About
SEMI-CANON→ In her 16 years with the company, Nina Sharp has overseen the firm's rise from feisty upstart - to multinational conglomerate. As Sr. Vice President of R&D, Nina demonstrated her skill in transforming concept into product. Since her 2004 promotion to Chief Operating Officer, Ms. Sharp has spearheaded the firm's entry into entertainment, education, and environmental management. In 2007, she headed The Women's Progress Foundation's annual list of the Top 10 Women in Business. ←SEMI-CANON
She claimed that she was diagnosed with cancer in 1997, which took her arm. However, it is revealed in a flashback of Walter's that she lost her arm when she had it extended through a door to the alternate universe (trying to stop Walter from travelling though that door), which closed shut. At some point after that, her arm was replaced by a robotic arm designed by Dr. William Bell and developed by Massive Dynamic. She attributes Sam Weiss with helping her recover from the loss, and replacement, of her arm. She was shot in the chest and robbed of the powerful energy cell hidden in her robotic arm. She has Kevlar components in the sternum region of her chest. This helped her survive being shot. Technicians from Massive Dynamic returned function to her arm when she was in the hospital recovering from the gunshot wound to her chest.
Relationships
In The Cure, Nina told Peter Bishop that she knew him when he was a small boy, that she and his father, Walter, were once quite close and that she and Peter spent time together at the equestrian center where they were sitting.
In A New Day In The Old Town, a deeper aspect of Nina's and Broyle's relationship is revealed when she kisses him passionately on the steps of the United States Capitol. Broyles seems to neither respond to, nor reject, the approach.
In Peter, Nina is seen in 1985 as an associate (of unknown relation) of both Walter & William Bell. She is shown to have knowledge of their research on the alternate universe, and the effects of crossing over from one to the other, as she attempts to stop Walter from doing so, but ultimately failing.
In Brown Betty, Walter depicted in his story that Nina Sharp has a relationship with William Bell.
