Personality
Nadia is extremely sarcastic, brash, and confident. she commands most situations and is willing to tell anyone exactly what she thinks of them.

Background

Nadia eventually begins talking to Mike Kershaw and they leave to go to the shop to buy condoms for a hook-up. Nadia talks to Ferran who she asks about her cat to.
