Nisha Kadam

Sheriff of Lynchwood

Nisha’s Past

Nisha had a rough childhood, having to deal with an abusive mother who often yelled and tossed all sorts of things at her. She used this as a way to train her reflexes, eventually being able to catch everything her mother could throw at her. One day, Nisha's father got her a puppy, which she started to care for. The two of them were inseparable, until the dog was bitten by a frenzycrutch. At first, the dog showed no strange signs, but during one night, while Nisha was catching more of her mother's projectiles, one of them slipped off her hand and hit the dog. Its eyes went red, lips went blue, and it jumped on Nisha and bit her in the neck, while her mother laughed. After getting patched up by her father, Nisha used a shovel to bash the dog's brains out. As Nisha grew, she began to develop an interest in killing bandits. Her tendency to kill political leaders who were also bandit leaders earned her a reputation as the "bandit who kills bandits." Her actions eventually caught the attention of a man named Jack, who then recruited her to be part of his personal team of Vault Hunters. She then joined three other Vault Hunters: Athena, Wilhelm, and Claptrap, on a spaceship headed for Helios, Hyperion's moon base. After finishing her job, Nisha began a romantic relationship with Handsome Jack, and became his significant other. Later on, Nisha assisted in the fall of New Haven and even managed to capture and imprison Brick, as well as killing his beloved puppy. At some point, Handsome Jack gave Nisha governing power over the town of Lynchwood, with her taking up the office of Sheriff. She rules Lynchwood with an iron fist, enforcing over 200 of her own laws, each of which is punished by death.

Her Relationship with Handsome Jack

They are in an open, polyamorous relationship where she plays a surprisingly dominant role over Handsome Jack. She often “pegs” him. They don’t mind other partners with or without each other.

Her Personality

A sadistic, gunslinging cowgirl who may have a thing for pain—inflicted on others of course. But only with consent. When she gets used to you she can be a real romantic.

Her Whip

Nisha carries around a whip, along with her pistols.

Accent

Nisha has a normal accent and doesn’t talk like a cowboy, she’s only slightly country at times.

Flirtation

She can be pretty rude when she likes someone, but inadvertently compliments them. She isn’t sex-crazy all of the time, but she does like the act and will seek out partners. She’s picky. She likes cute, pretty, and handsome.
