| Nia is introduced to the protagonist [[Rex]] as a low-ranking member of a group of people searching for a legendary treasure. While she initially balks at having to work with such a young salvager, she finds him easier to hang around with than the stoic {{iw|xsw|Jin}} and the smarmy {{iw|xsw|Malos}}. As a {{iw|xsw|Driver}}, Nia is bonded to a loyal {{iw|xsw|Blade|XC2}} named {{iw|xsw|Dromarch}}, who follows her commands and provides powerful water-based attacks and weaponry. The group successfully finds an {{iw|xsw|Ancient Ship}} and hauls up the "treasure" inside: a legendary Blade called the {{iw|xsw|Aegis}}. Rex foolishly touches the red sword, which prompts Jin to immediately kill him, greatly upsetting Nia. When Jin and Malos then order her to kill the rest of the salvagers to cover their tracks, she rebels, and instead joins Rex's side, who has been revived by the Aegis named [[Pyra]]. After escaping the scene, Nia joins Rex and Pyra's journey to find {{iw|xsw|Elysium}}, the legendary paradise at the top of the {{iw|xsw|World Tree}} where humanity can take shelter from the sinking continents of the [[Cloud Sea of Alrest]]. | | Nia is a Gormotti Driver from Gormott Providence, accompanied by her Special Blade, Dromarch. Together they went on the run from the Indoline Praetorium until they were rescued by Jin and offer her to join his organization, Torna. During a salvaging mission with Jin, Malos, and [[Rex]], when they reach a room containing the Aegis Pyra, she witnesses Jin kill Rex after touching Pyra's sword, prompting her and Dromarch to defect to the recently revived Rex's side and the first people to join him on his and Pyra's journey to reach Elysium. Eventually, it is revealed that Nia is a blade who was merged with the corpse of her former driver’s daughter. After the reveal, she can be freely switched between blade and driver forms. |

| Nia is a brash and unfiltered personality. Quick to anger and easily offended, she lashes out at the slightest provocation, with violence when she can get away with it and crass insults otherwise. This is mostly due to her feeling threatened and alone, an outcast from anywhere who knows her origins, with no one but Dromarch to steady her. Should she ever find someone who truly accepts her, she does possess a more caring side and a willingness to fight for someone rather than just against others.

| As a Driver, Nia's gameplay is based on whichever Blades she has bonded with. Dromarch cannot be unequipped, so she will always be at least partly in a healing role, even if her other Blades are attackers or tanks. She is one of the better healers due to her high ether stat, but her fighting techniques and animations tend to be subpar compared to other Drivers, and Dromarch is not a particularly powerful Blade. Nia does later unlock a unique mechanic that significantly increases both her offensive and defensive potential, at the expense of being able to use her Blades in {{iw|xsw|Field Skill|XC2}} checks.
