Nina

Nina is the current generations #9 Claymore. She was previously in charge of the North but has since been replaced.

Appearance
Nina wears her pale hair in a long ponytail and sweeps her entire fringe to the left side of her face. She wears the standard Claymore uniform.

Employment as a Claymore
Nina is assigned as the captain of a team sent north to hunt an Awakened Being. She is very annoyed when Clarice turns up late, especially since she is only #47. She is horrified when she sees Clarice still has colour in her hair, telling her that she is merely a failed creation. Nina and her team soon encounter the Awakened Being and Nina almost manages to kill it using her special attack. However, the Awakened Beings had planned an ambush and the group is soon overwhelmed. They are all knocked unconscious, however they are saved by Clare and the six other survivors of the Northern Campaign. They all awake surrounded by only blood pools and believe they have been saved by the spirits of the dead Claymore.

She was later removed from the North by Rimuto and replaced by Claymore #7.

Personality
Nina is a cold and harsh woman, immediately disliking Clarice because of her coloured hair. She had no problem leaving Clarice behind during the battle, declaring her as usless. She is a skilled tactician but a rather poor strategist. She has complete faith in her abilities, shown when she closes her eyes after activating her "Shadow Hunter".

Abilities
Shadow Hunter: When Nina uses her special attack, named "Shadow Hunter", her blade will track the Yoki of her opponent until the Yoki is extinguished. The move can only be stopped by directly attacking Nina.
