Research notes
- Give Nydine a gift or share a meal, arena session, temple service, theatre trip, thermae visit, or world-map feast with her once per in-game week from the first free-time window. Why: Satisfies the 1S support component of Nydine's Cai-route gate, budgeted at roughly one support-raising action per week.
- Prioritise quests, especially Cai's route-specific Kindness Quests, from the start of the route to bank the renown Nydine's gate needs. Why: Satisfies the 6R renown component of Nydine's Cai-route gate.
- Buy 2 Bronze Axes and hand both to Nydine when her recruitment event is offered. Why: Satisfies the '2x Bronze Axe' item component of the Cai-route gate, including the instruction to give 2 Bronze Axes to Nydine. Shop-bought equipment in principle, but no source gives a price, stock limit, or first chapter of availability for the Bronze Axe (Items table: NOT FOUND)

Story and profile
Who they are
Nydine is a Saraminian warrior who left home and wandered after the Gráinne War before settling in Dagda as a mercenary. She takes her duties seriously. She likes caring for orniuses, reading and sharpening her fighting skills. Bonaventure once recognised her as exemplary.
She fights from the saddle. Barge Through lets her move through enemy spaces while mounted, though not through large foes, so a line of enemies does not stop her reaching the target behind it. Speed and HP growths are both 45%, and Strength is 40%. Defence is 30% and Resistance 25%, so she suffers when caught. Her proficiencies are Axe, Riding and Flying but not Spear or Sword, which Wing Soldier and Bardinger both ask for. That limits her options. The guide rates her D with the path Gladiator, Wing Soldier, Dragoon, Celestial Trooper. Axe, Black Magic, Flier and Rider skills suit her; Brawling and Heavy do not.
She joins in Part 1 and can be recruited on all four routes.
