==Appearance==
 
[[File:Nanama Kha 11 27 2019 05 44 09.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Nanama's original armor and hairstyle]]
 
Similarly to other Au Ra women, Nanama's stature and body mass is disproportionate. As she is 4 foot, 5 inches, she is much shorter compared to the height of most short female Au Ra, being 4 feet, 7 inches. Her long tail comes close to touching the ground by only two feet, and is capable of wrapping itself around the waists. Thanks to the hat she would don, as well as her attire, her skin stays a regular flesh tone, despite having made some of her travels on foot and under the sun's rays. Her eyes, including her hair, are blue, which is often kept to be in a short and clean fashion. She sometimes lets her hair grow more, but prefers to have it tied in some fashion.
 
 
 
Nanama is often seen wearing a black jacket that is long enough to pass her pelvic region. The jacket appears to share the resemblance of the company tabard, which are regularly worn by the OIC personnel affiliated with each of Eorzea's main city-states--Ul'dah, Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa. She can be seen wearing pairs of both black slacks and gaiters also, along with it. The accessory most prominent on Nanama's person, is the void blue flat cap she always wears. No matter the type of situation she is involved in, Nanama is always wearing it on her head. Occasionally, she will remove it to fix the top of her hair, should she feel it become untidy, but rarely does the headwear not have a presence atop her head. Throughout her investigations, she tends to wear other articles of clothing that are more suitable for fieldwork and/or instances for potential combat, and some would be accompanied by the cap.
 
 
 
===Post-Provolone===
 
[[File:Nanama Kha 11 27 2019 07 06 09.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Nanama sometime after the Provolone case. Her hair is longer and her jacket is worn for detective work]]
 
Nanama's appearance has significantly changed. Her blue hair now tends to be partially dyed a platinum blonde color at her bangs and at the end of her lexen-tail, which has grown past her shoulders and reaching the small of her back. She now chooses to keep her hair longer, due to being more confident she could maintain it well. Her physique is alot more built and toned from her past experiences and her own rigorous training. Nanama's body now has scars, and they are varied. She has three scars from gun wounds -- two on her abdomen with one being self inflicted, and the other on her right leg's front. Her body has a few other scars from multiple spiked impalements. One time, she could have had another scar that was large, on her back from a fireball, but she was healed in a way that prevented any scar tissue from being present.
 
She no longer dons her treasured blue cap that was always worn, opting to keep it as a memento. Nanama doesn't think she needs it worn anymore. She now regularly wears more armor when out in public, from her ink blue Shire gear accompanied by her equally colored dreadwyrm champeau, to her snow white jacket with the Scion Traveler's gloves and boots. When she's out and about with not much to do, she wears the white Scion Adventurer's jacket, combined with the Manderville bottoms and black buckled shoes. She often carries around her mortar on her person when in this outfit, as it is small enough to easily conceal(and not ruin her fashion sense).
 
Later, she stops dyeing her hair and just leaves it as normal, while having it flowing freely and not tied.
 
 
 
===Post-Journey===
 
[[File:Nanama Kha 11 21 2019 14 03 40.jpg|thumb|175px|right|Nanama's appearance near the end of and after her soul-search]]
 
After her month long soul-search across Hyaedlyn and the First, Nanama changes her appearance once more. Her hair becomes much shorter, and swept back. When travelling, she puts on a green and dark brown iridescent acton with black gloves, and she wears long leggings in her Dhamelsjun thighboots. Besides this look, she will wear shadow blue coveralls with black boots and gloves, along with a hard leather choker around her neck. This attire is used more for her goldsmithing, as well as her aid in the Ishgard Restoration project. Her casual attire is a dark blue coat with Ishgardian longboots, and she now tends to wear her old cap as a accessory. Eventually, she turns to engineering as a new pursuit, her blue coat is turned red and she switches out the cap for a red beret. Nanama tends to also wear a red rebel coat
 
 
 
==History==
 
 
 
===Early Life/Pre-Calamity===
 
For the majority of her life in the East, Nanama had lived her childhood within the port town Kugane, that is on the island chain of Hingashi-- a Far Eastern nation with a strict isolationist policy, under the Shogunate. Being a Xaela, it is apparent that she was originally from a tribe that is, or had, resided at the Azim Steppe, along with the other tribes. Rumor has it, that Nanama managed to wander away from her respective tribe, as a baby, and thus was picked up by a resident of Kugane and nurtured. A male Roegadyn brought the defenseless, lost Xaela over to the islands and away from the dangers of Doma's wilds, raising her like his very own daughter.
 
