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.
But, after putting her detective work to rest and having a family of her own, Nanama is somewhat more vulgar, as well as being confident and snarky. She tends to be more open to affection in public from her lover, including some flirting. Instead of keeping principles and ideals dear, she now keeps the people close to her more dear. If she thinks the situation calls for it, Nanama won't hesitate in taking a life to ensure the safety of those dear to her.
Enemies/Disaffiliations
- ● Nikolas Quinn: Nikolas (also going by 'Mr. Provolone') is a entrepreneur and cheese connoisseur who is centered in Ul'dah, along with his right-hand Perrito. 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.
- ● Perrito Carrito: A dark-skinned Lalafell as Nikolas Quinn's assistant and a trafficker of the slaves in Thanalan. He was the second to last obstacle to ending Nikolas' slave trade, and met his demise at the hands of Lynette Sakumi.
- ● Javier Bergeron: Javier was a Duskwight Elezen who managed slaves within the Shroud, and was one of several accomplices to Nikolas Quinn. 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.
- ● Ebon Syndicate: A company of pirates that Mikha Namaliyo is a member of. 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.

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 wears the colors blue, red, and white on many occasions, her favorite color is pink.
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.
