Neytiri is the deuteragonist and lead heroine of James Cameron's Avatar franchise. She is the daughter of the leader of the Omaticaya (the Na'vi clan central to the story). She is attracted to Jake because of his bravery, though frustrated with him for what she sees as his naiveté and stupidity. She serves as both the film's Na'vi protagonist and Jake Sully's love interest. The character, like all the Na'vi, was created using performance capture, and her visual aspect is entirely computer generated.
When Neytiri was 18-years-old in 2154, she met Jake Sully in the Pandoran forest, rescuing him from a pack of viperwolves. Neytiri became his teacher in the ways of the Na'vi. Despite her prior engagement to Tsu'tey, Jake and Neytiri fall in love and consummated their relationship beneath the Tree of Voices. During the First Pandoran War, Neytiri fought alongside Jake in the Battle of Ayram Alusìng against the Resources Development Administration. She saved him from death by killing Miles Quaritch with her bow.
Neytiri became the mother of three biological children: Neteyam, Lo'ak and Tuktirey, as well as the adoptive mother of Kiri. When she is around 34-years-old in 2170, during the Second Pandoran War, Neytiri and her family became refugees when they are forced to flee to the Metkayina clan. During this time, Neytiri and Jake both struggle to adapt to the new environment.
She is portrayed by Zoë Saldaña.
Personality[]
Initially, Neytiri was hostile towards Jake and humans in general (save for Grace Augustine, who the Na'vi are on friendly terms with and are taught English by) because of the damage caused by the RDA to her home and people, but after getting to know Jake better, she begins to warm up to them. Despite this, she still hates the humans from the RDA who were involved in destroying the Na'vi's Hometree, such as Colonel Miles Quaritch. She cares for the wildlife of Pandora deeply, as shown when she gets angry at Jake for having had to kill a pack of viperwolves to save his life. She is also brave, as she gets involved in the Na'vi's fight against the RDA without any signs of fear, refuses to retreat when surrounded by soldiers despite Jake's order to do so, and hisses threateningly at Colonel Quaritch while he has her captive.
