![]() Nina sets off alone to force the wizard to give her the remedy for the poison and along the way is joined by nameless Wyndian guards. The king of Wyndia, her father, was poisoned due to his decision not to ally with the Dark Dragon clan by the Wizard of Karma. In the original Breath of Fire, Nina is introduced in her hometown of Wyndia (or Winlan in the U.S. She is almost always wearing some type of dress or robe in each game. Nina is always portrayed as a young girl with blond hair and the wings typical to the Wing Clan, except in Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter where she has no wings at all but Air Purifiers on her back. This is expanded upon in the second game where Nina, while seeking the power of flight, interacts with her predecessor who admits to being responsible for the slow declination of her people after falling in love with a man from another tribe. However, it has been theorized that their wings degenerated as time went on, until a point came when they didn't have wings at all. The Wing Clan were winged warriors who lived around Wyndia, the older members of which could transform into large birds. In some games, Nina has been classed as a member of the Wing Clan or Fae, a winged tribe. In Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, Nina is neither a princess nor even naturally winged. As previously mentioned, there is an implied romance between her and Ryu in each rendition of the franchise although it is not always explicitly shown. Of her appearances, Nina's first three incarnations are the most identical all are members of the angelic Fae tribe, as well as princesses. Like Ryu, many of her incarnations share similar traits, namely blond hair and wings. Because of this, Ryu and Nina's names placed together translates into dragon fire. However, the meaning of fire fits perfectly into Ryu's dragon lineage, along with the themes of each story. All meanings of her name fits her character well in each story. Nina's name translates to fire/young girl/favor/grace/great granddaughter. She is the lead female/heroine in every game except Breath of Fire II in which she shares the role with Katt, and serves as a love interest of Ryu though the relationship between them is usually left ambiguous with strong implications. Nina is a character in the Breath of Fire series. ![]()
