About

She claims that she was diagnosed with cancer in 1997, which took her arm. However, in Walter's recollection of 1985, she damaged her arm when she reached through the portal to the alternate universe to try and stop Walter from kidnapping Peter. At some point after that she lost her arm and had it replaced with a robotic arm designed by William Bell and Massive Dynamic. She was shot in the chest (The Road Not Taken) and robbed of the powerful energy cell hidden in her robotic arm. She has Kevlar components (There's More Than One Of Everything) in the sternum region of her chest that helped her survive being shot. Technicians from Massive Dynamic returned function to her arm when she was in the hospital recovering from the gunshot wound to her chest. She attributes Sam Weiss with helping her recover (Night Of Desirable Objects) from the loss, and replacement, of her arm.

• In Subject 9, she grants Olivia and Astrid access to the archived Cortexiphan records maintained at Massive Dynamic, then takes Olivia aside for a little maternal advice and TLC.
• In Novation, she briefs Agent Lee and Olivia on former employee Malcolm Truss and the biotech project he ran for William Bell. She travels to Walter's to lab to make amends over their bitter history since Reiden Lake, and to encourage Walter to help Peter with his quest to return to his own timeline.
• In Wallflower, in the new timeline, apparently having raised Olivia and Rachel after the loss of their parents, Nina leads an attack on Olivia in her apartment to surreptitiously inject her with Cortexiphan.
