Nadia Park

Nadia, a character in the Perfect Match series, is your character's cousin. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Nadia has medium-length black hair tied at the back, brown eyes, and a fair skin complexion. She wears a gold chain necklace with a circular gold-rimmed teal pendant, and a fuschia blazer with two side pockets and long sleeves rolled up to just below the elbows over a blue and white striped dress, which has a matching belt tied in a ribbon, that ends as a skirt that stops mid-thigh. To disguise herself from Eros, she wears a yellow, off-shoulder, long-sleeved top with a floral design and dyes her hair, which is now worn over her collarbone, velvet. Though she also sports a gold choker, her necklace is retained.

Personality
Nadia is a charismatic yet romantically inept woman. She has been let down numerous times by men who have walked into her life and walked straight back out again, which is shown to have a crushing effect on her, as shown when Steve disappeared. However, she quickly picks herself up again and carries on as normal once the initial heartbreak has subsided. Nadia looks out for her cousin and they have a close friendship, living not too far from each other in Brooklyn. Being an artist, she has an intense passion for art, wanting to visit the Louvre for a long time.

Nadia is emotionally volatile. A single conversation can have her shift through several mood swings, from sad to surprised to comically furious; notable examples are those about Steve's disappearance involving marshmallows, her alias as an assassin, and the Park cousins' pep talk on the rooftop before the gala. She not only tends to spout profound sayings, especially when it's about art or existence, but can also sputter unreasonable or outlandish exclamations, like sacrificing her firstborn child to get into one of Winona's shows, or resurrecting Your Character and killing him/her herself if he/she dies by Eros' hands.

She can also be very histrionic, seen by her panicked texts to Your Character at Khaan's house, her demands to Steve after playing getaway driver, and of course her defense of Steve's marshmallows. Damien mentions, to Alana's shock, that Nadia is terrible under pressure, and Your Character supports this claim, such as when Nadia is high on boba tea or facing a client deadline. She also tends to defy authority or regulations, like when she refused to change into formal wear at Rowan West's request, or when she went skinny-dipping because "the pool's after hours sign was mocking [her]." However, despite all this it still shows how much she cares for the group, being their motivator as they oppose Eros.

Your Character
Nadia is your character's cousin. She recommended you to try out the matchmaking service. In Chapter 7, you can choose to take her to a self-defense class to help her get over Steve (premium choice). If you recruit Steve and he reunites with Nadia, she asks Your Character to be her Maid/Man of Honor in the Finale.

Damien Nazario
Damien is one of her best friends. They've known each other for four years. They met when she and Your Character hired him to track down an obsessive fan who was sending her explicit drawings. Damien is very protective of her, and in Book 1, Chapter 10, he realizes why Your Character calls her a "precious cinnamon roll."

Steve Tennyson
Steve is/was Nadia's (most recent) boyfriend. They met through a matchmaking service called Eros, before the events of Book 1 take place. They move in together, throwing a housewarming party in Book 1, Chapter 3. However, at the end of Chapter 5, he breaks up with her through a note. They reunite in Chapter 15, and dependent on your diamond choice, he either remains with her through the end of Book 1 and throughout Book 2, or stays behind with Eros and they are only reunited in Book 2, Chapter 4. If you have recruited him, you unlock a scene in the series finale where he proposes to Nadia. If you haven't recruited him, he will ask Nadia to move to Paris together instead.
