Her Relationships
Nadia isn't close to many people, this is mainly due to her upbringing and how sheltered a life she has lived. Though there has been one person who has been a constant in her life and one who she could trust. And said person wasn't even in her age group. It was one of her handmaiden's, and older woman named Grace. She was there from the beginning and was there til the end. Nadia wouldn't be the person she is without her.
She raised her like her own child, she was more of a mother than Nadia's own mother, and that was what made their relationship stick. Nadia could always come to her when she needed something or when she needed to talk. And Nadia was there whenever Grace needed her, when she needed to put someone in their place for Grace and when Grace needed a break.
They were like mother and daughter until the end, when Grace was killed for the only reason of being in the wrong place and the wrong time. And her last act as a mother to Nadia was to make sure she knew that she needed to get back to the castle and leave her, to stay safe when she couldn't protect her anymore. And Nadia will never forget her, and will make sure her memory and her kindness lives on inside the castle that Grace loved so much, along with herself.
Who is your kalon's enemy/least favorite person? How did they come to feel this way about them?
Nadia's least favorite person is her mother. And though when she was little, she didn't feel this way, she does now. And it all started on the day she turned 17. The day itself had gone alright but as the ball for her birthday ended, her mother announced her marriage to a prince she had never met. Nadia was outraged about the betrothal and immediately rebelled, not wanting to get married because she wanted to fall in love, not betrothed. Her mother didn't understand her outrage. She herself had been betrothed and she was happy about it. It was never the same between them again. Nadia felt betrayed towards her mother, and her mother never understood what her problem was. And to this day their relationship is strained at best.
