Nisha Dhar is a demigod, the daughter of Ares, camp half-blood's self-proclaimed historian and archivist, and works at camp half-blood as weapon's coordinator. She is a pacifist and has on several occasions denounced violence, during the Titan War she did not fight in the Battle of Manhattan, but worked as a medic. During the war she would organize battle plans, be in charge of communication between the campers, and keep charge of the weapon's inventory making sure there were enough weapons for the upcoming battles, which would later cause Chiron to make her the official weapon's coordinator in camp Half-Blood. She also organized several funeral rites for campers that had passed away. Even though she didn't physically fight Clarisse stated that without her sister they would have lost the war ten times over.

## Personality

> I don't believe I can solve all conflict by talking, but there's more to winning a fight than throwing the first punch.

> What did I do? I organized battle plans, made sure everyone knew what was happening, prepared funerals. I stayed up at night every goddamn night for months making arrows and sharpening swords. I made sure that whatever punch they threw mattered.

Nisha is a well-known pacifist around camp and has in her words never gotten into a physical alteration with someone. She believes it's more important to find ways to avoid conflict or stop fights before they can happen, and while her pacifism can be viewed as naive Nisha seems very aware of the cruelty of some people, and knows that being a demigod means having to pick up a sword ones in a while shown by the fact she knows basic self-defense. Her pacifism seems to come from both reading history as a child and realizing war never ends well for either sides, and on top of that her anger at having to fight to survive being a demigod. Clarisse later clarifies that her sister is an excellent fighter and notes that Nisha could easily win a fight with anyone at camp if she wanted too, and that she carries as much anger issues as most children of Ares, but where most of them put that anger into fighting Nisha puts it into her own form of pacifism stating: "[Nisha]'s angry that fighting isn't a choice, it's a necessity for us, every time she spouts some pacifistic garbage she's going against dad who refuses to protect us, she's putting a middle finger up at the gods and they can't do anything about it because otherwise they'd be admitting they're scared of a little demigod who's never even picked up a sword." The statement also reveals Nisha is smart enough to know how the gods think and knows how to avoid fights with them more solidifying her beliefs of pacifism.

Trough this however Nisha has shown she does respect people who chose to fight, shown as she supports the campers in the war and doesn't once suggest a peaceful approach with the Titans going as far as telling Percy that if he accepts Prometheus' deal she'd never respect him again. She is however proud of her own decisions and becomes hostile when someone suggests she's a coward for her pacifistic ways. She is also confident in her abilities when asked if she'd take up a sword to save her friends she says she'd make sure it would never come to that, she also seems unconcerned about doom scenarios stating she prefers to focus on the here and now saying that whatever comes afterwards can wait.
