(I have a lot on my plate but I keep up--and I want Naminé here because I adore the character and I haven't gotten to play her on an active site, which is what I hope this one becomes.)
Level: Intermediate, because I'm an experienced writer but still relatively new to the world of RPing specifically--particularly sites that use items and update characters like this one.

~Character Info~
Name: Naminé
Age: 15
World: Technically originated in Hollow Bastion but spent most of her time in Castle Oblivion and Twilight Town during the events of Kingdom Hearts
Gender: Female
Race: Nobody
Job: A witch with control over Sora's memories
Alignment: Neutral
Side: Twilight
Appearance:
Accessories: Sketchbook and crayons
Personality: Naminé comes off as very docile and harmless, but in truth she's a Nobody and has the callousness that comes with a lack of emotion. The thing that bothers her the most, heart or no heart, is being alone--and her dearest wish is to reunite with Kairi.
Weapon: Memories, if control over them can be called a weapon
Abilities: Naminé can not only alter memories to the point that the individual can't tell the difference between the reality and the falsification, but she can also alter objects and create whole memory-based worlds within the confines of Castle Oblivion. Otherwise, she is relatively powerless.
Items: None
Summons: None
History: (Copied from my Naminé account at A Moment Like This (hyperlink), please let me know if I need to write a new one.)
Naminé is Kairi’s Nobody, created in the only way a Princess of Heart’s Nobody could be--by leaving Sora’s body instead of Kairi’s. Kairi’s heart is too pure to produce a Nobody without that technicality. Once born at the same time as Sora’s Nobody, Roxas, she fell into the Organization’s hands and was used to manipulate Sora’s memories. She erased Kairi and the better part of his travels and inserted herself as a fourth girl living with him back at Destiny Islands, gradually erasing more and more of his past until only she and Riku remained. She also erased everything Jiminy Cricket had written down in recording Sora, Donald, and Goofy’s travels, and changed the charm that Kairi had given Sora, as well as the memory behind it.
In the basement, the Organization’s Number IV (Vexen) created a Replica of Sora’s best friend, Riku. Originally, it didn’t have any of Riku’s memories and saw his original self as a weakling. But Naminé was ordered to alter its memories, filling them with Riku’s and gradually changing them to complement Sora’s false memories as the Keybearer moved higher into the castle.
But Naminé didn’t really want to go through with the Organization’s plan to add Sora to their ranks with her as his puppeteer, and so when the Organization’s Number VIII (Axel) gave her the chance she ran to meet him in Castle Oblivion’s contrived Destiny Islands and undid some of her work on his memories. Sora realized that she wasn’t the person most important to him, but still couldn’t remember Kairi. It was at this point that the Replica intervened, nearly killing Sora before Namine made the chilling decision to smash the heart she had created for it and render it a useless doll. The Organization’s Number XII (Larxene), who had encountered Sora earlier in the castle and was fond of tormenting Naminé, proceeded to lay out in glowing detail how the Organization and Naminé had been fooling him all along--much to Naminé’s faked shame and dismay. But when Larxene moved to destroy Sora, Naminé leapt to his defense in spite of all she’d done. Larxene swept her aside like a doll, but it bought Donald and Goofy enough time to catch up and protect Sora.
Once Larxene was eliminated, Naminé explained more fully what she had done to Sora and his friends’ memories, and promised to watch over the broken Replica while they went on to take out the Organization’s Number XI (Marluxia) and lord of the castle. But Naminé was seized by Marluxia before Sora could fight him, and once Axel was out of the way, Marluxia ordered her to erase Sora’s memory completely. Naminé was shocked and outright refused. But Sora urged her to go ahead, insisting he didn’t need it to fight Marluxia and that it would be worse if Naminé were killed.
Just when things looked bleak, Riku’s Replica attacked Marluxia, freeing Naminé from his clutches and defending her along with Sora. Sora proceeded on alone to battle Marluxia, leaving the Replica to protect Naminé as he’d wanted, and returned victorious. The Replica left them and Naminé gave Sora a fateful choice; either give up the memories he’d lost and accept himself as he was now, or sacrifice the memories he’d gleaned from his experiences in Castle Oblivion and return to the Sora of before. Ultimately, Sora decided to do just that, and Naminé sealed him away in a pod while she started to reconstruct his memories--but not before making a pinky promise to meet up and become friends for real when he awoke.
The real Riku also encountered Naminé, once when she spoke to him in Kairi’s voice to save him from Zexion’s darkness, and again when he went to the false Twilight Town. She offered him a chance to seal away the darkness that was Ansem (actually Xehanort’s Heartless) and go back to the Riku from Destiny Islands, but he turned her down.
Together with DiZ, the three of them watched over Sora during the long year he was asleep. During that year, Naminé met with the fourteenth Organization member, Xion, and Riku collected the Organization’s Number XIII (Roxas) to return him to Sora. For seven days, the Nobody whose memories of the Organization had been erased lived in a data copy of Twilight Town created by DiZ and gradually lost himself to Sora. Naminé met with him briefly to explain to him what he and she both were, and what was going to happen when he rejoined Sora. Ultimately, she was jettisoned and taken under Axel’s wing when he came to collect Roxas and failed. Riku allowed the both of them to escape despite the fact that DiZ had ordered them destroyed.
Naminé then requested that Axel bring Kairi to her from Destiny Islands, but in transit Axel lost her to the Organization’s Number VII (Saix) and was killed between the data Twilight Town and The World That Never Was, where the rest of the Organization was headquartered. In lieu of him, Naminé went to The World That Never Was and rescued Kairi from captivity. Along the way, they encountered Saix, but a cloaked stranger who proved to be Riku fought him off and Naminé joined with Kairi. She appeared one more time, opening a portal to Destiny Islands for the victorious Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey once Xemnas was (presumably) destroyed. Then she spoke briefly with Roxas and disappeared into Kairi permanently, only able to smile at Roxas when Kairi smiled at Sora.
Other: Naminé is very attached to Sora due to her connection to Kairi, but also out of the honest affection he showed her in spite of her lies. That could very easily grow into something more, but Naminé will always be hindered by the fact that she doesn't have the heart that Kairi does and her emotions are based on shreds of memories. Her relationship with Roxas is purely platonic; she sees him more as a fellow lost Nobody, and considering their origin is more like brother and sister she isn't likely to change that viewpoint despite their opposing stations in Sora and Kairi. Riku is another person who would be close to her heart if she had one, as the two of them spent a year together under DiZ's watchful eye, but despite his closeness to her during Chain of Memories specifically Riku never showed any particular interest and Naminé is not of the disposition to force things. As for the Organization, she doesn't trust a single one of them after the events at Castle Oblivion, though she did deal with Axel's presence when Riku spared their lives and was able to convince him to help her and likely has an ally in him.
