{Appearance & Personality}
-Personality Traits-
Alignment: A Happy Chaotic Good
EnergeticNina is a very happy and friendly person. She is often full of energy and quite exuberant. She’s easily hyped up and made full of energy at any interesting prospect. She is rarely anything but jovial to anyone on first meeting more than happy to chatter needlessly with anyone. As a ball of energy she just enjoys living and shows it in her step and demeanor.
EasygoingNina has few cares in the world, she isn’t bothered by much that goes on before her. Her personality is relaxed in the sense that she’s flexible to the changes in the world. She doesn’t stand and try to resist the flow of the world she slides into the stream and follows its path.
IndelicateNina has little care for her own self image or the feelings of others. She simply does as she wishes indeterminate of such troubles. This can lead to her lacking sensitivity in situations when others are downtrodden or triggered or something. This extends to how she dresses and thus she can be found in all sorts of clothing from the most revealing to rather unaesthetic almost military-focused gear.
Impulsively SillyNina has a quick thinking mind though it’s choices may not always be the best. Her favorite types of impulsivity are of the silly kind, she acts out of an amusing idea as it hits her head. Ideas come to her fast and she jumps at them in an instant. The only issue with her silly acts is her sense of humor is strange by the deduction of most of her friends.
Unfortunately NoneNina is a wholly fearless girl. She can stand before the gruesome and horrifying without batting an eye. Her lack of fear often gets her into trouble as she doesn’t get any hesitation in the face of overwhelming odds or the like. It has made her someone who simply moves forward irrespective of the world around her.

AppearanceNina has a strong presence even with her medium stature. She is jubilant and can light up a room with a smile. Her naturally happy emotions flow out and can be quite infectious at times. It flows through her step and other actions as she buoyantly bounces about. Often found with a smile upon her face and a glint in her eye, her mouth widening greatly to let out chirpy laughter.
Nina is neither chubby nor thin. Her bones for the most part don’t show below her skin. She has a light purple hair that rolls down to her back. Her bangs hang about her eyes sometimes obscuring a single eye but normally simply looking like random tufts of hair about her face. Upon her face is often written a toothy grin happily excited about whatever is going on. Everything is backed on a her tanning skin from spending way too much time outdoors.
Nina clothes herself in whatever she wants given her lacking aesthetic ideals. She’s worn everything from a bikini to a full set of sweats. Her most common wear however is an olive colored cargo jacket. Full of pockets it is often loaded with random knick knacks that and rolls of ammo. Beneath it is often a thin white tee barely think enough to stay semi-opaque. She has a preference for short shorts or on occasion a skirt also of a shorter demeanor. She enjoys the freedom such clothes provide She uses black holsters for her guns, a pair strapped to the back of her waist rather than at her sides.

Non-Combat Skills
TrackerNina specializes in hunting down large animals and perhaps other creatures. She is an established tracker good at noticing the small signs left by those moving through the undergrowth. She has some skill at transferring this to tracking humans though it’s not quite as refined as her usual ability to find her prey when she’s searching for it.
CookingNina is an okay cook, nothing to speak greatly about. She has a preference for making simply meat and potato type foods. Most of her ‘specialty’ dishes simply having her throwing innumerable ingredients into a pot and letting them stew together until they hit an appetizing consistency.
Combat Skills
Inhuman Endurance - Human Trait #1Nina has tracked all sorts of large creatures of the world through jungle, desert, and the like. Such requires large amounts of stamina to keep up with them over hardy terrains for miles and miles. She has thus trained herself to keep going for much longer than one would expect a human to go.
Uncanny Accuracy - Human Trait #2Nina is an excellent shot, at short to medium range she can easily hit a beri piece thrown into the air right in the center. At farther ranges she tends to be limited by her choice of weaponry. Wind, rain, thunderstorm, she accounts for it all naturally. Her and the handgun were simply meant to be.-Fighting Styles-
Two Step
E-Rank Pistol Combat0 X-Poinz
Nina’s combat style specializes in short-medium range combat. She uses short abrupt movements to dart about her opponents. She is a good shot with a pistol though at long range she is limited by the quality of her weapons.
Aspects
WeaponPistols (x2)
Rank 1 Pistol - 100 X-Poinz (50 X-Poinz)A pair of pistols with magazine loading near the top. They have an extra slice of metal latched onto the top of the barrel so it can be used better for deflecting weapons in close combat. She uses mostly lead balls for ammunition, but also has some tranquilizer shot, and steel-pointed ammunition.
TechniquesTranq Shot
Rank 1 Technique - 50 X-PoinzInstead of firing a normal round she fires a tranquilizer shot. These are made for taking down the monsters that inhabit the blues. So be careful, if hitting a human they may knock them out for up to a day depending on constitution. Of course it'll also take a little while to take effect depending on how large you are.
Steel-Tipped Ammo
Rank 1 Technique - 50 X-PoinzA shot with a steel tip to it, this has increased penetrative abilities, able to go straight through wood and going decently well through stone. Nina doesn't have many of these.

{History}
Youth (0-10)Nina was born on Pirate’s Market in the South Blue by her mother, Lyla Volk, a retired pirate who set up shop as a small restaurant in a decent sector. She grew up with only her mother as her father had left before she was even born. She grew up enjoying the raucous liberal beliefs and the mixing pot of peoples who lived on the island. From youth working as a server at her mother’s restaurant she made friendly with all types. Her mother was her role model in youth, watching how she stood up to the more rowdy customers. Her strength and her own capability to protect their household was something of an icon to Nina who otherwise had no other certainties in her life.
As a young girl she grew up with the unruly, and illicit, her mom not being much at holding her tongue either. In secret when she saw her mom fighting off those who tried to mess with their home Nina memorized her mother’s fighting style. She tried to ren-enact moves to the best of her ability which was not often much. But once discovered by her mother, her mother laughed and decided to train her. The thought being that if she was going to learn to fight she’d best learn to fight correctly.
Growth (11-19)After some time her mother fell in love with another man. He joined her mom and Nina at the restaurant and thus the trio became a family again. The man, by the name of Orgo Mik was formerly a black market hunter in the Grand Line where he tracked down rare materials coveted by those he worked for. In his retirement he worked as a second hand in the kitchen with Lyla. The pair of them were very happy with each other and Orgo was quite the doting elder for Nina so she minded him not at all. At times he’d take her out on trips even. They would go out together to practice shooting, he taught her the use of rifles, shotguns, and pistols all the like working with her to improve her somewhat questionable aim. She made such trips at least once a year if not twice. Though not much more than that for the sake of not leaving her mother alone at the restaurant.
On the restaurant front she made little progress. She was a good enough waiter at times but she had no where close to enough skills or talent to make it as a cook. But she continued on, she continued to wait on folk and the like for many a year as she grew up. Love of family and lack of purpose kept her at the restaurant that she called home. With not much else to do she committed herself to her tracking training with Orgo. During time off they’d play ‘tag’ in the streets of Pirate’s Market, she learned to hunt birds that flew over the island. She learned multiple lessons about surviving on her own and in the wild. Orgo groomed her in his own way for what he believed she had the best chance of a future in.
Departure (20)Nina’s final decision to leave was her own. After being talked to by both Lyla and Orgo about what she was planning for her future she decided almost immediately. She decided to leave almost instantly, excited to start a new life she was happy to take her leave. She within a few days booked passage to another island. Her mom sad about her leaving but understanding left her with a pair of her pistols. Orga gave her a letter of introduction if she ever wanted to find his old black market group and join them. There final goodbye was simple and touching for the trio.
