Nia Brooklyn Thompson (born August 24, 2010) is one the main characters of Wasting Time.

Biography[]

Early years (2010-2015)[]

Nia Brooklyn Thompson was born to Grant Thompson and Harmony Samuels on August 24, 2010. As a baby, she was quite loud and kept her parents up all night, but after a while, settled down. Her toddler years she showed to have a great amount of imagination and would often be caught drawing and writing on the walls of the house or making a mess. She also was very Inquisitive but rather Clingy to her parents, who both worked full time; her father in marketing and her mother a police officer.

In 2014, the Reed family who were neighbors down the road had a tragedy. Lanaya Reed lost her husband, Lucas from heatstroke. Nia's parents would sometimes babysit Lanaya's kids Lexi and Cole, or they would go to the same daycare together. However, Nia was shy, She never really became friends with them as she was clingy to her parents. In 2015, Nia attended one year of preschool.

Elementary school (2016-2022)[]

She became a child and started Kindergarten in the fall of 2016 at Watersman Elementary School. On Halloween of that year, she met Lexi Reed, who was wearing a similar princess costume as her, who she quickly became best friends with and learned that she actually lives just down the road from her house. They trick and treated together that year.

She was bullied by a girl named Jill Charlene Charlotte since first grade in 2017 in Ms. Powell's class. When Nia and Lexi learned that she was rich, they were afraid that she would be mean like the rich girls on TV shows they watch, and it ended up being true.

In the Spring of 2018, her maternal grandfather Ruben Samuels died due to a heart attack. Nia was seven, going-on eight. She was sad but too young and innocent to fully understand the concept of death. She was afraid that her grandfather would turn into a zombie in the coffin and try to eat her. She had a wild imagination.

She started playing video games when she was nine in third grade when she received a video game console for 2019's Christmas and she plays it with her father or Lexi.

She started fourth grade in the fall in Mrs. Hutchinson's class. She met two new friends to join her friend group with Lexi, her friend Mason Jenkins and Lizzie Hernandez. Mason loves nerdy things just like Nia, so they were very close friends as well.

In fifth grade, she met Ethan Benedict and they became good friends.

Middle school (2022-2025)[]

In the fall of 2022, Nia attended Watersman Middle School, Nia started getting into fandom spaces, writing fanfictions of her favorite shows. Sixth grade she started getting the best grades out of the whole class. She also was very good at science and fell in love with science and STEM classes. People considered her a nerd, and she was picked on by Jill a lot in middle school for her nerdy tendencies. She went to her first concert with her uncle Jeb, in 2022. She started dating her friend Ethan Benedict, who was captain of the basketball team in seventh grade in the fall of 2023, as they both liked sci-fi and were in the Book Club. They had a decent relationship, and went to the middle school dance in 7th and 8th grade. Nia ended middle school with a perfect GPA.

High school (2025-2029)[]

On September 8, 2025, Nia started her first day at Watersman High School. On the first day, her boyfriend Ethan broke up with her and said he had fallen in love with Jill. On the same day, she met a new friend named Gregory that day who was her lab partner in science. He moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico over the summer and was new to the school. After her break-up with Ethan, Nia gained trust issues and closed herself off from dating for the rest of freshman year, swearing she will only date someone she has a close bond with. She also did not do any extracurricular activities because she was too sad and anxious. She also didn't realize that she was having a crush on her friend Gregory, who often kept her happy in science class and distracted her from Ethan, who was also in the class. Freshman year ended in June 2026.

Wasting Time[]

Season 1A[]

On July 4, 2026, Nia planned on watching the fireworks with Lexi, Mason, and Lizzie. She invited Gregory to her friend group as well. Nia and Lexi were walking in the forest trying to find the boardwalk to meet their friends. Lexi claimed she knew a shortcut to the boardwalk, but they were lost. They were struck by lightning. They survive, but then they hug each other and Nia thinks that she wishes she was back at home. Suddenly, Nia and Lexi were both back at home earlier that day. They realized that they must have the power to time travel.

