Nanette Berti
About
Youngest daughter of Finnian Masayoshi and Allura Berti—Nanette is one of the Princesses of Candor. She is the King and Queen’s lesser known daughter, all eyes focusing on her older sister instead. If I’m being quite blunt, this is honestly for the best at the end of the day. The people of the nation would most likely be absolutely horrified with her and her actions.
Not like she’d care either way.
Personality
Two words—chaotic evil. Nanette is the King and Queen’s ultimate problem child, and she causes these problems on purpose. In fact, she almost drove her older brother’s car into one of the castle’s fountains once. She is a girl that is clearly bored to death both easily and way too often, constantly scheming of ways to willingly cause issues in order to get a quick laugh. In a way, it gives her a heavy hit of dopamine. She’s a true blue trouble maker, starting and finishing fights while also goading people into them from the sidelines. Every action she takes is deliberate and thought out for the sake of her own amusement.
Most people label her as unnecessarily mean, and they are absolutely correct in doing so. She is sarcastic, cruel, and loves to put other people down for anything and everything. All of this is calculated on her part however. She’s seen how her childhood friends were treated by other people their age growing up. Nanette is nasty because it’s better to make people dislike you yourself rather than to see them gradually do so for no reason other than who you are related to. It’s an odd coping mechanism that she has grown way too accustomed to over time. She eventually grows out of it, but it takes her a good while.
Admittedly, most of her acting out in general is just a way to get the attention of her mother, who spends all her time focusing on Nanette’s older sister. Nanette has all the attention in the world from her father and she appreciates it, but it’s just not the same. It does kind of get to her at times, which only makes her even more heinous towards others. Shockingly, the only person she confides in regarding the situation is Brenton, who probably understands the most. Despite all of her picking on him, she lets her guard down around him the most.
Nanette isn’t completely heartless, she does have a softer side that her peers rarely see. It’s like spotting a cryptid in a way. In fact, the only reason Carson even got into Neoma Academy was because she convinced her father to enroll him there and pay for his tuition. When people actually notice and point out these self described “moments of weakness”, she gets extremely visibly and audibly embarrassed—rejecting the notion. Quite the tsundere move there, girlie.
Likes
Little Cakes
Not cupcakes, little cakes. Yes, there's absolutely a difference to her. Shut it.
Flaunting her Status
Nanette loves to annoy others, and this is the easiest way to achieve that. There's something satisfying about it.
Fire
Because it, uh...looks pretty. That's all.
Causing Problems on Purpose
Oh, the drama! It's like watching a soap opera play out in real time. How fun!
Heiwan Comics
No one can know she's a bit of a closeted nerd. Keep your mouth shut, or else.
Dislikes
Public School Kids
Especially the boys. This is due to a negative run in she had with them during Mirror Imaged.
Large Bodies of Water
She nearly drowned in a lake one summer while still kind of young, it traumatized her.
Salad
Such a nothing meal. What is she, a bunny?
Tradition
Being a Balance Dragon means keeping up those traditions. It's absolutely exhausting.
Cowardice
She cannot stand people like this. It's why Raimundo irked her a lot growing up.
Abilities
Balance Manipulation
Race related. A descendant of whats known to the masses as Divine Dragons, Nanette is a fifth generation Balance Dragon. Being a Balance Dragon means that the person is able to achieve perfect balance and harmony with themself and the fundamental forces of the realm—wielding control over them at will. What does that mean exactly? Well, Balance Dragons possess the ability to manipulate opposing forces simultaneously—darkness and light, creation and destruction, etc. They quite literally can bend reality and create illusions, making opposing forces coexist in perfect harmony, this making them compatible beyond conventional limits. Fun fact though, Nanette can’t do most of this shit! Surprise! She is a fifth generation Balance Dragon after all, so her dragon blood is heavily diluted. As a result, she can’t really do all of what some earlier generations of her family can. Instead, her powers are limited to the most basic aspect of alchemy—equivalent exchange. She can create things but cannot make something from nothing, having to give up something of equal value in exchange. To Nanette, this is lame. To her father, it’s a sigh of relief.
Dragon Form
Race related. Usually, Dragons with heavily diluted blood can no longer shift between forms like previous generations of their family. However considering the fact that Nanette is a Divine Dragon, it doesn’t apply to her. At least, for the most part. Dragons without diluted blood inherently know how to shift between their two forms right from birth with ease. For diluted Balance Dragons, it is instead an ability learned once of proper age and requires a lot of meditation and training. It is something Nanette finally learns how to do during the events of Soldier, Poet, King.
Way of the Axe
A skill learned during the events of Soldier, Poet, King. Nanette has always been fascinated by sharp weapons, eagerly watching as Fiona Kokkinos trained the kingdom guards growing up. Nanettes parents never really allowed her to dabble in this sort of thing, knowing she’d be a danger to others. The exception to this was fencing. Anyways, she learned how to use an axe from Esther Graf during her early twenties. There’s a nice weight to the weapon that she enjoys.

Trivia
- Being the nuisance that she is, Nanette had a bit of a biting problem while still pretty young. She did it less and less to people as she got older, resorting to chewing on pencils as a result. Though, she isn't above biting whenever she gets into physical fights with people.
- She's a bit of a kleptomaniac whenever she goes to the mall with her friends. The only reason she isn't straight up banned is because she's the Princess, and because she always returns what she snatched if she's caught without much of a fight. Shitty keychains aren't worth the trouble.
- Nanette's father initially assumed that her constant lashing out was due to an early case of Balance Dragon specific puberty, making her more angry in the process. Finnian was absolutely incorrect about this, his daughter is just...like that.