 
 
===Post-Calamity===
 
After the start of the Calamity in the West in Eorzea, Nanama was still in Hingashi, under the care and guidance of her adoptive Roegadyn father, Abarklin. By the time the catastrophic event made it's place in Eorzean history, she was on her way to turning ten(10). As she grew more, and slowly learned more about Hingan customs, she began to question herself. Over time, Nanama had the impression that she didn't exactly belong in Kugane. This was never vocally expressed by Nanama herself, but her surrogate father ensured her, home is what people make of it and she has a place in it, as much as anyone else.
 
It was after turning into a girl of sixteen(16) summers, Nanama finds herself nursing the man, who had fallen ill. The sickness being so severe, conventional medicines and treatments barely showed any effect to help ease his state. As time went on without a cure, Nanama needed to take the initiative. With the concern for money, she looked into many jobs that could be available for someone of her age. The tasks she took mostly consisted of her providing services to the town's inhabitants or foreigners, or simply cleaning up a shop. Opening up to people for the sake of looking after her caregiver was a challenge, as she found him to be the only person she could fully open up to. She rarely, if ever, socialized with any other people her age, because she had a solitary lifestyle and stuck by Abarklin's side all the time. Despite doing everything in her power to make it certain Abarklin gets better, his health began to continuously wane. He would now spend the rest of his time resting either on a couch or in bed, and when he does use the energy to move it's to try getting his strength, but his efforts would be fruitless. While in bed, he would be read books by Nanama, and in turn he would share stories with her about his life and family. There was one part of his stories that trigger a spark of interest in her; his own father was once a detective, and he had a strong admiration for the man, as well as his occupation.
 
During one of their talks after a long day, her father gives her the truth of her origins. He states that she did, in fact, originate from a Xaela tribe, known as the Kha. The Kha are the tribe of Xaela, who live on the fringes of the Xaela lands, actively seeking contact with people not of Auri culture. They introduce the many aspects of the other cultures they discover into their own, and are more open-minded about the outside world, unlike most of the others. The tales of a missing child of the Kha, had been passed around for sometime, thus giving her surrogate the inkling feeling she is from said tribe. Although he considers the possibility of Nanama being one of them, he couldn't bring himself to return her to her rightful parents, should they still be alive. For years, he had been overcome with severe loneliness. Unlike Nanama, he did manage to accumulate a variety of friends in his past, but soon the relations slowly drifted apart, leaving him to be on his own. Once Nanama came into his life, he finally found someone who could stay by his side again, and who could give him a brand new purpose, which is being a father. Even though Nanama now has knowledge of her true origins, as well as some closure, her love for her father outshined and exceeded her want to meet her tribe.
 
After many moons, heartfelt talks, and loving goodnights, the man who brought her up ended up deceased the next morning. However, his death wasn't reported until the following day, as Nanama desired to be alone with his body and mourn as much as she wanted. Sooner or later, she was now on her own, and had Abarklin's ashes kept. After turning seventeen(17), Nanama desired to honor Abarklin, by donning his dad's detective cap and actively going out to become a investigator. Her very first case started within Kugane, and during it, she had trouble being taken seriously. Her childlike appearance did not help her to convince people of her serious intent, but soon she succeeded, rightfully earning her a metaphorical pat on the back from the Sekiseigumi. Later on, after Doma was liberated by the Resistance and the Warrior of Light, Nanama ventures away from home and travels overseas to the West, to see if she can use her inquisitiveness for the sole purpose of bringing justice. Over time, she had solved other cases in Eorzea, and her reputation slowly grew.
 
 
 
===Bandits & Beetles (The Provolone Case) - (12/17/18)===
 
During the Starlight Celebration, Nanama had arrived to Ul'dah. After a couple of days sticking around the city-state, she overheard three people discussing a missing person. One of them, Nikolas Quinn, happened to be the adoptive father of the person of interest. He said his daughter, Marolyn, had been taken away by her violent caretaker and is most likely in danger. Nanama volunteered to conduct a search for the girl, alongside a Raen named Ganon Shosen, who temporarily became partners with Nanama.
 
After not getting anywhere with inquires, Nanama got approached by a general of Ishgard named Vanitas Law, who tended to stick around Ul'dah near or at the Quicksand. Nanama told him the case she's on and the Dragoon offers to help by being her eyes. She accepted the help, and not long after, Vanitas managed to locate Marolyn Quinn, including her caretaker, in the streets of Ul'dah. It turned out Marolyn and her caretaker Lyn, are a Keeper and Xaela, and they are actually the victims. Nanama soon got introduced to a 'hunter for hire' named Lederic Haragin, who was actually a member of the 'Eorzean Bureau of Intervention'. Nanama is told by the group that what Nikolas said was a ruse, and he's not only a cheese entrepreneur, but also secretly a leader of a giant slave trade that has spanned across Eorzea for many years. Nanama offered her help to take down Nikolas (AKA Mr. Provolone). She got acquainted with Lederic, Marolyn, and Lyn, as well as Precis Transvaal (who is now named Perceval Greystone and becomes Nanama's future lover) and Mikha Namaliyo (who leaves the group later on and is viewed as a sister by Nanama).
 