Throughout her sophomore year, Nia and Lexi use their time travel powers in many ways, mostly to relive some old memories, such as the first day of high school, the day they first met, and revisiting a middle school dance. Throughout sophomore year, Nia continually has these "visions" where she is taken to an unknown date in the future where a scientist named Chelsea is experimenting on her to steal the time travel powers away, and she learns that this lady does exist and tries to be cautious of her. In one of these visions, she learns that the date she is kidnapped is actually her upcoming 17th birthday, August 24, 2027.

However, when Lexi's younger brother Cole learns that they have powers, he asks them to go back to 1978 to the big historic Watersman snowstorm and to take pictures of Watersman because he has never experienced snow before, being a Californian who is always in town for the winter. Nia is a bit concerned because this is a time period before they were born. When Nia and Lexi go back to December 29, 1978, they accidentally end up appearing in a public area and Nia is arrested by Officer Otto Schumacher. At first, she is accused of having teleportation technology by the officer, but Nia explains she is a time traveler from 48 years in the future. Otto lets Nia find Lexi and go back to the present. Unbeknownst to them, when they time travel back to the present, they leave behind a wormhole between 1978 and 2026. Otto walks through it and ends up getting trapped in the present and discovered by Jill Charlotte who found him and recorded a video of him appearing in the present day, making her even more famous, and she takes him in.

On New Years Eve 2026, Jill throws a New Years Party and Nia and Lexi attend, having to avoid Otto. At the party, Nia asks Gregory to the upcoming Valentine's Day dance in February with the help of Lizzie. Nia is finally feeling like she is moving on from Ethan and ready to date again. Later on in February Nia's grandfather Victor comes over for his 57th birthday. Nia learned that her grandparents Carrie and Victor know about her time travel powers due to a time loop between 1984 and 2027. She helped her grandparents stay together by convincing them to stay together and proving that in the future they're successful and have a great family. However, they had to keep this a secret until February 2, 2027 so that when they came over, they could tell Nia and Lexi to go back and save their relationship.

In the episode Dance Dance Resolution, Nia and her mother go shopping the day before the dance for a dress for the dance, but Nia runs into Jill. Jill taunts Nia and steals her phone while Nia is distracted. Jill sends nasty messages to her friends and ruins her friendships. The only one who doesn't abandon her is Lexi, who knows Nia the best and knows she would never send those messages. They use time travel to go back in time and Nia confronts Jill, saying she knows about her plan and isn't gonna let her do that. This causes Jill to learn about Nia's time travel powers and teaming up with Chelsea later on. On February 14th, Nia goes to the Valentine's dance with Gregory but is tricked by Chelsea and Otto, who are working together now. Chelsea is disguised as her teacher Mr. Hathaway and distracts her so that Otto can put a mind-control device on her when she is distracted. Lexi witnesses everything and follows them to Chelsea's house. She takes the mind controlling device off Nia and they time travel back to before this happens. They redo the dance and avoid Chelsea that time. On this day, Nia asks Gregory to be her boyfriend, and she accepts. They also share their first kiss.

Season 2B[]

