A little something surrounding the relationship between Spike & Niah. I thought I'd share some more insight into Niah's peace-loving nature in comparison to Spike's tendencies to resort to violence when the situation calls for it. Yet, sometimes, it's all about the act of protecting ones who are dear to you, even if their choice of going about things might go against your beliefs in some way.

Niah tries to be a good girl.

Especially when she woke up in the future on Mars, she desired nothing but a clean slate as she was forced to begin a new life off earth. Niah was accustomed to trying to be an upstanding citizen throughout her life, presenting a ‘good’ image for her parents and other authoritative figures she’d come across. Unironically, her parents led her into a somewhat sheltered childhood, which eventually became an issue as she grew to develop her own independence. Even still, she wasn’t a person who started nor looked for trouble and did her best to obey all laws set in place (the ones that mattered anyway), even for a corrupt climate such as Mars where the superior authorities just barely exercised their power for the good of the people as they, instead, inflated their own self-interests at the expense of others.

Funnily enough, this exceedingly good, lawful image would come into question when she met Spike Spiegel, a bounty hunter who fell into her life on the pavement one silent night. Being placed in an interesting arrangement with an eccentric man whose past was shrouded in mystery, she had plenty of time to observe his…questionable activities as a licensed bounty hunter. With his code of conduct and moral compass revealing to be a tint darker against her own light, Niah continuously finds herself contrasting against his own views that seems drenched with apathy and violent ferocity, attributes the young woman noticed he keeps subdued underneath a mask of coolness.

Yet, along the way, she sometime wonders how Spike managed to sink his roots beneath her skin, slither through her veins and straight into where her hearts quicken its beat whenever he inches a tad closer. Shoulder to shoulder. His rugged fingers uncharacteristically soft when hands meet hers.

How his right eye squints as he aims that deadly Jericho with her in view, and shoots a bullet inscribed with his name on it. Niah isn't fond of guns due to the type of harm they do. But she realizes the weapon that rests at his hip is used honorably, used to protect her. Save her. Spike can pull the trigger when she lacks the heart too.

He’ll do the dirty work to protect her. Take the fall for her. At least for the sake of her good image.
