Personality: Even before learning about Midgard, Nadia grew up with big expectations in front of her. Since Gabriel died when she was four years old, she never really got to know her father, but she nevertheless found herself growing up in his shadow, just hearing about him. This was only cemented harder when she found out about Gundam Freya - she was to be the leader of a team of mobile suit elites, just like her father. Her lack of a clear image of the man whose shoes she felt like she was trying to fill only made him seem more intimidating, which is part of what led to her apathy towards the role when she started college.
This reluctance on Nadia’s part throws her into a lot of confusion and internal conflict when she finds herself suddenly falling into her Gundam without warning or preparation. She feels wholly unprepared for and undeserving of the responsibility she’s had thrust upon her. She initially sees the other, more experienced pilots as something she can never compare to due to her lack of experience. She gets nervous, and when she does, she reacts by lashing out, sometimes irrationally, at the people around her.
At the start of season 1, Nadia is idealistic to the point of naivety. She considers herself and her allies on the White Chalice to be the Good Guys, and the people they’re fighting to be the Bad Guys. She doesn’t really deeply believe in the possibility of the good guys losing, so the first time she tastes defeat, loss, or the death of an ally, it affects her deepy. Unaccustomed to tragedy, she reacts to it by walling off her emotions and focusing on completing her day-to-day missions to the point of obsession. Ultimately, though, she can’t keep her emotions sealed away forever, and the walls break, forcing her to face reality and grow up a little.
By the beginning of season 2, Nadia is starting to get a better idea of what the Earth Sphere is really like - in her eyes, that means huge, unpredictable, fragile, and beyond her control. The last point is the big one - Nadia wants to change something, create something memorable in a world filled with cruelty and strife, but she doesn’t think this is possible. Two things change this - the world’s insane extremist supervillains, and her own allies. The great evils of the world are men more than capable of changing the Earth Sphere on their own - by destruction. Meanwhile, the great heroes fighting alongside her change it by opposing the evils - stopping a change for the worse. But even that isn’t enough for Nadia; she wants to change things for the better, not just keep them from getting worse. That’s why she opposes Yggdrasil - to cut down the cage they’re building, and open a path towards freedom for those living in space.
