Sporting short brown hair and dark green eyes, Nadia's appearance is exceedingly normal. With a fashion sense mostly made up of browns, green, whites, and blacks, she's not exactly the sort of girl who will stand out in a crowd unless she's in hero mode. Her hair falls around her face and over the back of her neck in whatever fashion it desires, and the only physical feature especially worth noting about Nadia is - bland though it may be - her eyes. A strong shade of green they may be, Nadia's eyes seem even more vivid in color when complimented by the bags one will frequently find under her eyes. She's not tired or anything; Nadia's just got naturally baggy eyes.

Her costume as Collider bears a distinct appearance. The first thing one may notice is that, unlike many superheroes, Collider doesn't wear a mask. She does, however, wear samurai-like armor that is primarily a pale olive color, with brown trims. This isn't real authentic armor of course - somebody like Collider doesn't need protection, and the "armor" is made of leather - but it's pretty sturdy regardless. Another point of note is that Collider is armed with a sakabato; a katana forged with the bladed end on the inside of the sword rather than the outside. This is not just for show. Nadia knows how to use this weapon.

In life, there are people who are content with what they've got, and people who keep pushing to become more and more than what they started as. Nadia constitutes a case of the latter. Somebody who doesn't believe in limits, Nadia trains and pushes herself above and beyond for the sake of becoming a great hero for the people, and encourages friend and foe alike to do the same. She believes that if every hero trained as hard as she did, crime could go extinct, and that if every villain did the same, things would get really difficult for the heroes to handle. Not that Nadia would mind a big challenge like that. In fact, she'd welcome it. A challenge that big would make Nadia all the stronger when she comes out on top, or ready for an inevitable rematch. Nadia's training is merciless for the express purpose of getting stronger, faster, and just altogether better.

There are many things Nadia believes in, and fear isn't one of them. It's her duty as a hero to have no fear, and Nadia embraces that requirement of fearlessness to drive herself face-first into situations most people wouldn't dare tackle. In fact, Nadia's a bit of a thrill-seeker, and actually enjoys laughing in the face of death repeatedly. It's strictly in her code to not run away from a fight, even if it would kill her. To her last breath, Nadia is driven by a single goal: Be a hero that brings law and peace to the people. This doesn't entirely mean stopping villains either; Nadia knows that. Somebody with a big helpful streak, she's the sort of girl who gets asked to help an old lady cross the street, but then goes the extra mile by taking her to the store, helping her get her groceries home, then cooking for her. Anyone can stop crime, Nadia would say, but not anyone will take the time out of their day to help people with more trivial problems.

Of course, she's not crazy enough to devote every waking hour to her hero act. People need to take breaks in between working hours, and Nadia's no exception. Off the clock, Nadia's an optimistic sort who prefers to kick back and have a quiet day. By her own admittance, Nadia's a bit of an otaku (as if her Collider outfit didn't give that away), and her favorite way to spend a quiet day is with some anime on the screen, fruit candies in one hand, and a sports drink in the other. If she wants to spend her off days being more "productive" without doing her job, on the other hand, Nadia's got a fondness of online gaming. Not unlike in real life, Nadia typically plays the tank role in a group, soaking up damage to protect her allies. She's not exactly a creative person, so a lot of her character names tend to be some variant of the word "Collider". A smart person would claim their online guise is "just a fan", but Nadia is not such a person. If asked, she'd only answer with the truth that she is Collider.

Although typically not one for fear or anger, even Nadia has her moments of being angry or afraid. She's known to be set off if somebody deliberately endangers others or interrupts her peaceful off-time. As for fears, while Nadia is typically somebody who charges head-first into anything, she does have one fear. She'd rather die than admit it, but Nadia is afraid of the dark. Her hero activities are much rarer at night as a direct result of this phobia, and her usual gung ho personality fades with the light, leaving her jittery and skeptical. Naturally, Nadia makes every possible effort to avoid the dark whenever she can.

With humble origins in a run-down neighborhood in F City, Nadia always had one goal in life. The product of two zealous enforcers of the law, Nadia wanted to follow in her parents' footsteps. She wanted to bring down the law on anyone who would try to break it and put everyone in danger. In a world of heroes and villains, however, such a dream can seem pretty intimidating for a kid. Let alone one who didn't seem to have any powers of her own. To compensate for her apparent lack of any powers, Nadia would train what she already had. From a young age, Nadia was very invested in her physical health so that she could become a hero, and she didn't take her eyes off the prize at any time. Eventually, her efforts would pay off when she discovered her very own power.

One rainy evening, while out for a jog, a fourteen-year-old Nadia's short trip across a street junction coincided with that of a semi truck. In that moment, as she was met with the grill of the truck, Nadia felt something click. Immediately afterwards, she felt the impact of a big-ass truck plowing into her, as Nadia herself was propelled two blocks down the street. However, despite everything that had just happened, she was uninjured. Sure the impact sent her further than it had any right to, but Nadia didn't have a cut, bruise, or broken bone to show for what had just happened. Thrilled that she had discovered her power (sort of), Nadia called off her jog early and started to train something else. Nadia got to work studying her power, how it worked, and what it was and wasn't capable of. And seeing as her power allowed her to get hit by a semi truck without a scratch, the best course of action to study her newfound abilities was clearly with a chain of death-defying stunts.

