Her fighting style blends acrobatic precision with shadow-based techniques, making her one of the most elusive warriors in the world.

To some, she is a ghost. To others, a savior.

She has a dry, understated sense of humor, often delivered through subtle gestures or cryptic remarks. Nida does not seek fame; she seeks impact. To her, victory is measured not in applause, but in unseen victories and lives saved without recognition.
