Najenda makes her debut in Akame ga Kill Zero when Saikyuu gives Gozuki a new mission to kill her after the operation in Mount Hakuba. She lost both her right eye and arm in the short ensuing battle against Esdeath. During a mission to eliminate a Revolutionary army base, Najenda informed her army of her plan to defect from the Empire that they agreed with her. Because of that she and her troops became a target of Imperial troops and eventually Esdeath's army. She was a colleague of Esdeath, accompanying her on a past expedition for the Empire. Najenda was once a General of the Empire who decided to defect after realizing how corrupt the current regime was.
She tends to have a habit of telling 'cold jokes' and making bad puns. Najenda is sometimes mistaken for a man due to her boyish appearance, even sometimes being nicknamed 'The Hunk of the Rebellion' by her cohorts. Her years of experience serving in the Empire as a General have made her a highly capable leader. Najenda is taciturn, sharp-minded and level-headed, she leads the group with a surprisingly gentle-but-firm air. When she was younger, her hair was longer and she wore it tied and braided.
She has a green and black mechanical right arm. She wears a black suit that shows her cleavage. She wears an eyepatch where her right eye used to be. Najenda is a woman with short, silver hair and purple eyes.
