Nia

Nia is a Gormotti Driver and is accompanied by her Blade, Dromarch, who calls her "Lady" like a butler. She comes from Gormott Province. Originally a member of Torna, she defects to Rex's side after Pyra's awakening. In keeping with her cynical nature, Nia is very cautious and is generally the first of the group to suspect ulterior motives; when Rex claims that Elysium must exist on the grounds that Pyra is from there, Nia chides him for being overly trusting and suggests that Pyra may be setting Rex up to betray him down the line. She also initially doesn't trust Mòrag when the latter officially joins the group (partially due to Morag throwing Nia into prison before and partially due to the long-standing animosity between Gormott and Mor Ardain) and when the group are on the way to Indol to meet the Praetor in order to learn how to get to the World Tree, she warns Rex to be wary as she feels things are falling into place too easily for there not to be some foul play involved, suspicions that ultimately prove to be well-placed. Though generally rude and aloof, Nia does display empathy for Pyra's situation. She also develops a teasing camaraderie with the rest of the party, warming especially to Rex as she gets to know him better. As the Queen of Agnus, Nia attempts to conceal her blunt and uncouth attitude with an air of refinement under the impression that her usual self would be considered undignified, but she has little success in doing so. Nia is shown to be good friends with Melia. The two Queens have complete trust in each other and know each other very well.
