	At first sight I thought it was a cat that passed me by, just a few meters behind me. A shadow that moved without sound. But yelling is not wise in this place. I have spotted her more times, but just in the peripheral. I still don’t know her name, but she evades the monsters with a certain grace.
	~ Unknown (Potentially Benedict Baker)

Nea Karlsson is one of 46 Survivors currently featured in Dead by Daylight.

She was introduced as the Survivor of CHAPTER 1: The Last Breath Chapter, a Chapter DLC released on 18 August 2016.

Overview

Years of evading authorities and navigating the streets of Sweden have kept the elusive Nea Karlsson one step ahead. Capable of escaping in a pinch, her catlike agility has gotten her out of trouble time and again.

Nea Karlsson is an Urban Artist, able to easily escape and hide.

Her personal Perks, Balanced Landing, Urban Evasion, and Streetwise, make her well suited to completing Objectives and rapid evasion.

She is focused around movement - making her faster, more balanced, and better at evading the Killer.

Lore

Additional Lore can be found in Tome 5 - Unleashed: Rebel With a Cause.

Nea is of Swedish descent, a tagger and a bit of a troublemaker. She started rebelling when she was 16, she dyed her hair black and cut it in a way she liked it. In her early teens, her parents thought she lacked that thing that makes everyone else "normal". She may have gone too far when her friends, not thinking well, dared her to tag the old asylum. She was never seen again, and now tries her best to survive the Entity's dangers.

Nea grew up in the small town of Hjo in Sweden. She had a happy childhood even though her mom and dad worked hard. As the opportunity to move to the US became a reality she started acting out. Her parents didn’t really pick up on this as a reaction to their move. Nea was forced to leave her friends and life behind. Nea shied away from what her parents considered “normal”. Instead she took refuge in skate parks, and her tag “Mashtyx” was seen more or less all over her new hometown, and Nea made a sport out of tagging government buildings. Finally Nea’s parents became used to Nea disappearing for a few days on end. As she’s nimble and almost catlike, she’s able to evade deadly dangers. Years on skateboards has proven worthy training. And keeping her head down, avoiding the fuzz can be applied to all dangers. The only question is whether she has some interest in not giving up.

Unique Perks

Nea comes with 3 Perks that are unique to her:

	Balanced Landing	Your agility and cat-like relexes are incomparable. After falling from a height, you benefit from the following effects: Reduces the duration of the Stagger upon landing by -75 %. Suppresses all noises related to falling from height. Grants a +50 % Haste Status Effect for 3 seconds upon landing. Balanced Landing causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Balanced Landing cannot be used when Exhausted. "I have jumped from higher places." — Nea Karlsson
	Streetwise	Long nights out taught you to do a lot with what you have got. Increases the Efficiency of your Items by 15/20/25 %. Streetwise extends its effect to all other Survivors within 8 metres of your location and lingers for 15 seconds. "You are doing it wrong! Let me show you how it is done." — Nea Karlsson
	Urban Evasion	Years of evading the cops taught you a thing or two about stealth. Increases your Crouching Movement speed by 90/95/100 %. "The paint is still fresh but I am long gone." — Nea Karlsson

Prestige

Prestiging Nea will automatically add Tier I of her Unique Perks to the inventories of all other Survivors and unlock the ability for their higher-tiered versions to spawn in their Bloodweb.

Change Log

Patch 5.1.0

Rework: updated facial model and texture as part of The Realm Beyond - Part 6 Graphical Update.

Trivia

Nea was the first Survivor to be introduced as a DLC.
Nea was the first Survivor originating from Europe, specifically Sweden.
Nea's graffiti tag is "Mashtyx", which can be seen on the Perk Streetwise.
Nea had a kitten, which she had named "Rotten" and dressed in a punk rock outfit.
The Rift that accompanied Tome 10 - SAW featured it as a Charm.

Cosmetics Trivia

The Key Art showcasing Nea's Very Rare Outfit, Graft-Crafter, which was released in mid-2020, shows Nea caught on a security camera.
The camera's HUD overlay shows the date 11 March 2021 (11/03/2021), which at the time of the Outfit's release, was several months in the future still.
Nothing special happened on that day once it arrived.

Character Meme

Due to her looks and emotionless face before the graphical rework, a running gag had developed amongst the Community, that Nea was secretly the personification of The Entity.
