## Background

Naida has known Farran Leafshade, Azari Firedancer, and Aira Windwhistler since they were young (or, in Naida's terms "teeny tiny kids."). She has known Ragana since then, but was never on close terms with her, especially since Ragana turned to dark magic. Naida first appeared in "Unite The Magic", and has been main character in *LEGO Elves* ever since.

Shortly after meeting Emily, Naida teamed up with Farran, Aira, and Azari to help get Emily back home. Naida helped them retrieve the water key. After finding all the keys and helping Skyra overcome her grief, Emily was able to use the portal and return to earth. Emily now visits frequently and the five are the best of friends.

## Personality

Naida might be a little more reserved than her friends, but when encouraged to, she will let loose and join in the fun. She seems to have stage fright, feeling uncomfortable with dancing in front of her friends, or talking in front of a camera. Naida doesn't seem to have as much thirst for adventure as her friends, avoiding scary situations that can potentially lead to danger (such as exploring a cave.) Although she might prefer to spend time at her relaxing and peaceful spa, Naida would never let a little thing like fear stop her, and won't hesitate to go on a mission.

## Appearance

Naida has aqua hair with a dark blue gradient which she leaves long and flowing. A braid goes across the top of her head, as a headband would. She also has aqua eyes, a light complexion, and one facial tattoo – a white, water-themed mark on her cheek. On her shoulder is the water insignia (a crescent-shaped wave). She also wears a swirling blue crown on her forehead.

Note: Even when they were young Azari, Aira, Farran, and Naida had their cheek and arm tattoos. The girls’ forehead crowns, however, appear to be absent.

### Season 1

Much like her hair, Naida’s dress is mostly aqua, with some darker blue accents on the bodice. The top part of her outfit has thin straps and resembles a halter top, while the skirt part has a gauzy, flowing overlay with a translucent pale-blue fabric. For footwear, she wears aqua sandals with blue seashells on the straps. In terms of accessories, she sports an aqua wrist-cuff on one arm.

### Season 2

Naida wears a deep-blue dress.  It is sleeveless, although one side of it extends towards the shoulder, giving the illusion of a one-shoulder dress.  Again, a gossamer material flows around the skirt part of her outfit. A crescent-shaped wave is printed at the waist, while aqua swirls and white bubbles decorate the bodice. She wears deep blue sandals.

### Season 3

Naida’s outfit is mainly turquoise. The bodice swoops down into a V-neck, to reveal another fabric in a darker shade of blue. A piece of dark-blue fabric can also been seen peeking out from the folds of her skirt. A silver necklace with conjoining circles and swirls completes the look. She also wears turquoise sandals with silver straps. In the transition to the new art style, her hair no longer has a wavy effect.

### Season 4

The upper-half of Naida's shirt is turquoise, while the lower-half of her shirt is an extremely pale shade of blue. There is a piece of navy-blue material covering one of her shoulders with the water insignia on it. Attached to his shoulder-pad is a thin strip of navy-blue material that crosses her torso diagonally. Her skirt is mainly turquoise, with a piece of pale blue fabric peeking out.

## Relationships

### Friends

Naida's closest friends are Emily, Azari, Aira, and Farran. She is acquainted with Skyra, and is also friendly with Sophie, Emily's little sister. In Season 2, Naida became friends with Tidus and Sira, as well as a number of dragons. In Season 3, Rosalyn and Naida originally didn't get along. After working out their differences, Rosalyn is now on good terms with Naida. She meets Lumia in Season 4, who becomes a valuable ally.

Naida also has a bond with Merina the dragon and Cory the water guardian. Delphia is Naida’s animal companion.

### Romance

Naida and Aira get a bit dreamy-eyed over Tidus during Dragons to Save. Similar to Aira though, Naida appears to be happy for Sira and Tidus in Rumor Has It.

In the extra Did you Miss us? webisode, Naida thinks Cronan is "dreamy," and believes that there's still a bit of good left in him.
