'''Naminé''' is the [[Nobody]] of [[Kairi]]. She first appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and plays a minor role in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.
'''Naminé''' is the [[Nobody]] of [[Kairi]]. She first appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'', and plays a minor role in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''.


Naminé was born when [[Sora]] stabbed himself with [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s artificial [[Keyblade of heart|Keyblade]] in order to return Kairi's heart to her body. This made Naminé a very odd Nobody, born from Kairi's heart and Sora's body and soul. Kairi's own body never became a Nobody because her heart lacked darkness (since she was one of the [[Princesses of Heart]]), so her body and soul were never able to leave the [[Realm of Light]] and thus Kairi was in a comatose state until she regained her heart.

As a result, Naminé was born without Kairi's memories, only furthering her status as an unusual entity. Due to the fact that Naminé is formed from Sora's body and soul, she has the power to manipulate his memories as well as the memories of those who are connected to him, prompting several people, even herself, to refer to her as a "witch". [[Ansem the Wise]] stated that Naminé is a highly unusual Nobody, due to possessing neither the body nor the memories that a Nobody is usually made from,{{storylink|Secret Ansem Report 9}} but later concludes that Naminé is similar to [[Roxas]] and must be made from Sora's body and soul as well.{{storylink|Secret Ansem Report 12}}

Naminé finds her way to [[Lingering Will]] by following Sora's heart. Lingering Will wonders who she is and she explains that she is a witch who can manipulate memory. She also says she knows that he is bound by two sets of memories: Terra's and [[Xehanort]]'s. She claims he will cross paths with [[Aqua]] and he must guide her so that she will not be confused by the darkness. Naminé tells him to keep fighting and never give up. Lingering Will calls Aqua's and Ventus's names.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath-]]'''''</ref><!--http://www.khinsider.com/news/SPOILERS-A-special-conversation-before-KINGDOM-HEARTS-0-2-Birth-By-Sleep-revealed-during-First-Breath-concert-6805 Translation via aibo_ac7 and Goldpanner-->

Naminé's conscience eventually helps her to overcome the loneliness and fear that caused her to go along with Marluxia's scheme, and she reveals herself to Sora after being released by [[Axel]]. She appears to Sora in the memory version of [[Destiny Islands]] as he is conversing with the memory version of herself. Naminé tells him that she had never been in his heart, despite what his memories show him, and urges him to remember Kairi, whose existence is special to him.

Back in the castle halls, Sora confronts Naminé. The Riku Replica arrives, but Sora defeats him. When Sora tries to help him, the replica catches Sora off-guard and strikes him. He is about to move in for the finishing blow, but Naminé quickly shatters the replica's false memories, knocking him unconscious. Larxene then arrives to finish Sora off, but she is defeated when she makes the mistake of harming Naminé and angering Sora.

After the battle, Naminé explains her actions and motivations to Sora, and expresses deep regret, thinking that he will not forgive her. Much to her surprise, Sora is completely forgiving, though he does admit that he isn't happy about what she has done. When asked if anything can be done to restore their old memories, Naminé says she can do so, but only after they defeat the lord of Castle Oblivion, Marluxia, on the 13th floor. Sora goes to fight him, leaving the replica under her care. However, as she is watching over the replica, Marluxia arrives and kidnaps her.

After Marluxia is defeated and the replica departs, Naminé presents Sora with the choice of either keeping his memories of the events that took place in Castle Oblivion and abandoning his old memories, or regaining those and losing the ones of Castle Oblivion. She understands when he ultimately chooses the latter, and leads Sora, Donald, and Goofy to a chamber housing [pod]]s. They can sleep in these while Naminé restores their original memories. Though it will take some time, she assures Sora that he will eventually become his former self. Sora also believes that Naminé will always be in his heart, forgotten but not lost. Thus, the two promise to meet again as real friends, and then Sora falls into a deep slumber.

Naminé also aids Riku in his efforts to conquer the darkness within his heart. When [[Zexion]] overwhelms him with light, Naminé takes on Kairi's form to convince him that he should accept the darkness as well as the light within himself. Thus, he is given the strength to move through the light and strike down Zexion, who barely escapes.