The group's plan to take down Nikolas' slave operation went on for several months, with both successes and blunders. Nanama learned more about herself during the case, both good and bad. The Provolone case became Nanama's first real taste of reality and made her realize that some things, no matter how cruel, must be done for the greater good. During the long road to stop Nikolas and the other slavers, she was traumatized, somber, treated with apathy for any mistakes, and was jaded. The experience had nearly costed her her life, as well as her humanity. It costed the life of one of Lederic's associates from the bureau, and nearly Lederic himself.
 
 
 
===Defeated a Griffin in Coerthas - (2/26/19)===
 
In a attempt to try growing as a person physically, emotionally and mentally, Nanama goes off to Coerthas' western highlands for a few days. She bears the harsh winter conditions and stumbles upon a griffin having found it's way from the Sea of Clouds. The beast is immediately hostile towards her and she simply escaping it's onslaught proved to be challenging and difficult, so she had to fight it. Nanama barely manages to survive putting the griffin down with her pistol(or so she thinks).
 
 
 
===Nanama Begins Katana Training- (5/2/19)===
 
 
 
===Sincerely, Your Shadow (Father Arc) - (7/16/19)===
 
Eventually, it is revealed that Nanama's biological father, Oktai Kha, had shadowed her during her time spent in Eorzea. He had anonymously mailed her money, kept tabs on almost every person she had connections with, and has saved her life by being active behind the scenes. For example, the griffin Nanama had thought she defeated on her own, was truthfully dealt with mostly by Oktai from the shadows, with his ninjitsu and weaponry. Also, she was saved from dying from gun wounds by Mangle Gorgon, because Oktai tipped civilians of her predicament. The situation further escalated when he breaks into Nanama's office to steal Abarklin's ashes.
 
 
 
After going through most of the trials set up by Oktai, Nanama got back Abarklin's ashes with the help of Perceval and Tae. However, Perceval was instructed to meet Oktai in Coerthas' western highlands, alone. Once the two meet, Oktai gives Perceval a explanation to the point of the trials, including what transpired when Nanama went missing as a baby. Back then, while Oktai was away from his tribe to travel around Othard, Nanama's mother(Chinua Kha) fell asleep during a ride back to the tribe through Doma, unaware of Nanama accidentally falling off and lost, before later being stumbled on by Abarklin. Once Oktai returned to the tribe and knew of his daughter's absence, he became depressed and angry. These feelings were more against himself, as he blamed himself for not being there with his family. His mate, both ashamed and taking Oktai's misery to be directed at her for losing their child, takes her own life the next day. This causes him to leave the Kha soon after. Decades pass, and Oktai finds Nanama, after hearing word of a Xaela detective around Gridania. He then dedicated his time, resources and skills to ensure her safety.
 
After Perceval hears Oktai out, he is challenged by the Kha to fight, with the condition that if Perceval wins, he gets to stay with Nanama. Oktai also promises that if he himself loses, he'll turn himself in to the Brass Blades for theft and breaking into Nanama's office. The two battled atop The Watcher, a large cliff overlooking the highlands. The fight was bloody and exhausting, lasting for over half a hour. Eventually, Perceval is made victorious, with both him and Oktai barely conscious. Oktai keeps his promise and heads back to Ul'dah to be taken into custody.
 
 
 
===Bandits & Beetles (Post-Provolone) - (7/16/19)===
 
Nanama and her group were able to track down Nikolas Quinn(AKA Provolone and father of Marolyn Quinn) in Coerthas' central highlands, after several months of dismantling his giant slave operation across the many regions of Eorzea. Once Nikolas was subdued and apprehended by the Ishgardians, most of the group went their seperate ways. For example, Lederic was in need of recovery, but mysteriously vanished, and Marolyn goes away to the steppe. Nanama spreads Abarklin's ashes in Kugane, with one final goodbye.
 
 
 
A new chapter begins.
 
 
 
===Hope for the Future (Aya Arc) - (8/7/19-1/12/20)===
 
A mysterious woman had made her appearance in Ul'dah, lost, confused, and in distress. Not only is the stranger new to the "city made of gold", but her appearance raises questions from any able to get a closer look. The woman, having clear traits of the Au'ri Xaela, has less scales than anyone of the race normally has.
 
