## Biography

### Background

Nadu was one of the youngest but best leaders that the Legion of Life ever had, being hugely popular, even with her rather short time in the legion. When she was younger, she unfortunately had to deal with a lot of sexist views from her peers, teachers, society, and even a bit from her father. Regardless, Nadu continued to train to be a fighter on her own, until she was approached by the leader of the Legion of Life who asked her to join. Nadu accepted a bit reluctantly, although she managed to climb the ranks fairly quickly, enough that when the leader died, he asked Nadu to fill in his role, where she became one of the most renowned people in all of Lijos and played one of the most direct and primary roles in holding off the Order of Magma.

## Physical Appearance

Nadu wears a blue shirt with brown pants. She has tan skin and brown hair and green eyes.

## Personality

Nadu is famous throughout Lijos for being known to have been the strongest commander of the Legion of Life in history, as she was able to hold off the army of the Order of Magma multiple times through her courage, bravery and determination. She is incredibly determined to be the first Legion of Life commander that is female, and ultimately succeeded, and was known for being perhaps the best commander in history.

Nadu is very welcoming to new soldiers, as she encouraged Dabsar, Chappal and Zian multiple times throughout their fight to get back Ezen and Pilin. She calls them young warriors, and tells them they truly have the heart of a warrior, whether or not they have the skill or strength of one.

Nadu believes greatly in Sven, and tells him that when she is dead, he must carry the mantle of commander of the Legion of Life. She goes into a speech about how death gives life meaning, and tells people that when they accomplish all they need to, they may rest in peace, knowing that others will be able to carry their mantle well, and that they will help protect their legacy. She welcomes death as a friend rather than as an enemy, showing honor and dignity.

Nadu was said by Sven to not be incredibly forgiving towards traitors, which isn't necessarily questionable considering what traitors usually do to the Order of Magma.

In the finale of the series (Lijos II) or the penultimate episode, whatever you want to call it, Nadu is mentioned by all the Legion of Life soldiers to encourage Sven, the new Legion of Life commander, that the reason Nadu succeeded is not because she was a natural leader, but she because she refused to give up, even when times were bleakest, and even when she did sought a solution: to appoint Sven to be Legion of Life commander. This inspires Sven to fight The Void and to not give in, even if they were likely to fail.
