Personality: Naga is an adventurer with the ultimate goal of learning more about the world. Most of her motives and the reasons for who she is has roots in seeing her mother's murder at the hands of an assassin. Even now, she's afraid of seeing blood and would faint at the slightest glimpse of it. The death of her mother may lead her to understand that there's more to the world beyond the walls of her castle. Frightening things, certainly, but there's more beyond that and she wants to seek them out. Rather than run away from the things that she doesn't understand, Naga is prepared to confront it, partly evidenced by how her kingdom is aware of her journey and occasionally supports her by sending money. The events that began when her mother was killed sparked both new courage and fears inside Gracia as her identity transitioned to “Naga the Serpent”.

That being said, Naga often comes off as an extremely haughty, overbearing woman. Characteristic of that is the way she dresses and laughs. Her loud, noblewoman's laugh is able to send anyone near jumping out the window. Often times, she competes with others who have a similar laugh. Really, nothing that anyone can say or do can break through Naga's iron-clad self-confidence. Despite all that, while she isn't technically a noble anymore, she has no need to use her lineage to assert herself. She can still speak with other nobles or anybody else as equals without reservation. Nobility and grace, she believes, must come naturally. If they can be bought, then the average banker has more style than most other people. Just the same, she would show disdain for anybody that made no effort to show some level of guts or bravery. Her “natural nobility” is probably why she never sees the need to mention or bring up her past as a princess. It's unnecessary.

Naga, though, isn't really the poster child of sense no matter how confident she is with herself. She often pricks herself with the spikes on her pauldrons as she tried casting a spell. Naga's idea of getting Lina Inverse's attention during their first meeting was setting a fire in her room that eventually spread throughout the whole inn. … Oh, and she was on hotel's roof at the time, boasting and making her declaration of challenge against Lina without a way to come down. While not necessarily clumsy, Naga has a habit of finding herself in the worst situations simply because she didn't know any better at the time. None of that really stops her for long, though, as she would always come out from under the debris laughing again.

Speaking of her competitive streak, Naga views herself as the greatest rival to Lina. She appears often to challenge Lina, antagonizing her by taking the opposing side to whoever she is working for. Even while eating, Naga would try to steal Lina's food as a part of their eternal rivalry. Her appearances have usually been consistent until the two finally parted ways at some point. At the same time, Lina has been Naga's only traveling companion and, yes, friend throughout their journey. While they would fight against each other, they would often work together and combine their abilities despite differences.

Even still, there are points where Naga would wander off on her own afterward. Most of her meetings with Lina have actually been coincidental. As luck would have it, they simply stopped meeting in time than any other deep reason. She actually prefers that her journey be an independent one. Naga doesn't actively seek out companionship or to be in others' company evidenced by how her opposite self produced by the Shadow Reflector was noticeably clingy. Admittedly, she does have a certain fondness for Lina that allows her to enjoy whenever she's with her and those feelings probably wouldn't disappear.

They share many similar interests despite their conflicting personality including their interest for treasure. Compared to Lina, though, Naga often doesn't take as much loot considering she is already sent money through Seyruun's messengers. Going back to her reasons for traveling, she probably does this for the experience than the wealth.

Abilities: Naga is a sorceress and a surprisingly varied one at that. She is most surprisingly skilled with white magic which seems to contradict her personality. Considering that the people of Seyruun specializes in white magic, though, this probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise. For offensive purposes, Naga is adept with shamanistic magic, usually of the earth and water elements. She can also use black magic to some extent (usually golem creation, although they never come out as intended), but her talents largely belong to white and shamanistic magic. Naga also happens to carry around a large sword, but there's a good possibility that she can't use it considering her hemophobia. It's a prop.
