Naga (character)

Naga (alternately translated Narga in Fire Emblem Treasure), is a recurring character in the Fire Emblem series, specifically the Akaneia and Jugdral Series. Naga is the leader of the Divine Dragons, but due to its sympathy for humanity it is often hailed as a god by them.

Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi/Monshō no Nazo/Shadow Dragon
Naga was the leader of the Divine Dragon tribe of Manaketes who protected mankind from the Earth Dragons by using the Shield of Seals, which it forged from its own fangs. After the Earth Dragons were sealed it created the sword Falchion, also from one of its fangs, and ordered the surviving Earth Dragon prince, Medeus, to guard the seal. Shortly before its death, it placed her newborn daughter, Tiki, into a deep sleep and entrusted Gotoh to watch over humanity in its place and also to make sure its daughter did not go wild and destroy the world. In the remake, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, the new addition Nagi is hinted to be a reincarnation of Naga, if not Naga herself, she gives Marth a weaker version of the Falchion to make up for the one he did not have, Medeus mentions that she was actually revived like himself, and her ending title in the Japanese version is "Divine Dragon King's Incarnation".

Seisen no Keifu/Thracia 776
Naga, taking the form of a young maiden, was one of the dragons who blood bonded with the Twelve Crusaders during the Miracle of Darna specifically the Saint Heim, who would wield the tome named after her. Because of this, Prince Kurth, his daughter Diadora, and later two of Diadora's children, Yuria and Celice, carry Naga's blood.

The developers notes reveal that Heim and Naga shared personas, similar to Yurius and Loptous.

Fire Emblem: Kakusei
Naga is the Divine Dragon who protected mankind, and gave her power to the Hero King of Iris to defeat the Evil Dragon Gimle, who wished for mankind's destruction.

Gender
Despite being referred to as male and even being depicted as a blonde warrior in the opening of Monshō no Nazo, there is evidence that Naga may be female: Nagi, Naga's possible reincarnation, is female and Naga even appeared in the form of a young female to Heim and Chrom.

Trivia

 * Although it is not mentioned in Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn, Kurthnaga's name is a combination of his name and that of Prince Kurth's, who has major Naga blood.
