Major Story Arcs

Sorcerers Supreme

Nina was collected by Merlin to aid in his fight against The Forgotten as part of the Sorcerers Supreme. She was looking for Joao, who had gone missing. Merlin promised he would take her to him despite his warning that she would not like what she found. Unfortunately, Merlin was killed by The Forgotten before he could explain her brother’s whereabouts, but first, he secretly entrusted a mysterious key to Nina that would unlock a prison cell where magic doesn’t work. With defeat imminent, a future variant of Wiccan teleports them to safety at Merlin’s headquarters, Camelot. There, they search for weapons to take on The Forgotten, but Kushala and Doctor Strange found a record of dark magic users that Merlin had been kidnapping and locking up. Those users, including Joao, combined to become The Forgotten.

When The Forgotten caught up with them, its attack angered Kushala and caused her to transform into her Demon Rider form. The Forgotten fled, and the Sorcerers Supreme chased it to the Hollow of Time. There, they were betrayed by Isaac Newton, who broke The Forgotten into all the individual dark magic users and stole their copy of the Word of God to become a god himself. With the book, he stole the Spirit of Vengeance from Kushala and locked his teammates in the cell that Nina had unlocked.

Luckily, Joao survived the disbandment of the Forgotten. He conjured a spell to knock down the prison cell walls. Nina and the other sorcerers chase down Newton to Strange’s present, however, instead of using the book to turn himself into a god, he conjured The Author of the book. After the team defeated The Author, they apprehended Newton and returned him to his own time. With her brother not doing well, Nina also quickly retreats to her own time.

Amazon: 1955

After an apocalyptic vision, Nina teleports to the Amazon Rainforest, where she finds a large portion of it on fire. Unfortunately, the fire was not the apocalypse. It was simply what humanity had done to the Amazon. The apocalypse would come from Anhangá, a malevolent Brazilian spirit, who wants vengeance for what's happened to the Earth. Nina attempted to prove that humanity is worth saving despite this setback. She went as far as to bind her soul to the Brazilian spirit as a show of good faith. Anhangá wants to believe, so they accept Nina's sacrifice for now.
