Growing up, Nadir wasn’t really raised with any sort of strong affiliation to any religion or particular belief system. Though given the influence of various diverse eras and periods on the setting and timeline of the Arcana universe and her ancestral origins, it’s probably implied that the game equivalent of Zoroastrianism would correspond to hers and her family’s ethnoreligious group.
However, over the generations, her family has shifted towards being observant rather than engaging in active prayer and worship at the designated fire temples. Her personal views presently probably lean towards more of a “deist agnostic” and generally secular sort of world view (i.e. basically subscribing to the belief that even if there is a main god/deity out there, that god/deity has taken a step back from intervention in the lives of humans). Though the core tenets of Zoroastrianism (good thoughts, good words, good deeds) still apply and are most definitely values her family has striven to abide by and incorporate into their daily lives.
Nadir owns and at times still wears a symbolic golden necklace bearing the image of Fravashi, the symbolic representation and concept of an individual’s personal spirit (also called a faravahar) as an acknowledgement of and homage to her ancestral and cultural/ethnoreligious roots.
She is also fond of dishes from other lands, e.g. beef stroganoff, dolmas (dolmeh), and especially loves almost all vegetables. With certain dishes, particularly Parzian ones, radishes, onions (especially scallions/green onions), parsley, basil, mint, and cilantro tend to complement the food quite well.

Nadir typically imbibes water, tea, and sometimes milk and stays away from sugary or processed drinks the majority of the time. And of course a couple of cups of coffee in order to remain alert and awake throughout the day as she tends to the shop’s affairs. Other than that, she really doesn’t drink much else. She actually absolutely despises the taste of coffee, for whatever reason it is just too bitter and nasty to her taste buds; she views coffee as something of a “necessary evil” in order to make it through the day since the caffeine content in tea is too small in comparison to actually do much for her.
In addition, dealing with GERD and bouts of gastritis and having the gnawing stomach acidity associated with these conditions only exacerbated by coffee is another reason for her disdain for coffee, aside from the bitter taste. On some occasions, she especially enjoys a Parzian fizzy yogurt drink called doogh, which originated in Parzia and is comprised of yogurt, carbonated water, and salt with a soupcon of mint flavor.

