== History ==
Nedd comesgrew fromup oneon ofAlta Base, where his parents keep the lowerorchards.{{book ref|sky1|23}} It is unknown where Nedd originally hails from, or where caveshe and his family lived before Alta Base was solidified as a highly-meritedstronghold family</--check-->following the Battle of Alta. At some point during his upbringing, allowinghis parents himbegan to entersend FlightNedd to the deep caverns where he attended school, however, it is unclear whether he lived in Schoolthese withoutcaverns attemptingfor the testduration of the school year or commuted each day via the private elevators.{{book ref|sky1|23}14} During his schooling he met and befriended Arturo and Jorgen and by the time they join flight school, the three are close friends.{{book ref|sky1|8}} After taking the Onceentrance thereexam, Nedd was placed in Skyward Flight under the tutorledge of Cobb. During his time at Flightflight Schoolschool, he roomed with the other male members of his flight.{{book ref|sky1|11}}
 
His first day of Flightflight Schoolschool saw him arriving at the class room with his two friends, Jorgen and Arturo. When Jorgen chided the other members of Skyward Flight for not being organized and ordered them to attention, Nedd naturally obeyed the command. After Cobb named Jorgen flightleader, Jorgen named Nedd as one of his two assistant flightleaders.{{book ref|sky1|8}}
 
When the first lesson was interrupted by a Krell attack, Nedd, along with the rest of Skyward Flight, were ordered to take to the sky and line up close to the battle to deceive the Krell into thinking there were more pilots ready to join the conflict.{{book ref|sky1|10}} When a Krell ship broke away heading towards the cadets and Alta Base, Nedd joined Jorgen as his wingmate to try and ward it off.{{book ref|sky1|10}} The pair engaged the Krell ship using dogfighting techniques, however, Nedd pulled too far away from Jorgen allowing the Krell to tail the other pilot, leading to him falling behind the other two ships.
 
The next day, when Cobb asked the cadets to report back to him on his teaching method and style, he was surprised, not expecting Cobb to care about their feelings on the matter. In answer to Cobb's question, he reported he was confused then made a joke about lunch.{{book ref|sky1|13}} Later, the cadets began testing out the weapons functions on their mockpits. Like his fellow classmates, barring Kimmalyn, Nedd performed poorly when first attemptingattmpting to hit the targets, not managing to land a single shot. When the class attempted dogfighting following the target practice exercise, Nedd was shot down not long after the simulation began.{{book ref|sky1|14}}
 
During the light-lancing ring game, Nedd intentionally crashed on the third ring of the second run. As a joke, he pulled Arturo into the debris in front of the ring by using his light-lance, causing them both to crash.{{book ref|sky1|15}} After Spensa deliberately collided with Jorgen, Nedd, along with Arturo, attempted to calm his flightleader down, joking that Jorgen had still beaten Arturo - a comment Arturo did not appreciate.{{book ref|sky1|15}} As form of vicious retribution, Jorgen told Nedd and Arturo about Spensa's father while the rest of the room listened.{{book ref|sky1|15}}
 
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Despite his propensity to act otherwise, Nedd is highly knowledgeable about piloting and starfighters, as he would have been required to pass the entrance exam to attend flight school.{{book ref|sky1|23|Is this a good reference?}}
During Flight School Nedd trains to pilot a Poco, perform aerial maneuvers, and use its weaponry. He has some knowledge of piloting and starfighters, and has some prior practical experience in flying and dogfighting from before Flight School.{{book ref|sky1|10}} However, he lacks the theoretical understanding of starfighters and flying that is known by those in the flight who either took the entrance exam or have previously studied piloting.{{book ref|sky1|14}} As well as this, his previous practical experience is not extensive - he is unused to flying with a wingmate{{book ref|sky1|10}} and not practiced with using his destructors.{{book ref|sky1|14}} Although he flies well enough when facing a single Krell, he is shot down fairly quickly when pitted against multiple enemies during a battle simulation.{{book ref|sky1|14}}▼

Nedd and Arturo bicker with each other.{{book ref|sky1|15}}
Following the revelation that Spensa's father was Zeen Nightshade, FMNedd began acting more cautious around Spensa, although it is unclear if this was because of her parentage or her temper.{{book ref|sky1|16}}
 
== Jorgen and Arturo ==
Nedd met Arturo and Jorgen at some point while the three of them were schooled in the deep caverns, prior to flight school.{{book ref|sky1|8}} By the time they all are accepted into Cobb's class, the three are good friends, with Nedd and Arturo being mistaken as Jorgen's henchmen.{{book ref|sky1|8}}
 
Nedd has a fun natured and bickering type of relationship with Arturo. The two often throw insults at each other.{{book ref|sky1|15}}
