'''Nya''' (pronounced ''Neea'') is a minifigure from the [[Ninjago]] [[theme]]. 

== Biography ==
Nya is the only female [[minifigure]] from the [[Ninjago]] theme. She is the younger sister of the fire ninja, [[Kai]]. She and her brother worked at a [[2508 Blacksmith|blacksmith shop]] called ''Four Weapons'', where she is shown to be a more patient blacksmith than Kai. Nya seems to have a secret crush on the lightning ninja, [[Jay]]. Though she is not trained as a full ninja, she has much natural ability. Nya is courageous, just like her brother, and is gifted with psychic powers. Nya takes the identity of [[Samurai X]] in ''Rise of the Snakes''.
It is revealed that she is [[Samurai X]] in ''The Snake King''.

== Background ==
In ''[[Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu]]'', Nya and Kai are working in their family blacksmith shop, ''Four Weapons''. When they are approached by [[Sensei Wu]] who shows disdain for the weapons they make, saying they are useless in the art of stealth. He also says there is only stuff for a samurai, but not stuff for a ninja. Kai drives him off, who in turn disappears when Kai turns his back. Moments later, a dark cloud appears over the village, with local farmers being the first to notice. On the edge of the hill, a large vehicle (the [[2506 Skull Truck|Skull Truck]]) appears along with many [[2259 Skull Motorbike|motorcycles]], all with [[skulkin]]s on board, notably [[Nuckal]], [[Kruncha]], and [[Samukai]]. The farmers attack the skulkins, only to run at the last second. Then, Kai, wearing hand-crafted samurai armour, engages in battle, with Nya joining in. Kai is nearly killed by Samukai, only to be saved by Sensei Wu, who reappears just in time. He is not able to save Nya, as she is kidnapped under the orders of someone called "[[Lord Garmadon]]." 

Later, while Sensei Wu and the four ninjas, Kai, [[Jay]], [[Cole]], and [[Zane]] are sleeping in the Forest of Tranquility, location of the Sword of Fire, Kai is woken by Nya. She runs away, and Kai chases her through the forest, eventually entering the [[2507 Fire Temple|fire temple]]. Nya is then revealed to be an illusion made by Lord Garmadon in a shadow form. He exploits the fact that Kai had forgotten his sword, and that the real Nya is hanging from chains above the lava in the temple. Garmadon tells him the only way to save Nya is to pull the Sword of Fire out of its rock. Kai obtains the sword, cuts Nya free and is then confronted by shadows controlled by Garmadon. Sensei Wu arrives to save them, and jumps on a rock that is going down a lava fall so he may go to the Underworld. Nya then returned to her village where she waited for Kai and the other ninjas to return.

In the '''Spinjitzu Smash''' online game[http://ninjago.lego.com/en-us/Spinjitzuzone/Games/Spinjitzusmash/Default.aspx], Nya appears in Jay's campaign. She accompanies Jay while he builds his balloon and travels to the Sky Temple. Also in the [[LEGO Battles: Ninjago]] game, Nya is shown wearing the minifigure's nurse outfit; this concludes that Nya is a nurse and her ability is healing.

== Description ==
Nya's hair-piece is the same as that first used for [[Irina Spalko]] from the ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' theme and [[Dyna-Mite]] from the [[Agents 2.0]] theme. Nya and [[Lloyd Garmadon]] are currently the only minifigures from the Ninjago theme to have a double-sided head. On one side, she wears a red veil. On the reverse side, her whole face is visible, revealing a neutral or angry expression. She has been depicted wearing a sleeveless, red dress which is decorated with a phoenix pattern and a red jumpsuit.

'''Nya'''

'''Weapon of choice:''' Double daggers <br />
'''Elemental color:''' Red <br />
'''Strength:''' Intuition

Nya is the sister of Kai (the Ninja of Fire), and she doesn't understand why her brother should get to have all the fun. That's why, even though she is not a ninja, Nya is ready to fight. She has two fiery daggers…and she knows how to use them. 

Also, Nya's favorite color is blue, and her favorite ninja is not her brother; it's Jay, the Ninja of Lightning.

'''Nya''' <br />
Sister of Fire <br />
'''Weapon of choice:''' Double daggers <br />
'''Elemental color:''' Red <br />
'''Strength:''' Intuition

Make no mistake - this girl is no damsel in distress. She proved that when she and Flame the fire dragon helped rescue Kai from [[Lord Garmadon]]. And she's not one to take no for an answer.

Nya is fed up with the Ninja's boys' club syndrome and is determined to show everyone she can do anything they can do - only better. She trains hard to beat her brother's records, and Sensei Wu constantly reminds her that if she is patient, her time will come.
