Namari (ナマリ?) is a former member of the Touden siblings' party and a current member of the Tansu party.[2]
Appearance[]
Namari is a dwarf with medium-long reddish-brown hair and black eyes. As characteristic of her race, she is short with a fairly brawny build and has proportionally larger ears. She is about the same height as Senshi.
Personality[]
Before their failed fight against the Red Dragon, Namari seems impatient and brash. She seems to enjoy fighting, leaping at the chance to rough up the possessed body of a missing adventurer to get at the ghost holding him. She also scolds Falin for sparing spirits a fight, calling her soft for it.
It is implied that she used to not care whether she died in the dungeon, but since Falin warped her out, Namari has realized not even resurrection magic can save her if her party is wiped out in a deep level.[3] She has since placed her survival as her highest priority, which tends to put her at odds with her current employer, Mr. Tansu.
Although Namari appears to be solely motivated by money, she is in truth driven to work as an adventurer to pay back for her father's crimes, with hopes to restore honor to the Dwarves of the Island.[4] Her reputation, honor, and work ethic appears to run interference with her worry and loyalty towards her companions, both past and current.[5]
Abilities[]
Namari is a capable warrior who was able to reach the Island's fifth floor as part of the Touden party. She is also known to have fought and killed several dragons.[5]
She has the knowledge to forge her own weapons and armor.[6] She demonstrates a keen understanding of proper outfitting, and is able to appraise the true quality of equipment at a moment's glance. On at least one occasion, she is able to show some proficiency in a weapon she has never used.[2]
Like other dwarves, she has a low affinity for magic, feeling very ill after magical transportation. She is also terrible at judging the ages of other races, especially Tall-men.[3]
Relationships[]
Laios[]
"He's a great guy, of course!"[7]
As the original warrior of the Touden party, Namari has fought alongside Laios as the party's frontline. She seems aware of the limits to his strength, and showed great concern for his safety on a few occasions. She was briefly wary of Laios' capability as a leader after Asivia had manipulated him for special treatment, but would later come to respect his words and judgement.[8] She has apparently criticized the quality of his first sword on multiple occasions, and will push for him to be well equipped.[2]
Marcille[]
Namari was initially on guard with Marcille, after the previous party's mage nearly caused the party to split up.[8] Though Marcille worked to earn Namari's trust for a time, their relationship would once again grow tense after Namari was confronted about her abrupt departure from the party, and what Marcille perceived as total abandonment of Falin. They would later reconcile when Namari affirms her care for Marcille and her former party's safety.[5]
Chilchuck[]
"Greedy."[9]
Namari appears to view Chilchuck as the adult he is, and believes him as the easiest one to talk to within Laios' party. The two are depicted as drinking buddies.[10]
Senshi[]
"A mystery."[9]
Though their interactions were limited, she appears to respect Senshi as a fellow dwarf. She would initially criticize Senshi for the poor state of his equipment, and was notably upset upon realizing his adamantine cooking pot was converted from a shield. Though hesitant to try at first, Namari would come to recognize the quality of Senshi's cooking, and apologized for her comments after realizing how well the adamantine cooking pot could be used.[5]
Falin[]
Though little is shown of the extent of their relationship, it would appear that they are on good terms. Namari believes Falin takes life at her own leisurely pace, and would sometimes disagree on the cleric's softer methods when adventuring. She also preferred Falin's technique in healing magic, as she would make it less painful.[8] Namari was shown to express some regret in leaving Laios' party and their quest to rescue Falin, and was concerned enough with her former companion's safe return that she chanced an attempt to identify Falin's body at the Island's resurrection office.[3]
Shuro[]
Though little is shown of the extent of their relationship, it would appear that they are on good terms.
Mr. Tansu[]
While working for the Tansu party for a little under a week, it is implied that Mr. Tansu has used Namari as a human shield on more than one occasion.[2] Though she appears to hold some resentment due to his apparent carelessness, she strives to earn Mr. Tansu and his family's respect.
Kaka and Kiki[]
Namari would initially confuse the names of either of the siblings. After their first contract working together, Namari would treat the siblings to food and drinks as thanks for their company, and shared advice on surviving the dungeon as the more veteran adventurer. Namari showed interest in learning of the sibling's story and their relationship with their adoptive parents.[3]
History[]
Her father was once in charge of all the weapons that flowed through the Island. He was caught embezzling funds from the government and disappeared soon after. Many dwarves suffered discrimination under the current governor because of this, and resent her for it.[11]
Prior to entering the dungeon with Laios' party, she had argued with the siblings over goals and payment. After rumor about the argument spread, Mr. Tansu approached Namari with a job after she finished one last dungeon run.[5]
