Early History[]
Not much is known about Nia or her background, aside from her being apart of a family of gorgons. Nia and her family lived off-the-grid, with no neighbors or friends, going into town only for the necessities.
At some point, Nia was forcibly coerced into helping Triad Industries capture and detain Landon Kirby.
Throughout Legacies Series[]
Season One[]
In Let's Just Finish the Dance, she is first seen covered by a bag while at Triad Industries. She is forced into capturing and detaining Landon to the site or she would be thrown into Malivore. She arrives at the boarding school looking around and is then talked to by MG, sparking a conversation about Green Lantern and taking a tour. When MG is confronted by his mother, Nia leaves them and when the two are finished talking, Nia is shown to have been listening. When Alaric is at the old mill, Nia shows up and reveals that she is a gorgon, petrifying Alaric in the process when he refused to cooperate with her. When Landon walks out of the pageant, he is confronted by Nia and she plans on petrifying him so she can bring him to Triad. Before she can do anything, she hears a bell getting struck and MG reveals himself to be the one striking a bronze bell, disrupting her powers. She tries to petrify MG, but this proves futile as her powers don't work on vampires. He then stabs her with a syringe, knocking her out in the process. When he asks her why she petrified his mom, she tells him that it was because she wasn't being nice to him, but he defends his mother.
In There's Always a Loophole, she is being held in a cell in the basement and is talking to MG about being let out because her family needs her. He tells her that decision is Alaric's call, but before they can talk further, Nia goes unconscious from a dart Veronica shot at her. Much later, Nia is let out of her cell and petrifies Burr before he can harm MG. She tells him that she wouldn't leave him hanging, alluding to John Stewart not letting the Corps down, and tells him to stay in touch, kissing him in the process.
