Description
Physical appearance
Nexus Girl appeared as a young humanoid woman, 5’ 2" tall, (PROSE: Nexus Girl Bio) with red irises, bubblegum-pink skin, golden hair tied up in a high ponytail, and prominent cheekbones. She wore a golden diadem set with a crimson gem at all times, even when in otherwise-casual dress. Her black, form-fitting superhero outfit kept her upper arms and legs are, as well as including “windows” on her cleavage and midriff. On the other hand, it included gloves that went up to her elbows. After merging with the Spawnling, Nexi's skin turned blue and her eyes pure-white, but she remained otherwise true to her previous appearance. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)
Personality
Nexus Girl was a calm, benevolent hero. She had great loyalty to, and love for, her friends at Section P, and a sufficiently-strong sense of identity that upon initially bonding with her, the Spawnling's sense of self subsumed itself into hers, with it entirely aligning with her goals, friends and foes. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1) Prior to being forced to mature by this event, she had been described as “happy and carefree”, bordering on “a little childish”. Nexus Girl's likes included “puppies, gossip magazines, swimsuits and beaches”, while her dislikes included “cold weather, snow, and swearing”, with being frozen to death being one of her greatest fears, alongside “hurting her friends or an innocent life”. (PROSE: Nexus Girl Bio) She was sexually interested in women. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
Powers & abilities
Nexus Girl possessed many powers including levitation and hurling non-lethal but powerful bolts of glowing energy from her hands, sufficient to send a symbiote-infused Kate Five crashing through a wall. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1) The “focal point” of Nexi's power was the Nexus Stone in her tiara, which “harnesse[d] a primal magic power from the universe itself”.

Biography
Origins
Nexus Girl was found as a child in Angel Falls. Assuming her to be an “alien orphan”, the Guardians got in touch with other handlers of the bizarre and supernatural, and ultimately struck an argument with Sir James Carey that he would handle the raising of the girl. (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio) One account claimed that she was the child of bounty hunters from a planetoid in the Alpha Centaury system, who was left stranded there after her parents foolishly visited Wales in search of work and, weakened by the cold, were killed by local gangsters. As their last act, they purportedly used the Nexus Stone to wipe out their killers before passing it on to Nexi. (PROSE: Nexus Girl Bio)
In Section P
Nexus Girl was raised in secret and “relative safety” by Sir James Carey's superhero team Section P. (PROSE: Nexus Girl Bio) Once she was old enough, she joined in earnest. She befriended fellow young women Kate Five and Battle Angel, with the three often spending girls-nights-in together, and even forming a Sunday Night Roleplay Club during which they played games like Dungeons & Dragons. With the three training and even showering together, Kate, who was struggling with her sexuality despite loudly considering herself straight, developed something of an attraction to Nexi, although she mostly had a crush on Battle Angel. (PROSE: Kate Five Extended Bio)
Merging with Eros
One evening, while patrolling the streets of Cardiff, Kate Five became possessed by an alien symbiote which amplified the darkness in her subconscious. Concealing her state, the possessed Kate returned to Section P's HQ, where the symbiote directed her to overpower Taki and assault her, planting the seed of a new alien within her. Growing within moments, the new, blue-coloured creature attempted to bond with Taki's body, but she managed to throw it off and it hid down the shower drain. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)
Nexus Girl heard the commotion and arrived on the scene, attempting to figure out what was happening between Kate and Taki, only to be taken by surprise by the new symbiote and bond with it. Kate and the black symbiote were unable to persuade the symbiotic hybrid of Nexus Girl and the blue alien to listen to them, however, with the bonded Nexi instead electing to protect Taki, whom they saw as their mother. Blasted into the next room, the symbiote-bonded Kate killed veteran Section P member Aqua Marine as she made her escape. After her disappearance, Nexus Girl and her new symbiote bond-partner pledged to remain loyal to Nexi's friends and to help them track down Kate Five and separate her from the villainous symbiote. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 1)
The Hunt for Kate Five
Six months after her transformation, (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 2) Kate Five ended up in Angel Falls, where she nearly killed Guardian Ms. Blitzen. After the battle was over, Sir James Carey, Battle Angel and Nexus Girl visited Ms. Blitzen in hospital to try to get more information about Kate's newfound capabilities. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 3)
Shortly after Kate's rampage in Angel Falls, she was smuggled out of containment by an unknown party (secretly her twin sister Kimmy). After a few weeks of no news surfacing (as Kate was being held captive and studied by her sister), Nexus Girl and Battle Angel returned to Angel Falls, visting the Bleeding Rose in the hope of picking up her trail after she'd disappeared once again. Spotting them instantly among his patrons, Marcus had Lori tell Battle Angel to speak with him. Meanwhile, the Eros-bonded Nexi, who was unfamiliar with such a seedy environment, was persuaded by two women to join them in a sexual encounter, later being embarrassed at how easily she had been convinced to do so. At any rate, though Marcus initially tried to convince Battle Angel that Kate was a lost cause, he was impressed with Battle Angel's insistence that her friend was still good deep down and merely driven to evil acts by the Symbiote's insistence. Deeming her passionate loyalty “refreshing”, he agreed to help the heroines. (COMIC: Kate Five vs Symbiote - Chapter 4)
