Background / History

Origins and early life

Nara is the daughter of Isabella Dacmi—born Isabella Tagule, a branch member of Interkami's royal family—and Jacques Dacmi. Isabella fled royal-family conflict, settled in a Kexi village, and later gave birth to Nara. 64

From Nara's birth onward, Negary researched the Dragon Blood awakening within her body. Dragon Blood was later revealed to be the source material for Soul Blood; as impurities were drawn from Nara's soul, they formed a secondary personality connected to Negary while leaving Nara herself increasingly pure. 32 61

She inherited Chris's Breathing Method and trained under Rivers, a former Divine Grace Church knight. Her rapidly awakening Dragon Blood gave her superhuman strength and endurance despite her small frame. 64 65

Seven-Year War

During the war between Interkami and Roas, Nara became a sword-bearing leader whose courage began restoring cohesion to demoralized Interkami forces. Though she disliked war, she continued fighting for her people and led a counteroffensive against Roas. 70 72 79

As Interkami's Saint of Salvation and a princess, she became the central figure in postwar negotiations. Roas specifically demanded that she serve as the representative signing the agreement, while Interkami nobles attempted to manipulate public opinion around her decision. 84 85

Aldrich revealed that Nara was qualified to become First Dragon's successor and might need to burn herself as a torch to stop the Black Abyss. She chose to continue walking what she considered the right path despite the possibility of self-destruction. 87

Petrification and revival

After igniting the First Flame, Nara's Correct Path was achieved, but she turned to stone. Her sacrifice for righteousness endured in later history, and she remained petrified for roughly a thousand years. 476 581

She was revived using Valsis's dragon bones, though portions of her body initially remained petrified. Negary later removed the remaining petrification during their confrontation. 510

Evil Spirit crisis

After awakening, Nara recognized that the Saint Salvation Society—renamed the Ash Knights—had distorted her legacy into abnormal fanaticism. She rejected worship, describing herself as an ordinary person who had merely done the right thing at the right time. 510

She established the Evil Spirit Subjugation Corps to address the spreading Evil Spirit disaster rather than to become a savior. As support from major kingdoms weakened, the corps increasingly became a civilian organization. 511 540

During the campaign through the Collapsed Sacred Valley, she defended a passage-building operation against the endlessly reviving Unfinished Ones. She repeatedly chose the safety of others over her own survival, even when that decision worsened her condition and sharply reduced her chances of living. 569 570

Appearance

Nara is commonly depicted as a blonde young woman in knight's armor carrying a sword. Her presence is described as exceptionally pure and beautiful, yet approachable rather than imposing. 476 540

• Usually wears heavy knight's armor in battle. 70 540
• Initially has azure eyes; when her Dragon Blood manifests, they become golden vertical slits. 82
• Her Dragon Blood awakening is associated with a golden gleam in her eyes and an unusually voracious appetite. 42
• Statues in the New Kingdom of Roas portray her as an armored, sword-wielding guardian goddess. 476

Personality

Nara is defined by her insistence on doing what she believes is right. She does not treat survival as her highest priority: when the optimal route for her own safety conflicts with saving innocent people, she knowingly accepts the more dangerous choice. 569 570

Her compassion is not passivity. Nara is willing to kill enemies who threaten those she protects, and her justice is specifically directed toward helping those who ought to be helped rather than refusing violence under all circumstances. 570

She remains modest despite widespread reverence, rejects being treated as an object of worship, and recognizes when her name and deeds have been exploited by others. 510 Her resolve nevertheless includes strategic restraint; when facing a time limit on her power, she retreats rather than pursue a losing engagement. 572

Abilities & Skills

Dragon Blood

Nara carries the Tagule Family's Dragon Blood, the counterpart to Negary's Soul Blood.

• Greatly enhances her physical constitution, strength, and vitality. 32 65
• Gives her exceptional talent for the Breathing Method and combat. 65
• Alters her eyes into golden vertical slits during active manifestation. 82
• Has produced a secondary personality belonging to Negary within her body; Negary once temporarily took control due to the disparity in their soul attainments. 61
• Its connection to Negary made her a key source in the creation of Soul Blood. 60 61

Breathing Method and swordsmanship

Nara combines the Breathing Method with Dragon Blood to fight as a knight.

• Uses breathing Rhythm to coordinate her body and movements with unusual precision. 65
• Can alter or exploit the surrounding environmental Rhythm in combat. 82
• Fought Rivers with a heavy knight's sword and forced him to concede during training. 65
• Used a broken sword to create an invisible cutting edge that wounded Smick. 82

Black Abyss origin

Nara's true origin power is the Black Abyss, an incomprehensible force she eventually accepts.

• Her attacks can leave Black Abyss power within a target, preventing Negary's Dragon of Eternal Sin body from regenerating normally. 105
• Her fully accepted origin power is difficult for opponents to perceive or attack directly. 547
• Destroyed a cursed book and the apostle using it against her. 547
• Using her true strength to suppress enemies aggravates her physical condition. 569

Path of Correctness

Nara is constructing the Path of Correctness around her personal conviction rather than allegiance to White Light or the Black Abyss.

• Guides her toward optimal possibilities, including routes most likely to preserve her life. 569
• Does not compel her to choose survival; Nara deliberately accepts worse odds when saving others is the correct choice to her. 569 570
• Allows her to wield immense battlefield control, including turning nearby flame-aligned laws into longswords. 572
• Has practical limits; she withdrew from battle when her ability's duration became a problem. 572
• Resonated with the String of Truth of correctness after a breakthrough in enlightenment. 580

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Knight's sword — A quality sword bestowed by the king; Smick severed it with a single strike. 82
• Dragon Scale Sword — A sword given to Nara by Negary. She used it to project sword energy and later maintained its cracked blade through her own power until only the hilt remained. 546 582
• Knight's armor — Her usual combat attire, worn during both the Seven-Year War and the later Evil Spirit crisis. 70 540

Relationships

• Isabella Dacmi — Mother; a Tagule royal-family branch member who fled Interkami's internal conflict before Nara's birth. 64
• Jacques Dacmi — Father; his death was one of the harms for which Negary later apologized to Nara. 64 510
• Negary — Bound to Nara through Dragon Blood and the Negary personality within her. He manipulated her life, later apologized for his past actions, and remains the opponent she vows to defeat. 61 510
• Chris — Source of Nara's Breathing Method inheritance. 64
• Rivers — Former Divine Grace knight and Nara's combat instructor; he later became her mother's husband. 64 65 476
• Aldrich — Revealed Nara's qualification as First Dragon's successor. He respected her sacrifice and later preserved her achievements in Roas's historical memory. 87 476
• Les Laval — Marshal and devoted follower who supports Nara's goals even when he fears her sacrifices will destroy her. 70 566
• Jason — Old acquaintance who attempted to stop Nara from entering Sacred Valley out of concern for her safety. 91
• Alex — Former follower who helped manage the Saint Salvation Society/Ash Knights under Nara's direction. 510
• Transnaina — Devoted admirer and ally; assists Nara with potions and openly admires her strength and commitment to saving others. 566 569

Legacy

Nara's perseverance and justice remained known in the Steel Age. Aldrich did not erase her achievements after founding the Empire of Roas; instead, her story was promoted and became part of public memory. 476

In the New Kingdom of Roas, she is revered as a guardian goddess, with statues depicting her as a blonde armored girl wielding a knight's sword. 476 Her historical reputation later became distorted by the Ash Knights' fanatic worship, a development Nara herself immediately recognized as false. 510
