Nina is a crew member selected for the advance terraforming mission to Planet X-10, printed via biological 3D printing technology to prepare for human colonization. She has an average height, short black hair with silver fades, and a Caucasian complexion.
Her primary role involves scientific expertise in biological systems management. Following the solar-flare-induced misprinting of Lewis, she initially supports euthanizing the deformed iteration but hesitates, revealing ethical reservations about terminating a being with human elements. This hesitation leads to a critical incident where the misprinted Lewis kills her during the euthanasia attempt. She is subsequently reprinted, restoring her presence.
After reprinting, Nina resumes her scientific duties, including investigating the theft of the essential RA bomb. She joins strategic efforts to identify a traitor among the crew, participating in a staged confrontation with Oscar to test loyalties. Her actions contribute to uncovering Patty's sabotage aimed at protecting Planet X-10's native ecosystem.
In the mission's climax, Nina survives the spacecraft's destruction to reach the Atmospheric Transformer. She completes the terraforming process, ensuring Planet X-10's habitability. Upholding a promise to Lewis, she reprints Kate using biomaterial stored in a pendant before her own physical deterioration. Her development centers on navigating survival, ethical ambiguity, and commitment to the mission's objectives, culminating in her instrumental role in securing humanity's new home.
