—Nagi in Shadow Dragon
Nagi is a Divine Dragon manakete that appears in Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. In Shadow Dragon, she is introduced as a special replacement character.
Profile[]
Nagi is a replacement character that appears under special conditions. To unlock her recruitment chapter in Shadow Dragon, Tiki must have previously died, and the Falchion must be lost. If she is recruited, she will take Gotoh's place on the roster in the final chapter.
Before Marth and his forces take on Medeus, Gotoh sends them to a tower in another world known as the Alterspire and instructs him to seek the aid of the tower's master. After passing the trials within, Marth's soul cries out to Nagi, waking her from her slumber. Although she can only remember her own name and has vague familiarity when Marth mentions Gotoh, she feels that she must join Marth in his battle against Medeus. As she joins Marth's forces, she also presents him with another Falchion, though it is weaker than the original.
If Nagi faces Medeus in battle, he will note that he was not the only dragon revived and that she had recovered even less power than he had. In the end, Nagi disappears after the final battle, before Marth can thank her for her help.
Nagi reappears at The Dragon's Table in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem, although Marth does not recognize her, only feeling slight familiarity.
Nagi's Identity[]
It is heavily implied that Nagi is either Naga or her reincarnation. Evidence pointing to this include Nagi's appearance as a Divine Dragon with a strong resemblance to Tiki, her possession of Falchion, her familiarity with Gotoh's name, and her desire to stop Medeus. This is more apparent in the Japanese version, where her ending title is "Divine Dragon King's Incarnation" ("Holy Avatar" in the English version) and the event in which she first appears is labelled as "Revived Divine Dragon King" ("Deity Reborn" in the English version) in the Event Recap. Also, her codename in both the game data and in the official site is "Naga".

Fittingly for Tiki's replacement and possible future self, Nagi is, for all intents and purposes, a pre-trained version of Tiki, with her base stats being fairly close to Tiki's level 15 averages (except Luck). Barring some tricky use of the Aum Staff, upon her recruitment, Nagi is the player's only possible choice to wield the Divinestone, and by extension, one of only two who can deal effective damage to Medeus (and given how subpar Marth is and that his death risks a game-over, she can be considered the only one). Even on Merciless Mode, Nagi takes off most of Medeus' health; she will not survive a counterattack from him, but this can be solved by using the Aum Staff to bring her back and Warp to return her to combat. Her raw power with the Divinestone also means she can take on standard Manaketes effectively, though she fares much worse against human foes.
Comparing Nagi to Gotoh is a difficult question, as the two have essentially opposite roles in gameplay; Gotoh is a supportive character who can aid the player with reaching Medeus but struggles in combat, while Nagi is a purely combative character who excels against a single dominating boss but relies on staff support to reach her potential. If the player lacks Tiki, then Nagi becomes imperative to use, but if the player is considering whether to kill Tiki off simply to obtain Nagi, then there is little reason to care about the difference, as it is fundamentally very small. It can still be worth it if the player has not trained Tiki and has sufficient staff-users to not need to bother with Gotoh, as a base-level Tiki's hit rate on Medeus will be fairly shaky.

Ooh, get a load of that mysterious aura! There's definitely something unusual about this Hero... Is it just me? Anyway, this time, I'll be talking about Nagi! | ||
|
Not much is known about Nagi, and her past is equally shrouded in mystery. The only thing that I know for sure is that she once used the power of the Divine Dragons to help Marth. | ||
|
By the way, it seems like not even Nagi knows very much about herself. She remembers that she'd been sleeping for a very long time, somewhere far, far away...and that's about it. I wonder what she dreamt about? | ||
|
Nagi's past and identity remain a riddle. Will she ever recover her lost memories? I can't wait to find out! | ||
| Closely Associated Characters | |||
| Marth | Prince of Altea who fights for his homeland and deeply values his friends. Nagi lent him her aid. | ||
- Hopeful Eternity
- Nagi, a Divine Dragon with no memories, attends the harvest festival, where Idunn imparts wisdom she has gained by reclaiming her heart and mind. They appear in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem / The Binding Blade.

Nagi is a Divine Dragon said to have once fought in Archanea, while Idunn is a Divine Dragon of the continent of Elibe. They're here together to join the harvest festival! | ||
|
Here's Nagi's special costume for the festival. That orange-and-purple ribbon sure does add a cheerful splash of color to the look! | ||
|
Meanwhile, Idunn's wearing this frilly number. Those horns are just accessories, but the wings and tails of both festivalgoers are very real! | ||
|
For Nagi, the excitement of the festival took a little getting used to at first, but now she's out having a great time trick-or-treating with Idunn! | ||
| Closely Associated Characters | |||
| Marth | Prince of Altea who fights for his homeland and deeply values his friends. Nagi lent him her aid. | ||

Trivia[]
- Marth being unable to recognize Nagi in New Mystery of the Emblem implies that he canonically never met Nagi in the events of Shadow Dragon. This lack of recognition makes sense given that Nagi is only recruitable in Shadow Dragon in the scenario where Tiki dies and Marth does not have the Falchion, which New Mystery of the Emblem actively refutes.
- This makes Nagi the only Bonus Chapter unit that was non-canon to the story of Shadow Dragon, while the other Bonus Chapter units were.
- Nagi shares her English voice actor, Colleen O'Shaughnessey, with Kronya and Monica from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
