Nadia is a fourteen-year-old orphan who wears a mysterious pendant around her neck. Aside from this, she is unaware of her origins, although she suspects she might be from Africa. Having grown up in a circus under the unloving care of her ringmaster, Nadia has developed a vicious animosity toward grown-ups. She also opposes killing of any kind--in fact she angrily refuses to show Nemo any gratitude when he guns down a Neo-Atlantean to save her from being shot, accusing him of "murdering in cold blood." In addition, she is a strict vegetarian, declaring that humans have no right to feed off animals, while turning a deaf ear to her friends' suggestions that they eat meat out of hunger. Stubborn and bad-tempered though she is, Nadia is actually very insecure and fears that everyone will betray her. As a result of her growing love for Jean, however, she learns valuable lessons about respect, love, friendship, and faith.

~!In the epilogue told by a grown-up Marie in the last episode, Nadia has married Jean and they have a child.!~

In 1889, the world is on the pinnacle of great discoveries in technology.

Nadia, with the help of a young inventor, Jean Raltique, and the mysterious captain Nemo of the submarine Nautilus, must fight to save the world from Gargoyle and Neo-Atlantis.

A shorter, more streamlined version of Nadia called "The Nautilus Story", which all but eliminates the filler arc and concentrates on the struggle between Nemo and Gargoyle. Some scenes in the more pivotal episodes are cut as well. The compilation series was made by Hideaki Anno, who was said to have been dissatisfied with the final result of the TV show. The Nautilus Story was only released in Japan on VHS and laserdisc.
