Personality: Although she was not trained as a ninja early on, Nya is very capable of defending herself. She did not like the fact that so much focus is put on the ninja, so she resolved to become a hero in her own way, which she did by becoming Samurai X, and is highly independent, desiring the choice and ability to choose her own identity and destiny. She also gets annoyed when people look at her differently because she's a girl within a prominently male group. She dislikes being labeled by association, like "Jay's girlfriend" or "Kai's sister," choosing to be her own person. Many instances reveal she is highly intelligent, as she was able to create the Samurai armor and several types of technology, and she was able to pinpoint the location of Serpentine Tombs. It seemed that Nya was aware of Jay's crush on her very early on, such as when she nodded to Jay's offer to walk to the junkyard when they first went out. Nya's weakness is her unwillingness to fail. Being good at so much, when she finds herself in a position to fail, she is quick to give up. She was the only ninja to unlock their true potential before learning Spinjitzu. True failure impacts her strongly, as any failure can cause her aggression and denial against the possibility of failure to return. Likewise, she's insecure and sensitive about her own personal identity, either as Samurai X or her own role amongst the ninja team, and is conflicted over being told her destiny. Over time, Nya tries to grow and be satisfied with her roles, though her assumptions about herself are usually upturned. She is also rarely jealous of Kai. Apart from wanting to choose her own path, Nya does not feel the need to be well-known for her accomplishments and skills as long as she knows she's doing the right thing.
