Take me with you. I must...finish what I started...I think. I must fight with you.
— Nagi to Marth

Nagi (Japanese: ナギ Nagi) is a playable Manakete appearing in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. In both games that she appears in, there is little solid information about Nagi. However it is heavily implied, both in the dialogue and in the game data, that Nagi's true identity is Naga, the Divine Dragon King of legend.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Nagi with another Falchion, as depicted in Fire Emblem Cipher.

Role

Nagi's primary gameplay purpose is to serve as a failsafe for the player. She is only recruited if Marth has failed to collect Falchion, and Tiki has either died or not been recruited. With her Divine Dragon power, and her possession of another Falchion, she is Marth's saving grace.

She first appears in Chapter 24x if the player completes Chapter 24 without Tiki and Falchion in their possession (although an exploit can be used to keep Falchion). If this occurs, Gotoh warns Marth that he does not possess the power to defeat Medeus and advises him to seek help from the guardian of a tower located in another realm. At the top of the tower, Marth meets Nagi, who agrees to join Marth's cause and rewards him with a weaker version of the original Falchion. During the battle with Medeus, Medeus remarks that he knows Nagi, but their relationship is unclear.[1] She is also apparently familiar with Gotoh.[2]

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem

Role

Like in Shadow Dragon, Nagi serves as a powerful lategame unit to assist Marth in the last leg of his journey.

Nagi comes to Marth's aid once again, joining Marth's army of her own accord in Chapter 22, but Marth does not recognize her and only finds her familiar,[3] possibly indicating Nagi's recruitment in Shadow Dragon did not occur.

Personality and character

Nagi appears to have lost her memories.[4] She speaks little, and when she does she seems to pause a lot, much like Sophia. She appears to have a benevolent, if quiet nature.

Nagi, Dragon Ruler
Marth would have thanked Nagi after Medeus fell, but there was no one there to thank. Had she returned home? None ever knew.

New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow

Nagi, Dragon King's Avatar
After the war, Nagi vanished as suddenly as she appeared. History holds no records of her ever appearing again.
