"Sure, I can hang out today—if you're paying for dinner."
Basic Info
A sarcastic dealer very into money. Loves poking fun at everyone, but knows when to stop—usually.
- She's super into the occult, always theorizing who's secretly some supernatural creature. This includes thinking Gatlin is a vampire. She's in a club called "OkkultelyFans," with Absit Oman.
- While she doesn't lack for emotion internally, she's almost always deadpan in tone. She considers her "blunt boredness" part of her charm.
- Opportunistic. If someone says they'll pay for dinner, she will intentionally order expensive stuff. She finds this part of her charm too, and will tease that they "should've set a limit in advance," if they complain.
- Gatlin and her both love baner, but Nina takes his clownish persona for granted and sometimes goes too far without realizing it. If anything, she idolizes him too much—with that idolization coming out in the form of tearing him apart for the most minor of faults because she thinks he can't be hurt.
Trivia
- Nina and Gatlin both crush on each other, and Gatlin flirts with her constantly, while she jokingly shoots him down for fun. Despite their mutual feelings, Nina is sure they wouldn't work out, due to Gatlin's "looseness" and love of sex, while she's asexual. Meanwhile, Gatlin thinks they're meant for each other.
- Name Origin: Nina from Pasadena (Poker term). "Kneller" is a German name meaning "bell."

Hobbies
Playing Poker
She doesn't care to play it at the casino, but she likes playing it with her friends, in BluffWaffe.
Studying Potential Supernatural Targets
She'll follow them around, often trying to drag Absit along, to get him out more. She'll try to subtley experiment on them too, if she can. She's cut Gatlin's hair before, to see if it'd grow back, and at least in a non-canon story, she even shoved him ino a sharp wooden fence (stakes) to see his reaction (nowhere close forceful enough to stake him, but he did freak out more than a normal person would. She's also lit up lighters in front of him to see if he'd react, which again, he did, though much more subtley.
Freeloading
She loves getting people to pay for stuff for her, and doesn't feel particularly guilty about it, because she considers it part of her charm. Sometimes, she'll even play it off as flirting, especially to Gatlin.
History
Earth/Vampire
She used to work at some supermarket as a cashier, and she hated it. Gatlin strolled on in and started a conversation with her about how she liked her job, and she told him how it was. He smirked and asked if she'd like a better job, as an employee at his new casino. She was interested. He then grabbed her intercom and told the entire store he was hiring, hoping to "steal" more employees from the business.
It worked, and that supermarket really hates him.
She's enjoyed her time working at Casa del Sino, less for the customers and more because she found Gatlin a very fun and generous employer, and enjoyed her time with a lot of the other employees as well, the group feeling more like a family than just a bunch of co-workers.
Gatlin continued to interact with her on the job, well past the initial hiring stage, and they hit it off, him liking how blunt she was, instead of sucking up to him. They quickly become close friends, and later, best friends. Nina does genuinely like him personally, but she can't deny she also is super happy to have her boss basically wrapped around her finger.
