.:Name:. Nadia Kinnley
.:Nick Name:.  Nadi
.:Affiliation:. Farm Station - Arkadia 
.:Age:. 18 

| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |

.:Physical Appearance:.  Nadi isn't particularly imposing. Quite the opposite in fact. She's small and has a very slight figure and often gets lost in crowds. In all her class photographs she was lost behind taller students and the only time she stands out on her own is when there is nobody else around. She keeps her hair short and manageable; framing her rounded face and wide doe eyes much like her adoptive mother kept her hair. When it comes to her style, Nadi keeps it casual with her sleeves rolled up for work and her pants tucked into her boots. Industrial is a good way to describe the way Nadia carries herself. She's much too shy to pull off anything very extreme. 

.:Height:. 5"3
.:Portrayed by:. Kat Graham

.:Personality:. Quiet and polite are often the first two words that come to mind when thinking of Nadia. They're accurate, since the young woman only speaks when another initiates conversation or when she really needs something. This shyness has been something that Nadia has carried around her whole life, and it's hard to say if there is any reason behind it. She is a diligent worker and does best in a place where she blends into the work. She's always worked the kitchens, so naturally it is where she feels most comfortable. Nadi is quick on her feet and has a passion for dance and music. Once she was very outspoken about these passions but now she tends to focus on getting things done and staying out of the spotlight. 

.:Special Skills:. Nadia is no fighter and has no skills with any kind of weapon, but she has a gift for dance. When she was little, she had a solo in the unity day pageant. She's also a very good cook which has come in hand in the kitchens, but when it comes to much else she's a bit of a pacifist. She has taken an interest in farming and will hopefully be able to learn new skills to help Arkadia.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark

.:Family:. Nadia's mother died during childbirth and it was unclear at the time who her father was. Instead of being raised an orphan she was given to another family who wanted a child but was unable to conceive due to contraceptive implant malfunctions. Her adoptive family died in the culling. 

.:Occupation:. Kitchen Staff

.:History:. After the death of her birth mother, Nadia was given to a couple who could not have children of their own. They were kind parents and raised her well. Though she was always a quiet child, her family never worried about it. Instead, they encouraged Nadia to explore other means of self expression including drawing, dance and music. Though she never had the voice to carry a tune, Nadia was always very good on the piano when she had a chance to play. She had a rare gift to play a tune after hearing the music. Of course, with so little surviving compositions, she had to make her own music. When she was eleven years old, she took part in a unity day presentation where she performed a contemporary dance routine on her own for the entire ark. It's still her most precious memory to date.

When Nadia was fourteen, she had an anxiety attack in the kitchens and accidentally lashed out at one of the workers. It was an accident, and even though it was excused by medical as a panic attack the coworker suffered a broken nose and a severely bruised ego. She wouldn't drop any charges and Nadia was considered a criminal by the arks standards. Unfortunately, she was locked up with the other delinquents. She served her time quietly and just as politely as always. When she turned eighteen, she was pardoned for her crimes and released back into the ark society where she picked up her old job full time. Seven years of imprisonment certainly didn't help her timid personality, but it didn't matter. A mere week after her release the hundred were sent down to earth. 

Soon after, her adoptive parents volunteered themselves as a sacrifice for no good reason in a last ditch effort to save oxygen. Nadia would have joined them, but her mother wouldn't allow it. She said that Nadia had too much life she needed to catch up on. Of course, the dying ark wasn't a place for that. It soon became clear that they would be sent to earth much sooner than they thought. Nadia was in farm station when they went down to earth. When they landed, she struggled to survive among a group of forced-to-be warriors. Azgeda was ruthless against them and even after they reunited with Arkadia, the deaths of her friends in Mount Weather was traumatic. Now she works in the kitchen yet again; silent and diligent. With all the hell going on, she is simply holding onto hope for a better future-- knowing that means more death is bound to come.

The city of light was never a conflict to her. She was one of the few who took the chip as soon as she was able.
