A Napaea is shown to be close to Nozomi and makes multiple appearances throughout the game.
She first appears before Nanashi and Asahi disguised as Nozomi, having stolen the hunter's smartphone to send out a request to stop a fight. Upon meeting at Ameyoko Way, she struggles to keep up her disguise whilst explaining the details of her request, rousing suspicion from the two kids. But they decide to help her out, allowing Napaea to take them to Ueno's terminal to transport them to Yoyogi's terminal, giving Nanashi Nozomi's smartphone in the process. Upon arriving and heading over to the nearby Fairy Forest, the real Nozomi finds them, allowing Napaea to shed her disguise and reveal herself as a fairy. Nozomi scolds Napaea for stealing her phone once Nanashi returns it, but relents when Napaea insists she did so to find help. Napaea then runs off to the roots of the cherry blossom tree after Nozomi thanks her.
When the Divine Powers raze the Fairy Forest in search of Ame-no-Habakiri, known as Excalibur to the fairies, Napaea runs into the party at the Central Gate. She informs them that the rest of the fairies have been scattered around the forest due to the attacks, causing Nozomi to part with the group to protect the fairies that are still present.
She later calls Nanashi back to the Fairy Forest in the Challenge Quest "u have a guest!!!" at the request of Take-Mikazuchi. She does not understand his intentions or speech, unsure on what he means by being an Amatsu-kami. She feels further threatened by him when he explains that the Fairy Forest was previously the home of the Amatsu, though he continues to ignore her. Once Take-Mikazuchi completes the process of creating Ame-no-Murakamo from Ame-no-habakiri's remains, she notes that the new sword is stronger.
Once Nanashi and his party gain full access to the Hunter's HQ in Kasumigaseki, Napaea can be found attending the weapon shop on floor B2F, appearing happy and content.[1] Nozomi wonders why she is there, but leaves her be as long as she stays out of trouble.[2] Before the party leaves the shop, she passes off a rumor about an item called a Goddess Feather that could be used to make powerful equipment and asks Nanashi to give it to her if he finds it. If he decides to give her the Goddess Feather, she uses it to create the Garment of Hope armor set and makes it available for purchase in her shop.
