What's a Fanlisting?
A fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor/actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject. (def. from thefanlistings.org)
Who is Nami?
Nami is one of the main characters from the anime/manga series "One Piece". She is the navigator for the Straw Hat Pirate Crew, and a skilled (and greedy) thief who loves treasure and oranges. She fights with a bo staff that disassembles into three pieces that she can strap under her skirt. She is a cheapskate with other people, although she will gladly spend her hard earned stolen money on clothes and other trinkets for herself. At first, she refused to join Luffy because he was a pirate; she thinks she's only using him to get treasure and a map of the mysterious Grand Line. However, she slowly comes to realize that Luffy is a different kind of pirate, and she begins to care about her new companions. Unfortunately, her tortured past won't let her escape that easily, and her new friends must fight a decisive battle to save her from her enemies.
I couldn't really tell you why I love Nami so much. She's been my favorite character since I first laid eyes on her, and my love for her only grows with each new adventure the Luffy Pirates set out on. I've always been a sucker for pirate characters and thief characters, and here's one who's both. Although she's not the best fighter, she can usually hold her own (or is smart enough to hide or sneak away before things get really bad). She's a lot better once Usopp creates her Clima-Tact weapon, which is capable of affecting the air around her to cause various weather conditions. She can then use the weather conditions as elemental attacks against her opponents. Even if she doesn't fight, her quick thinking usually helps get the other crew members out of tough jams. She's easily the smartest of the crew, at least until Robin comes along; she definitely has the most sailing knowledge, and is really the only one capable of navigating and predicting the bizarre currents and weather patterns of the Grand Line. She also fills in as the ship's cook and doctor before Sanji and Chopper join up.
About this layout
I created this layout on July 2nd, 2004, in honor of Nami's birthday. It features a scan of a file folder I own, with a very sexy picture of Nami. I imagine Sanji approves. ;) I blended several smaller screenshots in order to come up with a montage of Nami's many faces and moods. (Screenshots from DevilFruit.com.) I also added a few lines of lyrics from "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks, which I think is a very fitting song for Nami.