 
 
The girl's name is Aya, and her disorderly and tense behavior around people is due to her originating from the future. A time traveler. However, it is not yet certain if her home resides in the distant future of today, or in an alternate history. Another revelation is Aya is one of three offspring of Nanama Kha and Perceval Greystone (who is a Elezen), which explains her small number of scales. She did her best to hide the information around the younger version of her father, as well as other people Nanama is affiliated with, but an argument with him triggered an outburst, revealing her identity. Aya's reason for exisiting in the here and now, is the result of her being forced by one of her brothers into unknown Allagan Technology, to escape harm's way. The threat Aya faces in her time is currently unknown.
 
 
 
After Aya explores present-day Eorzea for some time, Nanama soon learns of Aya's true identity, which makes her elated and throws away any previous suspicions the Xaela had on the half-breed. A few plans are thought of to help Aya return to her time, with each more complex than the last. One is a 'time machine' being developed and tested with Allagan tech from scratch, while another involves looking to the goblins of Idyllshire and finding a answer in none other, than the primal Alexander.
 
 
 
It is decided that Aya would return to her time, with the method of using Alexander. As preparations are made, Aya in the meantime trains and grows closer to some of the people she once knew, including developing a interest in Jay (to Nanama and Perceval's dismay). Eventually, Aya gets confronted by Sami, who chooses to be anonymous. During the fight, Aya is aided by Perceval to drive her off, however Sami causes a cave in and escapes. After regaining their bearings, Aya and Perceval continue with their goal, with the Elezen telling her he will get her home alone if he has to.
 
 
 
Aya takes up training with the guidance of Rahlera Dortharl, a woman having been close with Nanama and was the young halfbreed's teacher in her own timeline. Aya was not able to fully comprehend using her Darkside to serve as her ally, at first. Out of grief for those she lost and the want to see her allies again after being trapped in history, Aya finally managed bring out her shadow, and her pain and sorrow had become a manifestation for all to bear witness to. Perhaps, she is now strong enough to combat the forces who were deadly enough to warrant the woman being unknowingly thrown back in time for her protection. She thanks her old instructor and continues on with her last task: going home.
 
 
 
===Nanama is Pregnant - (8/16/19)===
 
Sometime after Nanama's nameday, she and Perceval Greystone were informed by a family doctor of theirs, Aulex, that she had become pregnant with triplets.
 
 
 
===Nanama's Soul-Search - (10/6/19-11/14/19)===
 
 
 
===Demi-Bahamut Discovered - (11/7/19)===
 
 
 
===Nanama goes to the First - (11/21/19)===
 
Nanama finds out about the existence of another star different but similar to the Source called the First. She becomes curious after being informed by Rahlera Dortharl, a dark knight, about a sin eater attack, and the young Xaela set out to find a way to travel across worlds. She finds out there's a very small hole in the Aethernet created by the Warrior of Light, that could get anyone to the First. The method would require repetitive teleports to and from Mor Dhona, where the Crystal Tower resides in, and the chance of success is a very low probability. Eventually, Nanama succeeds and arrives in Lakeland, on Norvrandt. It takes days of being on the newly discovered star for her to return to the Source after attuning to the Crystarium's aetheryte.
 
 
 
===Nanama learns about Engineering - (12/12/2019)===
 
 
 
===A Cry for Help -  (12/20/19 - 12/25/19)===
 
During the Starlight Celebration, Nanama is contacted by an old friend in the Twin Adder about a tragedy that had occured. A death within the Lily Hills apartments had been reported earlier that day. To her surprise and misfortune, the victim was someone she had known about before, in a past case a few months earlier: Nao Heizu, a veteran adventurer who was missing once and later found, was now found dead inside his apartment. With the assistance of a doctor, Ruri Ashdale, she travels to the Black Shroud to investigate. During their time at the crime scene, the two were not able to see the body of Nao, but were left to their own devices, gathering evidence. A still filled tub of contaminated bathwater, liquor bottles in a messy bedroom, and a note in said room, sheds more light on what happened. Nao Heizu, wrought with depression and loneliness, took his own life by drowning. An autopsy of the body, and a testimony from Nao's best friend Ani, were needed to fully come to the supposed conclusion.
 
 
 
Nanama manages to get her hands on some investigation files, around the body's condition and the evidence found around the apartment. There was speculation from Rahlera, that Nao was murdered and there was a cover-up made by the Adder themselves, including the files having been tampered with. Nanama thought it was very unllikely, but didn't completely rule out the possibility. The discussion about the case ends with a plan to retrieve Nao's undiscovered linkpearl from his apartment, and get in contact with anyone else the man had associated himself with, for suspects of a potential murder case. Both the body and Ani, needed to be found.
 
