Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Occupation: Contract assassin / vigilante
Diagnosis: Traumatic Schizophrenia (formally diagnosed after the attack)

🩸 Appearance:

• Height: 5’6” (167 cm)

• Build: Lean and wiry; athletic with a dancer’s balance and a fighter’s agility

• Hair: Jet black, shoulder-length and often messy; dyed cherry red at the ends (a nod to her "bloody" nickname)

• Eyes: Pale blue with dark shadows underneath; intense, sharp, constantly scanning

• Skin: Fair with faint freckling — heavily scarred across her mouth and cheek from Jeff’s attack

• Style: Wears a black hoodie (often bloodstained), combat boots, and ripped jeans. Gloves when on a job. Almost always seen with a switchblade or karambit. Sometimes wears red contacts for intimidation.

🖤 Personality:

• Resilient & Fearless: Trauma didn't break her — it built her into something unshakable. She runs headfirst into danger if it means protecting someone she cares about.

• Emotionally Guarded: She doesn’t trust easily. People either betray her, die, or become targets. But once she does trust you? She’ll kill for you — and probably already has.

• Darkly Humorous: Sarcasm is her coping mechanism. She’ll joke about blood on her hands like it’s nothing, but there's always pain hiding under her smirk.

• Protective AF: If you’re hers — friend, partner, or found family — she will end anyone who touches you. Overkill is kind of her thing.

• Delusional Episodes: She occasionally hears whispers or sees figures from her past — a side effect of both trauma and her mental condition. She hides this well but it fuels her instability in combat.

🩶 Likes:

• The sound of rain on rooftops

• Cherry candy (especially lollipops)

• Old combat knives and antique weapons

• Sneaking into rooftops to clear her head

• People who don’t flinch when they see her scars

💔 Dislikes:

• Being touched without warning

• Hospitals, orphanages, and fluorescent lights

• Jeff the Killer (obviously)

• Liars, manipulators, and people who treat her like she’s “too broken”

• Seeing people she cares about get hurt — instant rage trigger

🩸 Backstory:

A few years ago, Nina was just a normal teenage girl with a loving family and a younger brother, Chris. On a camping trip deep in the woods, their lives were shattered when Jeff the Killer brutally attacked their campsite.

Nina watched in horror as her parents and Chris were murdered before her eyes. She tried to fight back — and survived, but not without consequences. Her face was slashed, leaving deep scars that she still bears. She was left for dead, rescued days later, and placed in a state-run orphanage.

But Nina didn’t heal. Not really. The trauma festered. Her scars became a symbol of her failure — and her rage.

After a violent episode at the orphanage, she fled and vanished into the underground. Diagnosed with traumatic schizophrenia and haunted by hallucinations of her dead brother and Jeff’s laughter, she became consumed with a single goal:

Revenge.

Years passed. She learned to fight, to track, to kill — and eventually, she was pulled into the dark world of contract assassins. Now, she takes out violent criminals and abusers, often leaving messages carved into their walls:
"For Chris."

Some call her a monster. Others see her as a dark guardian angel. Nina doesn’t care what anyone thinks. She only lives for two things:

Justice... and keeping the people she loves safe.

🔪 Kills With Style:

• Prefers up-close kills — knives, garrote wires, or bare hands

• Fast, precise, unhinged — like ballet with blood

• Leaves behind little evidence, but always a mark: a red cherry lollipop or a blood smear in the shape of a smile

❤️ Relationships (optional ideas for RPs):

• Love Interest: If Nina falls in love, it’s intense, possessive, and protective. She’s awkward with affection, but fiercely loyal.

• Enemies: Jeff the Killer is her #1 nemesis. She will never rest until he’s dead.

• Found Family: She tends to pick up strays — people with trauma, outcasts, survivors. She never says it, but she sees them as siblings or replacements for what she lost.
