Nana is kin to Micah Sanders' father, D.L. Hawkins, and is the only person that Niki Sanders felt comfortable with giving Micah to while she tended to some things in season 2. Later, in Volume 4, she is captured along with her grandchildren. At an airplane hangar, Nana along with Monica (but strangely no Damon) are hooded, drugged and dressed in an orange jumpsuit and are later seen being loaded onto the plane. However, she wasn't undrugged and unhooded by Claire. The plane later falls down and she (along with her granddaughter) miraculously survive but are recaptured.
