Nod was raised by his father, who taught him many things including how to ride a deer. When his father died, Ronin took over raising Nod though they didn't always see eye to eye. Nod eventually joined the leafmen himself and though he has great skills for the task, he isn't fond of working as a team. He'd seen Bomba in the forest before and like Ronin, enjoyed mocking him for the clumsy way that a big creature moves, believing that he was dumb.

Nod has an athletic build, and yet he is lithe and slim. He has messy brown hair, parted at the middle, and hazel-brown eyes. He has a light spray of freckles across his nose. He initially wore the standard armor for Leafmen, but after quitting switched to a simple white short sleeved scruffy tunic, black pants, black fingerless gloves, and boots made of leaves.