On the day after the dance, in the episode Fire And Vice, Nia introduces Gregory to her parents. Her mother is suspicious of any boy who wants to get with her because Ethan broke up with her, and Gregory and Ethan have some things in common. Her father really liked Gregory and wanted Harmony to give him a chance, however. But when a fire starts in the kitchen, Gregory helps put it out and this proves to Harmony that he is a good person. Meanwhile, Jill apologizes and becomes friends with Nia. But, unbeknownst to her, Jill is only pretending, as she is partnered with Chelsea now after discovering that Nia and Lexi are the time travelers, in an effort to make Nia suffer. In Wrinkles In Time, Nia reveals to Lexi that she got a job at the Watersman Retirement Center and takes Lexi there to see her great-grandma Beatrice, her mother's grandmother. Beatrice is very mean to both of them, but Nia ignores it because she wants to learn more about her mom's side of the family, as her mom rarely talks about it. But Beatrice berates her and shames Lexi because Lexi is wearing a crop top. Lexi yells at Beatrice and Nia calls Lexi disrespecful and makes Lexi go to the future, to the year 2087, when they are 77 years old, They end up in a hospital because that day, Gregory had a heart attack and was in surgery. Nia and Lexi learn that Nia and Gregory got married, and had children and grandchildren, one of their kids was a daughter named Fiona who became a doctor, and she had a teenage daughter named Olivia. Nia sees Gregory in the future after the surgery, glad he's okay. Gregory reveals that in the future, he knows about the time travel powers because Nia told him when they were teens. Nia is very happy to know that in the future, her and Gregory get married and have a family. Gregory warns Nia not to let him get a job at McDonalds, which causes him to eat too much food and have health problems that caused the heart attack. When they go back to the present, Nia apologizes to Lexi for letting Great-Grandma Beatrice for talking to her like that and goes before it happens and cancels her job there.

In The Drama Queen, Mason learns that Nia and Lexi can time travel. He confronts Nia about this in the science lab, before class, telling Nia that he will never forgive her for keeping this secret from him, as friends don't keep secrets. We see a flashback of the first day they met in fourth grade, and kid Mason tells kid Nia that if they want to be friends, she must never keep secrets from him. Mason leaves Nia behind. Nia confides in Lexi, and Lexi comforts her. In Racing The Clock, after Mason and Lizzie are kidnapped, Nia and Lexi have to save them by creating a time portal to let them escape. Nia and Lexi tell all their friends about their time travel secret, so that Chelsea cannot use their lack of information against them. In Dignity, Nia goes to Makayla's birthday party, where she learns about Chelsea's plans after she sneaks into her garage lab. Lexi confesses to Nia what she learned in Racing The Clock, that Jill has been helping Chelsea. Lexi kept it a secret because she didn't want Nia to dislike her, but Nia reassures her that she's okay with her.

In Forest Dump, it's the last day of school. Nia, along with several of her classmates, go to the Summer Forest Cleanup Field Trip in the forest area of Watersman. On the trip, Lexi and Nia see Lexi's mother Lanaya and Jill's father Joshua are dating after they witness them kissing. They overhear them saying that they used to date in high school. They go back in time and investigate it. They learn that Joshua and Lanaya dated in high school, but Jill's mom, Jacqueline was coerced by her mom to date Joshua, as he was a popular guy, and Jacqueline's mother wanted Jacqueline to be popular and to join beauty pageants. Jacqueline offers to date Joshua and convinces him to break up with Lanaya. Lexi and Nia figure that this is something they can't change, so they return back. In this episode, Nia also helps Wyatt and Mason get together after Mason originally rejected him in fear of his parents' reactions. She fails, but he later apologizes to Wyatt and they decide to date.

In Lifescape, it's the 4th of July, 2027, one year since Lexi and Nia got their time travel powers. Nia has been staying up all night and was extremely tired, trying to find every clue as to what Chelsea's plan is in her bedroom. Lexi makes Nia go to sleep. When she wakes up, she is less obsessed, but laments that she doesn't know more about Chelsea's life. They could time travel to see it, but they don't know where to start. They try, and Nia is taken into a place called a "Lifescape," which is a place outside of time and space, where you can see the memories of the person whom you were thinking about. Only Nia is there because only one person can enter a Lifescape.

