Naree

> Yes, it's true. I do often use underhanded or cruel tactics sometimes to further achieve my own goals. But you should know I'm not just a dishonorable person because I'm not selfish enough to sacrifice others for the sake of my own good."

Naree Suwan is one of the main characters of Warped Eternity: Living Destruction's Abyssal Remnants. She is the current Dusk Kosho, and a user of Dusk Style, one of the styles she stuck to and honed in honor of Mali Suwan, her older sister and the former Dusk Kosho. Before joining the military, she was the sister of Mali whose life was taken by Kenzu Fuyuki himself. She is also known as one of the members of the Suwan Clanand lives in Nukamoire. She was one of the descendants of Aylis, thus making her soul more corrupted as her bloodline is cursed with being conceived from the abyssal mirrors. She has lived for a maximum of 1,400 years, making her the fourth most experienced, precise and talented Kosho out of the dozen who are considered one of the strongest eras.

In the Tatralian District Arc, Naree disguised as a noblewoman named Lady Malai of Nukamoire to support Ryuga Chisaka in finding out more information about the mysterious epidemics happening in Nukamoire and about the mysterious courtesan with the name of Kujaku Haga. She also is one of the main characters of Part 2: Abyssal Forests: Rise of the Abyssal Domain, and most of the parts of the series. She is also the master of Fani Bautista, one of the supporting harmonious deities who created the dimension called Snake Style, Divine to contrast Ryol's corrupted Serpent Style. After her death from Daiki, Fani became a harmonious deity to honour her changes in demeanor before her death and her care for him.

## Appearance

Naree possesses long black hair, with few tints of dark blue and purple. She is also known to have a strong, and athletic build as she has very bulky and muscular arms which often look intimidating to ordinary people. Her hair is usually kept in swirling braids, and she often wears it with complex earrings, alongside a rather complex designed necklace.

## Personality

Naree is known as a bold, and blunt woman who cares too little if her words hurt others especially those of a lower rank than her. She is also known to be rather cold to others, and can come off as cold-hearted and ruthless. She is often icy and dry in her speech, as she never uses nicknames or honorifics to properly address others. She often is overconfident, vain, and proud of herself as she boasts herself as one of the most powerful combatants in the Defenders of the Light but was quickly humbled by Akio Akimitsu, who she was on thin ice with. She also pushes others away very often, and has low tolerance for reserved and cowardly people such as when she was visibly annoyed by Ayumu's softspoken, reserved, and calm nature. Her coldness is actually seen when she is very aloof with others and doesn't seem to care about forming relationships. Because of this, she is seen as one of the most rude and cold Kosho but less than Rei Matsuoka as he is more cool-headed. However, her voice and tone often makes it seem like she is shouting at the person and is frustrated and angry at them.

Naree is very sharp-tongued, and belittles those who she thinks isn't fit enough for the work of Numen sorcery and aiding the Defenders of the Light, as she is one who cares a lot for the organization's credibility, and success. She also values diligence and hardwork above all else in a similar manner to Hotaruko Anchali, and despite hating Ryuga at first for being too bubbly, she appreciated his immense hardwork and dedication towards eradicating Daiki. Her desire to aid the Defenders of the Light leads her to commit rash, and quite dishonorable methods to achieve a more swift outcome as she is also very impatient. Naree believes swift and successful outcomes are much better results, and doesn't care that much of the impact of her methods. This proved to be very negative as she became somewhat distant from others. Naree also possesses a somewhat self-centred and dismissive attitude at first, due to her focus on her skills and the Kosho she hated the most was Astar Lucero who she barely acknowledged.

Naree is known to actually seem frustrated and annoyed often, as she struggles to express anything other than annoyance, frustration, or a desire to push others away due to her skeptical nature. She doesn't know how to properly express herself, and approaches people with a tough love approach. Her tough love approach often causes her to be extremely strict, and tough on the warriors of the Defenders of the Light to actually see them succeed, and grow. Her tough love approach is also to form a strong army, and her difficulty in expressing love. This is also due to the quite tough approach of her sister upon her, and her value of discipline and respect. She actually respects those who prove their worth, but often doesn't use honorifics towards others and is very dry in her speech except towards the Leader of the Defenders of the Light and Rei Matsuoka. She often doesn't consider others too many times, and can be considered too tough and icy to approach. She intimidates and gives off one of the coldest auras from the Defenders of the Light, causing even someone as bold as Hotaruko to be frightened.

