Nula is a secondary character from Kaza's Mate Gwenna. She has appeared in the story arcs The Danger, The Diamond, & The Dowager, Nula: Naked and Alone, and The Temple of Turmoil.
History[]
Her given name and title is Lady Catherine Maxwell Third Baroness of Sharrinford. In her younger days she was a jungle adventurer much like Kaza and Gwenna, though she was far more modest. She was closely associated with Smedley (now the Commissioner) in those days and used to call him Glumpy, when he was just an assistant to Captain Hollister. Eventually, she returned to England and began living a life more appropriate to her station.
Thirty years passed, and after Catherine discovered Solomon's Diamond, an ancient tribal artifact belonging to the Koravi (an indigenous tribe from Buranda), had come up for auction. She bought it, with the intent on returning it to the tribe as she was rather close to them and that was how she and Smedley were brought back together along with meeting the nudist couple of the Naked Jungle (Kaza and Gwenna) who in a way were her successors but jokingly called them her replacements. She was not fully aware of the artifact's power, or the dangerous parties that were after it. Solomon's Diamond was in fact the legendary Philosopher's Stone, and it did have the power to turn lead into gold and the Skull, the leader of a dangerous terrorist cabal, was after it. She also explained to Kaza and Gwenna that she used to be a jungle girl but unlike Gwenna, she didn't do it as a nudist.
On her first night in Buranda as an old lady, she found it difficult to sleep as it was very humid and decided to go skinny-dipping in a nearby river as she didn't bring any swimwear. Once she reached the river, she made sure that the coast is clear before stripping down to her birthday suit.
While enjoying the river water on her bare skin, she sensed someone spying on her. She then sneaked off into the jungle before ambushing the confused culprit who turn out to be Mitchell. After knocking out the villian with a club, she noticed airships flying over her towards the direction of the village. She then ran towards the village in her birthday suit after stealing Mitchell's rifle but she was too late as the village was in fire.
She later ran into Wimberly, his heavily pregnant wife, Kianna and armed men who served as their bodyguards. They were shocked to see her naked as she explained that the village they were heading to was being burned.
While Catherine might be older, she was still at heart Nula and teamed up with Kaza and Gwenna to put and end to the Skull's plan. Once the Skull was dealt with, she decided to stay in the Jungle and rekindle her relationship with the Commissioner but this time she chose to be a nudist when she went superheroing.
Sometime later, she made a surprise visit to Smedly, Kaza and Gwenna just outside the Adventurer's Club after getting a free ride back in Jenny Everywhere and Anywhere from an unknown mission with them in her birthday suit. She later has an intimate moment with the Commissioner at a prison until they were interrupted by Wimberly over an urgent matter which is the death of MacGuffin in his cell.
Nearing the end of the chapter, Kaza and Gwenna told Smedly and her about their encounter with a vampire. The elderly couple then mentioned that Nula once faced one but unlike theirs, it was a female. The she-vampire was burnt to death through her own undoing and Nula ended up losing nothing more than her jungle girl attire in the process.
As a continuation from the previous chapter, Nula suggested that Kaza and Gwenna should take a vacation from all the insane things they did in their jobs as superheroes. She was one of the four in the nudist couple's treehouse invited by Mr. Montibar to Kokotomo from a letter that mysteriously appeared during their conversation.
After Mr. Montibar introduced himself to the four of them in Kokotomo, he offered her and Smedley a chance to relive their youth with an elixir. Nula gladly took it unlike her boyfriend.
The both of them later reunited with Gwenna and Kaza. Nula was shown to have an amazonian physique in her youthful form and wore a spotted pink bikini. When she was told that Centennia was in Kokotomo too, she went to find her. Nula and Centennia turned out to be former lovers and they separated after a fight between them caused by a villain named Hitler with a mind control device which left the jungle girl badly injured. However after the both of them were reunited, Centennia told Nula that the actual reason why she left her is because of her immortality which none of her friends and family members she knew possessed as well as being ashamed of the fact that Hitler was able to mind control her easily. The both of them agreed to let bygones be bygones and that was when Jenny Everywhere showed up, telling them that the party was about to start.
