Na'el

Na'el is a character in Future Redeemed. She is Matthew's sister and the Founder of House Doyle of the present day City.
==Appearance and personality==
Na’el has gray hair styled into a fringe, with a pair of ears upon her head, similar to a Gormotti. She has yellow eyes, and a crystal similar to Mio’s on her chest. Na'el wears a sleeveless top, black waist-high shorts with a beige jacket donning green and black accents over it, and high-legged boots with green accents. After being possessed by Alpha, Na'el wears a white sleeved collared bodysuit with black accents, red shoulder pads, Monado-shaped decorations on her back, and a red Aegis core on her chest. In combat, Na'el uses telekinetic abilities from an unseen device called the Ether Accelerator. 
Na’el has a kindhearted personality, and frequently takes care of the children in the City. Unlike Matthew, Na'el thinks that it is better to not fight against Moebius and stay away from the war between Keves and Agnus. After Chyra's death at the hands of Kevesi soldiers, she tends to display a nihilistic view of the world, bearing a strong hatred of both Keves and Agnus, unconsciously embracing the endless now until convinced otherwise by Matthew. After her possession by Alpha, her mind is completely overtaken by his will to destroy the "old world" and leave for a new one, expressing hatred of all old life.
==Story arc==
===Future Redeemed===
After the destruction of the City, Na'el disappears, causing Matthew and A to search for her. At an unknown point, Na'el became possessed by the entity Alpha, becoming his avatar. The possessed Na'el and some Fogbeasts are first seen killing City refugees while they were fleeing from Kevesi soldiers.
Na'el is later seen in a flashback, training with her brother before being challenged by their grandfather in which he bests his pupils. After training, the kids under her watch, Chyra included, ask her to play Gaur Plain, Tomorrow With You, and Bringer of Chaos, Ultimate on the piano. 
In another flashback, she and Matthew discuss how the City's been at peace for the past 15 years, but Matthew has a feeling that it isn't over. In yet another flashback, Na'el and Matthew are seen saying goodbye to Chyra and some pioneers who went to establish a second CIty. Na'el, Matthew and some Liberators discover an empty Colony littered with husks, wondering if they died of starvation or were killed by the monsters. 
Later, Matthew and Na'el discover that the second City has been ransacked by starving Kevesi forces, with everyone including Chyra killed. This prompts Na'el to kill them in a fit of rage. After that, Na'el develops a hatred of both Keves and Agnus for their role in Chyra's death. Later at home, Na'el mumbles to Matthew how even without Moebius, people will always kill people.
The Alpha-possessed Na'el later attacks the party at . A reveals to Matthew that Na'el didn't disappear because she went missing, but because she became Alpha's avatar. N later interrupts their battle with the intent on killing Alpha (and by extension, Na'el) and manages to damage her core. Na'el weakly calls out to Matthew for help. Just as N was about to finish her off, Matthew blocks the blow and rages against him, only for A to talk him down, prompting Na'el / Alpha to disappear and use 's defense mechanism to reveal Origin. In a flashback, Matthew and Na'el are seen dispatching some Fogbeasts at Erythia Sea. After routing them, she discovers Ontos's core and took it home, where it gradually takes over her mind.
In a flashback during the City's fall, she encourages Ghondor to come with her in the circle. N then attacks her and defeats her. Just as he was about to kill her, Ghondor took the hit for her. At the same time, Matthew finds him dying and he tells him to run off with Na'el before causing an explosion, destroying the City.
After the party defeats N at the , the Alpha-possessed Na'el transports the party aboard the Ark. On it, Matthew hears a song being played in a piano near where they are, remembering that Na'el used to play the exact same song. He follows the sound and finds Na'el in the garden of a house. Na'el says that if they follow Alpha's plan this is what the world would look like. A shows her the Land of Morytha, that is, what this city will become in the future. Matthew adds that if she continues viewing the Kevesi and Agnians as people unworthy of life, she would be no different from Moebius. Na'el agrees and just as she joins the party, Alpha abducts her. The party fights Alpha and he then tries to possess Matthew as well, only for N to free them. Na'el later joins the party in defeating Alpha.
After Alpha's fall, N and the Founders go their separate ways, the City starts its reconstruction under the care of Na'el, Glimmer, Nikol, Linka, Panacea, and Riku. She, along with the other Founders, watch Matthew depart on an expedition to find more survivors.
