Name: Sara Torres
In game name: Nadie
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Brief history: It could be said that Sara pretty much grew up by herself. In her earlier life, this was a more literal in that she rarely formed friendships with other children at schools, and was often left alone at home with her sister while her parents worked. Growing up without any true primary groups has had a significant effect on Sara’s development and ability to connect with other people and groups.
Throughout her teenage years, her social life improved and she gained friends, but inside she still had troubles understanding and feeling accepted in friend groups. She often used video games and books as a form of escapism, and the NerveGear was no different. It later proved to be much, much different when she and many other players found themselves stuck in a new game: Sword Art Online.
Brief Personality: For a majority of her life, Sara has always been the weird girl who was left by herself. Having to deal with isolation for as much as she had, her emotional and social growth is somewhat stunted. She believes she is the only person she can truly rely on, and trusting others does not come easy to her. While she has made strides recently in learning how to socialize and act around others, she is still introverted and quiet by habit and struggles with coming out of her shell, both mentally and in the form of a mask she wears in-game to hide her face.
Under the former, she’s still pretty strange, but in a kind of charming way. For the most part, she’s polite and cordial, but with a hot temper, as well as incredibly intelligent, making her capable of learning and analyzing complex subjects and situations very quickly. Unfortunately, sometimes her intelligence and lack of understanding how other people feel can cause her to be condescending to others who do not understand things the way she does. Overall, even though it can be hidden under a measure of self doubt, Sara is an ambitious young woman, and passionate about the things that matter most to her.
Appearance:
Armor : Cloth armor, including a hooded cloak and a mask that hides her face.
Weapon of Choice: Broken Sword
Skill set: One-Handed Straight Sword, Light Metal Equipment, Parry,
Unique Skill: Fade: A passive skill that significantly reduces Nadie’s presence in the game, in the form of aggro. However, this effect not only applies to NPC’s/monsters, but even to other players, making her almost unnoticeable. The skill does not make her actually invisible, only making her less likely to draw attention. While it is entirely possible for her to be seen by other players, to her benefit, most players often do not. While imperfect, the skill is especially effective, and with Nadie’s silence, she can become practically nonexistent and traverse most environments completely unseen.
Approach: Nadie combines the stealthiness of Fade with rushdown fighting and shock tactics drawn from her own aggressive personality.
