Editing Nailbiter (section)

==Personality==
She had a violent history as a cape, villainous enough to be rapidly imprisoned in the Birdcage.<ref name=5.2e2>I had worries, but they were ones I’d rather not voice aloud.  Nailbiter had a history that had seen her arrested and sentenced harshly, without much delay.  Post-Gold Morning, she’d settled back into her role as a violent cape, serving as what might have been Beast of Burden’s second in command.<br/><br/>She was calmer than she’d been reported to be in the one article I’d been able to dig out of my boxes of notes, part of an article from a magazine, listing the Birdcage’s residents at the time.  The last page of the article, annoyingly, hadn’t been preserved.  I’d pulled the page out for whatever article or image was on the other side.<br/><br/>Either way, violent, as might have been expected for an ex-con with rusty nails instead of teeth.  Prison and nine years might have changed her a bit from the person described in the article, but I doubted Colt was in good hands.<br/><br/>“Okay,” I said.  “We don’t want to ignore this.  I’ll make some calls later.  I’ll see what I can find on Nailbiter.  She was from North Carolina, I think, and some of their capes are still around.  I’d have to track down a veteran.  We’ll see what we’re up against.  If I get a chance, I’ll have a conversation with her.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/02/27/shadow-5-2/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.2]]</ref> She may have mellowed out since then and was more than willing to accept help from unpowered people.<ref name="5.2e1"/> Was willing to forgive [[Damsel of Distress II]] for murdering [[Beast of Burden]]. She was fairly intelligent and noticed that Damsel had some connection to [[Victoria]] and her team.<ref name=5.11e1>“There it is,” Nailbiter said, in that eerie voice with its whistles and hisses of breath through teeth.<br/><br/>“There what is?” Sidepiece asked.<br/><br/>“Our hooded girl here called Damsel by her real name.”<br/><br/>“There’s a history,” I said, at nearly the same time as Damsel said, “History.”<br/><br/>“Uh huh,” Nailbiter said, disbelieving.  “The timing’s off.  When these guys showed up.  When you did.”<br/><br/>Damsel spoke without taking her eyes off me, “She probably came after me.  I fought her family in Boston.  My second trip, a while later, I fought her boss in the Protectorate.”<br/><br/>“Not my boss,” I said.<br/><br/>“No?”<br/><br/>“I wasn’t a Ward for long, and he wasn’t in charge at the time.”<br/><br/>Damsel shrugged, very easily and casually, as if she wasn’t standing over the body of the man she’d murdered. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/03/31/shadow-5-11/ Excerpt] from [[Shadow 5.11]]</ref>

She has a killer's instinct, willing to use lethal force, or at least the threat of it.<ref name=5.3e5/>
===Relationships===
====Impressionable children====
Has people like [[Colt]] working for her.
====[[Love Lost]]====
Had a working relationship with the villainess. Continued to do so after the disastrous assault on the fallen.

Like BoB before her Nailbiter has become a kind of second of command to Love Lost.
====[[Damsel of Distress II]]====
Worked with the young villainess but was genuinely suspicious of her.<ref name=5.11e1/>
