Nashi has brown eyes like her mother, Lucy, and long, wavy pink hair that is usually down that goes well past her shoulders. She is buxom and has a curvaceous body.

Personality
• — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •
Nashi is very prideful in her namesake and her magical prowess, but is humble at the same time. She becomes easily embarrassed when others praise her magical abilities. However, she becomes just as easily irritated when people compare her to her parents as she wishes to not live in their shadow. Unlike her mother, she is not vain about her appearance, but is aware she is attractive. She enjoys being harmlessly flirtatious, though at times, her flirting doesn't work. Aside from her interest in learning all there is about her Magic, she enjoys spending time with Ellie, Olivia, Galileo, Orochi, Mara, Justin, and Aine as well has her family. She has a close relationship to her family members. Her favorite colors are dark blue, white, pink. Nashi's temper flares easily and she is too prideful to call for help, but will if other lives are at stake. Nashi has a passion for learning the boundaries of her Magic and has a good relationship with the souls she collects.
Nashi is just a stubborn as both of her parents and, as a child, often picked fights with Igneel. Regardless that she and Gary are partners, she declares him her rival, though seems to be fond of him at times. She has a flirtatious friendship with Galileo as well. She greatly respects the elder Mages and hopes to be seen as Gary's equal one day. She happily stands in the face of danger to save her friends and family, even if she ends up getting hurt for her friends, her family and the guild. Nashi tends to run into things head-first, but will take time to strategize. Even so, she will always give her all for the sake of her friends, her family and Fairy Tail.
History

Not much is known about Nashi's childhood besides the fact that she has had rivalry with Gary since childhood as well as she found her first soul as a child. It seems she has a history with Galileo as well.
Synopsis
• — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •
The Angel, the Devil, and the Demon Arc
Nashi is first seen waking up after a vivid dream. Lucy calls her downstairs where Nashi greets younger sister Luna and asks about her younger twin brothers Igneel and Luke. She arrives at breakfast to stop Natsu and Lucy from their intimate moments in the kitchen where her parents apologize for their behavior (more so Lucy). Nashi decides to train and Lucy's Celestial Spirits Taurus and Virgo join her for training. It is then Nashi reveals her Divine Soul. She fights against Virgo and Taurus, reflecting on their advice and how she is one of the lucky few who trains with spirits. Her training is interrupted when Gary makes his entrance and is granted a one-on-one match with her, revealing his Devil. The duo make a wager. Nashi ultimately loses due to Gary and his Devil's tactics, resulting that she must accompany Gary to Hargeon. Nashi is then teased by Luna and Gary's younger brother Silver before running off and asking Silver to ask Luna about a "date" she presumably had.
« Outing at Hargeon »
Nashi and Gary make it to Hargeon where they decide to walk around. They make it to the park where Gary leaves her and Nashi meets Ronald (a.k.a "Sparky") who specializes in Firework Magic. He recognizes her as Natsu and Lucy's daughter, annoying her, and gushes over Gary who bought the two of them ice cream. He leaves them with Nashi yelling the two aren't on a date. After getting a brain freeze from eating her ice cream too fast, Nashi and Gary decide to eat at the Tremolo Market. Nashi and Gary banter as the waitress swoons over Gary. After Nashi tries to give Gary to the waitress (only for it to end in failure), she runs to the bathroom to get away from Gary's flirting. She sneezes when Gary talks about her. She returns and voices her distaste for dogs being non-loyal creatures and attempts to hit Gary only for it to result in another failure. She tries to cover the bill, but Gary manages it instead, though it becomes paid for. Nashi voices her worry of Gary becoming poor for spending money on her, though quickly denies her worry for him and smacks him for being a pervert.
When an explosion goes off at the bank, Nashi and Gary flee to the scene, though Nashi questions Gary's every move. Gary tasks her to stay and help the injured. Nashi transforms and finds Ronaldo who helps her carry out everyone else while Gary tracks down the culprits. Ronaldo thanks Nashi who graciously brushes it off when Gary returns. Nashi notices he's troubled and presses it, but doesn't get the answers she's looking for and falls asleep on the train ride home. Gary takes Nashi home.
