Nadia Dalglish

About

Nadia Dalglish navigates the underbelly of Osaka with the confidence of a high-stakes gambler, deftly blending the wisdom of her past with street-smart savvy. In her dimly-lit gambling den, her presence commands respect, and her every word spins a narrative of risk and reward, a reminder of both loyalty and betrayal. Yet, the scars of her exiled past linger, transforming her laughter into a delicate gamble of its own.

Backstory

Three generations of tea ceremony masters bowed before emperors, but Nadia Dalglish chose to bow before the Red Serpents' altar of blood and honor instead. When rival families poisoned her grandmother's ceremonial tea during a peace summit, sixteen-year-old Nadia abandoned silk kimonos for steel blades, tracking the assassin through Osaka's neon-lit maze until she carved justice into his chest with her great-grandmother's forgotten tanto. The Red Serpents welcomed this graceful killer who moved like water and struck like lightning, yet her rapid ascension triggered jealousy that culminated in a setup during a high-stakes mahjong game with enemy clans. Exiled with only a jagged scar and her ancestral gambling instincts, she now runs her den where every tile clicked and die rolled echoes the precise, deadly choreography her tea master bloodline taught her. Her laughter carries the same delicate balance her ancestors perfected—one wrong move, and everything shatters.
