- “I feel so much pain. So many lives lost. This was not worth it.”
- ―Nari to her siblings, seeing the error of her ways in the aftermath of the Battle of Killahead Bridge[src]
Nari of the Eternal Forest was a major character of Wizards and Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans.
She was the former left-hand of the Arcane Order and the sibling of Bellroc and Skrael.
History[]
Backstory[]
Nari created the universe and Earth alongside her companions, Bellroc and Skrael, with the Titans as their handmaidens. Together, the three of them founded the Arcane Order to maintain the balance between mortals and magical beings. Over time, however, Nari realized that their actions were destructive to both worlds and became disgusted by how depraved and zealous her companions became after they gave up on maintaining the balance.
When Nari determined that Bellroc and Skrael cared nothing for magical beings as much as humanity, she renounced the Arcane Order. Nari sought refuge with Merlin within Camelot because her presence was needed for the Arcane Order to break the Genesis Seals, connect the Titans with the Heartstone, and destroy the world she's come to love.
Wizards[]
Nari is first seen before the Arcane Order's attack on the floating Camelot, spotting Archie flying overhead and curiously watching Douxie and company enter the castle. During the evacuation of Camelot, Merlin asked for her help to escape the Arcane Order and she agrees, feeling that her very presence makes her responsible for the attacks. She powered the Heart of Avalon enough for it to open a time rift while everyone was under attack by the Green Knight and the Order. Her magic helped power the Heart, allowing Douxie to open a time rift. Unfortunately, Bellroc, Skrael, and the Green Knight combined their magic into one blast and struck the Heart of Avalon, causing Camelot to fall and the time rift to close prematurely.
In the past, Douxie shows Arthur and Morgana a childhood memory of them and the late Guinevere playing in the woods; there, they stumbled across a friendly Nari, who offered Morgana and Gwen some berries. The young Arthur swiped at her with a knife and threatened her, which caused her to flee in fear. Nari was later seen with Bellroc and Skrael, where she revived a deceased Morgana and, alongside her companions, "gifted" her with immense magic power.
After the First Battle of Killahead, Nari sadly looked over the carnage and wondering if they had done the right thing. After Bellroc dismissed her concerns, she came to the conclusion that everything they've done to preserve the Balance was not worth the pain and suffering that came from their efforts and abandons the Arcane Order.
When Douxie and the gang return to the present, the Arcane Order has just destroyed Camelot and it's about to crash-land in Arcadia. Douxie manages to rescue its inhabitants and right as Merlin notes her sole absence among the group, Nari launches herself from the falling castle and onto the ship (knocking Steve down by accident). Soon after the group is rescued, Camelot crashes into Arcadia Oaks High School and Nari is dismayed by the excess destruction. Merlin introduces Nari to the group right before Jim's corruption worsens; she's miserable from feeling Jim's pain and, unable to heal him, expresses her empathy for his soul.
Right then, the Arcane Order's castle looms over the group and Nari cowards behind Merlin as Bellroc and Skrael try and fail to convince her to return and complete her duty. They send the Green Knight to fetch her but he faces conflict from all sides as Douxie, Claire, AAARRRGGHH!!!, and others try to fight him off. After Jim completes his corruption willingly to fend off the Green Knight himself, the group flees the scene with Nari in tow and hides in an alleyway as the Order's castle tries once again to track Nari down.
Later, Nari helped Claire search for Jim's soul. However, she was unable to find it as it is trapped in another dimension. During the invasion of Hex Tech, she and the rest of the Guardians (minus Krel) were taken captive by Skrael. After the Arcane Order's defeat, Douxie took her to New York to protect her from the Order.
Rise of the Titans[]
At the commencement of the movie, Nari and Douxie are seen on an empty train, the former wearing a disguise of human clothing. Nari hums quietly to herself, but Douxie looks nervous and prepares to leave. Nari calms him, with the words: "No more running", and places a hand in his. Douxie smiles at her and the two sit back down, but a moment later, Bellroc and Skrael arrive to take Nari, marking the beginning of a huge battle on the subway. Nari and Douxie attempt to escape the approaching Bellroc, their approach accompanied by an explosion of molten lava. As they travel down the carriage, they are quickly met by Skrael, who announces to Nari that he and Bellroc have tracked her down and are bringing her back. As Douxie hinders Skrael briefly with magic, Bellroc appears from the flames opposite, saying with mock playfulness that Nari has been a naughty girl. Within moments, the other Trollhunter team members appear through various means to protect Nari, and the battle of magic rages. Nari aids Douxie against Skrael with her nature powers until the Trifurcate Radiation nullifies Skrael's power fleetingly. Taking advantage of the momentary weakness, Douxie hits Skrael over the head with his staff, causing Nari to grin.
