User blog:Baluar/Nia

Nia is a young and skilled God Eater whose meteoric career is second only to that of her older twin (and best friend) Baluar. Still, in the latter's words, "I am only better ranked because I was in the right place, at the right time. Although that does nothing to prevent her from being a world-wide celebrity."

Biography
Nia was always a second to Baluar (in the good sense). Despite the fact that they were equal, she acts as a supporting character (who is nevertheless equal) to him. Nia was summoned alongside other high-ranked God Eaters to deal with an overly sized Ouroboros on Antarctica. When Baluar was alone fighting with the Ouroboros, Nia went running to him, and eventually was also contaminated with his Aragami intection, that also made her capable of morphing into a black-and-red huge humanoid Aragami. Eventually, she began to hear voices in her head like Baluar, and she joined his attempt in search of a cure. Over time, they managed to separate It from their bodies, but after defeating both Baluar and Nia, the Aragami revealed that he was the Ouroboros from Antarctica and he had planned everything up to that point. Afterwards, the monster tried to kill Nia, but even after being brutally beaten by It, Baluar entered berserk mode and he killed the beast with two strikes. Two years after these events, while out on a mission with her twin brother, Nia found herself trapped by   Dr. Rachel Claudius  and had to go incognito to hide her presence from everyone, since she had convinced everyone that she and Baluar had lost all control over their actions. This section will get expanded when the 2nd Arc finishes.

Appearance
Nia is easily recognizable due to her height: while she isn’t as tall as Baluar, she is nevertheless 200 cm tall, which makes her the second tallest person in FEB. Her body, while not as muscular as Baluar (obviously), is still noticeably toned. However, her body is more known for… ahem… its curves. Even given her larger scale when compared to average women, she still has the enviable measures of 100-74-93 cm.

Her face is very similar to Baluar’s (they are more similar than the average brother-and-sister), being rather average, with the differences that her eyes are black, and her hair is straight, much longer and she always has it tied (when untied, one can see that it goes down to almost her waist, which brings the inevitable question: “How the heck can she tie it so it hardly goes below her neck?”).

Her normal outfit is an average sniper outfit (tailored for her), which is doubly useful because she also uses it as her formal attire. She usually only buttons the middle button of the top, and wears no bra (don’t get this as an invitation, though; a guy attempted “it” once and spent a couple of months in the sick bay).

Personality
Nia's behavior when around people she's not acquainted of is quite silent and unnoticeable. When around friends however, her personality shifts a little bit and she becomes more talkative, although she only speaks all she thinks while she's in the presence of her brother. In regards of combat, she acts in a very similar way to her brother, bold enough to the point of being reckless sometimes. However, she also sometimes enjoys to attack with a swift strike the unprevented Aragami, and is also known to bring alongside her some traps to "make things easier", in her own words.

Nia is terribly prone to break things, to the point she once kicked a table as she walked, and broke its leg (it is worth noting that it was a solid wood table that was in an absolutely flawless state prior to that event. Again, this is taken from me). She may also appear as a selfish person for those who are not familiar with her. Those that claim that Baluar has a dark secret claim he shares it with her.

Equipment
Nia utilizes a similar load-out to that of her brother, albeit of a lesser quality (thing she is working to correct). She uses Wild Swd: Laoyang II, Ymir+ and Phalanx as her standard equipment. She has no element-specific equipment, and uses that aforementioned one on every mission she goes to perform.

Fighting style
Nia's style is very similar to that of Baluar: she's a melee fighter as well. However, unlike Baluar, who is a full-melee fighter, she also makes good use of traps and likes to sneak up to her opponent to strike it hard before it even gets the chance to react. The reason she prefers melee? "There's nothing like the feeling of Aragami flesh being cut with every swing of my sword."

Character relationships

 * Baluar: Her older twin. While they are very close, Nia does enjoy to make fun off him every now and then.
 * Robb: While they are friends, Robb has managed to exasperate Nia more than once in the battlefield.
 * Lili: Close friends. Lili often asks Nia for guidance on how to become better, and Nia is glad to give her help. Curiously enough, Lili is the only person (other than Baluar and Kota) in whose presence Nia jokes.
 * Daniel: Nia utterly hates his attitude, and Daniel managed to get to her bad side. Nia finds an evil pleasure in punching Daniel.
 * Kota Fujiki: Her boyfriend. They got together after she took his place in a few missions so he could go and see his family. One thing led to another and then, well, we get to the current day...
 * Alisa Illinichina Amiella: Close friends. While Nia isn't a woman of fashion, she does enjoy to look into a few catalogues with her.
 * Soma: A mutual respect relation. They don't interact much with each other.
 * Lindow Amamiya: Whenever they get together, they like to make fun off pretty much everyone else. Nia is admittedly the only woman ever to challenge him to a drinking contest, and actually provide him with a tough time.
 * Sakuya Tachibana: They are friends. Close friends. But... there's not much else to tell.
 * Nia goes quite unnoticed around everyone else.

NORN entry
Nia (20)

''Joined Fenrir Far East Branch in 2068. Transferred to Cradle in 2073.''

''A silent God Eater and second in command in Cradle. She shows high capability during missions, but since she isn't very interested on being a leader, she leaves that to her twin, Baluar, who is also a God Eater. Shows reckless tendencies that nevertheless do not prevent her from being a top-notch Aragami hunter and one of the highest-ranked God Eaters in history. Favors the use of traps.''