 
 
Nanama found the linkpearl in Nao's place, but none of his contacts ended up being suspects. Sooner or later, Ani is found by Ruri, and she tells where she was and what she had done at the time of Nao's death. Just like her friend, she was also a monk who was training around Gyr Abania and Rhalgr's Reach. The last time she saw Nao, he wasn't in a healthy state of mind due to the sense of loneliness, as well as failed relationship months prior. Ani tried lifting his spirits for the holidays, but nothing was working. She left him to give him time to himself for a while, believing he'd be fine. After a couple of failed calls to him days later, she gets inside his locked apartment to discover Nao, dead in the bathtub, to her horror and heartbreak. The doctor and Seeker have a heart-to-heart, and Ani says she'd go speak to Nanama about everything.
 
The next day, Nanama and Ani meet up and discuss the case. The Miqo'te retells was shared with Ruri, and Nanama says she was able to take a look at Nao's corpse, which was under the attention of the Twin Adder. She confirmed that Nao did in fact take his own life, and no one was responsible for man's unfortunate demise. At the moment, the case was closed. Nanama gives Ruri her thanks with the investigation through mail. Meanwhile, Ani plans to put Nao to rest by having him buried, and finally comes to terms with the painful reality. She says to herself she will keep her best friend close to her heart and will focus on who he was in life, instead of what led to his death and the guilt of not being there for him more.She loved him, and he loved her. As long as Ani lives, so too will a small part of Nao.
 
 
 
===Nanama Births Triplets (Yiselle, Ardoux, and Halmric) - (2/9/20)===
 
 
 
===Currently...===
 
After birthing three of her children, Nanama puts her months of preparation to the test taking care of them, while trying to keep up with her training and engineering.
 
 
 
===Personality===
 
As a individual, Nanama Kha is an determined, inquisitive and kind-hearted young woman who tends to mostly become guarded with her emotions. Her passion to inquire came as a result of her adoptive Roegadyn father's shared history involving his own father, who in life was a detective in the Far East. After her caregiver's passing, Nanama took it upon herself to follow in the footsteps of his parent. This honorable action gives her a sense of purpose, a way to pay tribute, and the desire to aid others. When investigating, she tries putting on a serious demeanor. Due to instances in the past when her younger appearance didn't allow her to be taken seriously, she wears orderly attire and adopts a professional attitude to let others know she is devoted.
 
 
 
Even though Nanama is serious about her occupation as a private investigator/inspector, she is more than capable showing her warm side. She tends to go out of her own way to offer her generosity and kindness to individuals, be it handing them a sum of gil or a gift, or being a person willing to give wanted attention. Her good-natured behavior can be seen as an admiration to others, to her own embarrassment.
 
 
 
A fault she still struggles with, is not having enough strength to properly control or convey her true feelings to people who she grows some form of connection with. Due to her solitary life in Kugane and growing up with little to no interactions with those of or near her age, she has trouble emotionally opening up. People she associates with use this as a way to playfully tease, or flirt with her, which subjects Nanama to a vulnerable, flustered and distracted state. This issue had became more prominent during her current investigation to sabotage a slave operation around Eorzea, as her closeness with some allies reveal this embarrassed side. These new experiences of emotional attachment to people can hinder her from making good calls of judgement and potentially put her or others in danger. She is also highly vulnerable to self-doubt and self-punishment when she feels whatever misfortune or unfairness happens to someone else. This can lead to her falling into a state of depression for days, while lowering her self-esteem to dangerous levels.
 
 
 
Nanama tends to push herself to try to be the best she can be in order for the sake of clarity, however, it can negatively effect her mental health. She puts on a strong, no-nonsense attitude to show people she is capable in any given situation and to appear as someone worth being relied on. While it works with most people, it's a rare occurrence when someone can see through the mask she puts on. A mask that can chip and crack, revealing the self-loathing and depressed woman underneath.
 
 
 
==Combat==
 
As her primary method of attacking and defense, Nanama has always used the deceivingly small, yet strong, silver Makai Hand Mortar. Within the first year of her occupation as a inspector, and 3-4 months after arriving to Eorzea from Othard from the Far East, Nanama had picked up this weapon from a merchant in the Shroud during one of her past times in Gridania.
 
 
 
How a merchant managed to get a hold of this firearm, if it belonged to a previous owner, the owner's identity, and if they lost or intentionally got rid of it, are still a mystery up for debate. However, Nanama has used it with care throughtout her years, and hopes that maybe one day she could return the weapon to it's past owner, who was possibly a machinist.
 
 
 
Nanama doesn't make it a regular habit of ever using it, unless of course she feels that her or the safety of others are in danger. She never has truly used the Makai Hand Mortar to neutralize a living person, and one time during her current investigation, when she opted to take it out, she was unable to fire a shot--a idea that if she ever shot first and potentially killed the opponent, she, as a investigator, would be a murderer. Eventually, she swaps out the mortar in favor of her current weapon, Blue Steel, which is a much bigger and more power gun that she once found in Coerthas, for machinists.
 