When the train eventually runs off the rails, Nari emerges from the wreckage, aided by Claire, but the latter is quickly knocked away by a now impatient Skrael. Bellroc uses their levitational magic to draw Nari towards them, in spite of Nari's frantic protests and attempts to escape. At that moment, Douxie grabs hold of Nari's hand, but is unable to pull her back. Desperately, ignoring the cries of the others to let her go, Douxie looks into Nari's eyes and mutters that the Arcane Order can take him instead of her. His soul and Nari's are then hastily swapped in a subtle spell, and Bellroc triumphantly teleports away with what looks to be Nari's body but is in fact inhabited by Douxie's soul.
Meanwhile, Nari (now in Douxie's body) is apprehended by the police, along with the remaining Trollhunters. Under questioning in the police station, Nari innocently avoids giving any information, instead quietly growing plants, humming, and providing nonsensical information about nature to the officers.
The rest of the Order found out about the subterfuge and was able to sever the spell. They put Nari under their control and break open the Genesis Seals, awaken the Titans and converge to the Center of the Universe and connect to the last primordial Heartstone. The Titans face resistance on the way. Nari kills Nomura while brainwashed. However, the Guardians of Arcadia are able to restore Nari's actual personality. She then vows to stop Skrael. Skrael then meets her and the two fight using their Titans. Tragically, both are evenly matched and Nari had to sacrifice her life in order to kill Skrael and defeat his Titan.
Physical Description[]
Nari resembles a mythical being of nature. She is below average in height, having pointy ears and green skin with noticeable 'veins' resembling ivy vines around her neck, except for her face which is pale cream. She has amber eyes with dark green sclerae, green hair with pink blossoms in it worn in an elaborate medieval style, and a braid that reaches the small of her back. She also has antlers or horns that resemble tree branches growing out of her head, and on her body, she wears green and gold leaf-like pieces that appear similar to armor, covering her chest and shoulders and forming an apron around her waist. She walks barefoot. While bound with the Earth Titan, Nari's eyes glow green.
In her human disguise, she wears a white v-neck shirt with black stripes, a green jacket, jeans, and brown boots. She also has a large white Parisian beanie which hides her hair with her tree branch horns sticking out of two holes and pink glasses.
The color of Nari's magic is light forest green with pink petals.
Personality[]
Nari was originally part of the Arcane Order and sought to protect the balance of mortals and magical beings.
However, due to her empathetic nature, she witnessed the aftermath of the Killahead battle and felt nothing but the pain, suffering, and destruction her overzealous siblings were inflicting upon Camelot, as well as the magical beings by extension. Thus, Nari concludes that what she and her siblings had done was not worth it, renouncing her loyalties to the Arcane Order and fleeing to Camelot for protection.
She is sweet, but also a little anxious and meek. She is shown to have a curious and innocent side, which is shown when she found wonder in Toby's 'godly powers'.
Powers & Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Magic: Being a sort of demigod like her siblings, Nari is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, possessing great magic connected to life itself. After exposing herself to the raw magics of the Genesis Seals, Nari's nature magic was supercharged to near-omnipotence.
- Ecomancy: As the demigod of the Eternal Forest, Nari is capable of performing magic through the physical forces of nature.
- Chlorokinesis: Naturally, Nari is able to command the plants to her will. In Rise of the Titans, she's seen attacking Skrael with an enlarged plant vine from her flower pot.
- Conjuration: Nari is able to conjure green bugs of her own creation, and even flowers out of nothing. She was even the one who created Morgana's signature prothetic left hand after she revived the witch.
- Geokinesis: While fused with her earth titan, Nari was able to bury Skrael and his ice titan under a giant avalanche of boulders from a cliffside.