Despite being an extremely cold and seemingly ruthless Kosho, Naree actually cares a lot for others and is very empathetic with this being the reason why she actually hates the creatures of the Warped Domain's Lords and is unable to justify wrongdoings against the innocent, despite the high bribes and amounts of money. She felt immense disdain and disgust towards Kagatsuma Fukuro for the mere reason of him being one of the corrupted dukes of the Rosendalle Empire and committing atrocities as the Greed Fiend's most prominent vessel. She also hates Rio Perez for the mass experimentations he did towards the humans. However, she eventually shows throughout the series that she is not heartless enough to not show a bit of pity towards those who try their best to find a successful outcome for noble intentions but still hates it if innocent people will be harmed or hurt in the process. This is evident by her being on a terrible relationship with Natsu Anchali, the Thunder Flight Kosho for his willingness to do anything to defeat the Warped Domain's Lords even with harming even few amounts of innocent people. Due to her tough love approach, she comes off as indifferent, too strict abrasive, and even cruel at times while also being unemotional, but begins to have a soft spot for those who gain her trust albeit only slightly less. She also values worth above all else, and will start to respect them more if they prove themselves to be more valuable and worthy to the Defenders of the Light. This was evident by her respecting Ryuga when finding out anout his participation in the fight against the Noella and the abandoned islands despite her hating and having an abrasive relationship with him at first.

Naree also shows a rather dedicated mindset, and a sense of pressure due to being known as one of the strongest Kosho in the series. She is shown to have been rather ambitious, and can come off as obsessive at times. Her dedication causes her to push others hard, and this even made her frustrated with Astar, as she often interrupts her sleep and tells her to wake up. Her immense pressure upon herself and dedication is due to her immense stress and restlessness, as she lacks enough joy and rest. Naree is known for hating those who rest while she is left restless continously. Her hatred even extends sometimes to Aya Aoki as she is more carefree and she often finds Rokihiko Aoki's idea of enjoying life as very foolish. However, throughout the series, it was revealed she was depressed and truly wondered the true meaning of life other than the restless work she was placed for countless years.

It turns out Naree's tough love, stress disorders, and abrasiveness stems out from how her gentle and forgiving demeanour was constantly burned through the years due to losing so much and due to the suffering she faced from the constant massacres. Naree once had a gentler and more hopeful side when Mali was still alive, but after Mali's death, she adopted negative habits and her abrasiveness due to her constant stress, restlessness and anger. She also lost lots of her friends, including her clan

Naree also possesses guilt towards herself and some remorse as she hates how abrasive and cruel she has become even without such a tragic or traumatic past. She envies Akio Akimitsu for having the saddest past and still managing to be as cheerful as he could be, but also struggles with bettering herself as she doesn't open up to others that much.

## Synopsis

Naree was one of the daughters of the Supreme Warlords of the Suwan Clan and lived onto the other half of the clan alongside her older brothers. As a daughter, she wasn't valued highly enough by her father due to their view on her as an accessory and the misogynistic practices on their clan.

## Quotes

*"Your views are too narrow-minded and unintelligent. I'll prove to you soon I'll be as strong as the Supreme Officials and men of this clan so don't even bother with making your pointless arguments hold me back." Naree Suwan to the Suwan Clan Head centuries ago in a flashback*

*"It would be wise to think twice before joining a military. This is an organization where no jokes are allowed and it's all restless missions and tasks. Based on your laidback and intelligent nature and control over your Numen Energy, you can be somehow suited for such a daunting job that requires immense skill and challenges. Your skill and hardwork are something I acknowledge but if you join, don't complain that you want to quit though." Naree's sharp tongued introduction towards Ryuga Chisaka*

*"That is an improper way to speak to the third strongest Kosho of the Defenders of the Light, one of the main militaries of the Rosendalle Empire. You do know you shouldn't speak as if I'm you're equal, and that you should show respect to the Kosho because you're a lower-ranked member, right? Know your place." Naree's boasting attitude towards Hanae Kemono before being humbled by Akio Akimitsu*

*"Stand up, you fool. A true Kosho, such as Akimitsu-dono shouldn't really give up no matter what circumstances they are in. No matter how lacking in skill you are in certain aspects, you still have a chance to help them if you have the right strategies." Naree towards herself in the battle against Daiki*

*"Remember, you lazy brat, the Kosho's missions are what we should prioritize the most even if we have to sacrifice our rest. Get to your missions now, and stop being so slothful! You should know that not only you are restless, us and Akimitsu-dono as well!" Naree Suwan angrily berating Astar Lucero*

*"Only people who are weak bow down to pressure and don't work towards improving themselves. Elegance and grace don't matter that much in combat if you don't have the right strategy, strength and skills you can attain by hardwork. Let me, are you actually that slothful being who can't be productive or are you willing to be more useful? I know for a fact that only strong and dedicated members are fit for the Defenders of the Light, and you seem severely incompetent and cowardly. Unless you prove to me that you are capable enough, you aren't worthy to become a warrior of the Defenders of the Light." Naree Suwan's stress towards Li Xiangyu*

## Trivia

Naree is actually inlove with Mitsuko Chisaka but believes that it's absurd behavior for her as a Kosho.

Naree's sword is actually whiplike like Aya Aoki's, and even existed from the oldest period of Cruor, the time where Shalash existed.

She embodies themes of independence, strength, ambition, hardwork, success, and why it's important for us to still strive despite our weaknesses and be more accepting of others, and how to be more respectful.

Her descendant, Ethan is told to be like her but his younger brother is like Mali and the opposite of Ethan.

Naree actually dislikes Astar Lucero the most out of the Kosho, possibly due to sleeping a lot and feels envious how Astar has the urge to sleep when they're this busy.
