Nayeli is a young prodigy known as the greatest living healer in Alemi. She is currently the Surgeon General of the Alnaharan ERT, and oversees medical training for the Alemian Union. She has revolutionized the medical field with research on scar tissue and reconstructive surgery. Nayeli was born during Dunia’s tumultuous reconstruction era, where she was orphaned at a young age in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake. Nayeli was captured and forced to work as a nurse for the Toy Soldiers, a militia of high-powered Sartori youth forced to work as child soldiers. She escaped the Toy Soldiers and later helped form the Alnaharan ERT. Nayeli is witty, warm, charming, commanding, and fiercely loyal. Nayeli is married to Calliope Akintola.
While concepts of gender and sexuality in Alemi do not neatly translate to identity labels in English, Nayeli would likely identify as a transgender femme lesbian. In English, Nayeli would use she/her pronouns and feminine terms like sister, wife, and mother. In-universe, Nayeli uses a combination of status based neopronouns. Nayeli uses the status pronouns famavi and famaye, combinations of the feminine "she" gender pronoun fama and the status pronouns vi (military status) and ye (liquid water, teacher) Nayeli uses the personal gender pronoun fama (fah-MAH), the feminine “she” pronoun in Alemi.
