history

Nana (ナナ), also known as Number 7, is one of the main female characters in Elfen Lied. Nana is a very young Diclonius who has lived since birth in Kakuzawa's laboratories, where she is subjected to torture-like strength training. Unlike the others of her species, Nana does not have a sadistic character, but is peaceful and tender, especially due to the affectionate treatment she receives from Director Kurama, who even goes so far as to tell her that he is her father. In this way, Nana has a special affection for him and feels totally dependent on him. Nana is used to locate Lucy, since the Diclonius have the ability to detect each other. Unfortunately for Nana, what she finds causes her moral problems.

biography

Past Nana's past is unknown, only that she was quarantined as soon as she was born, and that during her stay in the laboratories, she was subjected to cruel and inhuman experiments, freezing cold showers and severe punishments and abuse by the scientists. However, and against all logic, Nana never harbored ill will and endured all the mistreatment given to her. At some point, the scientists assigned Director Kurama to her as her father. Nana then developed a relationship of deep love and dependence on Kurama to the point of believing him to be her real father and this gave her the strength to tolerate the horrible experiments without losing her sanity.

Personality

Nana had an unusual personality for a Diclonius, she had no desire to kill or hurt anyone to a certain extent (as seen in the confrontation with the bando who provoked her). Her personality seems to be at odds with the standard belief that all a Diclonius did was kill. The bond between her and Director Kurama made it possible for Nana to endure the hardships and depredations of life as a test subject at the Diclonius Research Institute, turning Nana into a kind, sweet, and compassionate person, understanding other people's pain, though it left her very naive. Sometimes, Nana enters a state of rage and fury, so great that she could actually kill someone. In this state, her personality is more like the other Diclonius, such as Kaede and Mariko. She only enters this state, in extreme cases, such as when someone threatens her dad or her friends, especially Mayu.
