"Supra-Force Metal... No matter how precious it may be... It can't be worth all this conflict and bloodshed! We must stop the Rebellion, X!"

―Nana, Mega Man X: Command Mission

Nana (ナナ, Nana) is a character in Mega Man X: Command Mission. Like Alia, she serves as a Navigator in the game, assisting the Resistance faction of Giga City with her abilities as a Navigator, organizer, and computer specialist against the intentions of Epsilon's Rebellion Army.

Appearance

Nana is a female Reploid with a fair complexion, blue eyes, and medium-length pink hair with a white fringe. Her armor is mostly a light beige with orange accents on the chest, leg, and arm areas, and has a belt that is in the shape of a horseshoe. Following her namesake, her chestplate features two sevens in peach letters. As with most navigator Reploids, she has a headset and an antenna on one of the red pieces on her head.

Personality

Nana is a rather dutiful and quiet girl, speaking in a reserved and polite manner. She is saddened by violence and takes her work very seriously, doing all she can to help the Resistance stop the Rebellion and restore peace in Giga City. It can be speculated that her reserved character is a result of her abduction by Silver Horn, who tortured his prisoners.

Story

Mega Man X: Command Mission

When the Rebellion attacked the Central Tower area of Giga City, Nana was abducted by Epsilon's followers. She was brought to a POW camp, led by the cruel Silver Horn to serve as an operator of the facility, while a hostage herself. She was confined to a computer chair from which she was forced to regulate and watch the installation. Upon Chief R's request, X and Spider infiltrated the camp and (with the help of Steel Massimo) freed Nana. She had nearly been crushed by Silver Horn as punishment for her role in getting the Maverick Hunters inside, although he was ultimately defeated by X, Spider, and the new Steel Massimo. She was then brought back to the main isle of Giga City, taking up the duty of navigation. She was responsible for the operation of the teleportation to different mission locations, as well as maintaining contact with Colonel Redips, X's superior officer during the Giga City affair.

Upon the destruction of Epsilon by the hands of X, Zero and Axl, assisted by Marino, Massimo and Cinnamon and the preservation of the Supra Force Metal, Nana was sad about the Hunters' departure, fearing she might never see them again. She was with them when their pickup arrived which turned out to be an ambush of Redips' followers, who had been planning of using Epsilon as a scapegoat to get his hands on the Supra Force Metal all along. During the ambush, Chief R was killed and the group scattered. Nana wasn't seen again until the end of the game, sitting somewhere outside Giga City, waiting to hear from her friends when she saw the explosion of the Supra Force Metal ore in space.

Other appearances

• Nana would have appeared in the cancelled game Rockman Online.
• Nana appeared as a Unit Card in TEPPEN.

Mega Man X DiVE

Nana appears as a playable Hunter Program in Mega Man X DiVE. Her first Active Skills is Long Distance Strike, which is an Ultra Blizzard attack by default but can be swapped for Ultra Fire or Ultra Thunder using chips. Her second Active Skills is Precise Analysis, which scans an enemy with the Analysis menu option before dealing damage a short time later.

Trivia

• "Nana" is Japanese for the word seven, hence the 77 on her chest plate serves as a pun to her name.
  • Seven is also considered a lucky number, hence she also wears a horseshoe-shaped belt, which is said to bring good luck.
• In Mega Man X6, an Injured Reploid in Inami Temple is also named Nana.
• One of Nana's earlier designs, as seen in concept artwork, bears a resemblance to the pink-haired navigator from The Day of Σ. Yet another of her earlier designs resembles, and may have inspired, the design of Cinnamon, having wing-like hair and armor resembling a nurse's outfit.
• A character in Mega Man ZX Advent named Nana can be found in Hunter Camp, filling a similar role to a navigator by explaining Warp Points. Her design (a ponytail with round glasses) even resembles one of Nana's concept art designs.
• Nana was originally planned to be the main navigator of Mega Man X DiVE. However, it was decided that an original navigator should play this role, resulting in the creation of RiCO.
• In the Japanese version of Mega Man X: Command Mission, Nana is voiced by Akemi Kanda who would later voiced Ice Man in Rockman Rockman and provided the voice of Aero for the cancelled game Rockman DASH 3.