« A New Mission »
Within the next few days, Nashi notices Gary is a little off. She's worried about him, when she gets teased by Julia Fullbuser, Gary's younger sister. As Gary leaves with Erza requesting him, Nashi berates herself over worrying about her rival. Aine gives her advice that Nashi brushes off. Gary returns and offers her to be his companion on his S-Class Mission. Nashi quickly draws doubt as she accuses him of pulling rank on her, but Gary assures her that is not the case. Nashi asks Lucy for permission who promises to keep it from a protective Natsu in exchange for stopping and incoming fight between Gale Redfox and Igneel and, eventually, Cane Alberona-Groh. Nashi fails to stop the fight as Gale storms away and Luna angrily leaves with Luke. Nashi tries to scold Igneel, but after Igneel reveals his regrets with not spending time with Luna, Nashi realizes she has been ignoring her sister. She seeks Gary for advice and he suggests they take a trip together in which Nashi considers. The two board the train in which Nashi grows more concerned and more annoyed with Gary's distance.
The two arrive in Muru Town in which Nashi holds Gary's hand, afraid, even if she denies it. The two find the requesters who expected them and knew of Nashi's mother Lucy. Nashi and Gary learn about the disappearances of children in Muru Town and agree to help, though Nashi is teased by Pierre and Marie Neville of her relationship with Gary. As Nashi and Gary formulate a plan, they go to dinner to learn more about the Dunters who have been stealing kids and the night ends with teasing Nashi. Later, Nashi returns from changing and worries over Gary who has been plotting. She offers him a spot on the bed with her. The plan is revealed that Nashi will be a decoy as Luna, invoking Gary's fear he may lose her. Nashi goes through with the plan and is stolen.
« Grandmother's House »
Nashi awakens, dazed and confused, until she realizes she has successfully made it in. A girl named Aisha comes to feed her and clothe her, though Nashi must purify her food and is embarrassed of her dress. She meets the hundreds of children stolen and realizes they come from all over Fiore. She uses her Magic to make sure the mysterious "Grandmother" doesn't notice her and is assigned as a maid with a revealing uniform. Aisha gives her the tour and brings her to a kitchen where Nashi meets twins Milo and Meelo and their caretaker Jay who she finds suspicious. On her tour with Aisha, Nashi ditches her to scope out the castle. She ends up having to hide from guards when she discovers Grandmother's true plan with the kids. She is found out and is sent to prison where she finds Gary.
Nashi and Gary bicker, irate over their capture, when they divulge what they know to each other and have a plan to find Jay and Aisha. Gary breaks them out and Nashi leads them down the castle. They are nearly discovered when Nashi is forced to transform back to Luna and separate from Gary. She finds a group of kids who decide to guide her back. She meets up with Jay who takes her back to his room with her Transformation Spell washing off her. Jay tells Nashi his backstory of hiding his true age. Gary arrives mysteriously with Aisha and Nashi uses her Magic to break Aisha's curse and find her true origin. With Jay and Aisha on Gary and Nashi's team, they learn that "Grandmother" is hosting a family dinner. Nashi and Gary interrupt the family dinner, but it backfires as "Grandmother" reveals herself as Orias and is able to draw out Gary's Devil and have him submit to her will. While Orias steals Gary, Nashi is left to defend herself from brainwashed children with weapons intended to kill her. Nashi carefully keeps the children at bay, but learns her Sword of Truth and reverse the Curse placed on them. She cures children before running into Jean on accident. Through him, she comes up with using her Heavenly Hymn to reverse the Curse on all the kids. Successfully, Nashi goes out to meet Jay and Aisha when she is surprised.
