Appearance:

Naminé

Physical Features: The witch’s body is fit and curvy. She is of a medium height for her age, around the average, and is the exact same height as Kairi, her counterpart. She also has the exact same body structure as Kairi. There is also a similarity betwixt Naminé’s hair and Kairi’s; both hairstyles are naturally straight and down to the shoulders, but Naminé’s is of a fair blond color and sometimes curls around her neck, rather. Her skin is fair to match her blond hair and blue eyes and she is generally pretty.

Facial Features: Naminé’s eyes are of an entrancing, oceanic blue. Her face is soft and lush, and her cheeks sometimes have a pinkish sheen to them. Usually, her skin is entirely fair though. Lastly, her face is small and cute, and she has a fringe, covering most of her forehead.

Clothing: All Naminé wears is a simple, white dress which ends above her knees and which has shoulder straps. The ends at the bottom are rather wavy. She wears light blue sandals.

Miscellaneous Items/Articles: Naminé has a small, significant birthmark on her right shoulder. It is shaped almost like a star, or a Papou fruit.

Personality:

Resolve: Naminé wishes to find a way to make herself whole to end her suffering. She also wants to help make Sora, Roxas, Kairi and Riku happy, and the only way to do this is to mingle with their affairs. She wants to help out because they revolve around her life, and if they are all happy then they will be showered with bliss.

Pursuit: It acts like a chain; the only way for Naminé to be happy is if she is reunited happily with those she loves, and the only way to do this is to help them, and the only way to help them is to mingle with their affairs.

Fears: There are several things Naminé is afraid of and wishes to avoid: contact with the organization (other than Roxas and Axel); losing one she loves; witnessing a beloved one in pain; having to manipulate a beloved one once again; the white room; the Heartless. She isn’t so afraid of the Nobodies because she is a Nobody herself and because already holds an alliance with Roxas and Axel.

Hopes: Naminé hopes for the best, which is that everything will turn out just the way she pleads for it to be. She also has faith in herself and the ones she loves.

Hobbies: In Naminé’s free time, she will draw or explore. She likes to succeed her artistic skills and already has the ability to be creative without feeling emotions even though she sometimes can. When Naminé explores, she will most often try not to get into any danger, so she will often be restricted. That leaves room for a third hobby; hanging out and talking to her friends or beloved ones.

Public Personality In general, Naminé is quieter in public. This isn’t due to shyness or anything of the sort; in fact, Naminé can’t always feel shyness, even though her uniqueness as a Nobody gives her the ability to feel temporary and long-term emotions. It’s simply because she doesn’t want to encounter any unnecessary dangers. Since her entire life was filled with danger, it seemed wise to her not to dwell too much with strangers. However, in certain cases, she will be forced to do so. If she has access to one’s memories, it will be easier to determine if they are a threat are not, so these people are generally a little closer to her than the usual stranger, but only by a little.

Private Personality: Naminé is quite different with ones she is close to, such as Roxas or Sora. She will generally be more open and will try to show at least some emotion when speaking to them, as not to seem so empty and on the brink of nothingness. The witch generally requires a lot more attention from these people, but at the same time she would be more open to them in terms of discussing personal issues and negativity which she would be obliged not to release to the public.

Weapons:

Weapon Name: Naminé’s Light

Weapon Description: Basically, Naminé’s Light is made purely of Light. Seeing as Naminé originated from Kairi and Kairi was a Princess of Heart, she inherited the ultimate power of Light from her counterpart. Usually, the Light won’t be visible except when it shimmers on the opposition, but in certain cases, such as when Naminé uses a lot of concentration to try and attack perfectly, her hands will glow brightly as well. The reason why Naminé’s Light is a weapon is because it can be easily harnessed by Naminé and because it can be evaded in a similar way to how normal weapons are avoided, except one must use their mental strength to counter or avoid it rather than physical strength. If one can muster enough mental resistance to the Light then Naminé’s Light will have failed. It is just like a bow and arrow, where must one must shoot the arrow and the opposition should try to avoid it, and it also requires skill to be accurate and thus harmful. Furthermore, Naminé’s Light is not a very strong weapon as she doesn’t have that much skill with using it.

Unique Notes: Unlike most weapons, Naminé’s Light is not physical and the rays that are emitted from her are invisible [unlike the glows, which are visible]. as Naminé casts it upon the opposition. Also, it is called Naminé’s Light because Naminé discovered it herself, and believes that she is the one who created the weapon in the first place. It also has a distinctive color to its glow; it is a very, very faint pale blue.

Abilities:

Base Ability: Memory

Sub Abilities:

Painting a Picture: As a memory witch, Naminé has an immense power over the memories of Sora or those who revolve around him. Naminé can add completely new memories within these people’s Hearts, but in order to do so she must replace the new memories with ones that the people already hold. Creating memories takes time and in order to visualize the memory itself, and to maximize the effects and speed of the process, Naminé usually draws or paints the memory or memories in her sketchbook. If the memory is extremely strong and important to that person, certain physical possessions that they hold from the past may change to fit the new or changed memories. Applies to NPCs or RP characters (with permission).