 
 
Besides the firearms, she also has a variety of autoturrets at her disposal, handed over to her by the Machinists Guild in Ishgard. Plus, she had taken the liberty of learning hand-to-hand combat and now has skills in the martial arts. Despite not having anyone as a teacher, and thus self taught herself through reading, experimentation, and rigorous training, she had eventually built up skills that are almost on equal level to that of the regular monk. These skills prove useful, should the Makai Hand Mortar become a unavailable option. To keep herself in shape and her martial arts up to par, she tries exercising and training on occasions.
 
Nanama soon focuses her attention on wielding a katana, learning about arcanima in the Arcanist's Guild, and taking lessons from Perceval on using a bow and arrow. These give her more room to grow and become versatile. Later on, she gets her hands on a gunblade, and it may be her most preferred weapon of choice. She also has an Automaton Queen for assistance sometimes.

Nanama met Caroline in Limsa Lominsa, when the detective used to occupy that city- state more frequently in the past. A grimoire of Caroline's was stolen by thieves, but then escalated into a run-in with the Kobold beast tribe. After aiding Caroline, both her and Nanama were on good terms, even though the summoner's cynical outlook on Eorzea as a whole confused Nanama.
 
 
 
They rarely saw one another, but they still kept contact with each other for small talk, until the young summoner met her demise at the hands of Garlean forces.

Nanama met him during her first time in Ul'dah, when she volunteered to look into a investigation involving a runaway Miqo'te, Marolyn Quinn. They both accepted the job, and thus became partners. Over time, as her investigation progressed, she found herself to be in potential danger, and sought Ganon for help. For a while, she used his company's abode as a safehouse, until she eventually got her own office. Nanama feels to be close to Ganon, and admires his generosity. On the surface, she calls him 'friend' or 'partner', but underneath, she looks at him as a big brother, or even a father figure.

Both Nanama and Vanitas met in Ul'dah's ''Quicksand'', while she was looking into her case with Ganon. Thanks to him being a lookout, Marolyn was found and Nanama's case had progressed, and eventually, he had taken over Ganon's place as her partner during his absences. Over time, Vanitas had developed feelings for her, and soon asked to become his girlfriend. Wanting to experience having a relationship and fulfill her curiosity, she accepted. While being in a relationship with him, Nanama had grown to care more for him, regarding his past and his naive nature. She tended to become timid and vulnerable whenever Vanitas would try and display affection in public, or otherwise. However, his willingness to protect her, regardless of her combat capabilities, made her feel as though he was overprotective. After multiple threats towards allies during plans to stop a slave operation in Eorzea, they eventually fell apart. Nanama is thankful to Vanitas for having her experience moments of love, affection, and devotion for the first time, but she felt as though she was not ready to commit to a relationship yet--a result of her passion for investigations. The two hadn't talked to one another for few months, but got around to it. The two still remain on good terms as friends.

She was able to meet Nanama, by Vanitas noting the inspector of her whereabouts in the streets of Ul'dah. After a misunderstanding about the case, Nanama and Marolyn become allies. While working with Marolyn to oppose her father's business, Nanama doesn't feel as close to her as she does with the others within their group. They work together, however shared words between them are few and far between. Her stance on Marolyn is between a friend, and a acquaintance.

Nanama met her right after having located Marolyn in Ul'dah. Her barbed personality had made the inspector keep her distance somewhat, but soon she eventually got used to it. As time went, Nanama considered Lyn as a friend, however complications during the case for Nikolas Quinn harmed their acquaintanceship.

Nanama meets him after finding Marolyn, thanks to Vanitas, and meeting Lynette. Their introductions were tense, with Lederic demanding knowledge of Nanama's allegiance, thinking she was sent by Nikolas Quinn to find Marolyn and exterminate Lynette. After the situation's given an explanation to Nanama, she then joins his group. Nanama's feelings on Lederic are conflicted. Despite Lederic's serious, no-nonsense attitude towards everyone he associates with, as well as his somewhat disregard for her integrity, mental health and desire for truth and justice, she sees him as a competent leader. To her, he is a flawed individual plagued by demons and in need of help. She tries assuring  him that she, along with their allies, are his friends, but attempts of getting him to open up are met with dismissals. She hoped to help him more, once their current business is resolved, but has given up on the idea.

After becoming single again, and doing her best to solve problems of his multiple times, she becomes emotionally close with him, and soon enamoured by and for him. In the past, he is original name was Precis Transvaal, but experiences during the Provolone case and history with his ex-lover led him to choose a different one, in a attempt to leave the past behind and become a new person.

