“ | So you know how old I am, huh? Weird. Most people can't stop talking about how young I look. | ” | — Nowi, to Gregor |
---|
Nowi (Japanese: ノノ, Nono) is a playable character in Fire Emblem Awakening. She is a manakete, though her dragon tribe is unspecified.
Fire Emblem Awakening
Role
Nowi fills an unusual gameplay role in Awakening. She is an early-game Manakete, joining in only Chapter 8. She is one of three-four if the younger Spotpass Tiki is counted-default Manakete in the game, the others being Tiki and Nah. The only other manakete in the series to join as early is Bantu, however, Nowi does not suffer from bad growth rates like Bantu.
Her story role is minor, she is encountered and rescued by the Shepherds during their journey to Plegia. There she is fleeing from slave traders, the Grimleal, and Gregor. After Gregor attempts to explain that he is not going to harm her they fend off the Grimleal until they and the Shepherds defeat them. She has been separated from her parents for a while, and after some divination by Tharja, they are revealed to be deceased, leaving her orphaned.

Personality and character
Nowi acts childish and is very energetic. She seems to have more knowledge about the world than her actions imply. She is familiar with the effects of dragonstones on young manakete, being presumably self-taught as her parents were never around.[1] Having never known her parents, she is unfamiliar with how families generally function.[2] She also has difficulty sleeping without her dragonstone.[3] She is also a terrible liar, being unable to maintain a calm tone of voice when doing so.[4]
As mentioned, she seems to know more about many things than she lets on, Tharja also mentions that she is unable to read her completely.[5] Nowi is also not foolish enough to accept that Tharja being unable to divine her parent's location means anything other than their deaths, though she at first pretends to be fooled.[6][7] Nowi considers her role in the army as one of morale support, mentioning that her playful nature soothes those around her.[8] Having lived for over a thousand years, Nowi has learned plenty of skills, such as massaging.[9]
She has no attachment to money, according to her, most manakete have this view towards money.[10] She seems unfamiliar with the human anatomy, particularly the location of the heart.[11]