The Severing Sin: Of course, the reason why Naminé has the title of ‘memory witch’ is because she can do terrible things to them if she wants to. Naminé has the devastating power to severe the memories of Sora or those around him (in truth, all she does is rearrange the memory so that the chains and links are broken and the memory is forgotten, but it is also referred to as severing as she can control how deep the memory goes into the person's unconscious). Naminé can make it so that the person will forget everything that ever occurred in that memory. When the witch severs a memory, it will dive deep into that person's unconscious. Depending on how powerful she inflicts the act of severing upon the victim, the memory might even become forever unreachable within that person's unconscious, leaving it lost and virtually destroyed. Naminé can severe memories of just about anything: abilities, events, people etc. What’s so scary about this ability is that Naminé has no limit to severing; she can go on and on and leave the person without any memories at all, a lifeless shell so naïve that nearly anyone could manipulate it. Applies to NPCs or RP characters [with permission].

Forgotten Remedy: But other than doing those horrible things, Naminé may also restore memories, which could extremely help a person in remembering things they forgot. She can do this in two ways: simply bringing the memory back to the consciousness of the person’s mind or replacing the forgotten memory with one within the person’s consciousness. She can only choose the first option if that forgotten memory is one which is missing from the person’s consciousness and is supposed to be there but it slipped away from the links to the other memories. If the memory has no place, however, in the person’s consciousness, then Naminé would have to replace it with one already in the person’s consciousness. Applies to NPCs or RP characters [with permission].
Note: the consciousness contains all the things which the person can remember

-----------------------
History: The witch first found herself in the Realm of Nothingness, teetering on the edge of existence. Since she had no past memories, she would have disappeared in oblivion if it wasn’t for the Organization who had rescued her (as one must recall their past memories in order to survive within the Realm of Nothingness). At this point, Naminé had nearly faded away into Nothingness and was so close to non-existing that one could say that the Organization had saved just on time. If they’d delayed any longer, Naminé would have fallen into oblivion. Naminé had no knowledge of the Organization when they first saved her, so she believed them to be benevolent beings because they took her away from the scary chasms of oblivion.

Marluxia brought her to Castle Oblivion, where she was required to live in a curious White Room for some time. The Organization told her that the White Room would help her with what she was meant to do. The reason why Naminé’s room was white and nearly empty was because Naminé held no memories of the past at all, and so the strange room took on this appearance. Also, the Castle Oblivion had no memory effects on Naminé because of the same reason the White Room was white and near to empty.

During her first few days spent in the White Room, Naminé was very unclear on who she was and what destiny she was meant to fulfill (as the Organization had informed her that she was required to complete a very important task with her ‘very special abilities’) and was very keen to learn, just like an infant without any past memories or knowledge. She also started to develop into a wiser being, at this time, at a fascinating rate. Her conscience and her very first memories were what dominated the base of Naminé’s personality. However, as she became more aware of the Nobodies around her, and as she grew into a smarter person, she discovered that she was not in benevolent hands at all.

However, Naminé couldn’t speak out for herself, as she soon learnt that she had no voice amongst the adult Nobodies. Because Naminé strongly obeyed her conscience and voiced her opinion many times, she was subjected to abuse, especially from Larxene, which would scare her into keeping her voice down. At the time, Naminé didn’t know that the Organization were more aware of her abilities than she was herself, and that if she tried her best to rebel it would slow down the succession of their ultimate goals. This is why the Organization decided to continuously blackmail Naminé, as they found that in abusing her she kept her voice down and that they, especially Larxene, had succeeded.

Over time, the Organization somehow showed Naminé mental images of the person who was going to be involved with her work. This person was a boy called Sora who was a Keyblade Master; in other words, he was a true hero. Sometimes, Naminé had dreams of Sora, dreams which the Organization inflicted upon her mind. These dreams were often nightmares and hardly pleasant at all; the Organization’s goal was to manipulate Sora and make him a puppet, and so they wanted Naminé to dislike him as much as possible. However, seeing as Naminé believed that the Organization wasn’t entirely good, they soon decided to add a little more spark to the fire.

