Power
It's called Empathy. Nina can read and mirror the feelings of others without reading apparent physical symptoms, allowing her to understand introverts and discover one emotion is actually hiding another. She can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since she knows exactly what emotion is flowing through others and can use this knowledge to play against them. She can even read emotional imprints left into environment or objects. She has displayed the ability to not only feel emotions, but also "hear" the heightened thoughts associated with specific emotions. This is probably do to the fact that both cortexes (emotional and mental) so closely relate with one another. An example would be she senses two spouses aiming a lot of hatred towards one another. She might get the echo of thought along with that emotion e.g "I cant believe he's cheating on me after all these years". However this is not to be confused with Telepathy. She can only get visionary "echoes" related to certain emotions. She can not read full memories. If she forges an emotional connection with another being. As long as that connection stays opens, she is able to sense when that person is in danger from far away and is also able to locate them by their "emotional scent". She also identifies people she knows by their βemotional scentβ and is able to tell when someone is hiding by sensing their emotions nearby. Since she isn't a very strong fighter, she's better at defending herself by overloading other people with a barrage of emotions, causing them mental stress and often inducing stress attacks, panic attacks, and the like.

History
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
