Nori (Barbie: Fairytopia)

==History==
===Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia===
When Prince Nalu is kidnapped by Laverna's minions, Elina asks Nori for help. They get off to a rough start, with Nori insisting she could do the work herself and being too stubborn to give Elina any information about Mermaidia because she thought Elina and Nalu were in love, which made her jealous of Elina. She even tries to out-swim Elina after Elina got the information from the Mer-fairy and not her, but Elina still followed her because she said she will help her find Nalu whether she liked it or not, so Elina has no choice but to follow her and let Nori lead the way.
Once Nori is snatched by seaweed in the Depths of Despair, Elina gives up her wings to become a mermaid and thus swim further to help Nori. After she frees her, Elina is trapped, and Nori returns the favor to help her as they both swim on for the information. They become friends and work together to save Nalu from two Fungus soldiers of Laverna guarding him while their boss, Fungus Maximus, searches for the Immunity Berry. Elina then discovers the reason why Nori was rude to Elina when they first met. It was because Nori had a crush on Nalu, and was jealous because she thought Elina and him were in love. Nori also felt insecure because, being a commoner, she believed that she would never really have a chance of being with Nalu, since he was royalty. Elina reassured Nori that she wasn't and Nori forgave Elina.
When Nalu was saved, Fungus Maximus forced Elina to hand over the Immunity Berry or he would drop the vial of Laverna's poison he possessed into the water, killing Nori, Nalu, and all of Mermaidia by sundown. Though she gave up the berry, Max still dropped the vial to ensure Mermaidia's annihilation. Elina caught the vial, but wasn't out of the water in time to get her wings back. Seeing Elina was upset at being a mermaid permanently and couldn't go home to Fairytopia now and would have to live in Mermaidia instead, Nori gives Elina the true-self berry to see if it would turn her into a fairy again. It worked and she got her wings back. Nalu told Nori that they now could go back to what they were supposed to be doing together, placing her hand in his, and Nori was surprised, because she thought Elina and Nalu were in love. Elina told her that Nalu was only her friend, and after implying that Nori liked Nalu, he was surprised and expressed that he had feelings for her too, despite her commoner status. It is likely the two ended up becoming a couple afterwards.
==Personality==
At first glance, Nori seems rude and uninviting, as she refused Elina's help when the fairy first arrived to Mermaidia. She can be very tempered and easily angered. She can also be jealous, pushy, rude, and sneaky. 
But once she and Elina become friends, Nori's personality changes drastically. She showed other side of her nature: helpful, kind, and daring.
She is also very brave, searching for Nulu and willing to go to the bottom of Depths of Despair (which earns her the crest of courage- a blue colored mark on both of her arms. Elina got a magenta version herself, but lost it when she became a fairy again.)
