Personality
This section has been marked as astub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Nina likes to imagine men in homosexual relationships, under the guise of "People Watching". This also results in her finding talking to boys difficult, as she tells all her potential mothers that she feels like a freak, as if the boy knows what she is thinking about him, presumably him being in a homosexual relation when he may not be. Even if she does end up saying a couple words, she then acts mean and creepy, definitely scaring the boy off. She does eventually conquer this fear of hers in her A support with her mother.
Nina also dislikes her father's views about stealing, claiming she steals to help others in need, and tells maleKana in their non-sibling B support that sometimes doing nothing is worse than stealing, and makes the excuse that her father was once a thief, and should presumably not get on her case about thievery.

Trivia

- In the NTSC English version ofFates there is a possibility for a female Nohrianprisoner unit to have the name "Nina", thus sharing names with this character. Units with generated names like this have sometimes had names from characters in other games, but this is the first instance of a generated character possibly sharing a name with a main player unit within the same game.
- Nina's critical cut-in portrait is missing her braids. This cannot be seen in normal gameplay due to the way critical cut-ins are displayed; large portions of the portrait are unseen due to electrical currents being overlayed.
