==Biography==
===Background===
Nari was a demigod who, alongside Bellroc and Skrael, has created the universe alongside them with the Titans as their handmaidens, and watched over magics, the three of them forming the Arcane Order, to maintain the balance between magic and mankind. However, they saw mankind destroy the balance, so they devoted themselves to protecting said balance. At some point in her life, Nari also met Morgana and Guinevere when they were children, only for Arthur to come swinging at her with a wooden sword and call her a demon.
However, over time, Nari acknowledged that they were bringing pain, destruction, and misery instead of balance, while Bellroc and Skrael didn't. When the latter two changed their plot to breaking the Genesis Seals to reduce the universe to nothingness and remake the Earth because Morgana failed them, Nari renounced the Arcane Order and sought refuge in the flying castle of Camelot so they can't reach her nor destroy the Genesis Seals.
===Wizards===
Nari is first seen when the floating castle of Camelot is attacked by the Arcane Order. She goes posthaste to Merlin and tells her that the attack is her fault, the likely reason being because she has been hiding from the Arcane Order and they are now after her. However, Merlin tells her that she must help him take the floating Camelot back in time to the 12th century, which she says that she will do what she can. She then uses her magic to empower the Heart of Avalon so it can open a time rift to the 12th century. However, Bellroc and Skrael, alongside the Green Knight, use their own magic to destroy the Heart and cause Camelot to collapse from the sky onto Arcadia Oaks-High, and only Douxie Casperan, Jim Lake Jr., Claire Nuñez, and Steve Palchuk make it through.
During the 12th century, it is shown that she, alongside Bellroc and Skrael, resurrected Morgana as their champion to bring back the balance of magic and mankind after her first death, though Bellroc and Skrael were intending to use her as their pawn and cared nothing about her. After the Battle of Killahead Bridge, when Bellroc and Skrael saw it too late to bring back the balance, Nari still believed in bringing back the balance and realized that through their actions, all the Arcane Order has caused was death and destruction, not true balance. She tried to convince the two that all of the suffering they caused was not worth it, but they refused to listen to her.
Back in the present, Nari is almost captured by King Arthur after he has become the Green Knight, but Jim sacrifices himself to rescue her and the Guardians of Arcadia by pushing the Onyx shard into his chest, rendering him from a half-troll to a complete troll, after which he is captured by Arthur and taken to the Arcane Order's flying fortress. There, Arthur pries the Amulet of Daylight from Jim's chest, and Skrael and Bellroc destroy it in a spell that returns Morgana back to the planet Earth.
Meanhile, when she and the Guardians of Arcadia reach HexTech, Nari and Merlin explain the Arcane Order's past, and she reveals that she fled because all three members of the Arcane Order are needed to open the Genesis Seals. She also searches for Jim's soul, but couldn't find it anywhere. However, Claire concludes that his soul is in the Shadow Realm, and while she does find his soul, she is unable to turn him back because he's being controlled by the Arcane Order. Afterwards, the Guardians of Arcadia and Nari are captured by the Order to their fortress, where Bellroc and Skrael tell Arthur to secure Nari. However, before he could do any harm to her, Morgana pushes him out the window and finds redemption when she strips him of his right to wield Excalibur, as he is no longer worthy of it, both of them being killed during their battle. Nari is freed by Douxie, who shields her by sacrificing himself in a battle against Bellroc and Skrael while she flees. After Douxie defeats them both and destroys their fortress, she flees with him to a populated city to hide from the Arcane Order.
===Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans===
In a subway in Metro City, Nari and Douxie are eventually found by Bellroc and Skrael and the former is taken by the Order, though the Guardians of Arcadia do everything they can to stop it. However, Douxie manages to swap bodies from Nari to ensure that the world is kept safe. Later on, as only her presence is necessary for them to unlock the Genesis Seals, they attempt to do so, only to find out that Douxie is inhabiting Nari's body. As Nari tells the Guardians of Arcadia about the Khronisfere and that the Trollhunter will make the Ninth Configuration, she and Douxie are tortured by them both to force them back into their original selves. With the real Nari returned to them, Bellroc and Skrael unlock the Genesis Seals, with the former mind-controlling Nari under a spell that will make her tuck back to evil, and the Titans are unleashed upon the world.
As Nari is traveling on the Earth Titan through Brazil to the Heartstone which is beneath the center of the universe, the town of Arcadia-Oaks, Douxie, AAARRRGGHH!!!, and Nomura try to stop her, but Nomura is killed in the process. Despite this, Douxie returns with Jim and Claire and reaches out to Nari, telling her the same thing she told him earlier, that it is time to fight back against the Arcane Order. This undoes Bellroc's mind-control spell on Nari, and she returns to her true self, seeing all of the damage she has caused. Nari and Douxie then hug each other, and she chooses to use the Earth Titan to save the universe from being destroyed by the Arcane Order.
While Skrael is atop the Ice Titan in Arcadia National Park and traveling to the last surviving Heartstone, Claire makes a portal out of shadow magic big enough for Nari and the Earth Titan to go through, and Nari immediately fights Skrael, who is baffled on how Nari was freed from the Arcane Order's control, but Nari tells him that her friends helped to set her free to finally stop their plans. During the battle, Skrael almost kills Coach Lawrence and many high-school students on a school bus, but Nari swings him away from them, saving their lives. Later, Nari is fatally wounded when Skrael uses the Ice Titan to stab through the Earth Titan, but Nari strikes one last time by using the Earth Titan to stab the Ice Titan, resulting in both of their deaths as well as the deaths of their respective Titans.