In this place, she learns about Chelsea's past. She learns that Chelsea had a terrible mom, named Tiffany, who dissuaded her from learning about science. But, she had a great-aunt Elspeth, who treated her kindly and is the person from which Chelsea got the time travel powers when she was 15. After high school, Chelsea goes to college and falls in love with Everett, who her racist mother would never approve of, as he is Puerto-Rican. When Tiffany learns that Chelsea married Everett without telling her, she attacks Everett and Chelsea stops her, telling her to never come back. Later, Chelsea tells Everett that she has time travel powers. In 1984, she reveals to Everett that she is pregnant with his child and they hug. Chelsea then accidentally sends Everett to a random point in time that she doesn't know. She spends the next 40 years using her time travel powers to find where she sent him. On July 4, 2026, she gives up. Standing on a cliff in Watersman, she sends the power out of the body, and it turns into a lightning bolt. It then strikes two unknown people in the forest (Lexi and Nia). Chelsea can see that it struck someone but can't figure out who. She then pledges to get the power back to save her husband, which is what started everything. Nia feels sympathy for Chelsea, until Chelsea's subconscious attacks her, sending previous past-selves towards her trying to get the powers. Nia exits the lifescape and is back in her bedroom, only a few seconds after she left. Lexi asks her what happened and Nia tells her everything.

In the first part of the Season Finale, Out of Time, the first half of the episode shows someone who appears to be Nia, and Lexi is relieved she was not kidnapped on her 17th birthday as her visions predicted she would. However, it's actually Makayla, shapeshifted to look like Nia, and Nia is in captivity already. The previous night, Chelsea convinced Makayla to help her with an offer she couldn't refuse, even though Makayla doesn't want to do anything bad to Nia. When Nia wakes up, Chelsea explains what will happen. Chelsea will take Nia's powers from Nia, and then to ensure that Nia won't stop her, Chelsea will kill Nia with electrocution. She reassures Nia that this will never have happened once she goes back in time, stops her husband from getting lost in time, therefore she will never need to kidnap and kill Nia, and she will be alive. Nia is still freaking out, however. Eventually, Makayla confesses that it's really her, and she helps Nia's friends call the cops on Chelsea, telling them she has kidnapped a kid. However, they are too late. Chelsea transfers Nia's half of the time travel power to herself, and shocks Nia with electrocution so that Nia can't stop her. The police come in after that and arrest Chelsea. Since she only has half of it, and Chelsea has the other half, she can't quite time travel as liberally as she could if she had the whole power. Nia is rushed to the hospital, where the doctors try to save her. Gregory, along with all their friends and her parents meet at the hospital. Nia dies in the hospital that day. One week later, a funeral is held for Nia and all her friends attend. Lexi stays at her grave later in the night when Chelsea concentrates very hard and uses her half of the power to time travel back in time to save her husband from disappearing, and she succeeds. However, after she does that, she doesn't know that she's taking Lexi with her into the new timeline, who still has her own half of the power, and remembers the original timeline.

In part 2 of the finale, Trajectories, Lexi finds herself in a new timeline after Chelsea saves her husband. In the new timeline, because the time loop in Not So Great Grandparents was broken, Nia's grandmother broke up with Nia's grandfather so his life wasn't ruined due to teen pregnancy. This caused Nia's father to grow up with only his mom, not knowing how to have a healthy marriage. It's assumed that he met Nia's mom and had Nia, but this time, Nia's parents divorced when she was a kid, and Grant took Nia to live with her in Portland, Oregon, his hometown while Harmony stayed in Watersman. Therefore, Nia was never friends with her friend group, and she became a rebellious person who hates school and rules-- polar opposite to her original self. However, Lexi, Mason, Lizzie, and Gregory are still in the same friend group, but everything is messed up. Lizzie is closeted and not out as a lesbian, and is dating Gregory, and Lexi is dating Mason. Lexi discovers that the timeline is messed up and finds Chelsea. She fixes the timeline by going back and stopping Chelsea from saving her husband from getting lost in time. After that, the timeline is restored. Nobody remembers the timeline where Nia died besides Chelsea and Lexi. Lexi time travels to the moment after they called the police, and has Makayla (Chelsea's granddaughter) call Chelsea to distract her. This causes the police to show up and arrest Chelsea before she gets the chance to electrocute Nia, saving her life. One week later, Gregory goes on vacation with his family and invites Nia to go with them so they can relax after they went through such a crazy year. Nia and Gregory sit on the beach together in the last scene of Season 1.

