Shakugan no Shana Wiki

Nam (ナム Namu?) was an ancient Flame Haze who participated in the war that sealed the Crimson God of Creation, the Snake of the Festival. Her title was the "Rider of Jade Crest" (玉紋の騎手 Gyokumon no Kishu?). She was referred to by Khamsin as the "Girl Who Flicks The Reins" (手綱打つ少女 Tazuna-utsu Shōjo?).

Nam was killed by Illuyanka and her Aggregate Will got caught up and trapped inside the Rift Between Both Worlds, leaving behind her body with the Flame Haze contract still intact. Her contracted Crimson Lord, "Bridle of Wilderness" continued to live by controlling her body, posing as Nam, and became the director in the Central Asian Outlaw branch known as Guyaku for another three thousands of years.

Appearance[]

Nam is described by Khamsin as a young girl.

After her death, "Bridle of Wilderness" took control of Nam's body via the Divine Vessel. Nowadays, she wore a long Mongolian robe known as a Meng Pao (蒙袍?) and clad herself with bandages from head to toe, which makes her look like a mummy. No one has ever seen her without those clothes and bandages, so no one was able to identify her true appearance or age.

Personality[]

The real Nam was described as a free-spirited young girl.[1]

Nam, who in fact was "Bridle of Wilderness", was known for her kindness toward both Flame Haze and Crimson Denizens.

Background[]

Nam was of Mongolian descent.[2] She participated in the war against the Snake of the Festival. Nam was killed by Illuyanka, but during the Flame Haze's collaborative process to banish the God of Creation, her Aggregate Will got caught up and trapped in the Rift Between Both Worlds along with the Singer Who Disperses Darkness and many others; they became one of the shadows that eternally guard the path to the God of Creation. Surprisingly, after Nam had been gone, the contact between Nam's empty body and "Bridle of Wilderness" stayed intact.

After this, "Bridle of Wilderness", who has a voice of old woman, used her nameless Divine Vessel, which took the shape of a bridle, to wrap Nam's body up and operate her like marionette. She then became the director of Guyaku an Outlaw branch in Central Asia.

Plot[]

Prior to the destruction of Guyaku, "Bridle of Wilderness" in Nam's body was seen greeting Liu Yang and treated him with a glass of Huangjiu.

Nam, or rather her body controlled by "Bridle of Wilderness", was destroyed along with human assistants in Guyaku when Sabrac attacked them. He laid a trap for Wilhelmina Carmel and the Engage Link who come to visit her, and later succeeded in mortally wounding Johann.

Trivia[]

  • Her contracted Crimson Lord, whose true name is "Bridle of Wilderness", whom Khamsin calls the "Dragon Horse that runs like wind", never speaks a word to anyone so most people don't know his/her identity or powers. It is later revealed in Shakugan no Shana no Subete Kan that it is actually her contracted Crimson Lord who was controlling and posing as Nam all along.
  • In earlier stories, the color of Nam's flame is rape yellow, but this is later changed to the color of young grass.[2]
