Exploring the World of Nobody's Property and Understanding Characters Like Nadia Willis

DISCLAIMER: Nobody’s Property is a fictional print and illustrated series, for entertainment purposes only. Please do not engage or attempt to engage in any actual vigilante and/or homicidal acts. Do not emulate Nadia Willis or any other fictional vigilantes!

“Dirty Harry” Callahan, Bruce Wayne aka Batman, Peter Parker aka Spiderman, Nadia Willis from Nobody’s Property, have something in common. They’re all vigilantes. Perhaps Dirty Harry and Nobody’s Property are more extreme examples of vigilantism than Batman or Spiderman, who don’t generally kill or torture the targets of their vigilantism.

Vigilantism is a long-standing plot device in many works of fiction, dating back centuries. In the case of Nadia Willis in Nobody’s Property, vigilantism specifically involves Nadia targeting individuals who commit heinous crimes such as child abuse and child sexual abuse. While vigilantism is strongly discouraged in real life, for good reasons, a vigilante is an entertaining character.

When examining the motivations behind vigilantism or a character like Nadia Willis in Nobody’s Property or any other fictional character or work, one might consider various psychological factors that may drive vigilante behavior. A vigilante is rarely born but made by circumstances, and a vigilante's personal background and experiences, or that of their loved ones, can significantly influence their sense of justice and desire for retribution.

While it may be difficult to believe that a peacefully raised child like Nadia Willis in a story like Nobody’s Property could grow up to become a dangerous psychopathic vigilante, or possibly be the product of any kind of adverse circumstances, having grown up in the seemingly serene fictional beach town of Luna Vista, California, and in a seemingly serene household, hidden shadows often linger, casting a pall over the innocence of childhood.

For a child raised in an environment of peace and stability, such as Nadia Willis from Nobody’s Property, the specter of trauma may seem like a distant nightmare, an echo of a past that should have no bearing on their present reality.

Yet, however unintentionally on the part of Nadia’s mother, musician Clia Foster, front woman for fictional band Nobody’s Property, the insidious tendrils of intergenerational trauma can reach across generations. Even as a second-grader in the spring of the year 2024, at the tender age of seven, Nadia had heard whispers that her mom suffered from multiple mental illnesses, and she was well aware of her mother’s extreme night terrors. It was not uncommon for Clia’s night terrors to awaken Nadia or Clia’s stepdaughter Sasha, Nadia’s elder sister by nearly a decade; and for Sasha to tend to a tearful Nadia, being too young to understand the concept of night terrors and not knowing why her mom had such terrible nightmares.

Despite Clia’s best efforts not to extend her own childhood trauma to Nadia, intergenerational trauma can be cruel, and no matter how peaceful a parent Clia may be, her trauma found ways of making itself known to Nadia, however unintentional. This is the story of a child whose mother bears the scars of unspeakable abuse inflicted by her own biological father, Nadia’s biological grandfather.

While in Nobody’s Property, Nadia herself may have been very consciously and vigorously spared from the direct horrors of the childhood abuse her mother had experienced, the night terrors that plagued Clia for decades unfortunately served as a haunting reminder of the trauma that lurks just beneath the surface, and inadvertently traumatized Nadia to the point where she downright despises child abusers.

Intergenerational trauma is a phenomenon that has been documented across cultures and societies, with the effects of past trauma manifesting in the behaviors, beliefs, and psychological well-being of subsequent generations. In the case of the child raised in a peaceful environment, such as Nadia Willis in Nobody’s Property, the impact of intergenerational trauma may be subtle yet profound, shaping her worldview and emotional landscape in ways she may not fully understand.

At the heart of this story lies the figure of Nadia’s mother—a survivor of severe and sadistic abuse at the hands of her biological father, or Nadia’s biological grandfather, not to be confused with the person she actually claims as her maternal grandfather. Two very different people. The trauma Nadia Willis’ mother, Clia Foster, endured during her formative years left scars that run deep, scars that continue to haunt her in the form of night terrors and flashbacks. As she grapples with the legacy of her past, despite her best efforts to shield her own child from the horrors she herself experienced, facades of normalcy and tranquility, however well-intentioned to protect a child’s innocence, would eventually shatter, and the idyllic existence of Nadia Willis would prove to be marred with the evils of her biological grandfather, still presenting themselves in the darkness of the night, in the form of her mother's cries and screams echoing through the corridors of their home.

At just three years old, Nadia is unable to process why the nightmares come, but things don’t get any better as she grows older, becoming increasingly more aware of the underlying tension that pervades her household. She senses the weight of her mother's unspoken pain, the burden of a trauma too great to be fully contained. Yet, she is also keenly attuned to her mother's efforts to shield her from the full extent of her suffering, to preserve the illusion of normalcy at all costs.

Despite Clia’s best efforts, however, Nadia could never escape the ripple effects of her mother's trauma. She herself suffers from her own mental illnesses, in particular bipolar disorder and psychopathy; may experience feelings of anxiety, hypervigilance, or even guilt, grappling with emotions she struggles to articulate or understand. The night terrors become a shared burden, a silent specter that looms over their relationship, binding them together in a web of unspoken anguish.

For the child, the night terrors serve as a stark reminder of the fragility of innocence, the vulnerability of the human psyche in the face of unspeakable horrors. They are a testament to the enduring legacy of trauma, the way in which the past can reach across generations, leaving an indelible mark on those who come after.

