Evaluation
Pros:
 * Her Jagged Strike can be used advantageously any place in the Echovald Forest where enemies (such as the Wardens of the Winds) perform the Nature Ritual Lacerate.

Cons:
 * Point Blank Area of Effect spells, Shockwave for example, can devastate Nika, due to the fact that she deals damage through melee attacks, but is not as tough as a Tank.

Dialogue
In Kaineng City:
 * "We have much to lose if this plague is allowed to spread across the city. This place has been my life and I shall never abandon it, on my honor. Since I was first given my daggers, I have protected this city by removing those who dishonor her.


 * What did you need?"

In the Bukdek Byway, during the quest Finding The Oracle:
 * "Hello, stranger. A bit of free advice? Watch your back on these streets. You never know who might be looking to stick a knife in it. Kaineng City embraces those who know it well like a mother embracing a child... but new arrivals aren't always so lucky."

In the Shenzun Tunnels, during the quest To Tahnnakai Temple:
 * "I believe we can help one another if we work together."

In the Echovald Forest:
 * "I have never been outside of Kaineng City. Did you see that giant tree with all the windows? You should really look up often, otherwise you might miss something.


 * Did you want to talk about anything?"

When spoken to in the Divine Path:
 * "We have saved my beloved Cantha, and for that, (character name), I cannot thank you enough. It was also good to see something of the world outside of the city. It has only served to strengthen my resolve to protect the place that I love."

Quotes
Idle quotes in the Kaineng City areas:
 * "Five on one should be about fair against me, if the five are truly skilled."
 * "One does not wait for trouble to find them in this city, for it always will."
 * "We should leave. Standing here is not wise."

Idle in the Echovald Forest:
 * "I never imagined seeing such sights."

Battle quotes:
 * "Are my daggers too fast for you?"
 * "Aww, you're bleeding. Who could have done that to you?"
 * "Blink and you'll miss me."
 * "Can't we get some real competition?"
 * "Careful now."
 * "Die with honor and you will be given a place of honor in the afterlife."
 * "I'm enjoying this immensely."
 * "Your end is at hand and you don't even seem to realize it."
