Her name means 'night' and she is the Roman personification of the night.
She was the Roman goddess of night. She is also Nyx in Greek mythology.
She seems to be just the night, neither bad nor good.
=i be not zo shur, but i tink her roman name is nox! : D=
Nox, also known as Nyx, was the Roman God of Night.
Nox.
proserpine/proserpina was the roman goddess of the underworld
'Nox', in Latin, means 'night'. It used in the Harry Potter series; lumos produces light, nox shuts it off.
The symbol for the Greek goddess Nyx was a crescent moon or a star. If you want to read some fantasy books containing Nyx, then I recommend The House of Night series (random recommendation there.)
"Question should read 'who' not 'what' and the answer is Nyx" Don't be so cocky if you're going to get the answer wrong. Nyx is the greek goddess of the night. The roman one is Nox. And the 'who' and 'what' depends on if you believe it was an actual existing person or not. Seeing as they were really just fictituous personalities represented by idols or the like then the preface 'What' is perfectly acceptable.
