Revision 1

Overview

Nanafey is the face of Honkai: Nexus Anima and one of the first characters the player meets. She lives in Iia, the seaside town where the game begins, and kindly lets the protagonist stay in her home while they get started as an Animaster. She has long blue hair and a personality that the developers describe as the personification of purity and innocence.

She appears prominently in promotional materials, key art, and the game's official trailers. Her design leans into the warm, approachable aesthetic that HoYoverse is going for with this title — friendly rather than dramatic, casual rather than intense.

Role in the story

Nanafey is described as "the pride and joy of Iia." The player arrives in the town as a newcomer with aspirations of becoming an Animaster, and Nanafey acts as an early guide and host. Through her, the player learns about Nexus Battles, the local Arena system, and the basics of interacting with Anima companions.

Beyond the initial introduction, specific story details about Nanafey's involvement in the larger narrative — including her connection to the Planes, the Novarchs, and the mystery of the Sundering — have not been revealed.

Design

Nanafey's visual design features long blue hair, bright eyes, and clothing that fits the relaxed seaside vibe of Iia. Her color palette is cool blues and whites. She appears in most of the game's promotional imagery alongside Anima companions, reinforcing the theme of human-Anima bonds.
