Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Nadenka Khruschev (with permission from Nothing Yet)

Nickname: Nada

Gender/Pronoun: sher/her

Age: 18

Birthday: August 31, 2006

Sign: Virgo

Gemstone: sapphire

Fav. Food: Event Food! If it's something you'll find at a country fair, theme park, or a line-up of food trucks, she's probably pretty excited about it.

Hated Food: Raw veggies, which she will eat, but with the attitude of taking a shot of hard whiskey

School/Occupation: It's her senior year at Meadowview and will be attending DCU in fall of 2025. On weekends, and full-time during the summer, Nada works as a skating server at the Jivin' Drive-In, a local retro themed drive-in theater.

Hobbies:

Design: Nada loves putting a personal touch on basically everything she owns. She doesn't consider herself an artist, seamstress, or coder; but if there's something she can customize, she absolutely will. From the walls of her room, to her clothes, to her blog, she tries to make everything around her reflect her tastes of the moment.

Athletics: She usually gravitates toward whatever team most of her friends are on during a season. This past year that meant volleyball and swimming at school and a hiphop class outside at a local studio. Nada likes staying active, but a large motivator is the social aspect. Practicing by herself rarely happens unless it's over a zoom call.

Movies: There's something about movies specifically, that catch and keep her attention well past the end credits. It's not unusual for Nada to get so obsessed about a particular movie or filmmaker that it becomes part of her personality for awhile. Besides, is there anything better than being surrounded by your friends, watching a movie together while inhaling handfuls of snacks?

Virtues:

Friendly: Did we just become best friends? Nada is an easy person to get along with and get to know. She'll initiate and try to keep the vibes positive. She's the sort of person who will try to make everyone feel included, without making things awkward.

Supportive: Do you need a study buddy? How about some help moving? Do you need someone to cheer you on full-heartedly when you start an super involved project you have no hope of actually finishing? What about a shoulder to cry on after your latest breakup? Nada is 100% Your Girl.

Flaws:

Needy: Nada absolutely needs regular contact to feel like she's still friends with someone, and without it, she starts to wonder what's wrong. She will text you daily, she will look at the notes and faves on her social media posts and notice who hasn't interacted. Nada is a person who needs people around her, and when she feels lonely or vaguely abandoned, she can start to spiral.

Tiring: Don't you want to go out and do something? Why would you want to waste a whole day at home? Nada loves to pack her schedule, and if you let her, she'll pack yours too! Even when someone plans to just hang out with her, she always tries to turn it into some kind of extra activity or experience. Even close friends will avoid her when they just want to relax.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Lavender, she often has a rather wide-eyed and energetic look

Hair: At the moment it is soft white, mid-back length, with large waves/curls. She likes the variety of styles that can hold up, usually she stays pretty casual to accommodate her daily activities, but at times can be fairly elaborate on a whim.

Face: oval, freckled

Skin Tone: ███

Body Type: 5'10" and wiry

Clothes: She likes to take prep/amercian ivy style clothing and add personal flair that goes a bit (or a lot) counter to their basic styling.

Looks good, have fun!
