Story arc
Nia first appears as part of the elite salvaging crew hired by. She isn't happy about being given a child in Rex as crewmate, and butts heads with him a couple times, but comes to understand him a bit better after asking him about what he believes about the World Tree and Elysium. This makes it upsetting when Jin kills Rex because he touched the Aegis, the crew's target. Malos then demands she kill all the remaining salvagers so none would tell tales of the task, which she refuses. The revived Rex and the escaped Pyra then fight Malos, and Nia decides to side with them. After rescuing each other, Azurda appears, and they escape. Hoever, Azurda is shot down, and crashes onto Gormott.

After Nia is being found by Rex and Azurda turning into his larval form, she escorts them to the Gormotti town of Torigoth. At the town entrance, they find a humiliating wanted poster of her, as well as of Malos and Jin. She gets furious and rifs hers into pieces. She tells Rex, Pyra and Azurda that she will part ways and go pack to Torna after she lead them to an inn. However, they were being attacked by a group of Ardainian soldiers lead by Captain Padraig. At first, they manage to fight them off, but soon after, Special Inquisitor Mòrag and her Blade Brighid arrive as reinforcements. They manage to capture Nia and Dromarch, who tells Rex to flee. Nia is being interrogated by Mòrag and accidentally mentions Rex's name. At the same time, Rex asks the people of Torigoth about information about Nia and he finds out that she is being held captive in the Ardainian Battleship and that they plan to execute her within the next few days. With the help of and her artificial Blade Poppi, they sneak into the battleship and free Dromarch and later Nia, who was surprised to find Rex saving her, and not Jin. She was also surprised when being told about her execution, and it became clear that the Ardainians spread rumours to lure Rex, and with him the Aegis, into the battleship. They are attacked by Dughall and again by Mòrag and Brighid, but this time manage to escape. After being far enough from Torigoth to be safe, Nia once again tells the others that she needs to part ways, but Rex convinces her to stay together with them and travel to the World Tree. They borrow a ship from Tora's uncle Umon and set sail for the World Tree, but are attacked by Ophion and then swallowed by the Urayan Titan.
