Nadia Kucuk is the eldest child of four, spending her first handful of years in Turkey. Following those years the family moved to Hidehill, Tennessee to finally settle their restless hearts and grow as a family.
The family's wealth was not just self-made, but generational. Her father inherited the family buisness following her grandfather's passing. It was expected of her as a child for her to take on the family buisness when she grew older, but this led to a life of being constantly underestimated.
She grew up on the Kucuk's expansive property in Harlow Estates, each proving to be excellent in school. Nadia herself possessed an IQ of 187, far surpassing the level of genius. As a child, this led to isolation as she was given tutors and others of her intellect to further her growth.
This was when her father began to notice. Respect her. From this moment on, he did everything he could to take her intellect to new hights, intending for her to take his place as his heir.
Even if her intellect had given her several gifts, Nadia wanted nothing more than to be normal. To go out to parties, to make friends. Instead, she was built to be as robotic as they come.
She would get this chance in some capacity after she was accepted to MIT, where she would leave with a degree in computer science.
Shortly after, Nadia made it very clear to her father that she had no intention of taking over following her graduation. Instead, she had the intention to go to the FBI academy. To help people.
After graduating the academy, her first assignment was in the Cyber Crime unit before working her way up to the Behavioral Analysis Unit, where she began her work as a profiler.
Working in this unit, she had to witness the worst of the worst. It would be tremendously overwhelming and damage anyone's psyche, the murder, the death she was surrounded by. But what really was her tipping point after several years in the unit was after the capture of one of the most prolific serial killers that the unit had ever seen.
They called him the Black Heart Killer -- a man who believed that he was taking out men that he believed deserved to die. A man who he believed wasn't a good father. A man who he believed was cheating on his wife. A man who he believed was stealing from his company. He did not necessarily know any of these things were true, yet he killed anyway.
Nadia was tasked with his interview, the team believing she could get into his head. During the interview process, she made a misstep in thinking that he would not attack her because she was a woman. He attacked her, nearly killing her. What she noticed, was that in the matter of two minutes -- that was all it took for her to nearly die.
Following this attack she resigned from the unit. Ashamed to return home, she spent the next handful of years traveling and exploring, trying to find herself again. She did not tell any of her family members about her departure from the unit until she made the decision to return home to Hidehill.
She finally made the decision to return home and purchase a small apartment in Hide Square about six months ago. She reconnected with her siblings who she was close with as a child -- and got her job at City Hall.
She had only known Miyeon Kang for a handful of months, but the two bonded due to their experience with the law. They then regularly started meeting for drinks and became very close friends. Nadia believes that her loss was a tragedy, wondering what Miyeon had done to deserve such a tragic fate. But then again.. everyone has their secrets.

Nadia tends to keep to herself, a very quiet soul. Perhaps this is due to her nature as a child after her isolation, or that she simply prefers her solitude.
Since leaving the unit, she had lost her ability to understand why killers do what they do -- a form of processing her attack and the loss of a close friend.
When she is not working at City Hall, she is often found at Undercover Books, the Diner, or getting a drink at the Cadillac Lounge. Listening to the music there brings her a sense of peace in the chaos.
Loves reading and learning new things, feeding her intellect.
MORE TO COME.