When Naminé was nearly finished developing into a beautiful girl, the Organization began to fully investigate her differences as a unique Nobody. They found out that Naminé not only had no past memories, but she also had some emotions conceived mostly by her conscience. They eventually decided to exploit Naminé’s own fears against her. Seeing as the previous blackmail worked, Marluxia blackmailed Naminé once again by saying that she would be kept in Castle Oblivion forever by an eternal binding spell if she didn’t cooperate to her fullest extent. Knowing that the Organization was very powerful, Naminé was certain that Marluxia wasn’t lying. She was also very afraid of the White Room, as it made her feel imprisoned and unsafe (and this was another emotion that bewildered the Organization). So, Naminé agreed to do whatever it took to keep her freedom. As long as she fully manipulated Sora, she would be free. Due to the fact that most of the truth of Sora and his connections and such to Naminé were kept secrets, it was easier for Naminé to falsely believe that Sora wasn’t very important, but of course she had no evidence to support this.

Before Sora was brought to the Castle, Naminé was to prepare for her work by practicing her abilities. Aided by Vexen, a completely loose copy of Sora was created from the data which the Superior had managed to collect from Sora within the Garden of Radiance. Naminé was told to create memories, place these memories within the fake Sora and to then manipulate them to her fullest in order to have complete control over her powers. Naminé was given a sketchbook by Marluxia to do this; she drew memories of romantic country-sides, breezy beaches and beautiful sunsets. Soon, the fake Sora was filled with a radiance that warmed Naminé even though she knew it was fake and all just a method of practice. Then, she severed some of these memories and rearranged them, as well as pushed some of them back into the fake Sora’s unconsciousness in order to make room for more memories. This was her best and only way to fully have control over her abilities. However, it also made Naminé aware of her true powers, some of which were scary and very dangerous, and because of this her confidence was diminished even more so.

Now and then, when Naminé would doze off or fantasize about how life would be like away from the Castle, she would be threatened by the Organization. If she even gave the thinnest impression of rebelling against the Organization using her powers, Larxene would use physical violence and verbal intimidation to tame her and Marluxia would use his agonizing words to threaten her so she would remember the blackmail. Naminé never met Zexion and Lexaeus, but from what she heard they were just as bad as the others. Soon, Naminé fell into a state of extreme despair and at once she could see that the only way out of the nightmare was if she could get Sora to help her.

Of course, this enlightening hope only brightened Naminé’s despair when Sora actually came to the castle. Upon arrival, she went to work immediately, but at the same time plotted when it would be the right time to execute a rebellion with Sora against the Organization. Marluxia asked her what she believed would help to take complete control over Sora, and Naminé suggested that using herself in the memory changing to replace Kairi would be the best method, as Kairi was one of the most important things to Sora and luring him to the witch would enable him to travel through the Castle for the longest period of time, which would greatly help with the memory changing process. She also stated that she couldn’t just rid Sora of all his memories because there was a special barrier around him that prevented him from doing so; in other words, he was too powerful. This was a lie, but Marluxia liked the other idea anyway and so Naminé went to work, drawing fake memories.

Naminé soon heard about Riku and how he arrived at the castle before Sora. One of the members created a Riku Replica that Naminé was to manipulate so that he would believe that he was the real Riku. The witch had a feeling that the plan would fail but proceeded without hesitation. She created many memories while the replica was asleep, still in the ‘process of birth’. She was aware that the replica continuously clashed with the real Riku and with Sora, to their own great confusion. But very soon afterwards, Naminé managed to get to Sora herself, out of extreme loneliness and guilt, a moment she’d been waiting for for a very long time. Once she came to him, she informed him that his memories of her were false and felt true guilt consume her. But to her surprise, he forgave her as he understood the fact that she was being manipulated by the Organization.

When Sora defeated the Replica, Sora gave him a chance to survive but the replica instead saw his chance to strike Sora. However, Naminé protected Sora by damaging some of the replica’s memories, temporarily disabling him and knocking him unconscious. Subsequently, Larxene arrived and she decided to spite Sora by hurting Naminé. To her misfortune, this angered Sora who eventually destroyed her. Naminé then informed Sora on how he could restore his memories, but he would first have to kill Marluxia. Captured by the Graceful Assassin once again, he demanded that she ruin Sora’s memories quickly. However, Naminé refused and Sora defeated Marluxia once and for all. Naminé then let Sora rest in the pod that would restore his memories.

She also encountered Riku while he was in the castle, helping him by showing that it was not wrong to wield Darkness. She also asked him if he wanted to defeat his Darkness by residing in the pod for some time, but he insisted that he could demolish the Darkness himself.

After these events, DiZ brought Naminé and Riku to him. He wanted to use Naminé to bring Roxas to Sora, and this Naminé did, not in DiZ’s interest but for Roxas and Sora. She also helped with the memory restoration but at the same time went out of DiZ’s boundaries by explaining everything to Roxas as, unlike DiZ, she believed that Nobodies were Somebodies too. After this, she helped Kairi, who was imprisoned by the Organization, to escape, and she did this using the Dark Corridor which she found she could travel through if she used her own Light to protect herself. Once she helped everything settle down and returned to Destiny Islands within Kairi, everything was swell…

Until existence dawned upon her being once again for unknown reasons.*
