La Arwall, Nadia

ナディア・ラ・アルウォール

Nadia is a 14-year-old orphan who wears a mysterious pendant around her neck. Other than this, she does not know her origins, though she suspects she may be from Africa. Raised in a circus under the unloving care of her ringmaster, Nadia has developed a fierce animosity toward adults. She also opposes killing in any form—in fact, she angrily refuses to show Nemo any gratitude when he shoots a Neo-Atlantean to save her from being shot, accusing him of "murdering in cold blood." Additionally, she is a strict vegetarian, declaring that humans have no right to feed off animals, while ignoring her friends' suggestions that they eat meat due to hunger. Stubborn and bad-tempered as she is, Nadia is actually very insecure and fears that everyone will betray her. However, as a result of her growing love for Jean, she learns valuable lessons about respect, love, friendship, and faith.
