"My mom says I was born with a needle in my hand," Nyx says. By the age of 13, she was working as an assistant to her mother in Lancaster, and a few years later became an assistant costumer for the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. That job was closer to her own interests than the one that has taken over her life - while she has learned to love some aspects of wrestling, Nyx has a passion for the Mythic Arts community, which includes the Pennsylvania Ren Faire (Saturdays and Sundays, Aug. 6 to Oct. 30, 2775 Lebanon Rd., Manheim, Pa., www.parenfaire.com) and the Spoutwood Farm Fairie Festival (April 29 to May 1, 4255 Pierceville Rd., Glen Rock, Pa., www.spoutwood.org). She has been involved for more than 15 years.