Nanama's first introduction to Sindorel happened, at the beginning of an investigation led by Lederic, that was connected to her current case. Nanama has'nt had many personal interactions with Sindorel, but the multiple occurrences when they work with each other in their group makes her see him as somewhat apathetic, but caring when he wants to be. To her, he's a friend and a invaluable ally.

She met M'leo while attempting to uncover the location of a important clue in Central Thanalan, relating to her current investigation. Not knowing who he was, nor his relation to Mikha, she showed distrust for him as he questioned her about her intentions; believing her to be associated with a group of thieves. Later on in their second meeting, the misunderstanding is cleared and they began working together under Lederic's lead. After a botched attempted rescue, Nanama never saw him again, and unaware of his whereabouts. Part of her mind hinged on M'leo being deceased, but mostly has had hope he is still alive.
 
 
 
Despite being aware of M'leo's history with Mikha, not much is known to her about him. She currently wishes to form a closer bond with him, whenever they see eachother.

She deems to have saved the Elezen in a previous life, and despite having no recollection of his past, believes it. Nanama met Beralda in the ''Quicksand'' when she tried defusing a intense argument between her and another patron.
 
 
 
Nanama is fond of Beralda, but still currently feels guilt over accidentally taking Precis' affection away from the warrior woman. They don't often see one ais nother, however, Nanama remains on good terms with her.

Nanama met Ardent when she was in trouble after a attempted rescue of Mikha, which ultimately failed and a misunderstanding. She trusts Precis on Ardent's good intentions and welcomes him as a ally. Due to the man's lumbering frame and her small figure, she can't help but feel like a child in his presence, including being reminded of her late adoptive father, who ironically was a Roegadyn too.
 
 
 
:<span style="color:#0645AD"><span style="font-size: medium">● </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;  text-align: -webkit-center"><span style="font-size:small">[[Serenity Gorgon|The Gorgon Family]]: A family that is renowned within the Garlean Empire in Garlemald. Although they are quite large, Nanama has consistently interacted with Drayconivous Malory Gorgon, a pure-bred Garlean, and his two daughters, Serenity and Mangle. Nanama's association with the Gorgon family began when she was socializing with another member of the Kha tribe, Jakha, during one of her earlier patrols around Ul'dah. It was Serenity who was introduced to the detective by Jakha, and thus started their chemistry. Nanama's opinion of the Garlean family is, in of itself, a mixed bag. While she does openly associate herself with them, as well as care about some of them, there have been events which make her question their intentions as well as their morality.
 
 
 
Nanama primarily affiliates herself with Serenity Gorgon--the half-bred Xaela daughter of Drayconivous, and their relationship is the backbone and pillar that could potentially make or break Nanama's standing with the Gorgons. She looks to Serenity for seeming to be the most reasonable and morally sound, as opposed to her half-sister Mangle. While there are moments where Serenity makes situations more difficult for Nanama and place wedges in her relationships with other characters due to her naive and rude nature, she continues to take her as a friend and attempts to rationalize her behavior. There's also the detail of Serenity having harbored romantic feelings for Nanama since they met. Something people slowly began to find out, the more they were around one another. While Nanama herself is aware of the feelings, and to some extent feel the same way, she tried to neither reject her them to not hurt her emotionally, or reciprocate them bevause of her relationship with Perceval. Eventually, she does tell her that her love for Perceval outweighs her love for her and that they should remain as friends. Serenity attempts to abide by Nanama's wishes, despite teasing and flirting for the sake of a reaction. Since her and her family's name is somewhat reviled to the public, Nanama has indeed felt pity and chose to be one of the few that the family could turn to for support, at her own expense.
 
 
 
Next, Nanama's relationship with Mangle Gorgon--Drayconivous' half-bred Miqo'te daughter--tends to be antagonistic and tense. While Nanama does acknowledge Mangle as Serenity's sister, her occupation as a detective keeps her from not letting the heinous acts she commit go unnoticed. To Nanama: Mangle displays sociopathic tendencies with a slight lack of remorse, is unpredictable, and a potential danger to herself, Serenity, and everyone around her. Her view on Mangle had came as a result of instances that either alarmed her, or had placed her and others in mortal danger. Examples include; making light of random individual' s deaths over trivial things, nearly killing Nanama with gunshots to prevent being apprehended by her for theft, and detonating a autoturret in Kugane, which almost killed her again, however, Perceval's presence and shielding of Nanama ensured her safety. Despite these incidents, Nanama still insist on giving Mangle chances to change her ways, but her patience for the Miqo'te wanes.

