–Nina Campbell to Dick Solomon | ||
Nina Campbell is Dick and Mary's administrative assistant, who often has to put up with Dick demanding things of her that she isn't paid to do (such as taking his car to have its tires rotated) to which she takes a no-nonsense stance. Nina is very assertive and often has a sarcastic sense of humor usually aimed in Dick's direction.
Relationships
She has a generally friendly relationship with Mary, who was her first supervisor. Later, when Dick was assigned to the office and Nina's workload doubled, but her pay did not. Perhaps it is because of this that Nina dislikes Dick so much. She calls him immature and is very cynical and sarcastic when around him. But Dick also mistreats her; instead of treating her like a human being, he decides that assistant means slave. Dick often attempts to send her on errands, such as doing his dry cleaning, or driving him to the doctor, or even ordering and picking up meals for him. At one point Dick fired Nina, but she still had her job with Mary.
Nina also had a short relationship with Harry Solomon, before chasing him out of her apartment after finding the money he had left under her pillow. Harry had left the money there in lieu of the tooth fairy, but Nina misunderstood the gesture.
Sally Solomon considers Nina to be one of her best friends and often goes to her for advice. Nina not only advises Sally but she advises Mary as well. In fact after Mary found out that Dick was married it was Nina who encouraged Mary to go out with Dick again after his wife had left. She is often very firm when advising Mary, but almost always right in her judgment.
Career
Nina works at the University, despite the meager pay that she often complains about, because she is allowed to take free classes.
Alternate Universe
In the episode Dick'll Take Manhattan, Dick is a lawyer and when he attends court he faces Judge Campbell. She comes across much more professional and hard-nosed than the Nina Campbell back home.
