Nina Lecerf, a platonic ideal of librarians.

Personality

Her function is her passion and raison d'être. Regularly gives book recommendations and can seemingly tell what book someone might have read.

Has stereotypical librarian behaviors, such as shushing people<ref>“Shh,” Nina whispered, holding a finger to her lips.  She indicated the books. - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.5</ref> and has a fondness for tea.

If occupants of a library are stressed she may reflect this stress.<ref>he end of the hallway near all the storage rooms and stuff had students sitting in the hall.  As they walked by the library, Verona could see that students had taken up residence at tables, and there was a tension in there that was like what was in the hallway, if just a bit quieter.  The librarian Nina looked stressed, picking at her cuticles with her fingernails. - Excerpt from Cutting Class 6.6</ref>

Relationships

Zed

Was bound by Zed in a mutual deal to 'modernize' herself.<ref>“She’s bound, right?” Verona asked.  “You had to let her out, and you only did it for a short time.  Then she’s stuck again?”

“It was a mutual deal,” Zed said.  “I offered her access to a trove of material online, and to help her figure it out and adapt her.  After ten years, she can decide to abort or renew.”

“As a thingy of knowledge and whatever, is she even capable of saying no and ending the contract?” Lucy asked.  “Or does she have to take the option where she’s bound for longer?”
[...]
“Just so you know, Nina does have a choice,” Zed said.  “And she chose to be bound.”

“Okay,” Lucy said.  She didn’t flinch or anything.  “That’s good.” - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.4</ref> Seems fine with Zed as he is.<ref name=":1"/>

Snowdrop

Happy to help her find books she likes as a new reader. It is unknown if nina is aware that Snowdrop burned the BHI library.

Appearance

General librarian look, style and time period is hard to discern.

Abilities and Art

As a librarian animus she has a special relationship to information. She can rapidly search through vast stores of it, including reading through computer files;<ref name=":1">{UNBOUND}

Hello Zoe.
>Hello Nina. It’s Zed now. Hello Zed.
I need some knowledge. I live for knowledge. :)
Pass phrase, said out loud. Past pass phrases included ‘Keep on Chooglin’, ‘Mama Tried Hardest’, and ‘Bancroft by the river’. I’m up against seven Others who resemble the seven dwarves. I’m thinking women related to the Snow White animation. He likes the ladies. Can I dig?
>Dig through my computer. Less than a minute left. On it~~
>If you need to intuit Ray’s way of thinking & speaking, check his emails to me. Usual rules about privacy.
& forgetting the personal details.
I don’t care about those anyhow
>20 seconds.
‘Doris Day was the last one singing’ - Out on a Limb bonus - SunnyDay Logs</ref> She is fond of restoring and replaces damaged books as that is fundamental to her self.<ref name=":2">Alexander approached.  He smiled at the woman.  “Would you be interested in doing us a favor, Nina?  Restoring what you can, and binding new books to replace the ones you can’t?” The woman held both hands over her heart, and there was a faint paper sound, as if she had papers inside the breast of that suitcoat that was so fitted it could be a corset.  “May I?”
[...]
“She’s an Animus,” Zed said.  “A librarian in this case.  A conservator and collector of knowledge.  Her entire existence as an Other was and is books.  Visiting old bookstores, antique stores, auctions… sitting in libraries every night, making her own books or painstakingly copying tomes getting too old to be readable.” - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.4</ref>

Has a control of paper as well as all information.

Trivia

• Nina may have chosen her name from a character in The Real Life of Sebastian Knight who used the name as an alias while dealing with the protagonist.
  • Lecerf means deer in french