« The Soul of Justice »
Nashi, Jay and Aisha are taken to the tree where Orias tries to rip Gary from his Devil. Nashi, however, is brought into the fray and tortured when Gary promises Orias may have him in exchange for Nashi's freedom. Nashi wakes up to see Gary being tortured and wants to save him. She encounters Divine Soul: Seraphim and accepts him into her soul. Nashi fights Orias in her new soul armor and manages to defeat her, only for Orias tell Nashi riddles that leave Nashi confused. Orias and her warriors disintegrate, leaving Nashi and her friends and the kids. Nashi returns to them to heal Gary partially and open portals to their home cities using her Heavenly Hymn. She leaves Gary to get the kids and bring them home. Later, it is revealed Nashi and Gary succeeded with Aisha and Jay going home last, though they all promise to meet again. Nashi and Gary make it to their train where Gary provokes Nashi's annoyance at his belief he failed her as she got hurt. They make up and Nashi offers gratitude to Gary's Devil for his years of protecting her.
Arborea Summit Arc
Nashi is training in the field with Igneel and Lucy when her training is interrupted because of Mystogan Fernandes, Gary, and Lance Dreyar's arrival. Later, it is revealed she went to Dragon Pond to relax and reads an interview on Lance which disturbs her. She is confronted by Gary to come with him on the journey to Arborea Summit, but refuses him initially. However, she is dragged to the train station by him. As she attempts to leave, Gary hauls her on his shoulder and forces her onto the train, disregarding her insults and embarrassment. Nashi and Gary sit next to Gale and Luna in which Nashi grows annoyed Gary hardly listens to her opinions. Gary offers Nashi apologies and a free vacation in which Nashi contemplates it.
« Arrival at Asagao »
After Luna wakes up, Nashi and the team have made it to the trail leading to Asagao, the town closest to the Arborea Summit. Mystogan splits them up and has Nashi fall back to make sure they aren't attacked. Eventually, they all gather to realize the darkness is coming from the Summit and head up. Nashi is ill-prepared for the cold climate, but convinces Gary to use his resistance on her. They make it to a cave entrance and split into teams with Nashi going with Lance, though each gets dragged down by hands of darkness and into separate tunnels. Nashi wakes up to Lance who reveals he fought to save her and he calms her down when she becomes anxious of Luna's location. The two get to walking in the tunnels when Nashi questions about Lance's life, questioning his decision to keep his relationship with Aine a secret. The two are then surrounded by familiars, but Lance easily takes them out. While Nashi feels like she'll never catch up to Lance, Lance assures her with effort and time, she will.
Eventually, Nashi scares Lance with her talks of ghosts only for the two of them to be scared of Gale who crashes into their tunnel. Along the way, Nashi and Lance bicker as they play childish games, though Lance uses it as a ploy to distract Nashi from fretting over her sister. Gary and Luna drop in on them (literally) and Nashi punches Gary for making her concerned over him as well as scolds Luna for worrying her. The group uses a tired Luna to find Mystogan, though Nashi is surprised at Luna's newfound ability.
« Battle of the Summit »
The group interrupts Mystogan's fight with fake-Jellal (Karun) by dropping in on it. They declare they won't allow the fake-Jellal to win when Zagan steps in, declaring he shall be the one to end their lives. Zagan triggers Nashi's memories of Orias, though Luna is able to calm her down. Nashi declares they will beat Zagan, though, while Luna is kidnapped and Gale follows her, Nashi and the others are confronted with shadow versions of their siblings. Nashi is severely beaten by Luna and is reminded of how lonely she was. Nashi promptly passes out.
When Nashi awakens, she is healed from her poisoning, though frets over Luna. The group comes to a decision to find an exit and, when they do, they see a white ball of light in the sky. Nashi refuses to leave as she knows it is Luna in there. As Luna falls from the sky, Nashi is desperate to save her sister, but Gary calms her and flies them both down to meet her. Nashi runs to hug her sister and thank Gale, relieved they are safe. She and the others climb back up the mountain to free the villagers where she is thanked by them. She helps the villagers' journey down and watches as they celebrate their return to their home.
Nashi and the others are about to leave when Chief Masayoshi of Asagao stops them in order for them to stay for an honorary feast. They push Mystogan into getting to know the chief's daughter (Addison) and she gives Luna encouragement on getting to know the chief's son (Spike). After the feast is over with and they come home, Nashi, Lance, and Gary are left to tease Mystogan about him and Addison.
