Biography[]
Nina was turned by the werewolf McManus though she thankfully survived due to Angel's intervention. Nina struggled with her transformation and feared for her family's safety which Angel was able to empathize with as he had to maintain control over his vampiric urges and keep his own happiness in check in order to not release his evil soulless altar-ego Angelus.
Nina was so depressed that she was intending to let Jacob Crane and his clients eat her but Angel rescued her and convinced her to go on living. Angel's friend Wesley Wyndam-Pryce later convinced him the chance of his curse being broken was rather low and he began to date Nina though he didn't feel as deeply about her as he did for Buffy and Cordelia. Still Angel did genuinely care for her and attempted to arrange for her and family to leave town when he plotted against The Circle of The Black Thorn out of fear they would hurt Nina to spite him.
Nina stayed behind in LA and helped Angel's son Connor to protect innocents after Wolfram and Hart sent the city to Hell, later telling Angel she chose to help Connor to repay him for his kindness to her. When Angel learned from Gunn that Nina had gotten married he was genuinely happy for her.
