Nena

At first glance Nena seems to be a lovely young Indian woman dressed in traditional garments, but that pleasant figure is only a borrowed shell. Her real body is squat, heavyset, and unattractive, clad in a bikini, and a small bud grows on her tongue. She keeps this true form hidden even from the people she works with, wearing the stolen face of her latest victim.

Nena is introduced through her infatuation with Hol Horse, a longing so strong that she dreams of marrying him. Deeply dissatisfied with her own looks, she conceals her genuine appearance from friend and foe alike and leans on the beauty of the woman she killed to seem harmless. According to Enya the Hag, her particular cruelty lies in killing her prey slowly rather than quickly.

Born into an aristocratic family, the heavyset and unsightly Nena was recruited by DIO to intercept and destroy the Joestar group. She used Empress to murder a beautiful young woman and then wore her skin as a mask, and along the way she fell for Hol Horse and became both his lover and his accomplice, though he privately admitted to J. Geil that he kept her around only for her usefulness. After Hol Horse is beaten by Jotaro's team, Nena comes to his aid, pinning Polnareff so the gunman can flee. She then boards the group's bus toward Varanasi, where Polnareff grows smitten with her, and she exploits his interest as cover while her Stand secretly assaults Joseph. Her Stand, Empress, embodies the Tarot card of the same name and its themes of fertility and life, feeding and swelling like a living creature and mockingly calling its host "daddy." When Joseph finally lands a decisive strike on Empress through Hermit Purple, the backlash tears through Nena herself, and she dies on December 13, 1988, her disguise falling away to reveal her real body as a horrified Polnareff looks on.