send 💕 for a love headcanon
Nadir has absolutely zero experience in this department, unless we are also including familial love which is heavily expressed and emphasized in her culture. Especially since she was raised as an only child, Nadir received the undivided attention and love of both of her parents, and the tightly-knit unit of three were/are very close to one another, along with her grandparents. Growing up quite accustomed to and comfortable with living in an inter-generational household, she would be absolutely devastated if anything happened to her mother, father, or grandparents.
In terms of romantic love, Nadir has truthfully never been in any relationship, and as such she feels pretty much clueless to the real-life ‘lovey-dovey’ aspects and the experience of the romantic relationship outside of what she’s perhaps read in past novels and/or plays. In the rare event someone happens to ‘flirt’ with her, a lot of the time she may be completely oblivious to it. Or if she does catch on to it, her awkward duckling turtle self will suddenly kick in and she’ll wind up stuttering and muttering some incoherent response before quickly attempting to change the subject to something else.
Because regardless of how old she is (though she’s still relatively young in her approximately mid-twenties), she’ll always feel as if she’ll never be mentally braced for or prepared for the “process” that courtship entails, and the energy that she assumes must be expended in order to sustain a meaningful romantic relationship. She definitely feels insecurities about being at her present age while not having yet been in any sort of relationship ever, while those acquaintances and old friends from her youth seem to have already all wed or are currently engaged in the least. Though at the same time, she certainly is in no hurry to just start a relationship with an arbitrary individual since she’s felt content with remaining single for a long time now. The occasional doubts mainly arise when she hears of yet another old friend or acquaintance who’s suddenly jumped on the matrimony bandwagon, and she finds herself wondering how people transition so quickly from casual dating to proposal and weddings.
Gods give patience, resolve, and strength to any individual who even entertains the thought of ‘wooing’ or ‘courting’ her, should that ever even happen … Lord knows they’re gonna need it haha. A lot of the time she will merely dismiss someone’s kind actions or words as simply just that, and any supposedly ‘flirtatious’ comments are viewed as merely facetious banter with no deeper meaning to them. Nadir feels she is far too awkward and lackluster to possibly captivate the interest of or captivate another human being in any such manner.
send 💣 for a stress headcanon
Her anxiety and stress are heavily codependent on one another a lot of the time, i.e. the more stress something is causing her or that she is feeling due to any situation, the more intensely the anxiety will flare up at that given time. During stressful and inconvenient situations, Nadir sometimes will nervously gnaw at the tips of her fingernails without fully realizing it, and might also start searching for any small, saccharine snack (e.g. bits of dark chocolate) whose sugary content can help momentarily distract her mind from the source or reason for the stress. At least it feels that way to her. If the stress becomes just too much, she’ll probably break down into tears before regaining the motivation and energy to tackle whatever it is that is causing the problem again.
send 😵 for a sickness headcanon
Nadir’s sick spells tend to be related mostly to her bouts of headaches, nausea, and vomiting associated with the occasional migraine, along with her allergies which can at times exacerbate her asthmatic symptoms depending on the amount of allergens (e.g. pollen) in the air. If the migraine is especially bad and debilitating, Nadir will have to lie down for hours if necessary until the pain subsides, as sometimes even pain-relieving medications/NSAIDs fail to do much when the migraines have escalated to a certain point. She is at times forgetful and inconsistent with her caffeine doses, which is responsible for the withdrawal behind many of the migraines, along with hormonal fluctuations in general.
In general, Nadir also tends to be more sensitive to cooler/cold temperatures than other individuals. So if the atmosphere becomes even the slightest bit chilly, she immediately puts on at least a light jacket to make sure she doesn’t come down with a cold. Because with all the work that needs to be done around the magic shoppe, and with Asra going on even more frequent trips and mysterious outings, Nadir really needs to salvage all the energy and strength she can.
send 💩 for a ridiculous headcanon
Depending on the person and who’s doing it, Nadir internally cannot help but become low-key distressed if someone starts tinkering with or moving around objects that she’s taken the time to organize and arrange. She most certainly realizes this is a rather minor and absolutely ridiculous peeve. As such, she does her best to not demonstrate any visible facial reaction or vocalization of annoyance if someone does something like move around or tinker with any of her collectible figurines (e.g. little glass and porcelain teddy bear figurines), or attempt to explore the contents of the courier cabinet without informing her first.
Especially if it’s someone she’s on very amiable terms with or likes a lot, she doesn’t want to potentially alienate a close comrade over such a petty thing, as she’s fully aware that expressing discontent over that would be blowing things out of proportion and isn’t worth potentially hurting someone’s feelings or creating a tense and awkward situation. Though she’d definitely appreciate it if the person who wished to take a look at one of her collectibles asked her first. This way, she’d be 'prepared’ to see the item(s) taken out of its/their designated spot(s) in advance.
For a quirkier as opposed to a ridiculous headcanon, Nadir also sometimes scribbles down little poems and sketches of certain people she’s grown fond of and likes. But she’d absolutely die if the subject of said poem or drawing ever happened to come across it in the shop, especially since she’s rather disorganized in keeping all the bits and slips of paper containing the sketches and odes in one place.
Before setting off for Vesuvia to embark on her medical apprenticeship that she applied for (after having sent multiple applications and receiving her first acceptance from Dr. Devorak), Nadir stayed with her family all throughout her primary, secondary, and higher (university) educational years. Her family was her main source of comfort during those years, as her generally awkward and studious, recluse nature at times made her the subject of speculation and rumors at her old schools.
Not to mention that she occasionally had to put up with the sophomoric antics and jeering of those who didn’t truly know her and viewed her generally distant demeanor and eagerness to learn and answer questions in class as more fodder with which to engage in their tedious teasing. When Nadir really had no one else to turn to in school for solace or comfort, her mother and father were always there for her to encourage her and remind her to stand up for herself more. They consistently would remind to not be ashamed of who she was and that she was not obligated to conform in order to be more in line with her peers.
Nadir’s father worked/works diligently as a scribe and notary for the Shah (king) of Parzia, and her mother is a homemaker. Nadir’s parents placed a significant emphasis on her schooling and education, and as such expected her to do her very best to excel in all school subjects. They also tend to be overly protective to the point that they originally had expressed dismay and extreme reluctance when Nadir first told them that she’d be studying abroad in Vesuvia for the new medical apprenticeship position she’d been accepted into under Dr. Devorak. Since it would be the first time that the close-knit family of three would be apart for presumably significant stretches of time.
send 🐢 for a mental health headcanon
One thing becomes evident to others who befriend or come to know her after observing her mannerisms and general avoidance of certain things and situations over time. Nadir has general anxiety (which is to a degree also relevant to and ultimately rooted in OCD), and at times finds herself fretting excessively over whether she has offended someone, trying too hard to be palatable to to others, others’ overall perception/opinions of her, etc. In many ways, it has proved to be a considerable hindrance in terms of summoning the courage and confidence to seek out new opportunities and form new and meaningful relationships with new people (though she still tends to be reluctant to openly acknowledge and admit this).
Nadir’s initial timidity and anxiety upon encountering unfamiliar, new individuals are closely correlated with one another. Even despite her insistence that she tries not to care about what anyone else thinks or perceives her, the lingering subconscious, nagging concerns and doubts were something that she never completely let go of as she grew up. Though she is still endeavoring to find better ways to manage it. The anxiety has especially reared its ugly head in the times leading up to taking examinations and even in social situations that have her wandering in the midst of a crowd of arbitrary individuals where she feels pressured to awkwardly make meaningless small talk.

“Greetings Sir/Madam, and welcome to our humble magic shop! Would you happen to be looking for any herbs, charms, or runes in particular? We have a wide selection of herbs, charms, runes, etc. available for purchase!”
“Oh! As it so happens, we do currently have a sale on our quite popular Pacifying Potion, which has been quite popular with the myriad of anxious pupils hoping to ease their nerves as they hit the books and scrolls for their final examinations this time of year.”
Nadir at times will call Julian moo ferferi, which is a phrase in her parents’ native Parzian tongue that is used to affectionately refer to someone whose hair is prone to being curly or wavy, usually with a prominent fluffy quality. :3
