As the Nobody of Kairi, Naminé bears a resemblance to her, though, like, with Roxas and Sora, this resemblance is a bit more subdued than most.

Naminé shares Kairi's blue eyes and general body structure. Naminé has blond hair, which is slightly longer than Kairi's, that she drapes across her right shoulder, rosy cheeks, and pale, pink lips. She wears a white dress that ends at her thighs in an embroidered lace pattern and light blue sandals decorated with yellow flowers. She remains virtually unchanged from her appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' to ''Kingdom Hearts II''. She looks more mature and taller in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', which results in the dress reaching to about mid-thigh as opposed to just above her knee as it was in ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''. | ||
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. | 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}}".
