Nadira

The Rom Nadira befriends Matt Cruse and accompanies him on his voyage to the Hyperion, with the hopes gaining money, so she can escape her arranged marriage. She is often prejudiced by Hal Slater and Miss Simpkins (Kate's chaperone). She then is injured on the Hyperion by a strange machine; thus scraping death, but remains strong and saves the crew by firing a flare into the sky signaling the Sagarmatha (the "Skybreaker" airship used to get to the Hyperion). Nadira is Vikram Szpirglas' daughter. Vikram Szpirglas was a notorious pirate who boarded the Aurora in Airborn; he was killed by a cloud cat.
