Namine

Namine is a character from the Kingdom Hearts series.
== Charactah Account ==
Naminé has the ability to change memories of those in relation to Sora by rearranging them and creating new links between them. Under orders from the Organization, she altered Sora's memories to remember her as a close friend from Destiny Islands, and eventually replacing Kairi. She almost completed her task until Axel allows her to leave his sight. Naminé then manages to reveal herself and the truth to Sora. Once Marluxia is defeated, Naminé has Sora, Donald, and Goofy step into devices that will put them to sleep for a year so she can rearrange the chains of their memories, but break the ones that she created.As a result, Sora's memories of Naminé will be erased. Naminé also helps save Riku in Reverse/Rebirth from Zexion by taking on Kairi's appearance to convince Riku not to refuse the darkness within his heart while drowning in light. When they meet in person, she offers to lock away the darkness of his heart so that it can never hurt him again, but he refuses the offer, opting to battle the darkness. Afterwards she contacted DiZ to help protect Sora, Donald and Goofy.
Naminé is revealed to be a "special Nobody" born from Kairi's heart when it left Sora's body. As Kairi had no darkness in her heart, her heart hid within Sora's body instead of becoming a Heartless when Destiny Islands was consumed by darkness. When Sora impaled himself with the dark Keyblade, his body and soul were used to create not only Roxas, but Naminé as well. As a result of this, she has none of Kairi's memories. Naminé's special birth in conjunction with the fact that Kairi's heart had been in direct contact with Sora's is why, DiZ states, that Naminé's special powers could only affect the memories of Sora and those whose hearts are connected to his, which was why she was used by Organization XIII. Despite DiZ's orders, Naminé visits Roxas in Twilight Town. She appears to him several times, often before he is attacked by Nobodies, acting somewhat as a guide to him. Riku was instructed by DiZ to destroy Naminé since he has no more need of her. However, as seen in KH2 Final Mix, Riku decided to let her go with Axel to repay the favor to her for Castle Oblivion. She is not seen again until near the end of the game where she frees Kairi and Pluto from imprisonment and they attempt to escape from the Organization's stronghold. Naminé gives up her own existence as an independent entity and fuses with Kairi to complete her, just as Roxas had with Sora in the beginning of the game.

== Trivia ==
* Naminé's name can also be translated to "sound of the wave" in Japanese, since the character "oto" can be pronounced as "ne". Alternatively, her name can mean "born from the wave", because of the French "né" at the end of her name ("né" is the past participle of the verb "naître", which means "to be born"). However, this may have just been added in the English releases to ensure that her name was pronounced the same way it was intended in the Japanese original.
* Although, Naminé is the Nobody of Kairi, in which a Nobodies ability in general is derived from the original self, she doesn't appear to have gained actual abilities that Kairi exhibits as a Princess of Heart nor is Kairi shown to have the ability to manipulate memories like Namine.
* Namine is the only known Nobody to be born from a Princess of Heart - a being that is incapable of producing a Nobody.
* Naminé's attribute as a Nobody is not shown in the Ultimania's like other Nobodies, however, Nomura stated that her attribute is "Memory" in an interview.
* Naminé is the only character from the boxart cover of Kingdom Hearts III to not be featured in the opening of the Kingdom Hearts III game.
** Aside from this, she is the last person to reunite with protagonist characters (Sora, Roxas, and the rest of the protagonists) at Kingdom Hearts III.
* At The Final World in Kingdom Hearts III, Naminé made an appearance as a star-shaped heart. The reason for this is because she had formed her own heart before first merging with Kairi. When the Demon Tide attacked, it split Naminé away from Kairi's heart but Naminé managed to retain her own heart and her existence because Kairi holding onto to those deeply connected to her; this being Naminé herself, and Sora. She was unable to retain her form/body because she is Kairi's nobody, and she already had merged with Kairi at the end of Kingdom Hearts II.
* Naminé, along with the Wayfinder trio, and Roxas are the only protagonist characters who remained in their same outfit throughout the series since their debut thus far.
* Naminé, followed by Olette, Skuld, Strelitzia have their hair longer than the majority of the female characters.
* On interesting note, if wasn't for Sora having Kairi's heart in his body in Kingdom Hearts I, her heart would've been taken with the other princesses that were already captured, then by extension the Door to Darkness would've been opened sooner as well as Naminé not being born.
* According to the KH Series Ultimania Alpha, Namine had initially gained resolve and was going to break Axel's heart, like she did with Replica Riku, when he said "you have my sympathies from the heart" but she gave up when he crushed her resolve by saying "we nobodies can never hope to be somebodies".