Relationships[]

Lexi Reed (best friend)[]

"I know we can. If there's anything that this amazing past year has taught me, it's that you and I can do anything when we put our minds to it." - Lexi to Nia in "The Drama Queen"

Lexi and Nia met in kindergarten in 2016 and were in the same kindergarten class, originally sitting across the room from each other. They became friends on October 31, 2016 when Nia went missing on Halloween during trick-or-treating and Lexi and her mom found her and brought her to safety. Nia's parents allowed her to go trick-or-treating with Lexi. They became best friends ever since that day. In her character interview, Nia says that her favorite thing about Lexi is that she always knows how to cheer people up, and that she can get along with just about anyone. Her least favorite thing about Lexi is her impulsiveness.

On July 4, 2026, they received the ability to time travel together, making their friendship even more special as they share an ability nobody else has and rely on each other to use it.

Lexi and Nia's friendship is often considered an opposites-attract relationship, considering how different the two girls are. For instance, Nia is much more "put together" and organized than Lexi tends to be, however, she is much more anxious and overly cautious of the consequences of her actions, while Lexi tends to think before she acts and go with the flow of things. For their similarities, they are very creative but in different ways and both share a similar set of morals. They're always willing to help each other.

Sometimes they may fight over misunderstandings, but usually resolve things. Sometimes Lexi teases Nia for being a geek, but all in good fun and is never in a mean-spirited way, such as when Nia thought Lexi hated her, or when Lexi learned that Nia stopped Lexi from getting a boyfriend in middle school because she was afraid Lexi would abandon her. Even Lexi not believing that Nia's visions about being kidnapped by Chelsea are real. But they always end up apologizing in the end.

We see in Time Is Fragile how Nia truly cares about Lexi. She tries to help Lexi see her deceased father again by going into the past to meet him, even going past her normal standard of not going back to before they were born to change the timeline, just to see Lexi happy. However, they do end up having to fix it after Lexi becomes a different person in the new timeline they created, as Nia doesn't want to lose her best friend and prevent the birth of other innocent people like Cole, Jill, and Jade.

They help each other through hard and scary times in Season 1, such as when Nia and Mason stop being friends or when Chelsea tries to steal their powers. However, Lexi is afraid of Nia knowing her mistakes and sometimes Lexi will hide her mistakes so Nia doesn't think she is stupid. At the end of the Season 1, when Nia is killed by Chelsea, Lexi is heartbroken. However, with time travel, Lexi saves Nia's life, unbeknownst to Nia.

Mason Jenkins (best friend)[]

Mason and Nia met in fourth grade and have been in the same friend group ever since. They have a very close brother-sister relationship. They both are nerdy and share similar interests. When Nia and Ethan broke up during freshman year of high school, Mason was there to comfort her and give her a hug. In Best Friends For Never, when Mason's mom catches him at Lizzie's Halloween party and threatens to take him out of public school, Nia goes back to before that happens and warns him that his mom is coming, because she doesn't want him since he's one of her best friends after Lexi. In A Christmas In Time, Mason claimed to Gregory that he had a crush on Nia, but that was only to stop him from figuring out he had a crush on someone else. However, in New Year, New Nia and Time Is Fragile, he is very supportive of Gregory and Nia's potential relationship.

Things change between Mason and Nia In The Drama Queen, Mason learns that Nia is a time traveler and says he cannot trust her anymore because she kept the secret from him, and stops being her friend. This is because on the first day of fourth grade, they met and decided to become best friends, but only if she promised Mason that they'd never keep secrets any from each other. In Racing The Clock, Chelsea uses their fight to trick Mason into getting kidnapped, telling Nia and Lexi to give them her powers or else they will die. Nia and Lexi use their powers to open a time portal to save Mason and Lizzie. Because Nia saved Mason, he decides to be her friend again and Nia tells him and their friends everything about time travel so Chelsea can't trick them again.

