elizaveta deserved an equally 'strong' rival but with enough differences to set them apart. With that said, I am very pleased and happy that my research on Romania has been acknowledged. I will try my best to bring out that 'oppressed' state of mind more into the open(it is there, though it is rather subtle due to her nature). I hope I won't be letting anyone down. Again, thank you for taking your time with such detailed explanations and suggestions! uvu <3

Remember when we said we were going to do these like one month ago? ANYWAY it's probably about due time I came here and paid Nico my respects lol.
I've never RPed with a nyo!Ro and honestly I was kind of skeptical at first. I'm so picky with muses/countries, especially muses/countries that I also muse, BUT I'M GLAD TO SAY writing with you over the course of a couple of years has managed to dispel those biases. Your characterization of her is splendid and I love the way you balance out snark, humor, seriousness. She's so wonderfully complicated and corrupted and debauched but that's not all there is to her either. It could even be said that she hopes to be saved in some way (isn't that what all the romantics and poetry-readers want?). I mean, really, it's more than tragic in some ways.
Critique? Hm. The only thing I can think to mention is more of a thing involving plotting/storytelling than characterization (and probably more of a personal preference than anything? Idk). I wish that, for all the awful things Nico has done and might have done, that she has something to show for it. Be it guilt (unless killing for self-defense or in delusion, kind of hard to imagine no guilt whatsoever unless you're neurologically inhibited from it) or a cosmic comeuppance or having it negatively affect her relationships (especially with a civilian who's never dabbled in the dark side before). But I don't know everything you have in your background or all your plots in the future yet, so this could very well not apply.
Buuut, in conclusion, I think you've come up with a wonderful character who's super enjoyable to interact with, and honestly I feel pretty happy with RPing with a nyo!Ro I don't find clichéd or just plain bland. It's also really, really fun to plot with you, especially considering the muses we have, because MAN, all the shenanigans and the trouble. They're gonna fucking tear London down, ok. I'm really, really happy to get to have fun with Nico on here and in other forums, you write her beautifully and our muses just mesh so well. I hope you stick around and RP with us for a long, long time more. <3
