The only reason Nina agreed to be the Student Council's treasurer was Lelouch. Lelouch, unlike many others, intrigued her. Usually, she doesn't pay attention to any of the other students but Lelouch was different; he was an enigma to her, and she being the curious person she was, wanted to learn more about him. She was in the same class as him in all their middle school years, and so far, for her first year of high school. They didn't really talk much, even if they sat next to each other (much to the dismay of the other girls, and a couple of the boys in class who wanted the seat next to him), and when they did, it was mostly about schoolwork.

It was obvious to her and the rest of the class that Lelouch was a genius; looking at his exam results was enough proof. She, despite being a member of Mensa herself, was amazed by the extent of his knowledge, whenever he decides to show it. He could easily be the top ranked student in their year only if he did all of his work, and since he rarely did, it was the Stadtfeld heiress who got the honour (another genius, seeing as the girl is not usually in school due to an illness-Nina is only ranked second because she did poorly in English and in P. E. class; she would rather deal with numbers rather than letters). She did wonder what he did in his spare time that resulted in the neglect of his schoolwork. She assumed that he spent his time with his girlfriend, or a job, but she didn't expect it to be spent caring for and doting on his sister.

His sister, Nunnally, was easily the sweetest girl in the whole school. The good looks seem to run in the family as Nunnally was also one of the most beautiful girls in the campus, and as a result, the recipient of crushes from boys in the middle school department (much to Lelouch's dismay).

It saddened her when she realized that the sweet, kind girl will never be able to walk alongside her doting brother, and that she'll never see his kind and gentle smile that was reserved for her alone. Nina overheard that Nunnally was crippled and blinded because of a terrorist attack; she is sure it was those filthy Elevens' fault. Only those barbarians would dare harm a girl as sweet as Nunnally.

Even she would admit that Lelouch is very good looking. However, unlike many of the girls, she wasn't interested in him in a romantic way (maybe if he was a girl? He'd make a very beautiful one for sure). She did like his voice though. It was strong, smooth, and commanding; hearing his voice calmed her down. However, with Nunnally, it can be only be described as gentle and loving. He was very eloquent too. Nina remembered him talking to one of the teachers, and who he convinced to let him off the hook for not doing his homework. That, in addition to his good looks and his charisma, made Lelouch Ashford Academy's "Most Eligible Bachelor" since he entered the Academy, not that he cared.

She wondered who their parents were. Judging by the regal air about the siblings, the perfectly refined features, the grace in their every move, their exquisite manners, and the way they spoke, Nina would bet her entire savings that the two are from a noble family. It just wouldn't make sense if the two are commoners, since they stand out too much to be a commoner like Nina, whose only claim to fame was her grandfather Albert, a well-known physicist who worked for the Pendragon Institute for Advanced Study after immigrating to Britannia from the EU. Nina even tried searching them up, but either Lelouch was really just a commoner as the Britannian Birth Registry website states, or Lelouch had already erased all major traces of his family's existence (Nina wouldn't be surprised if Lelouch had the ability to hack into government websites). It named Marianne Lamperouge as the mother, with no mention of a father. She died in a car accident seven years ago. That was it. No other relatives, just the two of them. For some reason, something was off, but Nina couldn't put her finger on what it was.

It's not just his familial background she was curious about, she also wondered why he was willing to be Madam President's subordinate. He can easily win an election against her if he so wished; just a few words from that silver tongue of his can convince the entire student body, and perhaps even the faculty, to vote for him. Except for the P.E. teacher, especially after that incident. Truthfully speaking, she thinks he can convince anyone to do anything for him. That silver tongue got him out of many situations, many of which involve the teachers of classes he skips, and the ex-boyfriends and boyfriends of Lelouch's fan girls.


Nina knew some people wondered how she became a student council member, when she wasn't exactly popular like Madam President and Lelouch.

As she said before, it was because of Lelouch. Lelouch came up to her at the beginning of their first year of high school and asked if she'd be willing to be the treasurer, as she was good with numbers, and because he can't do the budget on his own, seeing as he has other duties as Vice President and that there were literally hundreds of clubs in the academy. She agreed because she owed him one, as he was the one to help her acquire her research funding.

The Dallas Research Institute, with funding from Prince Schneizel himself, was accepting requests for funding from upcoming high school students across the empire. She had to write a request that needed to be good enough to convince representatives from the Dallas Research Institute to pick her as one of the ten students that would receive funding.

Unfortunately, she wasn't very good with words, and so, her English teacher recommended asking Lelouch for help, as he's not very good with science. The teacher, Mr. Chaucer-Fleming, told him that if he helped Nina with her essay, that the teacher would read it, and if it was good, he'd forget about Lelouch's missed assignments. Lelouch thought it over for a moment, and agreed with one condition, that his name wouldn't be mentioned if she did get the funding.

Accepting Lelouch's help was the best decision of her life. It not only gave her the funding she needed, the Dallas Research Institute also got In Vogue to grant her additional funding.

This was why she agreed to Lelouch's request immediately.

She was introduced to the President right away. The student council members seem to be nice enough, but there's something in the President's smile that sent shivers down her spine, and it was definitely not the good kind.


As she spent more time with Lelouch, the more she learned about him. She learned that his entire life revolved around Nunnally, and that he'd do anything for her. She noticed that in public, Lelouch might seem cold to people, and that he has very good control over his emotions. Inside the cold exterior however, is a gentle, loving and caring personality, at least when it comes to his sister. She found out, by accident, that the reason he gambled was to pay for Nunnally's medical check-ups. She also found out that he seems to be absolutely oblivious to Madam President's and Shirley's feelings. She can understand why he might not be able to see Madam President's feelings for him as she was very subtle with it, but Shirley was completely obvious. Nina knew that if she mentioned her observations to Madam President that she would deny it vehemently, but Nina was sure of it (being a wallflower her whole life has perks, after all, and one of those was the ability to be able to observe people unnoticed). Then again, one never knows when it comes to the Vice President; he might have noticed but decided to ignore it.

There are times she wished she wasn't in the council, mostly when Madam President gets a crazy idea for an event, and when that incident with the equestrian club occurred. Overall though, she enjoys being in the council. She became friends with its members, and shared many great memories with them.

She really has to finish this budget, or else, a repeat of the incident with the equestrian club would occur, and that is something no one wants. She's sure that she was not the only one to get goose bumps whenever the clippity-clop of the horses' hooves was heard. She swears she even saw Madam President wince once, while an equestrian club member on a horse was passing by.


AN: It just makes more sense to me that Nina is the treasurer, and that Rivalz is the social events coordinator.
