Nia Yamato (Conflicted Hearts)

Nia Yamato is the twin sister of Kira Yamato and the fraternal twin of Cagalli Yula Athha, her adopted parents as well as Aunt and Uncle are Caridad and Haruma Yamato, her cousin and adopted brother is Takeo Yamato.

Nia lived an ordinary life with aspirations of joining Morgenroete and becoming an engineer, however during the Battle of Heliopolis, she is drawn explosively into the greater conflict.

Childhood
Nia history is pretty much the same as Kira’s up until the point where Kira and Takeo leave to attend the preparatory school at Copernicus City on the Moon, Nia decided to attend school at Heliopolis and had her (adoptive) parents enroll her at one of the schools there. Shortly after she graduated from high school in C.E.68, Nia was given an offer she jumped to accept. The offer was an apprenticeship to Erica Simmons, Morgenroete’s Chief Engineer at the main branch in Orb.

Aspirations for the Future
As Nia was working with Morgenroete, her sister and cousin were training and preparing to join Terminal. Just after the Earth Alliance stole several blueprints and research papers from Terminal in C.E. 69, Nia had finished her time as the apprentice to Ms. Simmons, who she came to admire and respect.

She would later return to Heliopolis to attend college at the Morgenroete facility, where the Head Professor there was helping with the development of the G-series, who was also made use Nia’s skills to help in the develop mobile suits and new class of battleship using the blueprints and technology that they had stolen from Terminal.

While there, she makes quick friends of Tolle Koenig, his girlfriend, Miriallia Haw, and his two male friends Sai Argyle and Kuzzey Buskirk.

Personality and traits
Nia is pretty much like Kira in personality and in terms skills and abilities, though Kira skills are more advanced than Nia’s mainly due to her training with Terminal and under the Wizards’ tutelage.

Nia is the more feminine version of Kira and was pretty much acted like a girl, while Kira was the more mature for her age and worked hard at her grades, while Nia played around and enjoyed her childhood.