Yet, amidst the darkness, there is also resilience and hope in a story like Nobody’s Property. Nadia knows love and support from her family like her own mother had been denied, at least from her abuser.

Nadia Willis from Nobody’s Property is not without empathy and compassion, but it is precisely her extreme empathy and compassion which tends to turn dark, and fuels her rage toward people who intentionally, consciously, or recklessly abuse and harm children.

In the end, the story of the child raised in a peaceful environment is not just one of trauma and suffering, but also of resilience and hope. It is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is light to be found, that the bonds of love and understanding can transcend even the deepest wounds of the past. And it is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit to rise above adversity, to find beauty and meaning in the midst of pain and sorrow

Enter the vigilante. Nadia Willis never forgot how fortunate she considered herself, that neither of her own parents were physically abusive. Hell, neither one even believed in spanking – though it wasn’t lost on her that some of those news outlets who catered to the belt advocates, they would try to use that in favor of hitting children should she ever be caught brutally murdering child abusers; she also never forgot that she was the daughter of a mother with multiple mental illnesses which were the direct result of a traumatic childhood with Nadia’s sadistic and abusive biological father. A man Nadia met for the first and last time in the year 2030, just weeks before her fourteenth birthday, when he broke into their home, seeking vengeance for two separate stints of incarceration he believed were her mother’s fault. Nadia had been forced to make a decision that would affect her for the rest of her long 120-year life, to oddly enough, end somewhat peacefully in bed in the year 2136.

In such a scenario as Nadia being the peacefully-raised daughter of a mother whose apparent mental illnesses – and especially their side effects – traumatized her, however indirectly, it's not implausible to suggest that Nadia may feel a deep-seated sense of empathy and identification with the victims of childhood abuse, including her own mother. This indirect connection to the trauma of child abuse could serve as a powerful motivator, driving Nadia to seek justice and retribution on behalf of survivors like her mom.

One could also argue that Nadia may experience a profound sense of helplessness and frustration in the face of systemic failures and injustices within the legal system. Obviously Nadia correctly has no aversion to concepts such as a person accused of or rumored to have committed a crime being presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, especially since she often benefits from the presumption of innocence herself, despite technically being a violent criminal who is just smart and cunning enough never to get caught. Or as she puts it in one video, “Let’s just say I’m really good at playing hide and seek with forensic scientists, and leave it at that.”

Child abuse is one of the most leniently-enforced crimes in many U.S. states, where many cases may go unreported, unresolved or result in far more lenient sentences than a person might get for a nonviolent drug offense, often in the same state. This lack of regard for tougher crackdowns on child abuse crimes often leaves survivors of such crimes without proper or at least adequate closure. This perceived failure of the justice system can fuel feelings of anger and disillusionment, prompting the rise of vigilantes like Nadia Willis to take matters into her own hands in pursuit of what she perceives as true justice.

Additionally, the actions of a vigilante such as Nadia who targets child abusers in particular, especially those of a sexual nature, may be driven by a desire to reclaim a sense of power and agency in the face of trauma. Growing up in the shadow of her mother's abuse, she may have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact it had on her family and her own sense of security. By actively confronting and targeting child abusers, Nadia may be seeking to assert control over her own narrative, reclaiming a sense of empowerment and autonomy that was stolen from her by the trauma of having witnessed firsthand the aftermath of her mother’s childhood abuse, particularly in the form of night terrors.

Moreover, as with many vigilantes, Nadia Willis’ actions may be motivated by a deep-seated moral conviction and a belief in the inherent righteousness of her cause. Most people do not endorse vigilantism or vigilante acts.

However, for Nadia Willis, the protection of innocent children and the service of justice of those who would harm them are paramount moral imperatives that supersede conventional notions of morality, authority, and even legality.

In her sapphire vigilante eyes, she is not merely seeking vengeance but rather fulfilling a moral duty to defend society’s most vulnerable humans, and uphold the principles of justice

The psychology of a vigilante who targets child abusers, particularly one who is the daughter of a survivor like Nadia Willis in Nobody’s Property, is influenced by a myriad of factors including personal trauma, feelings of powerlessness, moral conviction, and a desire for justice.

While the actions of a character like Nadia Willis in Nobody’s Property may be driven by a deep-seated need for retribution and empowerment, they also raise ethical questions about the nature of justice and the role of vigilantism in society. By exploring the complex interplay of psychological motivations behind her behavior, we can gain a deeper understanding of the vigilante's actions and the broader societal issues they reflect.

Nobody's Property invites readers into a realm of imagination and excitement through its fictional illustrated series.

TRANSCRIPT FOR NOBODY’S PROPERTY #111:

Characters in this installment: Nadia Willis, Isabella Calderon

Nadia Willis and Isabella Calderon are in an undetermined space together, having a conversation about Nadia’s mom, Clia Foster, which evolves into discussion about Luna Vista’s number one crop, cannabis.

NADIA: Her memory’s getting better...still not great. She remembers who I am about half the time now...

ISABELLA: That’s pretty good, for no longer than it’s been. Though I seriously doubt if anybody has a better support system than you, to be honest...

NADIA: I’ve noticed her memory’s better after she’s had some quality time with her vaporizer, or had one of Gertrude’s brownies or cookies.

ISABELLA: Makes perfect sense. It’s hard to believe something that helps so many people now was illegal just a few years before either of us was born...