« True Heritage »
Later in time, Nashi joins her family for breakfast when she sees Lucy is troubled and relays this to Luke. She and her siblings listen to Natsu and Lucy tell the story of dragons and the black mage and bare-footed girl. Nashi pieces together than Natsu is a demon and one over 400 years old meaning she is part demon. Unable to cope with the information, Nashi flees the house. She staggers through the streets as she goes through internal strife, trying to separate herself from Orias and convince herself she is human. She ends up talking to a figment of her imagination that looks similar to herself and becomes overwhelmed. She runs away when Gary helps calm her, though she promptly passes out.
Nashi has a dream over northern lights, but wakes up to being in Gary's apartment. She overhears him on the phone when he declares he has dinner for her, one of her favorite meals. Nashi still struggles to accept what happened and what she learns, shutting out Gary when he pleas for her to get help. Gary is about confess, but Nashi stops him from finishing. Nashi accepts Gary's offer to stay at his house, though grows irate at his suggestion of kissing him in exchange for a place of peace. Eventually, she kicks him out of his house (literally).
Later, as Gary leaves, Nashi grows a little annoyed she cannot join him for the meeting at Fairy Tail. She denies her attraction to Gary, opting to say he is the one who wants her. Gary, then, teases Nashi, causing her to keep up her denial even though she feels affected. After Gary relinquishes her and makes sure she's okay, he leaves her to curse his name.
The Harvest Festival Arc
Nashi is first seen in Fairy Tail and helping set up for the Harvest Festival. She is next seen coming to get Luna from a café where the Redfox siblings have gathered to catch up. Nashi tells Luna of their mother's insistence of her return when Nashi greets Galileo and Olivia and enters flirtatious banter with Galileo. In the end, Nashi decides to hold off going home to spend time with Galileo, though objects to being thrown over his shoulder.
Nashi comes home to gather supplies from the bathroom while Luna takes her shower. She notices something is wrong with Luna, but lets go of the topic when it seems Luna is lying. At the restaurant (Sunfish Grill), Nashi is sitting beside Gary who flirts with her. Nashi must use Olivia for help when Galileo reveals there could be something more between them and Natsu becomes suspicious.
Nashi fights alongside Fairy Tail against the men who raid the restaurant after Luna is confronted. Later, after the fight is finished, Nashi is seen with minimal scratches and hugs Luna, relieved of her safety.
« Time of Harvest »
The next morning, Nashi wakes up in Gary's shirt and reveals she slept in the same bed as him. She promptly punches him after he groped her and she accidentally touches him in the wrong area. Nashi continues to think about her morning as she and Luna help set up the fairgrounds later and reveal Nashi tried to leave Gary's place only for Gary to sway her with promises of a shower and coffee, though he teased her. At Luna's curiosity, Nashi lies and says she slept at the Redfox residence.
Nashi is tackled into a hug by Aisha and introduces Aisha and Jay to Luna, noticing the three hit it off. She suggests Luna and Jay hang out rather than date for the sake of Natsu's mind before she takes Aisha to roam the festival. They eventually run into Wendy in which she decides to take Aisha to show her around. Gary joins Nashi and Nashi reluctantly agrees to walking the festival with him, although rejects him from holding her hand. Nashi goes through her inner turmoil as she reminds herself of her dislike of most men, resulting in her crying. Gary brings her into an alley and allows her to cry in her arms.
Later, Luna reveals Nashi reserved her and Jay and Aisha seats up from of the Miss Fairy Tail Contest to avoid sitting with their family. Nashi uses her Divine Souls as she participates in the contest. It is revealed Lucy won, though Nashi's family cheered Nashi up, impressed with her. Gary comes to give Nashi her favorite flowers, though Nashi reacts distantly, leaving Gary confused and worried. Nashi witnesses Jay's introduction to the family and watches as he faints before Natsu.
Laxus, soon after, announces the Battle of Fairy Tail in which Nashi is participating and challenges her brothers.
