Nimah Amin

Nimah Amin is a hidden recurring villainess from the ABC series, Quantico.

She is played by Yasmine Al Massri.

Nimah and her twin sister, Raina (also played by Massri), began as FBI recruits during Season One, but as part of a project created by Miranda Shaw, only Raina is recruited and the twins often swap places. As part of the experiment, Nimah had to don a hijab to pose as Raina; she is less religious than Raina and normally doesn't wear the headscarf. Nimah was finally revealed to the rest of the recruits after Simon Asher caught the twins together. Both sisters became FBI agents in a graduation ceremony during the Season One finale, "Yes." Beginning with the Season Two opener, "Kudove," Nimah becomes Ryan Booth's handler at The Farm.

In the final scenes of Season Two's "AQUILINE," Nimah turned villainous when she was revealed as a member of the Citizens Liberation Front, a terrorist group who infiltrated the G20 Summitt in the season opener. The group took Raina and Dayana Mampasi after killing Leigh Davis, but in the scene, "Raina" is revealed as Nimah, who removes the hijab and states that Dayana is "one of them"--while the real Raina is being held captive. In the winter finale, "ODENVY," the evil Nimah revealed her true alliance to Raina, and stated her reasons for joining the CLF. Nimah claimed that America will continue to be unaccepting of others different than them and that they'll never stop fighting each other, stating that the only way to survive is to fight dirty. She even attempted to convince her sister to join her, but she failed to do so.