Nanama had met Moritoto in the ''Quicksand'' after she had finsished one of her many patrols in the city for trouble. Their relationship is more of allies cooperating to help bring justice, as well as friends. She admires Moritoto for his calm and relaxed attitude and his dedication to his occupation. Nanama tends to be vulnerable to the man's compliments and flirting, such as being referred to as 'doll', and does her best to not show embarrassment. She also sees the Lalafell as someone capable of helping relieve her mind of the stress and hardships faced as a detective, by handing occasional advice and support, to which she deeply appreciates.

He tends to stick around M'leo, who sees him as family and the boy regularly occupies Ul'dah. Even though she doesn't see him much, Nanama is comfortable around him personally and takes him seriously. She first met L'aera in the Quicksand, at the end of one of her past patrols.

Like Nanama, he too has a foster parent, and it gives them some form of companionship. The detective may not exactly know yet that Jay is quite infatuated with her, since her view of him is of a friend and she primarily sees Perceval instead. She does tend to be concerned for him, because of the feeling he doesn't have many people to turn to in his life. Nanama met Jay in Ul'dah, during the beginning of one of her patrols.

A high class of merchants was the family she was born into, but misfortunes led to her training and leaving for Eorzea. To Nanama, Tae is a dear friend whom she had wished had met as kids, to help fix her introverted and secluded lifestyle and have at least one person other than her foster parent to turn to. She's warm towards Tae, and acknowledges the Raen's deeper feelings for her, but failed to keep them on good terms.

He is the adoptive father of Marolyn Quinn. Nanama met the old man during her first week in Ul'dah, when she overheard him informing Ganon Shosen about his missing daughter. She offered her help to search for Marolyn and apprehend her caretaker Lynette, but eventually found out after meeting Lederic that Nikolas is in charge of a large slave operation spanning all across Eorzea, and the tale of Marolyn being violently taken away by Lyn was a lie.
 
 
 
Currently, Nanama's case is closed and Nikolas Quinn was apprehended. But, he ultimately died in prison.

As he dealt with his part in the slave operation that takes place across Eorzea, he was both sociopathic and masochistic. Javier was captured by Nanama's group in the Central Shroud, where he was taken in to be interrogated for information on the location of the encampments holding slaves.
 
 
 
Javier Bergeron met his demise at the hands of Lederic by getting his neck forcefully snapped, to Nanama's disgust, after questioning him was deemed a success. Instead of taking the law into their own hands, Nanama had wished Javier was put in jail and punished for his inhumane acts.

Nanama's first association with the group was when she was introduced to one of the higher-ups, Valacor, by Mikha. However, her standing with the pirates soured due to a misunderstanding that could have ultimately resulted in her death, as well as M'leo's. M'leo, a retired detective, intended to infiltrate the pirate's base for information relating to Mikha, whom he had ties with in the past. Despite the danger, Nanama went with him and they were both outnumbered, caught and interrogated. She deemed her bad judgement call and emotional attachment to Mikha akin to a sister, were partially to blame. Nanama's standing with the Syndicate got worse when her association with Precis was known, whom the pirates loathe, for problems that arised before he left them.
 
 
 
Currently, the group is no more.

'''Given Nicknames'''
 
 
 
''Nana, tiny lizard, seeker of truth, brioche à la cannelle'' (or ''cinnamon roll''), ''blue lady'', ''dick''[another term for a detective], ''doll'' and ''Blue''.
 
 
 
'''Secrets'''
 
 
 
-On very rare occasions, Nanama would think out loud and talk to herself, when confronted with a issue that warrants a amount of time dedicated to hard-thinking and problem solving. She is more prone to do it whenever alone, and not within the proximity of individuals whose presence she acknowledges.
 
 
 
-Despite her body looking to be very slim underneath her attire, Nanama's physique is toned and a little curvy. In reality, her breasts are rather big; a size cup of F. The black jacket and whisperfine coat she wears helps to avoid her receiving unwanted attention by making the chest appear more flat. She is vulnerable to being flustered, should one ask her about her real size...
 
 
 
-Nanama's horns and tail are sensitive to the touch. She'll get embarrassed if they're gently grabbed; more so, if caressed.
 
 
 
-Despite Nanama being mainly heterosexual, she finds the thought of two partners of the opposing orientation intimate with one another to be cute. Especially, if they are both men. It is vague whether or not she may be into other women.
 
 
 
-When meeting a friendly Lalafell, she sometimes has the thought of cuddling them.
 
 
 
-Even though Nanama primarily wears the color blue on many occasions, her favorite color is pink. She uses blue clothing to go with her treasured hat.
 
 
 
'''References'''
 
 
 
-The way Nanama originally dressed was a clear inspiration of Naoto Shirogane, who's one of the main characters from the JRPG series of video games, ''Persona''; most specifically ''Persona 4'' & ''Persona 4: Golden''.
