Due to the unusual nature of her birth, Naminé was born without memories. As a result, she had no basis of free will, and simply followed the orders of whoever was close to her, effectively making her very submissive, quiet, and fragile in personality. During her time in Castle Oblivion, Naminé begins exhibiting the capacity for emotions. In fact, she later reveals that she used her powers to draw Sora to Castle Oblivion and manipulate his memories due to loneliness because she was isolated for so long. Upon realizing her misdeeds, Naminé becomes guilt-ridden and eventually rebels against her captors to help Sora and his friends. She displays genuine remorse for what she has done to Sora and co., and willingly puts herself in harm’s way to protect Sora from Larxene. Her determination and desire to take responsibility for her actions also led her to defy Marluxia’s orders to destroy Sora’s heart, despite being threatened by the former.