« Fighting Festival »
Nashi is seen in the streets of Magnolia looking at the screen as Laxus as he starts the battle. She wanders the streets when she encounters Gary. She and Gary engage in combat, though Nashi demands he stop his flirting and take her seriously. Nashi reacts to Gary's change of mood in shock, though denies him when he states she has no resolve. She insists she would like to see her family smile, especially Luna. She and Gary lock in combat, but she accuses him of only messing about still. Gary admits he cannot fight her for she is of high importance to him and his Devil and decides to forfeit the match, leaving Nashi to continue on. She runs off to her next opponent, nearly believing Gary's confession.
Magic and Abilities
• — • — • — • — • — • — • — • — •
Take-Over: Divine Soul
Nashi is an amateur user of Take Over, a type of Magic, which, as the name suggests, allows her to take over the powers and appearances of creatures she really "knows". As a requirement, she must absorb the soul of a Divine Being to use their powers. The form she employs shares the name of her signature spell Seraphim Soul. Mira prophesizes Nashi's Divine Soul will have the opposite effect of her Satan Soul. Nashi will be able to control and take over angelic beings as well as bring life to injured or dying creatures.
Angel Superiority
Due to the nature of Nashi's Take Over, she theoretically can control anything of angel or Heavenly property and manipulate them to do her bidding.
Divine Soul
Divine Soul is a powerful spell, as well as the source of her epithet "The Angel". Divine Soul allows her to take over the appearance, abilities and powers of a divine or heavenly being. Divine Soul is initiated by seemingly covering Nashi's body in a glowing white dress that poofs out at the waist and pink petticoat and dark violet undercoat. Thigh-high pink high-heel boots are on her feet. On her hands are delicate white gloves with a pink gem on the palm of her left hand and a red gem on the palm of her right hand, representing her parents. Surrounding her are two Holy Rings with inscribed Ancient Language about Heaven and Hell. Surrounding that are seven crystals that represent the seven archangels, going from red to gold to orange to green to blue to violet, or the main colors of the rainbow. Each crystal gives Nashi the power of that archangel. There is a star gem on Nashi's cleavage in representation of Mother Mary.
Mantra:
"Tis I who calls upon angel Cael! I ask of him to lend me his wings and his power of the Heavens to protect me from the evils untold. So, may it be, I ask of thee! Go! Divine Soul!"
o Heavenly Hymn: Summons a harp that strums a song. Each song has a different effect depending on the situation.
o God's Hammer: Summons a hammer with the crest of Archangel Uriel. Hammer collects energy from nearby sources before striking the opponent.
o Freedom Arrow: Summons a large bow and an arrow of light that will always hit the target.
o Sword of Truth: Summons a sword with the crest of Archangel Zadkiel.
o Healing Magic: Nashi can utilize Healing Magic while in Divine Soul.
— Healing Sand: Summons a teapot that pours out sand that heals all and any mortal wounds no matter how fatal and can give a slight energy boost, leaving no scar tissue. However, the Healing Sand cannot heal broken bones. How well the sand works also depends on what condition Nashi is in at the time.
Divine Soul: Seraphim
A Divine Soul forms that allow the user to take over the appearance, abilities and powers of Heavenly Counselor Seraphim. While using this spell, Nashi attains six wings that blaze with fire. Her face is covered in armor with the cross on the front. She gains light armor impervious to all attacks rather than donning regular clothes. The armor is silver and blue with inscriptions in ancient text that light up when she is using magic. On her cleavage is a golden gem called the Seraph Gem.
o Seven Stars: Nashi fires seven super-heated spheres of sacred light at the opponent.
o Fire Magic
— Fate's Hands: strikes opponent with fists of shining gold flames.
o Swords of Justice: produces swords Urim and Thurimm, both with crests of light and perfection in Ancient Language on themselves respectively.
o Flight Magic
Nashi can conjure six wings on her body to fly with.
Transformation Magic
As a Take-Over Mage, Nashi has extensive abilities in Transformation Magic. She is an advanced user who can mimic the voice of whoever she transforms into.
Enhanced Endurance
Nashi has extreme Magic and physical endurance.
Enhanced Reflexes
Nashi's impulses gave her quick reflexes.
Enhanced Durability
Nashi has shown to be quite resilient. She survived Lady Orias' torment.
