she does have a quote from Johnny the Homicidle maniac on her forearm (underside)
"I'm sure that if you searched into the lives of some of these victims, you would find out that they, themselves, were the cause of their very deaths."
Right Leg [unfinished]:
She has an invader Zim full sock [leg tattoo] it has all the main characters. It also has another character from Jhonen Vasquez's comics and that is Nny
[From Johnny the Homicidle Maniac] as well as 'Nailbunny' from the same comic.
Note: THESE are not her skin tones (nor are they her!) they just are examples of her tattoo's. She is a true albino (except for the eyes) and thus the colors of her tattoo's are brighter.

Albino.
Deaf.
Clothing Style:
No short sleeves [unless indoors with no natural sunlight], mainly loose fitting dresses, slacks, shirts.
Often times she will have a Muslim head-covering, gloves and sunglasses.
.x. Personality .x.
Nadya is both laid back and high strung. She has a case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder which can make it hard for her to perform everyday tasks.
These include (but are not limited to): sketching, driving, where she eats, what she touches, who she touches, what has been moved...etc.
As a Nixe she also must be careful about who she touches. While in human form she is not a threat, within seconds she can switch to her horse-form...and gain the ability to steal a persons life force.
Likes:
& Water – It is her home and her first love. It speaks to her, understands her and she cherishes that.
& Rowing/Crew – She enjoys the speed and the competition
& Family – She comes from a family of Gypsies. It is her greatest love…and she often goes back to Romania (Or Russia) wherever her family is.
& Animals: Her favorite would be her Gypsy Vanner horse that lives under her bedroom.
& Ravens: They live on her rooftop garden; she feeds them every morning (the crusts of her toast) before heading off to work.
& Hecate: The woman treats her as a daughter and always makes sure that she has money for her rent.
& Effie: The child knows how to have fun…often times they will spend their time putting puzzles together and watching Spongebob.
Dislikes:
& Sun – It burns her poor skin and causes horrible blisters and third degree burns. She has been hospitalized many times.
& Landlord – He tries to get her to pay her rent with her body. Of course, Hecate and her father make sure that this will NEVER happen.
& Bodies – she doesn’t mind the bodies themselves. It is the stories that Hecate figures out..
Habits:
Chews on her lower lip when worried [which is almost a constant thing]
Has to sterilize her desk before sitting down in the morning.
Signs when she is tired of speaking.
Hobbies:
* Swimming: She is an excellent swimmer [Hello, Brook Horse]
* Crew: She loves rowing.
Talents/Strengths:
& Art Skills: She can take a look at a skull, with markers, and put a face together. She also can go to victims and create an accurate sketch of a wrong-doer.
& Swimming: She is a strong swimmer, her Sundays are spent swimming five miles. Every morning she does a two mile swim.
& Barista skills: She worked for Starbucks when in Seattle (as well as her two other jobs). She is often a biiiig love of the coffee drinkers in the building.
Which is almost everyone.
&Understanding Hecate: It is a rare gift to be able to understand her and /not/ piss her off.
Weaknesses:
&Flat Feet and Bad knees: She can't run (hence why she swims) and thus can't get away. It comes from years of walking, riding and standing for long periods of time.
&Sun: It can cause horrible blisters and burns. Five minutes out in cloudy weather can burn her skin. Thus, she must hide under fabric.
&Effie's puppy eyes: It seems no one can resist the cuteness of Effie's puppy eyes. It gets her a later bedtime.
&Being Touched: It is just something she doesnt like. Depending where you touch her it can hurt...or be completely numb.
&Germs: Just no. This continues the 'being touched' thing. She is not a big fan of it. If it has been sitting out for more then three minutes...she will not touch it.
&Random If things are uneven, not complete, dirty, different, frightening, not normal...pretty much if she see's something...she either likes it or she doesnt.
Fears:
&Sharks: With their teeth and their ability to strike from below...it scares her as she swims, since their have been sightings of Bull Sharks in the river.
&Fire: When she was young she was badly burned and thus is very careful when it comes to flames. It actually can send her hiding in a corner.
&Spiders They just creep her out.
&Something being moved and thus not found This is one of her biggest fears. She constantly has to make sure nothing as been touched or moved from the orignal space.
