Naminé

Line 44:

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 friends and events prior to their arrival. At the same time, Sora believes that Naminé is a very important friend that he has forgotten as a result of her influence. 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 Kairi's [[Wayfinder|lucky charm]] now take on new form to reflect the replacement. Sora "remembers" a childhood memory in which he promised to protect Naminé during a meteor shower.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Sora''': "There's a special memory that goes with this. One night, when Naminé and I were little, there was this meteor shower. Naminé started crying. She said, 'What if a shooting star hits the islands?' So I said, 'If a shooting star comes this way, I'll hit it right back into outer space!' I was swinging this toy sword around the whole time. Naminé just smiled and said, 'Thanks.' And then she gave me this. [...] Yeah. So I promised her... From now on, I'll bring you good luck. I'll keep you safe. But then one day, Naminé left the islands...and I forgot about her all this time. I really let her down..."</ref> 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.

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.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]''''', '''Replica Riku''': "There was a meteor shower...this one night when she and I were little...

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 urges him to remember Kairi, whose existence is special to him.

==Personality==

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 becomes guilt-ridden and eventually rebels 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.

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.
