Before the events of the game Nuibaba lived happily with a man with whom she had fallen in love. Unfortunately she was set upon one night by brigands and sustained a deforming wound to her face. Her love began avoiding her in favor of Nuibaba's younger and prettier sister. Eventually, wishing to be rid of Nuibaba, the man and her sister lured her to a remote location in the woods and threw her off a cliff, intending to kill her; she survived this by making a contract with [[Medusa|a spirit]] that had sensed her dying presence. After killing her former lover and sister she secluded herself and turned her focus to extending her lifespan and enhancing her beauty using maidens collected from the region.<ref>{{Cite web| quote=A witch of the Duma Faithful. She is contractually bound to Medusa. She resides in a hall upon Fear Mountain and torments the locals in her vicinity alongside Jerome of Rigel. She became a witch not out of swearing oath to Duma, but by her own means simply to be beautiful and able to use dark spells. She seeks to preserve her youth by sacrificing beautiful young maidens from all across Rigel.

There was once a time where she was a pretty young girl who lived happily with the man she loved. However, one night she was attacked by bandits who left a hideous wound on her face. The man started to avoid Nuibaba in favor for her prettier younger sister. Growing tired of Nuibaba’s presence, the man and the younger sister schemed and lured Nuibaba deep into the woods. There, they pushed her off a cliff. As Nuibaba lay on the brink of death, a ghastly apparition appeared before her –attracted to the scent of death. She formed a contract with it and found herself restored with the promise of a longer life. After taking revenge upon the man and sister who had backstabbed her, she secluded herself to the woods where she became obsessed with power and beauty, eventually becoming a witch. That lust for power drew her attention to Alm’s brand which would grant her both eternal youth and life.

Despite her plan to stir up Berkut’s fiery spirit against Alm, he was defeated. After that, she tried to lure Alm to her abode by using a phantom of Celica, but he managed to break through that plan too. | author=XKAN | published=April 5 2018 | retrieved =April 5 2018 | url=https://kantopia.wordpress.com/2018/04/05/fe-sov-valentia-accordion-page-115-dolth-nuibaba-profile-translations/ | title=FE SoV: Valentia Accordion Page 115: Dolth & Nuibaba Profile Translations | site=Kantopia}}</ref>
