APPEARANCE.[/size][/color]

<sub>Nadia sticks out like a sore thumb next to Japanese digidestined. Her skin is a dark, ruddy complexion that reflects her heritage. It's clear that her lineage isn't all Indian, though - her eyes are a dark, dusky blue. She's afraid people will mistake her for a ganguro girl, so she's sure to keep her hair it's natural deep brown. She wears no makeup aside from a regular moisturizing regiment. Her hair is cut up the to the nape of her neck, nearly shaved in the back - with a gradually longer lengths towards the front coupled with full bangs.

Nadia's is on the taller side than most of the people she associates - a respectable five feet and five inches. Her body is slim with subtle curves. She likes to be as fashion forward as she can. During warm weather she wears rompers (usually with a nice floral pattern) and gladiator sandals. Winter months bring out skinny dark washed jeans and fitted jackets of all sorts of colors. She has a favorite pair of sunglasses that she wears more often than anything - a dark, desaturated brown gradient from top to a lighter tone at the bottom of the lenses.</sub>



PERSONALITY.[/size][/color]

<sub>Nadia's personality is a sum of her upbringing. She's down to earth and grateful for all that she has. Objectivity is a great asset of hers - perspective is everything. She can look beyond her circumstances and personal feelings to get done whatever needs doing. It does at times make her appear to be cold or insensitive, but she merely has clear goals. Nadia is a calloused individual, but very much believes in rising above one's circumstances to be the best possible person. She can be cynical and brutally honest (sometimes unnecessarily) with those who are naive. If there's one thing she refuses to tolerate, it's selfishness.

While Nadia does tend to be a peaceful and self-satisfied individual, she's guilty of looking for the bad in situations. Call her a buzzkill or a pessimist, but she's not trying to be. Nadia enjoys making friends and companionship in general, but her initial impression isn't exactly warm. She never had the opportunity to be a real child and, like most Indian families at the bottom of the proverbial totem poll, she was not taught to read or write and was working full time by the time she was twelve...and it was not as a busboy.

Nadia did not grow up watching television, movies, or with a computer, and thus, she's technologically inept. While she knows her way around the basics of computers now, she still does not own a television and has no interest in doing so. Books interest her far more and imagination is a valuable commodity. Nadia is highly self-disciplined and perhaps too self-critical. She often doesn't realize how hard she really is on herself - and its born mostly from a desire to be better than her biological parents.

Due to her past, any sexuality Nadia has is repressed. She doesn't flirt and doesn't know what to do when she gets flirted with. Dating is a scary idea for her and in general it would be a long process to get her comfortable enough to consider it. Overall, she's not secure in her femininity and doesn't feel all that validated as a woman. She has no idea what a boy would see in her for that kind if relationship. Nadia views herself as damaged goods and may have an acute case of haphephobia (the fear of being touched).</sub>

Roy Shepherd (adoptive father)

<sub>Like many children in India, Nadia was born under less than desirable circumstances. Her mother was one of many prostitutes enslaved in the brothels. By lineage, Nadia was destined to be entrapped in the same line of work. Her childhood was full of neglect and abuse and, though she was very young, she saw many horrors as a girl. She fought and scrounged for food and was forced to follow in her mother's footsteps (who was too busy caring about her own life than her daughter). The future was very dark for Nadia.

When Nadia turned fourteen, there was light. She was rescued by the organization As Our Own and taken in to a new family. Americans, Roy and Lisa Shepherd. They loved her dearly and treated her as well as any parents could. She learned to read and write and went from having nothing to having more than she dreamed of. In her new home she found love and acceptance despite her past. Nadia was found to be very intelligent and she wanted very much to go to university - in Japan. With enough money from her adoptive parents for school and a small apartment, she set out. As of now, she's majoring in Social Work to help other people like herself. She still e-mails and writes her adoptive parents, who still live in India (and take on other rescued children) constantly.

Her interest in Digimon grew when she came to Japan - desperation to be unique and have a companion drove her to AIR to buy an imitation digivice and partner of her own. Perhaps she's trying to fill another emotional void in her life, but she wouldn't know because she lived like that for so long. While Nadia is very honest, she does not talk about her life before being rescued with anyone. The only exception would be if she fell in love some day. Due to her past, she's very in tune to man's (and digimon's, in a way) capacity for evil.

Nadia speaks Hindi, English, and is close to fluent in Japanese.</sub>
