Okay, I am severely curious about Na- Ner.. Hold on *checks notes* Narnia- Nareena! I'm curious about Nareena!

Ramble free zone, I wanna know who they are

~Jayden (He/They/Xe)

WEHEHE TYY SO MUCH FOR THE ASK IM!!!! SO EXCITED GOD . NAREENA. WHERE DO I EVEN START!!! Left side is his healing arc :3

Fun fact! My best friend picked Nareena's name. Originally I just called her "elder", and then I went ok give me a name off the top of your head GO and fae said Nareena so. That is his name now. I didn't even second guess it or anything

OK LONG RANT AHEAD WOOPS:

UH TW FOR RELIGIOUS ABUSE!! they grew up in a cult essentially so

Nareena's the eldest sibling at the orphanage- not really based on age, lots of them don't even know their birthdays, but based off ranking. She's the most obedient, and most knowledgeable of their traditions and scriptures, so she's earned her title of an elder.

Nareena views all the kids as his siblings, though he'd always had a soft spot for Sokar, which Masha takes note of and absuloutely despises. This causes a lot of conflict between the three that Sokar is mostly unaware of till the Tragedy TM

Why does Nareena have a soft spot for Sokar? Well!! They're much more alike than most people believe, Nareena just keeps a lot of her issues internal, while Sokar can't help but wear her heart on her sleeve. Nareena feels as though comforting Sokar helps her in some way- giving someone the care she wishes she had?

He keeps his hair short consistently, since the adults at the orphanage shave Sokar's hair as soon as it grows long so she doesn't start getting any ideas about being like the girls- Nareena says that if he's a girl with short hair, then Sokar can be too.

The Tragedy TM occurs because of Nareena. She tells on Masha despite knowing what they'd do to her, because she knows what they'd do to her, and the adults salute her for it. She doesn't feel like she did something holy or right. She feels dirty and awful and guilty. She misses Masha. She shouldn't miss a traitor, should she?

Nareena grows her hair out after Masha's death and Sokar's dissaperance. She grows into her role as an older sister- she becomes everything she knows Masha and Sokar hated. She keeps the kids in line. She wears her ritual scar on her chest proudly and shamefully at the same time- she survived, but you wouldn't want to end up like her, would you?

Nareena breaks apart any kid who has any resemblance to Masha or Sokar, and lies awake in her new room regretting it every single night. She says it's for the best. She says if she doesn't teach them now, they'll get too cocky. They'll end up just like her. She's keeping them safe. She's keeping them safe, isn't she?

No one's seen Nareena smile in a long, long time. Some of the adults who grew up with her swear she used to laugh, used to voice her opinions without a second thought, and none of the kids believe them.

UMM BUCNH OF PLOT STUFF I DONT FULLY HAVE FIGURED OUT HAPPENS BUT !!! basically Nareena's sent out to search for a rouge demon [btw they're all demons idk if the horns made it obvious] who wasn't in the orphanage or anywhere underground, and it turns out to be Sokar!! Insert nuclear level argument and plot stuff happens and uhhh ghost Masha moves on, Nareena almost dies [but doesnt!] and they dismantle the cult/orphanage [just barely] and yaayy!! Nareena healing arc

Nareena is such an asshole. He thinks he's better than everyone but like ?? Like he thinks it's a fact. He doesn't gloat but he's consistently condescending and speaks as if you wouldn't understand a word she's saying unless she spelled it out for you. Nareena thinks there's not a single thing in the world she could struggle with. Think Jayce league of legends! Self-loathing asshole who somehow believes he's perfect and has intense catholic guilt despite not being catholic. He DOES work on this- Cassandra helps considering they do NOT tolerate that behaviour and make it very obvious why being an asshole is gonna backfire on you eventually. Eventually Nareena starts to realise other people's opinions and points of view matter and his experiences r not universal <3 never put her in a position of charge ever again tho. Brings out his demons

Nareena cuts her hair again- he's always liked it shorter, and now that he's realising everything he'd learned as a child was mostly bullshit, she's learning to accept parts of herself she'd shunned away out of shame. Nareena wears clothes she never would have before, lets himself read books for the sake of having fun rather than learning, and he tells Sokar he doesn't really feel like a girl, despite still wanting to be called a sister.

His relationship with Sokar has a lot of hurdles- Nareena realising Sokar isn't a child anymore, and not naive nor 12, and how that doesn't fit in her perception of Sokar causes a ton of issues, but they work it out! Nareena adapts to the surface a lot better than Sokar too- considering Nareena was a full-fledged adult with a support system while Sokar was a traumatised 14 year old practically dumped on the side of the road after she'd watched her sister die, which Sokar almost feels jealous of, or bad about. They also work this out tho :3 also Sokar has obviously had many years to overcome her religious trauma, but Nareena still thinks based on what she learned as a child on instinct, and has no brain to mouth filter, so she ends up saying upsetting things very often. Sokar knows Nareena's still learning, but it's making her feel bad too, so like argument ensues.

UM THIS IS SO LONG SORRY I THINK THATS ENOUGH . I wrote a whole thing about the tragedy but it was like 4 whole pages [woops] so I might just brush it up and post it on ao3 or something :3 if you'd like to read that let me knoww
