Naminé modifica

Naminé (ナミネ?, Namine) è un personaggio dei videogiochi Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories e Kingdom Hearts II. Il nome di Naminé è derivato da Nami, una parola giapponese che significa onda dell'oceano, che probabilmente si riferisce al nome di Kairi, che, scritto in un certo modo in kanji, significa mare.

Una ragazza misteriosa, Naminé A mysterious young girl, Naminé has the ability to change memories by rearranging them and creating new links between them. Her ability derives from her unique birth. Because of her unusual powers, both DiZ, agents of the Organization and herself refer to Naminé as a witch. She seems to enjoy drawing, which is apparently how she manipulates memories.

She was forced by Marluxia to rearrange Sora's memories after he loses them upon entering Castle Oblivion. Being passive and timid, she takes the abuse Marluxia and Larxene heap upon her. After meeting Sora, Naminé appears to become less timid and afraid, seeming more willing to act upon what she believes is right.

Naminé is voiced by Brittany Snow in the English version of Kingdom Hearts II and Iku Nakahara in the Japanese version.

Biography modifica

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories modifica

When Sora enters the fifth floor of Castle Oblivion, he mentions that besides Riku and Kairi, there was another child (Naminé) who used to play with them until she disappeared one day. Despite the fact Sora "remembers" Naminé as a close friend from Destiny Islands, she tells Sora that, before Castle Oblivion, they had never met. She also mentions that she is Kairi's shadow, which is why even when she replaces Kairi with herself in Sora's memory, Sora will still be able to recall Kairi.

As she hears about Kairi, Naminé's loneliness is amplified by sparks of jealousy that Kairi has someone who cares so deeply for her. Naminé began to not only place herself in Sora's memories, but removed Kairi from them altogether. She also performed the same process on the Riku Replica at Vexen's request. Naminé almost completes her task of replacing Kairi with herself until Axel manipulates her into betraying Marluxia. Naminé manages to save Sora from forgetting about Kairi and reveals herself to him at last.

While Sora vaguely recalls the most important person to him, he cannot identify her (Kairi) though he now knows she is not Naminé. Naminé, wishing to right her wrongs and happy at least that Sora still wishes to protect her, promises to restore his memories once he defeats Marluxia, who is waiting for Sora on the 13th floor of Castle Oblivion.

Once Marluxia is defeated, Naminé has Sora, Donald, and Goofy step into devices that will rearrange the chains of their memories, but break the ones that she created. As a result, Sora's memories of Naminé will be erased as he begins to recall Kairi and the rest of his friends. However, Sora promises that in his heart, Naminé will still be there and he will find her again.

Since then, Naminé has been carefully caring for Sora and his friends and ensuring their true memories are restored. She also helps save Riku in Reverse/Rebirth from Zexion by taking on Kairi's appearance to convince Riku not to refuse the darkness within his heart while drowning in light. When they meet in person, she offers to lock away the darkness of his heart so that it can never hurt him again, but he refuses the offer, opting to battle the darkness within him rather than run from it. Naminé then suggests that Riku made the correct decision, and confirms his suspicion that she was the one guiding him.

Kingdom Hearts II modifica

Naminé and Roxas appear to be of a similar nature, not quite supposed to exist, yet still existing because of someone else. While Roxas is the Nobody of Sora, she is actually a "special Nobody" born from Kairi's heart when it left Sora's body. As Kairi had no darkness in her heart, her heart hid within Sora's body instead of becoming a Heartless when Destiny Islands was consumed by Darkness. When Sora impaled himself with the Dark Keyblade (in KH1) his body and soul were used to create not only Roxas, but Naminé as well. As a result of this, she had none of Kairi's memories. Naminé's special birth in conjunction with the fact that Kairi's heart had been in direct contact with Sora's is why, DiZ states, that Naminé's special powers could only affect the memories of Sora and those whose hearts are connected to his, which was why she was used by the Organization. DiZ had her protect Sora in his deep sleep while restoring Sora's memories, which affected Roxas.

Despite DiZ's orders, Naminé visits Roxas in Twilight Town. She appears to him several times, often before he is attacked by Nobodies, acting somewhat as a guide to him. It is Naminé who tells Roxas of his true nature as a Nobody. When he is told that he will disappear, Naminé quickly assures him that "he'll be whole". As DiZ takes her away, she tells him that they will meet again, even if they do not recognize each other.

She is not seen again until near the end of the game. She frees Kairi and Pluto from imprisonment and they attempt to escape from the Organization's stronghold. They encounter Saïx, but, fortunately, are saved by Riku (in the guise of Xehanort's Heartless).

Naminé then gives up her own existence as an independent entity and fuses with Kairi to complete her, just as Roxas fuses with Sora. However, it is said in her and Roxas's conversation that they will not fade, but rather be whole and live on through Sora and Kairi, thus proving that not all Nobodies are destined to fade into darkness. This is further signified in the ending, as we see Roxas and Naminé one more time, smiling through their counterparts at each other when they return to the Islands complete, existing both as Sora and Kairi, but also as their own separate entities.
