Appearance

Similarly to other Au Ra women, Nanama's stature and body mass is disproportionate. As she is 4 feet, 5 inches (or 55.5 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 a foot, and is capable of only wrapping itself around one of 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.

Nanama is often seen wearing a neat, black coat that is long enough to pass her pelvic region. The coat 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.

History

Early Life/Pre-Calamity

For the majority of her life in Othard, 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 Othard, under the care and guidance of her adoptive Roegadyn father. By the time the catastrophic event made it's place in history, she was on her way to turning fourteen(14). As she grew more, and learned more about the world around her, she began to question herself--asking who or what she really was. Over time, Nanama slowly began to get the impression that she didn't exactly belong in Kugane. Considering the prominent races in the giant port town were Far Eastern Hyur, Roegadyn and Auri Raen(the sister clan of the Xaela), her darker scales would make her stick out. These ideas of hers were never vocally expressed, 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 raised and provided for her, who had fallen ill. The sickness being so bad, conventional medicines and treatments barely showed any effect to help ease his unfortunate state. As time went on over the course of many months, 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, and only found a few willing to work with her. The tasks in most of them consisted of standing behind a counter, to provide service to the town's inhabitants or foreigners, or simply cleaning up the shop. Opening up to people for the sake of looking after her Roegadyn caregiver was a challenge, as she found him the only person she could fully open up to. She rarely, if ever, socialized with any other individuals at or close to her age, as she felt her Xaela heritage would be seen as alien and make it difficult in forming a companionship with one or more kids. Despite doing everything in her power to make it a certainty her father gets better, his health began to continuously wane. He would now spend the rest of his time in bed, and when he does use the energy to move, it's to exercise and build up his strength, but these prove to be fruitless in making him better. While in bed, he would be read books by Nanama, and in turn he would share stories with her about his life and family, and have deep, meaningful exchanges with her. There was one aspect 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. It wasn't until Nanama came into his life, that he finally found someone who could stay by his side again, and who could give him a brand new purpose--being a father. Even though Nanama now has knowledge of her true origins, as well as some closure, her love for her father outshines and exceeds her want to meet her tribe. Where you come from doesn't define you, but what you make of yourself can.

After many moons, and many heartfelt talks, and many loving goodnights, the man who brought her up ended up deceased the next morning. However, his death wasn't reported until the next 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 her father's ashes kept. After turning seventeen(17), Nanama desired to honor her father, 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 reputation in her hometown. 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 in the name of her caretaker. Over time, she had solved other cases in Eorzea, and her reputation steadily grew.

In current times, Nanama is a woman of nineteen(19) summers and resides in a apartment with a office, within the Mist--the residential district centered in Lower La Noscea. She can be seen making rounds around Ul'dah for any signs of trouble and mischief, while keeping herself alert for any potential problems in need of an inspector. She currently tackles another case, and it is one with many trials that make her ponder herself as a person, including her future.

Personality

Combat

Affiliations

To'zi Dzoli: To'zi is a skittish, exhausted, and timid Xaela scholar, who Nanama met within the first few days of being in Ul'dah for the first time. They don't exactly have conversations with each other much, but when they do, they are pleasant. The inspector sees her as a good friend.

Ganon Shosen: A pacifistic male Raen who traveled to Eorzea as an envoy of Othard, and a member of Kusakari Industries--a company he joined after assisting in the Doman Liberation. 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 is admired by 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.

Vanitas Law: Vanitas is a male Hyur who resides in Ishgard, as well as a dragoon who is a general. Both Nanama and Vanitas met in Ul'dah's Quicksand, while she was looking into her case with Ganon. Thanks to him being a witness, 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 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 love, affection, and devotion for the first time, but she feels as though she is not ready to commit to a relationship yet--a result of her passion for investigations.

Marolyn Quinn: Marolyn is a Miqo'te Keeper, who is the adoptive daughter of Nikolas Quinn(aka Mr. Provolone), the man who gave the offer of looking for her to Nanama and Ganon. 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.

Lynette Sakumi: A malicious Xaela who is the caretaker of Marolyn, and seeks to take down her father, with Nanama's assistance. 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 gets used to it as time goes on and later considers Lyn as a friend.

Lederic Haragin: Lederic is a grim and straightforward Xaela of the Haragin tribe, who's a 'hunter for hire' working with Lynette, Marolyn, and the rest of their group to oppose Nikolas Quinn. 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 Maorlyn and exterminate Lynette. After the situation's is 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, as well as his somewhat disregard for her integrity and desire for truth and justice, she sees him as a competent leader. To her, he is a flawed individual plagued by demons and is 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 hopes to help him more, once their current business is resolved.

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 of 89 cm(DD). The black 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 gets very sensitive, if either her horns or tail are being touched; more so, if caressed.

-Even though Nanama is mostly heterosexual, she finds the thought of two partners of the opposing orientation being intimate with one another to be "embarrassingly cute". Especially, if they are both men. It is vague whether or not she may be into other women, albeit a small amount.

-When confronted with a friendly Lalafell, she subconsciously gets the idea of cuddling them.

-Even though Nanama primarily wears the color blue on occasions, her favorite color is pink. She uses blue to go with her treasured hat, and thinks pink would make her look too feminine, thus making her act vulnerable around others.

References

-Both the way Nanama acts and the way she dresses is 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.
