Nika Nanaura

Nika is considered to have fallen into current events completely by accident. Although she is soon saved by Chuchu, who also becomes a mecha pilot.

## Personality

Nika is very kind and compassionate, often willing to accept new people and help them with any issues they face. She was the first student to greet Suletta upon her arrival at Asticassia and helped her get to first duel as soon as she asked, and she introduced her to the rest of the Earth House despite her being a Spacian.

Nika loves mecha and is very curious about Suletta's Gundam Aerial. She has outstanding maintenance skills, and is proud of herself for customizing Chuchu'sDemi Trainer.[1] She tends to get very excited over mechanics and technical details, often asking a flurry of questions when talking about them.[5] She is also modest, usually deflecting praise people give her regarding her mechanical skills.

Despite not being the formal leader of the Earth House, she is often treated as the de-facto leader for taking initiative and trying to mediate conflicts between members of her House. She also often helps her friends with their personal issues, such as encouraging Suletta to not worry about the keychains she got for Miorine and gently nudging Miorine to be more calm with Suletta.

Nika is very conflict-averse. In addition to mediating arguments between House members, she also tries to defuse bullying situations by refusing to fight back and acquiescing to what is asked. There are hints that she would enjoy pushing back more but restrains herself, such as taking glee when Chuchu beats up two Spacian bullies.

However, she is also prone to hiding things from the other Earth House members, particularly details about her past. When her personal conflicts escalate, she tends to leave without warning and tries to handle things herself so as to not burden anyone else with her issues, which can leave her alone in dangerous situations and frustrate her friends.

## Story

Nika was an orphan who grew up in a poor environment on Earth, not knowing who her parents were or where she was born. She worked in scrap and mechanics factories throughout her childhood. At some point, she became acquainted with the Dawn of Fold, and Naji acted as a father figure to her. When she was presented with an offer to attend the Asticassia School of Technology, she was excited at the chance to finally go to a school and live out her dreams. Shaddiq Zenelli promised to bring her in to the school on the condition that she serve as a go-between for the Dawn of Fold and his own faction. Shaddiq set up a fake corporation to sponsor her entry into the school, and she joined the Earth House.

As a mechanic of the Earth House, she oversaw many of their larger projects, including customizing Chuchu's [1] While a student, she continued facilitating meetings and discussions for Shaddiq as a go-between.

Nika was the first student to greet Suletta Mercury on her arrival at Asticassia, although she hesitated to intervene when a group of students begin teasing her. The ridicule did not last long when the Dark Crusaders attacked the base, exterminating all Newtypes, including all those involved with them. She was one of those who saved the pilot, and that was Chuchu.