Nula later attended the party at night in a green dress where she was reunited with Smedley. She was about to tell her boyfriend eagerly of the positive effects of the elixer of youth she took. Montibar stepped in by saying he would like to do the honors of telling him about it and that was its effect was permanent.
Smedley declined the offer of taking the elixer of youth and walked away much to his girlfriend's shock. Centennia told Nula to go after him as she knew he was about to head a different path from her and Nula did as adviced.
Meeting Smedley at the beach, Nula asked her boyfriend regarding what was troubling him. He told her that he had no intention of re-experiencing his youth and because of the appearance of how different they looked in age, it made no sense for them to be together. Nula then scolded him for not looking at the bigger picture and explained that with her regained youth, the both of them were able to start a family which she intended to look forward to. She made her point clear by getting into her birthday suit by stripping off her dress which was an obvious sign that she wanted to have sex with him.
The naked couple got up the next morning after a steamy night on the beach. Nula told her lover that she wanted to complete everything she wanted to but had missed doing so from her youth when he asked about her decision but she was only able to do so with him by her side. Smedley answered to his lover that he was willing to do so but only as an old man. They soon got married with Gwenna as the flower girl and Montibar as the officiant. Nula then threw her bouquet of flowers into the crowd after kissing her newly-wedded husband and it landed into Silveron's hands.
Nula bonded with Gwenna sometime after her wedding day and the latter revealed that after a threesome with her husband and Lenore during her oceanic adventure, the mermaid was currently carrying his lovechild. She later mentioned this was his eighth and as she was infertile, that really upset her.
Both ladies were later interrupted by a falling spacecraft they saw falling from the sky and followed it to its crash site. As they were walking, Nula was puzzled over why didn't Gwenna asked for any elixir which might be able to cure her infertility. The younger woman explained that she had doubts about doing so, meaning that she might have to give up her current lifestyle which she enjoyed so much.
Upon arriving several miles from the crash site, they saw a mysterious figure emerging from it. Along the way in getting close for further investigation, Gwenna saw a house with a satellite dish on its roof that looked similar to the one on her treehouse and had a rough idea who the culprit was. Nula followed the infuriated Gwenna into the house and was introduced to Uzai, Kaza's lovechild by a Natari woman.
Both ladies listened to him explaining that he was the one who caused the spacecraft to crash in the Naked Jungle with the aid of a few criminal hackers and it belonged to a villain named Mbuni and the the spacecraft turned out to be a satellite. Nula suggested getting her husband's aid to deal with the villain's satellite but the boy and his stepmother disagreed because of his criminal record.
Much later when Mitchell arrived with Toyco's android, tied and gagged outside the house which the three of them are inside, he threatened to shoot anyone inside after finding out Uzai who was outside talking to him wasn't alone and saw a half-naked Nula coming out, wearing only her panties but was unable to recognize her because of her fake American accent and he had never seen her youthful appearance before.
When the android suddenly attempted to assassinate Mitchell due to the programming by Toyco, Nula joined forces with Gwenna in stopping it until Uzai managed to shut it down with some help from one of the criminal hackers earlier in the story.
Sometime later, Nula joined her husband in the Adventurer Club where Donna Panks was performing a striptease for Botaba and the Darkpool mercenaries.
Following that night, she accompanied her husband to visit Captain Oliver Charles who's an old friend of his running a safari hostel and living with his daughter, Ophelia. She was later introduced to two elderly researchers; Edgar Stanton and Hassam Kofaal as well as an old adversary of hers who was in fact the descendant of Gideon W Haveland, Ronald Haveland. However as she was in her rejuvenated form, Ronald didn't recognize her at all and hit on her which she turned him down in return and lied to him that she was Catherine Maxwell's niece.
That night, Nula got naked in the privacy of her bedroom and with Smedley's help, learned about the history of Gideon W Haveland.
Even later in the night, Nula was still awake and decided to go skinny-dipping in a pool outside the bedroom.
