Nia is essentially the physical embodiment of optimism and trust. She is an incredibly cheerful and sweet young girl who has everyone’s best interest in mind. She does what she can to help others and to make them happy, even if it can sometimes backfire and end up hurting them. Despite that, she always has good intentions, and never seeks out to hurt others in any way (the only exception being Guame, who she slapped in a moment of horror and disgust). She reacts sweetly and politely to pretty much any person. It seems that unless a person is trying to hurt her or is screaming at her, she will most likely react with a smile on her face, she is just that kind of person. She sees the best in others, and views practically any situation in an optimistic way.
She comes from a very sheltered life, being kept away from the outside world and only taught specific things. Because of this, she is extremely naïve. Even after her time with Team Dai-Gurren, there is still much she doesn’t know about the world or the people in it, and it is evident by the many questions she can ask. From certain items and customs to phrases and speech, there are many things she still hasn’t learned. She even has a hard time picking up on certain tones unless they are 100% obvious. That being said, she loves to talk to others and learn about these unknown aspects of life, and doesn’t seem to be too scared of the unknown. In fact, during her first moments out of the palace, she encounters a very menacing gunman, but she doesn’t seem very scared of it, even after Simon’s panicked reaction.
A great trait to couple with her amazing naivety is her incredible ability to trust practically anyone. She puts huge amounts of faith into people, and sometimes it can backfire on her. Before being cast out of the Palace, Nia trusted those she came into contact with, but especially her father. She later admits that her father was pretty much “her entire life”, but he only ended up hurting her. As time goes on, though, she makes better judgment calls with Team Dai-Gurren. While Simon is the one she trusts the most, she also places her safety in the hands of others, Yoko being another major case. As she aimed a rifle at Nia’s head, Nia knew to trust her and her skills as an expert, even with bullets passing just inches from her ears. She has an unshakeable belief in her friends, and trusts them with every fiber of her being. Whether it is with lethal weapons pointed at her, being pulled to the bottom of the ocean, or laid beaten in the dirt, she has no trouble being calm in the face of danger, because she knows she can count on her friends to pull through.
She can be very brave, and also very reckless. She does not hesitate to jump into the fray if she feels it is necessary, going out on her own to confront the hell bent Adiane not only once, but twice. She also put herself in danger by going with Simon to confront Lordgenome, but her desire to confront her father seemed to put any fear away. Her bravery can also be connected to her trust. As she was confronted by Guame with a gun pushed to her face, she sternly spoke of her trust in Simon without a single quiver in her voice. There were times when she knew she could not go out herself, but quick and witty thinking allowed her to help out as much as she could, and she used such thinking to save countless lives during a battle with Guame, using a large projection system to put “herself” on the front lines and ask people to calm themselves as people were blindly running into a death trap.
If Team Dai-Gurren had a cheerleader, Nia would be it. She loves her friends and will fight with and for them until her very last breath, all with a smile on her face.
Abilities/Powers: While (spoilers) Nia is actually a Very Important Person with Very Important Powers, said powers are not yet a thing. Nia currently has no supernatural abilities.
Items/Weapons: Her Team Dai Gurren hoodie, and a green gem given to her by Simon.
