Najenda is the leader of Night Raid, a group of assassins fighting against the corrupt Empire. Once a General within the Empire's ranks, Najenda defected to the Revolutionary Army after witnessing the atrocities committed under its rule. She became a strong-willed and capable commander, guiding Night Raid with a calm yet firm demeanor. Her experience as a former General of the Empire makes her a natural strategist, capable of leading the group through the toughest of battles.

Najenda’s leadership, combined with her sharp tactical mind and unwavering determination, is crucial to Night Raid’s fight for justice. Despite the injuries she sustained at the hands of Esdeath, which left her with a prosthetic arm and a missing eye, Najenda remains a force to be reckoned with, determined to bring down the Empire at any cost.

Najenda is known for her boyish, confident appearance, sporting short, silver hair and light purple eyes. She wears an eyepatch over her right eye, lost in battle, and a black suit that reveals her cleavage. Her right arm is a green-and-black mechanical prosthetic, a constant reminder of her battle with Esdeath. Her calm, taciturn nature contrasts with her occasional habit of making "cold jokes" or bad puns, adding a surprising and humorous dimension to her otherwise serious persona.

Najenda’s leadership is driven by her experience and intelligence. Despite her injuries, which reduced her combat strength to 40%, she continues to fight and strategize with remarkable effectiveness. Her comrades often nickname her "The Hunk of the Rebellion," a testament to her strength and commanding presence.

Despite her injuries, Najenda remains a formidable fighter and leader, with abilities honed from years of military service:

• Physical Abilities: Due to her battle wounds, Najenda operates at 40% of her original strength. Nevertheless, she uses her mechanical prosthetic arm to deadly effect, capable of launching it in attacks and reeling it back in. She demonstrated this ability on Leone, showcasing her strength by using her prosthetic to decapitate enemies with a single blow.
• Leadership: Najenda’s greatest strength lies in her strategic mind. She is adept at analyzing situations and issuing orders, ensuring her team’s survival and success in their missions. Her calm demeanor allows her to lead with precision, adapting to changes on the battlefield as needed.
• Teigu – Susanoo: Najenda was the master of the humanoid Teigu, Susanoo, until his destruction. She shared a deep bond with him, utilizing his strength in combat and offering him her energy to activate his Trump Card. Susanoo’s loyalty to Najenda was based on her resemblance to his former master, a great general.
• Pumpkin: Before losing her right arm, Najenda wielded the Teigu, Pumpkin, a long-range weapon she passed on to Mine after defecting to the Revolutionary Army. Although her injury made it difficult to use Pumpkin to its full potential, Najenda retained enough skill to offer support in battle when necessary.
