Nadina Evans

**Nadina Evans** is Michael's wife and mother of Matthew and Nikki in the Blue Fighters trilogy. She unfortunately died at the hands of Narim during the Second Archenoe War. Not much is known about her, but what is revealed to us is that she was a loving wife and mother to her children, willing to do anything for them.

## Biography

### Early Life

Not much is known about Nadina's early life, though she was born around **1802**, as she and Michael are around the same age. Her parents and siblings are unknown, though she is presumed to be an only child. Her relationships presided mostly in her girl friends and, of course, her best friend **Nate Reynolds**. She also did not meet Michael until high school.

### F.A.A.S. Membership

Like her husband, Nadina Matthews was a Normal, and therefore was never a member of the F.A.A.S. Thankfully, of course, because she would be devastated if she had known who was behind the War and, even more devastating, who kidnapped her newborn daughter.

### Nadina and Michael

Nadina met Michael in high school, and the two began a relationship. Though Michael was somewhat of a bully to Nadina's friends, especially Nate, she chose to be with him because she saw the good in him. It paid off; the two married soon after graduation and began their small family, oblivious to the War going on.

### Nadina and Nikki

It is often said that Nikki looks almost exactly like her mother, though the two share common mannerisms as well. Nadina is the primary parent figure in Nikki's life upon her return, and encourages her daughter to embrace her inner feminist and take charge of her life. They are very close, and Nikki is greatly saddened by both her and Michael's deaths.

### The Second Archenoe War

Nadina is unaware of the Second Archenoe War, as she is a Normal, but she does take heed of warnings from the Williams family, and they take the proper precautions to ensure their children's safety. Nikki does have to lie to them to be able to work for Alice Davis and the F.A.A.S., but they allow her to, understanding that there is something bigger at work here. Matthew is the most protected of the two, though they all eventually have their lives taken away from them. Nikki mourns their deaths greatly after they are gone, and never really returns to normal.

## Relationships

### Michael Evans

**Michael Evans** was Nadina's husband. The two met and fell in love in high school, staying strong through graduation, and married soon after, having Matthew and Nikki. They are a very good couple, talking through and working out their problems, and taking every measure to make sure their children are safe. However, due to certain events in their high school years, Nadina was always somewhat reserved from her husband, as he was partially the reason Nate left them. Nadina misses her best friend greatly, and it impacts her relationship with Michael. However, they do love each other very much, and died together.

### Nate Reynolds

**Nate Reynolds** was Nadina's best friend in her high school years. Nate fell in love with her as they got to know each other, not knowing that Nadina already had a boyfriend, Michael Evans. Greatly jealous at this, Nate tried to get Nadina to fall in love with him instead, but he was unsuccessful. When forced to choose between them, Nadina chose Michael, not returning Nate's feelings of love. Heartbroken, Nate left, and later became the most fearsome Archenoe the world had ever seen. Nadina, however, was unaware of his fate, only knowing that he had left her, and she is deeply wounded, later affecting her relationship with Michael. Nate and Nadina were kindred spirits, and her son's middle name is Nate, after him.

### Matthew Evans

Nadina had a very good relationship with her son, partially because she believed he was the only child she had left, after Nikki was stolen. She gave him lots of motherly advice, especially on his relationship with Brianna, and the two were nearly inseparable. Matthew would be the first to admit he's his mother's son, as he is nearly the spitting image of her, and they are nearly the same person. If he had seen her death, it would wreck him almost completely. Nadina and her son loved each other very much.
