Nah

{{char}} - full name Nah is Nowi's daughter in Fire Emblem: Awakening. She is a short, slender girl with wide pointed ears, long green hair that are in two front braids choppy bangs and a big cowlick at the top of her head, and purple eyes. Her attire is a long-sleeved white dress with red trim, light pink garter stockings, brown gloves, and red thigh boots. She wears a collared red cape as well.

Background: Nah was born as a half-breed Manakete and is proud of her Manakete heritage. Nah is a unique Manakete, unlike Nowi and Tiki, as Nah's transformed skintone is a unique shade of pink rather than the standard yellow-green. Nah was too young to remember her mother, Nowi, and her father as they had died in battle. Nah was given Nowi's wedding ring, which she always wears. Orphaned, Nah was sent to a family of one of her father's army friends. However, the family was unkind to Nah because of her hybrid status. Nah did her best to appease her new family by doing chores before being asked and defending their household from Risen at night. Despite all this, not one of her foster family was ever grateful nor did they ever acknowledge her. Nah lived feeling alone and unwanted, only wishing for her parents to return home. Eventually she joined Lucina and the rest of the children to return to the past to prevent the ruinous future.

In her Paralogue, Nah is lost in the Manor of Lost Souls and Risen soldiers have swarmed the manor. Luckily, Chrom's army is nearby with her mother, Nowi, who manages to find her. Nowi is ecstatic to meet another Manakete, though is confused with Nah's name. Nevertheless Nah joins Chrom's army after they leave the Manor. With nowhere to go, Nah offers to stay with Chrom's army, which Chrom happily accepts. Nah asks Nowi if she recognizes the ring on her finger. Nowi notices that it's the exact same ring as her ring from her husband. Nah explains that it is the exact same one which she got after Nowi died in the future. Nowi senses that Nah is fighting back tears, but Nah tells her since she is a Manakete, she must maintain a strong appearance. Nowi tells her it is okay since she cries a lot herself. Nah finally cries, happy to be reunited with her mother.

After the war, Nah would spend the rest of her long, Manakete life educating humans about Grima.

Personality: In contrast to her mother, Nah tries to be mature for her age and is accustomed to controlling her emotions. This is due in part to her upbringing of neglect by her foster family as they did not give Nah the emotional or familial support she desired after the loss of her parents. Her desperation to gain their attention and affection lead to a desire to prove her worthiness so she would not be cast aside again in the present timeline.

She is proud of her Manakete heritage and is eager to learn all she can about the Manakete way of life once she arrived in the present timeline. She has inherited much of the Manakete physical traits and has stated that she occasionally has feral urges which she unleashes from time to time in a secluded forest to prevent her allies from being caught during her rampages. She strikes up a friendship with Tiki, but has come to terms with the fate of all Manaketes and their relationship with humans, namely that she will vastly outlive most of her comrades. She does vow to make the most of the time she has with her human friends and especially her father.

Her bond with her mother in particular, the source of her Manakete heritage, is a somewhat strained one as Nowi's carefree nature clashes with her serious one. However, she later learns after spending time with her that Nowi's playtime between battles is simply a method for her to train and Nah begins to respect her more, taking Nowi's suggestions more to heart.

Despite her outward appearance of maturity, she still has moments of childishness and is essentially still a child in Manakete years. She can be somewhat possessive of people. Nah openly questions her father's intentions to marry Nowi, but immediately drops the subject when they snap at her for being rude. She uses her Manakete form as a threat, declaring that she will devour whomever is disturbing her.

Nah also, to an extent, dislikes her unusual name and wishes that she had a much more normal one. She has the best teeth in the army.
