(This part of the section would work better in a "Nature" section. Since we don't have one of those, and it isn't coherent for the story section, I'm moving it here.)

'''Naminé''' is the [[Nobody]] of [[Kairi]], and wields the power to manipulate the memories of [[Sora]] and those close to him. Her first appearance is in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''. She also plays a minor role in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. The first part of her name, ''nami'' means "ocean wave" in Japanese, similar to Kairi's name, which is derived from the word for "sea".

Naminé was born when Sora stabbed himself with [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s artificial [[Keyblade of People's Hearts|Keyblade]] in order to return Kairi's heart to her body. This made Naminé a very odd Nobody, born from Kairi's heart and Sora's body and soul. Kairi's own body never became a Nobody because her heart lacked darkness (since she was one of the [[Princesses of Heart]]), so her body and soul were never able to leave the [[Realm of Light]] and thus made it seem like Kairi was in a comatose state until she regained her heart. However, this means that Naminé was also born without Kairi's memories, only furthering her status as an unusual entity. Yet she and Kairi are incomplete without each other, similar to Sora and Roxas. Because of the fact that Naminé is formed from Sora's body, she has the power to manipulate his memories as well as the memories of those who are connected to him, prompting several others, even herself, to call her a "witch". [[Ansem the Wise]] stated in [[Ansem Reports#Secret Ansem's Report 9|his ninth Secret Ansem Report]] that Naminé is a highly unusual Nobody, due to possessing neither the body nor the memories that a Nobody is usually made from.

After Sora stabbed himself with Ansem's fake Keyblade, Naminé came into being at [[Castle Oblivion]], where she was found by [[Organization XIII]].

Naminé, having become a captive of the Organization, resides in the upper floors of Castle Oblivion. When Sora is led into the castle, Naminé is forced by [[Marluxia]] and his partner [[Larxene]] to manipulate Sora's memories, slowly causing Sora and his companions to forget many of their friends. At the same time, he is led to believe that Naminé herself is a very important friend that he had forgotten, though in truth they had never met before. Sora undergoes this manipulation so that Marluxia can have Sora become a puppet under Naminé's control, giving Marluxia the ability to overthrow [[Xemnas|the Superior]].

Even Kairi is soon forgotten, being replaced by Naminé, and the promise made between Sora and Kairi and her lucky charm take on new forms to reflect the replacement. Being motivated by these false memories, Sora continues to ascend Castle Oblivion when he realizes that she is being held against her will by the [[Organization]]. In the case of Sora's memories of Kairi, Kairi had someone who cared very deeply for her while Naminé was all alone in the world, and this motivated her to replace Kairi with herself in Sora's heart.

During this time period, Naminé has been freed thanks to the actions of Sora, Donald, and Goofy and is trying to restore their memories while they sleep in pods at Twilight Town's Old Mansion with the help of [[Riku]] and DiZ. However, the process is taking longer than expected due to some of his "leaked memories" gaining sentience through one of [[Xemnas]]'s experiments. The individual created from these memories is later named [[Xion]], a name from "No. i" with the addition of an "X".

Naminé is the one who reveals to DiZ that Xion's existence may halt Sora's awakening, and she is the one who tells Xion of her nature as a replica after her interaction with Riku on [[Destiny Islands]].
