Born to the rough and tumble life of corruption and poverty of Nar Shaddaa, Nina grew up poor and desperate. Recruited by the Cartel from a young age in order to help provide for her ailing parents and starved sibling, Nina grew up quickly, trained in the art of violence. Such skills followed her through life, when she eventually took on a loan from the Hutt Cartel that enabled her to escape life on the Smuggler's Moon. At that point, she stepped into the bounty hunting business with the expectation of shitty work but steady pay. She's been known to accept gigs on the side, and she has few scruples about the difficulty or legality of a job.

Family (20) - Nina feels responsible for the welfare of her family, who remain indebted to the Hutt Cartel. To ensure their continued good health, she often will send credits to the majordomo of Fororra the Hutt, the bribe kept secret and in return, the 'domo ensures her family is well cared for while Nina is absent from the Smuggler's Moon. If she fails to uphold this bargain, it's been insinuated that the majordomo will harm her family.
