Nausicaä

Nausicaä's History

Nausicaä moved to the Valley of the Wind with her family when she was very young. Her mother had died around that time as well. For her 13th birthday, her father had gifted her a Mehve.

Nausicaä and an Ohmu

Nausicaä is a colourblind Princess. She has a close relationship with her father King Jhil and tries to help him as his health declines due to the Valley's proximity to the Sea of Corruption.

Eventually, Nausicaä starts training to fly her Mehve, which she becomes very good at. She also spends a lot of time in the Sea of Corruption and experiments with its plants to find out why Jhil's health is suffering. As part of this, she secretly grows forest plants in uncorrupted soil, discovering that it is not deadly.

Arrival of the Torumekians

On one of her expeditions into the Rotwood, Nausicaä discoveres the shell of an Ohmu. These are very valuable as building material as they are extremely hard and durable. After retrieving the eye-shell, she feels the anger of the forest creatures and hears a gunshot in the distance. When she investigates, she finds Lord Yupa being chased by several forest creatures, including the Ohmu that had shed its shell, but she manages to calm the Ohmu with flash grenades and an insect charm. Nausicaä then leads Yupa to the valley, where he reports on the situation in the world abroad.

Nausicaä goes on patrol with the Valley Gunship, newly refitted with the Ohmu eye-piece, but once again feels the forest's anger. This time it is a brig from Pejite. The brig crash-lands, killing everyone except for princess Rastel. Rastel gives Nausicaä a stone before she dies, though Nausicaä is not aware of the stone's significance. She warns Nausicaä that Torumekia invaded Pejitei, even though they are formally allied, and that the Torumekians want the stone.

Shortly after Nausicaä and the Valley's inhabitants have time to ponder the meaning of Rastel's arrival, Kushana and her Torumekian soldiers arrive. Kushana asks for the stone, but Nausicaä wants her to leave the valley and Kushana eventually relents. Nausicaä is forced to burn part of their fields, as the Torumekians contaminated it by bringing miasma
