Biography
Nami channels the primal energies of the ocean, harnessing its mystical restorative properties and commanding the raw power of the tides themselves. Though many doubted her, Nami had the bravery and determination to take on a dangerous quest when no one else would. Now her people believe she is the Tidecaller, a chosen one destined to complete a quest essential to the survival of her entire race.
The Tidecaller's sacred duty is to acquire a moonstone, a powerful object found only in the towering reaches of the surface world. Her people, the Marai, rely on the moonstone's light to ward off the terrors of the depths. However, the stone's power lasts only one hundred years. Before its light fades, the Tidecaller must journey into the Great Deep, retrieve an abyssal pearl, and carry it to the surface. There, on the night of the winter solstice of the hundredth year, the Tidecaller makes a ceremonial exchange with a landwalker bearing a moonstone. By trading the pearl for the moonstone, the Tidecaller ensures the survival of the Marai for another century.
However, in Nami's time, as the hundred years drew to a close, no Tidecaller had been found. Without a chosen one to complete the quest, her people would face disaster, but the Marai waited in faith that the Tidecaller would appear. Nami refused to sit idle, insisting that without a Tidecaller to save them, someone had to act. Bravely, she decided to begin the quest herself and ventured alone into the dangerous depths. None expected her to survive, but after six days of battles with untold horrors, Nami returned with the pearl in hand. The Marai hailed her as the new Tidecaller. All that remained was for Nami to journey to the surface and complete the exchange.
When Nami arrived at the surface, however, she found only an empty shore. She waited for days in a mystic cove, unsure of what to do. In all the legends of the Tidecallers, the bearer of the moonstone had never failed to arrive. Nami faced a choice. She knew the surface world only through tale and rumor, but the survival of the Marai depended upon her. Summoning the tide to bear her ashore, Nami began her search for the moonstone and became the first of her kind to explore the world above the ocean. She left her home behind, and vowed not to return until she had completed the Tidecaller's quest.
''I am the tide, and I cannot be turned.''

Diana : The "Lunari" was the civilisation that customarily traded the moonstone for the pearl with Nami's people. Sometime in the last 100 years, the Solari wiped out the "Lunari" (a theory that already has quite strong evidence of its own), attempting to erase all knowledge of its teachings and existence, thus explaining why the moonstone carrier never showed up for Nami. Additional evidence is provided by "a powerful object found only in the towering reaches of the surface world", suggesting that the moonstone is to be found on Mount Targon. Now it falls to Nami to discover the truth before the current moonstone that protects her village fails.

OBSERVATION
The Great Hall has played host to many unusual creatures throughout the years, but it has never seen a being quite like Nami before. Though her fingers clench nervously around her elegant staff, the Tidecaller's eyes wander about the hall with an insatiable curiosity. Her fishlike body is supported by a pool of water that roils below her tail and follows her as she glides across the floor, providing her with a medium to travel through. As she approached the great doors, her eyes lingered on the inscription embedded in its frame. Seconds later, the Marai leaped backwards in fright as they swung open to admit her. After waiting a moment longer to ensure that the doors are done moving, she "swims" nervously into the blackness that waits beyond.
REFLECTION
Although the darkness is nothing new to Nami, she felt more vulnerable than ever as the doors closed behind her. The humans known as "summoners" appeared to be trustworthy enough, but on her journey inland Nami had met more than a few that she'd had to beat off with her staff. There was no telling what they had in store for her here, and that thought was enough for Nami to bring her staff to a ready position. If they wanted to try anything, they'd quickly find that she wasn't as vulnerable as she seemed.
A sudden twinkle of light from the darkness beyond caught Nami's attention. She lowered her staff slowly as she gazed at the pinprick, memories rising unbidden in her mind. The soft glow reminded her so much of the lights that burned in her village, keeping each home lit from the inside. She swam closer to get a better look, but shrank backwards in surprise as a multitude of the lights flared up before her vision. Nami found herself back home with the rest of her people, standing in the center of the town and blinking with shock. It was darker than she remembered, the moonstone having fallen dead some weeks ago, but simply seeing her village again was a gift. The cool touch of the ocean echoed against her skin and she rejoiced to be one with it once more. For a moment, the water's embrace was the only thing she could feel and she closed her eyes, basking in the sensation.
A voice broke the young Marai out of here reverie. "What are you doing out so late, Nami?" it said in a soft, gentle tone. Nami's eyes snapped open at the sound to find the elder of her village gazing down at her, concern etched into his lined face.
"I came to find you," she said briskly, with no time for pleasantries. "With all due respect sir, we must send someone to retrieve the abyssal pearl immediately. The monsters from the depths will be coming, and without a moonstone –"
But she was interrupted by a gentle laugh. "You needn't worry, Nami," the old Marai said, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "The Tidecaller will come. I know you're impatient, but you must have faith. They have never failed to appear before, and never will."
Nami shook off the old man's grasp, frustration welling up inside her. "But we need them now," she snapped. "It's been days since the moonstone went out. How much longer are we going to have to wait?" She gestured to the darkness of the abyss that loomed off to her right. "I bet you the things down in the depths aren't going to wait that long."
The old Marai shook his head slowly. "Patience, Nami," he repeated more firmly than before. "We must have patience."
Nami was done being patient. "If you won't send anyone, then I'm going," she spat at him. With a flourish of her tail, she was off, gliding through the waters towards her own dwelling. She ignored the calls of the elder and hardly heard the muttering of the other Marai who'd witnessed the event. "Puddle monsters," she whispered to herself as she darted inside her dwelling. If they weren't going to save themselves, she'd do it for them. Her hand found her staff resting by the doorway and she seized it, taking it with her as she moved deeper inside the house. There was no telling what she'd meet down there in the abyss and it was best to be prepared.
A shadow fell across her suddenly and Nami gave an angry huff. "You can't stop me from doing this," she said over her shoulder at whomever had followed her inside. "I'm going to find that pearl, and I'm going to get a moonstone for us. You can either help me or stay home."
The reply that she received was not what she expected though. "Why do you want to join the League, Nami?" came the elder's voice.
The young Marai paused, turning slowly around to confront her village's leader. He looked normal, but there was something odd about the way his eyes looked at her. She shuddered involuntarily before answering. "I got the pearl and went to exchange it with the landwalker for the moonstone," she said slowly. "When I got to the surface though, they never came. I waited for days for someone, anyone, to show up. I couldn't wait any longer."
The elder inclined his head as a signal for her to go on. "Your League offers its champions a place of celebrity," she continued. "If I fight for you, I'll be able to ask the world about the moonstone and where I can find one." She straightened her body, attempting to look like a Tidecaller should. "I will do whatever it takes to save my people."
An impassive stare greeted her statement. "And how does it feel to expose your mind?" the illusion asked.
Nami shrugged. "It's a small price to pay to save the Marai, don't you think?" she answered. The elder didn't reply to the comment, but a second later Nami found herself once more in the Reflection Chamber in the Institute of War. She shivered briefly at the feel of air on her skin once more, then forged onwards to take her place as the newest champion of the League.