Nia supports Mason's relationship with Wyatt, and tries to help them get together in Forest Dump. However, Nia doesn't succeed. Mason later succeeds in the relationship on his own.

Lizzie Hernandez (best friend)[]

Lizzie and Nia met in fourth grade and have been in the same friend group ever since. Although Nia and Lizzie are quite opposites when it comes to academics and school, they both care about each other. Nia was supportive of Lizzie coming out in middle school. In New Year, New Nia, Lizzie suspects that Nia likes somebody when she sees that Nia is buying flowers and is dressed fancily, which normally she rarely does, and her suspicions are correct. Lizzie is the first person to know that Nia has a crush on Gregory and she offers to help be her wingman. It ends up succeeding in the end as Nia later asks Gregory out to the upcoming Valentine's dance. However, Lizzie and Nia seem to be the people in the main friend group who interact the least.

Gregory Brandt-Díaz (boyfriend)[]

When Gregory moved to Watersman in the fall of 2025, Nia was one of the first people he met, as they sat next to each other in science class. In the first episode, An Ex To Grind, Nia goes back to that day to help Gregory break up with his long-distance girlfriend Kaycee, because he made a mistake in convincing her to stay with him, wasting her time for a year. Nia says she wanted to do something nice for him, even if he doesn't know it. In Best Friends For Never, Gregory and Nia compliment each other's costumes, Gregory was a black cat and Nia dressed as "Electricia," a superhero from Nia's favorite web comic. Gregory also asks Nia if she's okay after Nia had another vision of being taken to Chelsea's padded cell.

In New Year, New Nia, Nia, with the help of Lizzie, asks Gregory out to the dance when they meet outside of Jill's house in a nearby park and she gives him a flower. He says yes, and even gives her a hug on the bench. In Time Is Fragile, when Nia goes to the bakery to pick up Cole's birthday cake for Lexi, she runs into Gregory. He gets very flustered around Nia now that they've taken a step towards being more than friends, admitting to Mason that he doesn't know how to talk to girls, apart from his ex Kaycee whom he knew for a long time. Later in the day, Nia picks up on it, and tells him that he has nothing to worry about and that she finds him really cute.

In Only Time Will Tell, Gregory does whatever he can to stop Makayla from spreading Makayla's rumor that Gregory and Mason are dating because he doesn't want to lose his chances with Nia. After getting Makayla to delete the post, he ends up telling Makayla that he thinks Nia is cute, has an amazing personality and is very smart, and that she's going to amazing things with her life; basically admitting how much he wants to be with her. Makayla records this and posts it on her Instagram. When Nia sees it, she thinks he's so sweet.

In Dance Dance Resolution, Jill, while transformed as Nia with Chelsea's shape shifting machine and with Nia's stolen phone, sends Gregory a very mean Snapchat video message where she calls him ugly and says she doesn't want to be her friend anymore. Gregory, who is in his room, is hurt by what seems like his crush rejecting him and then blocks her, along with Mason and Lizzie who received similar videos. However, this is erased when Nia and Lexi go back in time and stop Jill from stealing Nia's phone. At the Valentine's Day Dance, Gregory and Nia dance together the whole time, until Nia is interrupted by "Mr. Hathaway" (who is really Chelsea) and their date is stopped as Chelsea puts a mind-control device on Nia and kidnaps her. However Lexi saves her. When they go back in time, Nia avoids Chelsea. After being in such a scary situation, Nia decides that life is too short to waste any more time, and she asks him to be her boyfriend. He says yes, and they have their first kiss. They spend the second half of the season as a couple. Nia tells him she is a time traveler, and introduces him to her parents. After the crazyness of what happened in Season 1, Gregory takes Nia on a vacation with her family.

In the future shown in Wrinkles in Time, Nia and Gregory eventually get married, and have kids and grandkids together.

