Nina

Nina is the best friend of Marianne Bryant, the enemy of Olive Penderghast, and one of the many students of Mr. Griffith.

She can frequently be seen on the campus of North Ojai High School with Marianne "spreading the good word of the Lord".

She more than likely comes from a religious family, like her friends Marianne and Micah.

Her famous scene is when her English class is talking about The Scarlet Letter and Nina explains to Mr. Griffith that the protagonist of the story, Hester Prynne, brought getting pregnant by the town minister on herself, and it was her fault that she got pregnant.

Then she cals Olive an "abominable tramp" and that she should embroider a red A on her wardrobe. Olive, in retaliation, tells Nina to get a wardrobe, and calls her an "abominable twat". Olive is then sent to the principal's office.

Nina is mentioned one more time in a conversation with Mr. Griffith and Olive. Mr. Griffith, in the conversation, claims to hate Nina.
