Naminé: Difference between revisions

Due to the unusual nature of her birth, Naminé was born without memories. As a result, she had no basis of free will, and simply followed the orders of whoever was close to her, effectively making her very submissive, quiet, and fragile in personality. However, as revealed in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Nobodies like her could grow new hearts, which is why she is able to express true emotions.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Xemnas''': "A heart is never lost for good. There may have been variances in our dispositions, but a number of us unquestionably showed signs of a burgeoning replacement. Once born, the heart can also be nurtured. Our experiments creating Heartless were attempts to control the mind, and convince it to renounce its sense of self. But understand, one can banish the heart from the body, but the body will try to replace it the first chance it gets, for as many times as it takes. And so I knew, even after we were divided into Heartless and Nobodies, it was just a temporary separation."</ref> During her time in Castle Oblivion, Naminé begins exhibiting the capacity for emotions. In fact, Naminé later reveals that she agreed to use her powers to draw Sora to Castle Oblivion and manipulated his memories was due to a sense of loneliness she felt.  

Upon realizing her misdeeds, Naminé became guilt-ridden and eventually rebelled against her captors in order to help Sora and his friends. She displays genuine remorse for she had done to Sora and co., and willingly put herself in harm's way when Larxene threatened to kill Sora. Her determination and desire to take responsibility for her actions also led her to defy Marluxia's order to destroy Sora's heart, despite of being threatened by the former. When Naminé bids farewell to Sora when he enters the memory pod, she shed tears and expressed happiness of their promise to meet again one day. By the end of ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'', Naminé has proven herself to be a kind, compassionate, and driven individual. By ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Naminé has matured greatly, and now acts independently without hesitation. She demonstrates her willingness in assisting Roxas in spite of DiZ's orders, and rescues Kairi when she is captured by Organization XIII.
