Nari is a major protagonist in the Tales of Arcadia franchise. She is a former member of the Arcane Order who abandoned their cause after realizing that they were causing disorder instead of balance.
She is voiced by Angel Lin.
What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
- She, alongside her siblings Bellroc and Skrael, created the universe whilst using the Titans as their handmaidens, intending for the Earth to be a paradise for all life to inhabit. Although this is never shown happening, it negates being offscreen heroism because it explains the very existence of the Titans themselves.
- Upon seeing humanity's corruption upon the world, unlike Bellroc and Skrael, whose views of the balance were that magic would overthrow mortal as the dominant species, Nari genuinely believed in a true balance where magic and mortal could live together in harmony and that humanity can be redeemed.
- She came to realize that all that the Arcane Order were doing were causing more pain and destruction instead of balance and that they were hypocritical in their actions. This is shown through her connection of souls and being able to feel the pain and the many deaths that occurred during the Battle of Killahead Bridge.
- When Bellroc and Skrael decided to switch their plot to destroying the universe and remaking the world thanks to Morgana's half-measures, Nari defected from the Arcane Order as they now planned to use Nari to open the Genesis Seals and unleash the Titans upon the world and connect them with the Heartstone beneath the land which would become the town of Arcadia-Oaks, the center of the universe, to prevent the destruction of reality itself. She even hid in the now-flying Camelot to escape from them and protect the universe, her own creation alongside them, from the Order.
- She genuinely cared about Bellroc and Skrael as she tried to convince them both that the suffering that the three of them were responsible for was not worth bringing their own version of the balance, and she only killed Skrael when he proved to be irredeemable and too much of a threat to the universe.
- She never had any resentment towards Merlin when she was kept at bay for a millennium alongside Bellroc and Skrael when they were attacking Camelot a hundred years prior to the 12th century, accepting it with dignity. Also, she was heartbroken upon seeing that the Arcane Order was attacking the kingdom, which is when she started to realize how evil and self-righteous the Arcane Order truly was.
- She was genuinely kind to both Morgana and her childhood friend Guinevere when they were both young, as she showed them her magic to lift their spirits. When Arthur swung at her with his toy sword, Nari didn't fight back to defend herself and fled.
- She was the only member of the Arcane Order who genuinely cared about Morgana, as she was the one who brought her back to life in the first place and created her magical prosthetic to replace her left hand, which Arthur severed in battle. Unlike Bellroc and Skrael, there's not even an implication that Nari was planning to use Morgana to attack Camelot.
- Unlike Bellroc and Skrael, Nari never outright killed anyone during the Battle of Killahead Bridge when intervening in the battle, only attacking some knights who were fighting in the battle but never causing any permanent damage.
- Nine centuries later during the 21st century, she helped Douxie, Jim, Claire, and Steve escape through a time rift back to the 12th century when the now-flying steampunk castle of Camelot was attacked by the Arcane Order consisting of Bellroc, Skrael, and King Arthur who became the Green Knight.
- She attempted to find Jim's soul so he can finally be freed from the spiritual corruption and brainwashing of the Onyx Shard shot into his heart by Arthur.
- She hid from the Arcane Order alongside Douxie following Arthur's death and the temporary defeat of Bellroc and Skrael, as the latter two were now on the search for her so they can take her captive and force her to open the Genesis Seals alongside them and reduce the universe, their own creation, to nothingness.
- She told the Guardians of Arcadia a clue to stopping the Arcane Order once and for all, telling them about a device known as the Khronisfere, that time is like a flower, and that only the Trollhunter, Jim Lake Jr., will know when to use it.
- She helps her friends get out of the police department when they were arrested by having a plant grow big enough to stop the police guards from attempting to stop them. This isn't an immoral choice at all, as they were trying to stop Bellroc and Skrael and they were putting the universe at risk if they didn't escape.
- Though she eventually helped Bellroc and Skrael to destroy the universe and remake the world with the Earth Titan, and also killed Nomura when she tried to stop her, it was only because of her being put under a mind-control spell by Bellroc, ultimately making this Bellroc's doing and not Nari's. She feels immense remorse for what she's done under Bellroc's brainwashing, and ultimately makes up for it by:
- Reminding Jim about the clue she told the Guardians earlier involving the Khronisfere and the Trollhunter. While Jim ends up using it to go back in time so Toby can be the Trollhunter and thus, risk the universe being put in danger after the Arcane Order's defeat because he couldn't accept Toby's loss, there is no insinuation that this is what Nari intended for him to do, nor what she meant by her clue.
- Battling Skrael at Arcadia National Park to stop him from connecting with the Heartstone so he can remake the world the way he wants it, as an icy, uninhabitable wasteland.
- Saving a school bus with a coach and many students inside during said battle, and only killing Skrael when he used the Ice Titan to puncture through the Earth Titan and kill her first, and after she saw that the Arcane Order were irredeemably evil.
Trivia[]
- Out of all the original members of the Arcane Order, Nari is the only one who is Pure Good, which is a stark contrast to Bellroc and Skrael being Pure Evil.
- She is the only Tales of Arcadia Pure Good hero to be a demigod as both Kanjigar the Courageous and AAARRRGGHH!!! are trolls.
