Nadia Nikulina, better known as Gourmet Detective, is a major protagonist of the mystery game Process of Elimination. She gives off the impression of a serene and caring mother-like figure, but in reality, she's more than willing to end lives in order to stop the mysterious serial killer known as the Quartering Duke.

She was voiced by Akiko Nakagawa.

What Makes Her Magnificent?[]

Gives off a facade of being calm and kind, and hides her true self expertly, only ever being exposed due to revealing herself, outclassing practically every other character.
She has a rather sad past, as she was trapped behind rocks for a month at the age of 14, and only survived by eating concrete and rubble, showing ingenuity at a young age as well.
She's an anti-hero and an extremist whose main goal is stopping the Quartering Duke's serial murders, and will do whatever is necessary to accomplish that.
Is rather affable, acting nice to others even as she holds everyone's lives hostage.
Ends up exposing the Duke with the "This Button Will Cause Death" note having his fingerprints on them, revealing he has committed at least one crime. The Duke is a pretty intelligent person in his own right, so that's pretty impressive.
Is able to hide her secret FBI investigations, as well as her personal ones, rather effortlessly, despite being around some of the smartest detectives in the country.
Using her status as the "group chef", she drugs the group without anyone suspecting a thing.

What Makes Her a Baddie?[]

She drugs everyone with her food and straps bomb collars to their necks that will detonate if she herself ends up dead. She threatens to kill herself and take everyone down with her if they can't expose the Quartering Duke in one day. Considering the group includes primarily people under the age of 18, this is a pretty bold threat, and she's willing to act on it, too, as she nearly stabs herself in the throat when she fears they've lost to the Duke.
Screws with Workaholic's body to get revenge on him after he killed her friend Rowdy.

Trivia[]

She's one of two MBs in Process of Elimination, alongside Downtown Detective.