Jill Charlotte (enemy)[]

"We're just joking around! Stop being such a sensitive crybaby!" -Jill to Nia in "An Ex To Grind"

Jill and Nia have been enemies since the first grade. Jill has always been very mean and has wanted to crush Nia's happiness. She ruined Nia's first day of her freshman year by beginning a relationship with Ethan, who breaks up with her in the morning and starts a relationship with Jill in the afternoon. Jill had experienced a breakup last spring, and had her eyes on Nia's boyfriend due to her jealousy that Nia was in a relationship and she no longer was.

In An Ex To Grind, it's the one-year anniversary of this happening and Jill makes many passive aggressive comments to Nia, rubbing it in her face that it's her first anniversary with Ethan. Lexi remarks that Jill seems more happy that it's the anniversary of Nia and Ethan's breakup rather than the anniversary of Jill and Ethan's relationship. Not only that, but Nia learns that she's going to be in the same Geometry class during first period as Jill, Ethan, and Jill's friend Rebecca for the rest of the year. When Mr. Jacobs says she cannot change seats, Nia realizes this means she's going to be made fun of by them all year long. Jill says that Ethan has no chance of going back with Nia because she's prettier than her and is more rich than her, as well as class president. Nia tells Lexi that she's tried to get on Jill's good side for years, but nothing has worked.

In Only Time Will Tell, when Jill learns that Nia is going to the dance with Gregory, she gets Makayla to try make it seem like Gregory doesn't like Nia by spreading the rumor that Gregory and Mason are dating. When Makayla fails, Jill is upset with her, showing how much Jill wants Nia to not be happy. In Dance Dance Resolution, Jill teams up with Chelsea to steal the time travel powers from Nia and ruin her life.

However, when that doesn't work in the Season 1 Finale, and Chelsea is put in jail, Jill vows to do the job herself, setting up her role as the main villain of Season 2.

Ethan Benedict (ex-boyfriend)[]

Nia and Ethan met in fifth grade and became good friends. She started dating him in the fall of 2023 in seventh grade, where they ended up having a two-year relationship. They often went to middle school dances together. However, on the first day of freshman year of high school, Ethan breaks up with Nia because he's in love with Jill. After breaking up with her, he made an effort to still be friends, but Nia, who was heartbroken, wanted nothing to do with him. In Only Time Will Tell, Nia and Ethan have a conversation about how they both failed Mr. Jacobs's super difficult test, and even the teacher gets their names wrong, calling them "Evan and Mia." When Jill starts yelling at Mr. Jacobs for her failing grade, Nia calls her a brat and Ethan stands up to Nia insulting her girlfriend. Nia thinks he's too blinded by his adoration for her to notice.

Grant Thompson and Harmony Thompson (parents)[]

Nia has a good relationship with her parents, she remarks that she has a good relationship with them in Season 1, Episode 2. She rarely ever gets in trouble with them, and for the most part, they trust her. We see in A Christmas In Time, her parents wake her up early to show her a cool news story on time travel, because they know that she's into sci-fi stuff. In Not So Great Grandparents, we learn that Harmony is a bit protective of Nia, and is mad at Nia's uncle for taking her to a concert that wasn't age-appropriate for her when she was twelve. In The Day It All Began, Nia admits that she can be a bit over-paranoid and cautious due to her mom's over-protectiveness. It's also implied that since her mom is a cop and has a weird work schedule, Nia sees her father more regularly than her mother. But Nia and her mother have their good moments too, such as when Harmony takes Nia to go dress shopping in Dance Dance Resolution.

In Fire and Vice, after Nia gets into a relationship with Gregory, her parents both have very different reactions. Grant is very excited for Nia, and can't wait to meet her, while Harmony tries to get Nia to leave him and doesn't really support the relationship because she's too afraid that her daughter will get heartbroken again, like she was with Ethan. However, Harmony ends up giving Gregory a chance after he helps put out a fire caused by Grant while cooking.
