Nya

Although she was not trained as a ninja early on, Nya is very capable of defending herself. She did not like the fact that so much focus is put on the ninja, so she resolved to become a hero in her own way, which she did by becoming Samurai X, and is highly independent, desiring the choice and ability to choose her own identity and destiny. She also gets annoyed when people look at her differently because she's a girl within a prominently male group, as shown in "Infamous" and "The Mask of Deception." She dislikes being labeled by association, like "Jay's girlfriend" or "Kai's sister," choosing to be her own person. Sometimes, she gets annoyed by Kai's protectiveness, but their bond as siblings is very strong. They support each other in many ways, despite Kai remarking in Season 1 about why his sister had to tag along, which Nya took lightly. Many episodes reveal she is highly intelligent, as she was able to create the Samurai armor and several types of technology, and she was able to pinpoint the location of Serpentine Tombs. She is also more interested in fighting and training, as shown in "Wrong Place, Wrong Time," where Kai only trained to be a ninja because Nya wanted to.
