She agonized over the purpose of her existence, which is an uncommon trait when compared to others. She is polite and respectful, but can sometimes be stubborn and angry with those with whom she strongly disagrees.

Under the guidance of Hei Kamugaseki, her Squad Leader, she develops into a full-fledged member with a strong sense of justice, even to a fault. In present time, she has retained her kindness and patience, but is more cool-headed and rational. She also acts as a sort of older sister figure to Issei Hyoudou, even adopting him into her family.

Equipment Edit
COMP: A device installed with the Demon Summoning Program. It remains attached to Namie's right arm, proof that she is both a Demon Tamer, and a member of the Counter Demon Force. The COMP possesses a number of useful applications, ranging from summoning demons to fusing them.

minister named MIDO, demons can be fused in a variety of ways in order to create new demons. It also allows users to summon demons by paying Macca, the demon currency, with the use of the Compendium, which will summon any demons the user will have acquired in the past, as all demons are made of Magnetite and data.

Demon Tamers who have obtained this application can forge a contract with demons by defeating those that are summoned with it.

All members of the Counter-Demon Force, and numerous other Demon Tamers, use this for their own purposes.

Firearm: Like a few other members of the Counter-Demon Force, Namie specializes in guns, such as handguns, rifles, or shotguns, though she prefers the blade over the gun.
