About
When Nina was a young girl, both of her parents died in a car accident. She then lived with her Gran in America. She received a scholarship to Anubis House in England. In this boarding school, she shares a room with Amber after Amber got into a fight with Mara, although at first she originally shared a room with Patricia.

She comes across as a kind, smart, and forgiving person, as she forgave Patricia as soon as she apologized. She has a necklace that resembles the Eye of Horus and has a picture of a girl that Fabian and Sarah think looks exactly like her. She is also a member of Sibuna, founded by herself, Fabian and Amber. In the Season One finale, Nina is revealed to be the Chosen One (Season One Finale), not Joy Mercer, as the Secret Society originally believed. Being the Chosen One means that Nina is descended from Amneris, a figure in Egyptian mythology. It also means she is the only one who can reassemble The Cup of Ankh at the Chosen Hour, as Nina could successfully assemble the cup while Joy could not (This can only happen once every 25 years). The legend of the cup also stated that the Chosen One would be born on the seventh hour of the seventh day in the seventh month. Both Nina and Joy were born on July 7, which is why Joy was initially thought to be the Chosen One. However, Joy was born at 7:00 p.m., which is the nineteenth hour, not the seventh. Nina was born at 7:00 a.m, which is the seventh hour.

For some reason, Sarah Frobisher-Smythe, or "Emily" as some people call her, knows Nina's name without Nina mentioning it to her; this might be due to the fact that Sarah identifies Nina as the Chosen One almost as soon as she met her. In the Sibuna Fire of Sacrifice, she throws in her lucky mascot. She is one of the seven acolytes that would have been sacrificed in order for the Society of Ankh to gain immortality. She and Fabian share their first kiss at a prom that Mara (as school representative) and Amber organize for the end of term (also known as "End-of-term Prom"); Nina and Fabian are chosen Prom Queen and King by Amber.

In House of Strategy/ House of Memory, Nina learns that she has a counter part like ying and yang and the sun and moon. It is rumored that Fabian is her counter part, but Senkarah thinks it Eddie because he can see her without giving him the mark.



Fabian Rutter
(2011-present; Boyfriend, Best Friend, Crush, Admirer)

Fabian was the first person to be nice to Nina when she arrived at the house. They always sneak out together to try to figure out the mystery of the house, sometimes along with Amber to begin with but it later becomes a more group thing. Fabian offered his robe to her in the fourth episode when she was cold. It has been written in Nina's diary that she thinks Fabian is "geek-chic" and he's sweet. It is always hinted that in season one that they like each other more than friends and Amber called them "Romeo and Juliet". She and Fabian go to prom together after he finally asks her without being interupted. She has kissed Fabian on the cheek in House of Hazards/House of Charades and in the season one finale and she claims she loves him, and they finally kiss after being crowned prom king and queen. Nick confirmed that they are dating in season two. However, they break up early on in the season due to preferring being best friends, but they both regret the break up. When Fabian tells her he wants to get back together, she falls asleep. They both dream about kissing at the masked ball. At the real masked ball, Fabian kisses Joy, believing her to be Nina and Nina sees, running off in tears. They seem to have returned to being best friends, but still have feelings for each other.This could lead to a possible relationship in upcoming episodes. At the end of the final episode, they share a dance with the song "Perfect Day" (same song they dance at prom) They get back together and they share a kiss. (See Fabina)

Patricia Williamson
(2011-present; Close Friend)

Patricia hated Nina in the first few episodes, she even poured water all over Nina, but it was because she thought she had replaced her best friend, Joy as her roommate. She bullied her because of this. Patricia tricked Nina into the attic, and then locked her in after saying it was an "initiation". As the season progresses, Patricia throws out the hostility she has towards Nina and has become one of Nina's closest friends. Patricia apologizes to Nina in an attempt to trick her into giving up her locket to a private investigtor, or so she thinks. Patricia, after seeing her source Rufus being kidnapped with Nina, comes to accept that Nina's innocent. When Patricia gets Rufus back, Nina's the person she phones. During Joy's disappearance, they acted like best friends. Their friendship even got to the point that she consoled Nina when she thought Fabian was going to ask Patricia to prom. In season two, due to Joy's return, they have grown apart again, but Patricia still tells Joy it was wrong to kiss Fabian when Nina obviously still likes him, showing she may still think of Nina as one of her closest friends.
