Dialogue
Bukdek Byway (during the quest Finding The Oracle):
 * "Hello, stranger. A bit of free advice? Watch your back on these streets. You never know who might be looking to stick a knife in it. Kaineng City embraces those who know it like a mother embracing a child...but new arrivals aren't always so lucky."

Shenzun Tunnels (during the quest To Tahnnakai Temple):
 * "I believe we can help one another if we work together"

Kaineng City towns and outposts:
 * "We have much to lose if this plague is allowed to spread across the city. This place has been my life and I shall never abandon it, on my honor. Since I was first given my daggers, I have protected this city by removing those who dishonor her.


 * "What did you need?"

Echovald Forest towns and outposts:
 * "I have never been outside of Kaineng City. Did you see that giant tree with all the windows? You should really look up often, otherwise you might miss something.


 * "Did you want to talk about anything?"

Raisu Palace mission:
 * "Kaineng City has always been home to me. What kind of person would I be if turned tail and ran away when I was needed most?"

Divine Path:
 * "We have saved my beloved Cantha, and for that, (character name), I cannot thank you enough. It was also good to see something of the world outside of the city. It has only served to strengthen my resolve to protect the place that I love."

Quotes
Kaineng City:
 * "Five on one should be about fair against me, if the five are truly skilled."
 * "One does not wait for trouble to find them in this city, for it always will."
 * "We should leave. Standing here is not wise."

Echovald Forest:
 * "I never imagined seeing such sights."

Arborstone:
 * "This place is awesome."

Battle quotes

 * "Are my daggers too fast for you?"
 * "Aww, you're bleeding. Who could have done that to you?"
 * "Blink and you'll miss me."
 * "Can't we get some real competition?"
 * "Careful now."
 * "Die with honor and you will be given a place of honor in the afterlife."
 * "I'm enjoying this immensely."
 * "Your end is at hand and you don't even seem to realize it."

Trivia

 * The assassin depicted in the artwork used to promote Guild Wars Factions is actually Nika.
 * Nika looked a lot like the in-game version of Vizu during the Factions World Preview Event, but her face was remodelled closer to the artwork since.
 * She is the cousin of Mai.
 * Her henchman skills were updated in the 22nd October 2009 update.
