Personality[]
Nanoha is a friendly and outgoing hard-worker, but there are times that she becomes spacey.[3]
Biography[]
Nanoha is a 4th grade elementary school student from Private Kaisei Elementary School, Uminari City. Although not good at sports, she knows a bit about kendo as her brother and sister are interested in and practising it.[3]
In INNOCENT (ch.1), along her classmates Suzuka Tsukimura and Arisa Bunnings, she becomes a Duelist at Hobby Shop T&H.
Brave Duel Powers[]
Nanoha wielding Raising Heart in her Sacred type avatar
Nanoha names her Device, originally coded RH-01, as Raising Heart. Unlike Suzuka and Arisa, her personal card does not specialise in any elemental attributes, but Raising Heart comments that she has the talent of "flying in the sky."[1]
Avatar[]
Nanoha's primary avatar is Sacred type, which is superior at defense and mobility.[3] Although not customised, the white color version of Sacred type is considered to be super rare, as commented by Vita[1] and Hayate.
In INNOCENT (ch.13), by rerising up with a Rank R card of Fate Testarossa, Nanoha performs a Rerise Unison that turns her Sacred type avatar into the Excia Black (エクシアブラック Ekushia Burakku) version,[4] which boosts speed and specialises in lightning-based skills.
