Nina had a rough life, living out in a wasteland of sweltering hot dunes, mutated fauna and ruthless slavers and bandits. The wasteland was created by human error and corporate negligence. She has a deep hatred for those on the other side of the law who kill and maim for no good reason due to her brother being killed by slavers when she was young. Her father is a jolly mechanic and her mother is a rough former pit-fighter, she takes after both of them.