- Vitikinesis: Nari is able to control and spread vines at an alarming rate with her magic, as shown when she caused a flower pot to create a wall of thick vines in a police station. She can generate vines from her earth titan and (while brainwashed) throw intruders off and even ensnare them. Plus, her vines are shown capable of turning changelings to stone, which are know to be resistant to natural petrification.
- Animancy: Along with her plant magic, Nari has a powerful connection to all life in the world, magical and mortal alike.
- Soul Reading: Nari is able to connect to the roots of nature that spread throughout the world and use them to sense the location of a certain being's soul. If she cannot, it means the said being she is seeking is no longer of this Earth, meaning they are either dead or their soul is trapped in another dimension (like the Shadow Realm). She's once mentioned that she'd felt Merlin's soul pass on after his death at the hands of King Arthur.
- Empathy: Nari is able to sense one's emotions and pain, like she did when she sensed Jim's injury worsening every second in "Wizard Underground". In the aftermath of "Killahead, Part Two", she sensed the pain and strife of the humans and magical creatures who have lost their lives and were left gravely injured.
- Resurrection: Nari has the power to bring the dead back to life, as she revived Morgana to be the Arcane Order's "champion" for the magical.
- Levitation: Like her siblings, Nari is able to float off the ground.
- Precognition (apparently): Before her mind was transferred back to her body, Nari tells Jim to pull Excalibur by uniting the Guardians and find the Krohnisfere to undo all the tragic events that would lead to the Titans' awakening. It is unknown if she could actually see the future or if someone (most likely Merlin) gave her the instructions and pass it down to Jim.
- Channeling: Nari can channel her magic to provide a boost of energy, as she did to the Heart of Avalon so it could open a time rift to the past.
- Immortality: As a sort of demigod, Nari has existed on Earth since the beginning of time.
- Ecomancy: As the demigod of the Eternal Forest, Nari is capable of performing magic through the physical forces of nature.
Abilities[]
- Combatant: During the Battle of Killahead, she was seen easily knocking out warriors twice her size.
Weaknesses[]
- Trifurcate Radiation: When blasted by Krel's trifurcate blaster, Nari's magic is rendered completely nullified, leaving her powerless.
- Titan Link: Nari is naturally linked to her Earth Titan and both cannot thrive without the other, and will even feel the same pain inflicted on her titan. When Skrael stabs her Earth Titan in the stomach, she felt the same pain and her body slowly froze and shattered as her titan was consumed by the Ice Titan's magic.
- Bellroc's Brainwashing (briefly): After being switched back to her body (courtesy of Douxie's transmogrification spell), Bellroc immediately places Nari under their complete control, possessing her entirely to control her Earth Titan. Luckily, Douxie makes it to Nari's body and uses his magic to break Bellroc's spell, restoring Nari back to her old self.
Equipment[]
- Staff: Nari used to carry around a staff, like Bellroc and Skrael, yet ever since defecting from the Arcane Order, her staff is never seen again.
- Flower Pot: While hiding in Metro City, Nari carried a flower pot as a cohort for her plant magic.

Trivia[]
- In Korean, "Nari" means "lily".
- Unlike her siblings, who were using magic against Camelot‘s forces in the Battle of Killahead Bridge, Nari was defeating her enemies with physical combat.
- Nari's emphatic powers are very similar to those of the Marvel superhero Mantis. In addition, they display similar temperaments and personalities.
- It seems that Nari is necessary for the Arcane Order to truly resurrect the dead, as Nari revived Morgana to perfect health (and was the one who gave Morgana her gem prosthetic hand) whereas Bellroc and Skrael raised Arthur yet Arthur was revived appearing undead.
- Sometimes, Nari moves on all fours, displaying more animalistic tendencies than her siblings.
- When Jim reset time to the very beginning of Trollhunters, to save the friends they lost in the battle with the Titans, this created a chance that Nari is one of the fallen few who remains alive in the new timeline.
- Her design and powers are reminiscent of Cosmo from the Sonic franchise.
- In Francisco Ruiz Velasco's sketch of the Arcane Order, it can be seen that it was a concept art in which Nari had a male appearance. [1]
