PLACEHOLDER IMAGE FOR NINA

***“Yes. Months that i can use. Months we can use. We will win next time. We will defy the odds and come out on top!”***

* Duce Nero, in reference to their loss during the Sensha-Do tournament

## Profile

Nina, often called Nero, is the overall commander of Anzio’s Sensha-do team. She operates a P40 medium tank. She has a very wide skill set, although she isn’t good at most parts of it. Despite losing contact with her biological family, other than her sister Selene, she has become part of an amazing family at Anzio.

She is determined to make Anzio win the next Sensha-do tournament at all costs.

## Appearance

Nina has short and messy brown hair, that she previously styled in a side braid when it was longer, and green eyes. She has lightly tanned skin, inherited from her father.

With her Anzio uniforms she often wears a golden olive leaf crown and a purple cape to emphasise her position as commander. On her finger she wears a replica of The one ring from Lord of the rings. Most of the time when in uniform, Nina carries a sheathed Roman spatha sword at her side, which was found in the collection of stuff her parents intended to give her one day.

## Personality

Nina has two personalities that she uses with different people.

One is a strong and confident facade she uses when on official school duties and when commanding Anzio’s Sensha-do team. Even when like this, she still is a kind person.

The other is her true, more weak and vulnerable personality she has when around the people she loves and around some of her close friends. Due to the fact her parents were barely present during her childhood, when she finds someone that loves her, she attaches to them and doesn’t want to leave even if it could negatively affect her.

## Background

### Childhood/ time in Italy

When Nina was very young, her parents were around to take care of her, but when she was old enough to start taking care of herself, she was left on her own more often, until one day they just always left her alone. She had to take care of of sister Selene and help her grow up because their parents weren’t around. Due to Nina having to do all of this and deal with schoolwork she didn’t really have time for friends or hobbies, which made her incredibly lonely.

### Early years at Anzio

Her first year at Anzio was also her first full year in Japan, which meant that her communication skills were limited because of her lack of Japanese skills. This left her just as lonely as before, as she seemed distant to everyone else. She stayed quiet and ended up as the gunner on Anzio’s P40. During her second year she gathered a close group of friends, which was practically just her tank crew, which happened to include the Duce at the time, Anchovy. During the final part of her second year at Anzio, Anchovy suddenly left under mysterious circumstances which thrusted Nina into the position of leading Anzio, which she was completely unprepared for.

### (Pre-Reboot) Time as Duce of Anzio

Nina’s first big event as Duce was attending a Sensha-do convention alongside a few other schools. During this convention she formed a friendship, and soon romance, with Pravda’s vice commander, Nonna. On the second day of the convention, Kuromorimine seized control of St. Gloriana and a minor conflict erupted before all schools pulled out.

Soon after, Nina and a few of her students and friends pulled off a daring raid on Kuromorimine’s tank garages, stealing a Black Prince tank acquired from St. Gloriana before having to return it and having it lost at sea.

Soon after this and a short period of relaxing on Anzio’s schoolship, Nina and Nonna’s love became stronger, until one fateful day. The \*incident\* occurred. If you were in the Das Roleplay server at the time, you know what happened. For further information search Nonna X Nero in the NSFW rp channel on the Das Roleplay server.

Shortly after, she volunteered to go undercover to gather intelligence about the arrow cross hussars on the Balaton school ship. She spent an extended period of time undercover gathering intelligence until one day, near the start of the true civil war she met up with Selene, Eva and a few other friends from Kuromorimine. They left before it got too difficult.

Upon arrival to Anzio, Nina confessed her love to Nonna again, despite past events. They got together and then, the foundations of the Borovoy family, Darlene, Nonna, Nina and Alice were together again.

## Trivia

* She was formerly the gunner of Anzio’s P40, earning Anzio a win with a lucky long distance shot on an opposing flag tank during a storm.
* Salò, Nina’s birthplace, was the seat of government for the Italian Social Republic.
* On the rare occasion that Nina was taken on one of her parent’s business trips, a common destination was Austria, so she knows how to speak a small bit of German.
* Nina holds a grudge against Assam of St Gloriana girls college due to one of her first interactions on an inter-school group chat during her first year at Anzio was Assam being rude about Anzio and it’s Sensha-do team.
* Despite some of the past events between the two schools, Nina supports Kuromorimine in tournaments after Anzio is knocked out.
