(Nausicaä (ナウシカ, Naushika))
The main character. Princess of the Valley of the Wind. A brave, caring person, she has a special connection with animals. From a young age she explores the ecosystem of her world and as a result considers it folly to fight the Sea of Corruption. Because of her exploration of its flora and fauna and her scientific experiments with the samples she brings back to her laboratory, she comes to the conclusion that the ecosystem of their world is misunderstood by most of the people who inhabit it. Sees war as pointless, but accepts the responsibilities she has towards her people and their allies, responsibilities that increase as her father's condition deteriorates. Her ultimate responsibility is towards the world as a whole and her actions transcend the narrow scope of tribal politics and warfare in which she becomes embroiled. Throughout most of the story she is portrayed as a sixteen-year-old girl but there are flashbacks to her earlier childhood.
