Na'er

Biodata

Background

Na'er is found alone after being bullied in an alley. She has no memories, family records, or personal information that Leng Yaozhu can uncover, leaving her origins unknown to those around her 10 13 14.

Qiangu Wuji takes responsibility for her after Tang Wulin worries that he cannot protect her. Na'er agrees to go with Wuji and clings tightly to his sleeve, rapidly forming a strong dependence on him 12 13.

Leng Yaozhu initially intends to care for Na'er herself, but her Spirit Pagoda duties prevent her from doing so. She arranges for Yun Ming and Yali to adopt Na'er; Na'er reluctantly accepts after Wuji promises that he will visit her 36 37.

By the time she returns to East Sea with a Soul Master team from Shrek's inner court, Na'er is searching specifically for “Wuji Brother.” She defends him fiercely when Zhang Batian disparages him, revealing that Wuji refused Shrek Academy rather than failing to enter it 95.

• Long silver hair 13
• Crimson eyes 13
• Beautiful, large eyes 94
• Initially small and childlike; later grows taller and begins to carry the air of a young girl 94

Personality

Initially amnesiac and reticent, Na'er is timid around unfamiliar or hostile people. She relies heavily on Qiangu Wuji for reassurance and safety, including silently tugging on his arm when anxious during the meeting concerning her adoption 13 37.

Despite her gentle demeanor, Na'er is deeply loyal to Wuji. Her normally placid nature breaks when Zhang Batian insults him; she openly shouts at him and becomes distressed when others dismiss Wuji as incapable 95. She also shows curiosity and intelligence, secretly listening to Leng Yaozhu and Zhen Hua's conversation about Battle Armor repairs 26.

Relationships

• Qiangu Wuji — Her adopted elder brother and primary source of security. Na'er trusts him deeply, resists separation from him, and later travels to East Sea to find him 13 37 95.
• Gu Yue — Gu Yue's other half. Their presence around one another creates visible tension; Na'er is initially fearful of Gu Yue, while Gu Yue reacts with irritation and conflicted concern toward her 13 14.
• Leng Yaozhu — Temporary guardian who investigates Na'er's origins, takes her into the household, and ultimately arranges her adoption for her safety and development 14 36 37.
• Yun Ming and Yali — Her adoptive guardians. They agree to take her in after Leng Yaozhu explains that she cannot personally care for Na'er while managing Spirit Pagoda affairs 37.
• Tang Wulin — Helps rescue Na'er from the alley and worries about her safety, but entrusts her care to Qiangu Wuji 10 12 13.
• Teacher Ye — Protective teacher accompanying Na'er on the Shrek team’s trip to East Sea; she is concerned enough about Na'er running away to lock her in her room 94 98.
