Quoting you to say what a rediculous run on scentence this is.

I think Nina is way more complex a character than a lot of people seem to give her credit for. Akward masturbation scenes aside, it really boils down to hero worship. Nina's obsession with Euphemia is based on her the fact that Euphimia stood up and saved Nina during the incident at the hotel and steadily grew more and more until she snapped. Nina was always a bit off, be it from speculated sexual assault by the 'Elevens', her obvious self-esteem issues, etc. and she only feel further after the death of Euphimia, trying to bomb Ashford and creating a weapon that killed millions. She is, also, one of the few characters that redeemed herself (mostly) by creating a countermeasure to the weapon she created, and eventually getting over her hatred of the Japanese.
