'''Naminé''' is the [[Nobody]] of [[Kairi]]. She first appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and plays a minor role in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Naminé was born when [[Sora]] stabbed himself with [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s artificial [[Keyblade of heart|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. Due to 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 be referred to as 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.

The first part of her name, "{{nihongo|nami|波}}" means "ocean wave" in Japanese, similar to Kairi's name, which is derived from the word for "{{nihongo|"sea"|海|Kai}}". Her name can also be translated to "sound of the wave" in Japanese, since the character "{{nihongo|音|oto}}" can be pronounced as "ne". Alternatively, her name can mean "born from the wave", because of the French "né" at the end of her name ("né" is the past participle of the verb "[[Wiktionary:naître|naître]]", which means "to be born") as a reference to her birth from Kairi and Sora, as a wave can come from air and sea. However, this may have just been added in the English releases to ensure that her name was pronounced the same way it was intended in the Japanese original.

[[File:Marluxia's Graceful Blade 02 KHRECOM.png|thumb|left|Marluxia holding Naminé captive.]]

A captive of the Organization, Naminé resides in the upper floors of Castle Oblivion. When Sora comes into the castle, Naminé is forced by [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]] to manipulate Sora's memories, slowly causing Sora and his companions to forget many ~~important~~ friends and events. At the same time, Sora believes that Naminé herself is a very important friend that he has forgotten, though they never met before. Marluxia forces Sora to undergo this manipulation so that Sora becomes a puppet under Naminé's control, allowing Marluxia to overthrow ~~the Superior,~~ [[Xemnas]].

When Sora comes into the castle, Naminé is forced by [[Marluxia]] and [[Larxene]] to manipulate Sora's memories, slowly causing Sora and his companions to forget many friends and events prior to their arrival. At the same time, Sora believes that Naminé herself is a very important friend that he has forgotten, though they never met before. Marluxia forces Sora to undergo this manipulation so that Sora becomes a puppet under Naminé's control, allowing Marluxia to overthrow [[Xemnas]].

Naminé replaces Kairi with herself in Sora's memories, and the promise made between Sora and Kairi and her lucky charm now take on new forms to reflect the replacement. Motivated by these false memories, Sora continues to ascend Castle Oblivion where he realizes that Naminé is being held against her will by Organization XIII. Since the Kairi in Sora's memories had someone who cared very deeply for her, while Naminé was all alone in the world, this motivates her to replace Kairi with herself in Sora's heart.

Meanwhile, Naminé is also forced to implant false memories into the [[Riku Replica]], so that he thinks he is the real [[Riku]]. However, like Sora, he believes that Naminé is his long lost friend, and that he made the same promise to Naminé that Sora made to Kairi. Replica Riku even has an identical lucky charm (though this one is only a transformed card). Naminé's conscience eventually helps her overcome her loneliness and fears, and she reveals herself to Sora after being released by [[Axel]]. She appears to Sora in the memory version of [[Destiny Islands]] as he is conversing with the memory version of herself. She tells him that she had never been in his heart, despite what his memories show him, and to look for a faint glimmer of light in the deepest regions of his heart, for that light is the person truly special to him.

Naminé, with the help of [[Riku]] and DiZ, tries to restore ~~the memories of~~ Sora, Donald and Goofy while they sleep in pods at Twilight Town's Old Mansion. However, the process is taking longer than expected due to some of Sora's "leaked memories" gaining sentience through one of [[Xemnas]]'s experiments. The individual created from these memories is later named [[Xion]], an anagram of "No. i" with an added "X".

Line 75:

Naminé is working with DiZ and Riku (who has taken on the appearance of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] in order to use the power of darkness) to restore Sora's memories. Because Sora is incomplete, Naminé is having difficulty chaining his memories back together. To help with this process, his Nobody, [[Roxas]], an ex-member of Organization XIII, is retrieved by Riku and placed into a [[Simulated Twilight Town|digital Twilight Town]], where he lives until the time comes for him to join with Sora.

Naminé desires to see Roxas, having developed a connection with him, as his situation is quite similar to her own in Castle Oblivion, and she enters the digital Twilight Town herself. There, she meets him and acts as a guide for him when he is attacked by Nobodies. After Roxas's [[Dive to the Heart]], Naminé meets with him again, saving him from the darkness that bursts forth from the [[Twilight Thorn]]. She plans to reveal the truth of who he really is, but is stopped by Riku, ~~who says~~ that it~~'s best for~~ Roxas not to know. Even so, their encounter puts Roxas into contact with Kairi the next day, when Kairi manages to remember Sora's name.

Line 126:

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."</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 manipulate his memories was due to a sense of loneliness she felt from being isolated from others for so long.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Naminé''': "I was alone for so long. I couldn't bear it anymore... So I beckoned your heart to lead you here. And I'm so glad you found me."</ref>

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 what she has done to Sora and co., and willingly puts herself in harm's way to protect Sora from Larxene. 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.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Naminé''': "No. Sora forgave me even though I deceived him. I could never break his heart! I don't care what you do to me. I won't hurt Sora!"</ref> When Naminé bids farewell to Sora when he enters the memory pod, she sheds tears and expresses 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.

 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."</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 manipulate his memories was due to a sense of loneliness she felt from being isolated from others for so long.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Naminé''': "I was alone for so long. I couldn't bear it anymore... So I beckoned your heart to lead you here. And I'm so glad you found me."</ref>

She displays genuine remorse for what she has done to Sora and co., and willingly puts herself in harm's way to protect Sora from Larxene. 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.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Naminé''': "No. Sora forgave me even though I deceived him. I could never break his heart! I don't care what you do to me.