Be it taking a blast from a shotgun, jumping from a ten-story building, or one camping trip where she got into a fistfight with a bear, each experience that should have by all means killed Nadia taught her more about her power. With enough research, Nadia learned that she had the power to maintain all of her kinetic energy in a collision, making her invincible. She learned how to activate this power herself, but also learned that she couldn't keep it active for long without seriously draining her mental strength. Because she was able to collide with anything without facing injury, Nadia decided upon Collider for a hero name. From there, a hero career began.

Her power was still weak at first. As a result, Nadia - under the guise of Collider - couldn't take on real villains just yet. She kept her attention on superpowered thugs and up-and-coming villains, and targeted them instead, working herself hard to gain experience and hone her skills while enforcing the law on the city streets. Of course, a hero needs some downtime when they're not saving the day. Such is how Nadia picked up the hobbies of gaming and anime, which in turn led to her idea for a costume design. Some online shopping trips later, and Collider was no longer just a girl in a hoodie and mask. She was a proper hero (albeit still little more than a vigilante) with a proper costume.

Over the twelve years since discovering her power, Nadia continued to train, and grew from a simple street vigilante to a legitimate superhero. At age twenty, her career kicked off in earnest when she stopped a villain from summoning a terrible monster from the depths of the ocean. As a hero, Collider's career has been marked by quickly stopping a villain's deeds, leaving them tied up somewhere, then getting out of dodge before the media could show up and ask her questions. Unlike some heroes, Nadia doesn't wear a mask, which is a deliberate choice. She's taken this option to push herself to an even greater need to succeed. Should she fail, anyone who sees her on the street could see her face and recognize Collider, the hero that screwed something up and got lots of people killed. That's the last thing Nadia wants, so instead of hiding behind a mask like some might, she opted to forgo the mask entirely, making it a requirement to not fail in her heroic duties.

Her work has taken her far from her humble origins, both in terms of location and prestige, but Nadia is not daunted by the life now before her. If anything, she's out to succeed and show that she's more than capable of keeping the peace and order of society on the streets of the world's cities. However, she still hasn't registered with the Hero Association yet.

Nadia's parents were cops, and she wanted to go above and beyond in their footsteps by becoming a superhero. Only problem? Nadia seemed to have no powers to speak of. That changed at age fourteen when - out on a jog one rainy evening - she was met with the grill of a semi truck. Nadia survived the incident without a scratch, and took to a chain of further death-defying actions to learn more about her power. Nadia - soon becoming Collider - learned just what she was capable of, and constantly trained herself until her body screamed at her to stop, then kept training even further. At first, she was little more than a vigilante in a costume, but that changed at age twenty.

Nadia's first actual hero gig involved stopping a villain from summoning up some nasty sea monster from the depths. Once her experience was in hero turf, Nadia's career kicked off in earnest. She's got a reputation for dealing with bad guys quickly then getting out of dodge before the media bombards her with questions, but she's yet to register with the Hero Association. She's also adamantly stuck with the choice of not wearing a mask so as to push herself to higher standards of heroism.

Perfect Elastic: When two objects collide, some of the kinetic energy in the collision is converted into other forms of energy. Some examples of this are the dent in a car after a crash, or the sound made when clapping your hands. Nadia's power allows her to become a perfect elastic, meaning that none of her kinetic energy is lost in a collision. This in turn means a few things, most notably that while this ability is active, Nadia is invincible against physical attacks. This power giving her immunity to physical harm also enables Nadia to use the full extent of her body's strength without breaking bones, tearing muscles, etc, while it's active. As a result, it also increases her strength and speed several times over. However, this Fragment has two critical weaknesses.

Because Nadia's kinetic energy isn't lost in a collision when her Fragment is active, she'll be knocked much further back by attacks than she normally would. Secondly, this power involves pretty advanced scientific shit, and using it is mentally quite taxing. Keeping her power active for extended periods of time will wear her out very quickly, and unless she's calm, it will range from weakened to inoperable. This effectively means that while she's invulnerable against physical attacks, mental or emotional attacks can render her powerless very quickly.

Swordsmanship: Although she's no pro, Nadia knows how to use her sakabato in battle if necessary. As a general rule, she doesn't use the bladed end, even against a villain that could seriously threaten her life.

Reflexes: The result of end-game MMO content on her downtime. Nadia's reflexes and reaction time are pretty damn sharp, giving her a slight edge in combat.

Mass Collision: Despite being a total weeb, Nadia's typically not one for stylish finishing moves. Her Mass Collision, however, is an exception to the rule. This four-hit combo starts with a full-force knee to the bad guy's face, followed a second knee after using her speed to catch up to the baddie. The third hit is an aerial stomp meant to bounce the opponent up off the ground for the finishing blow. Said finishing move involves leaping up into the air and slamming the opponent back down with a mighty punch. She's tried incorporating her weapon into the combo, but she says doing so makes it lose that special flair.

A bit addicted to fruit candies. Often munching on them when not doing hero work.

Although she's not one for fanclubs or press coverage, Nadia enjoys being complimented on heroic deeds she's done.
