Nozu

Captain of the Memory Guard (a.k.a. The Farmer)

• Nozu was a farmer on the outer edges of Bratha, where he lived a simple life of harvesting grain with his family.
• His island was attacked by Midnus on several occasions and he fought alongside his islanders to protect their home, this is where he learned to fight with his nunchucks, which he used for farming.
• But when he developed Memory Magic his parents thought it would be best if he went to Otenia where he could make a name for himself.
• He goes, and he ends up impressing Yuna with his skill and possibly even his heart. He studies under her for a time and developed quickly.
• Then, Melody arrived. She was a breath of fresh air and totally wild, the two became quick friends. He taught Melody tips and tricks that helped him, and the two pushed each other on to get better.
• Eventually they were some of Yuna's top pupils, so much so that she even took them to the burning beach.
• Nozu was off fighting and lost Melody, never seeing her again after the encounter.
• Yuna said the Melody had betrayed her and stolen something valuable from her, and her family swords were gone. Nozu took this to mean that she was pissed Melody wanted to abandon the group and because Melody stole her swords, not knowing Yuna was referring to the knowledge of White Fire.
• After Melody leaves, Nozu becomes apart of the Memory guard, and elite unit of Mages and normal soldiers who're trained to uphold the laws around Memory Magic on Otenia (and sometimes other islands if they pay).
• He becomes a well-respected individual and one of Yuna's best men, but he never really believed everything Yuna was saying.
• When the Katerina arc happens, Nozu is working under Yuna when he finds Jonah, who's washed up on the island.
• He takes Jonah to Yuna out of obligation, not realizing he was Melody's friend.
• Nozu realizes that Yuna's probably going to torture and kill Melody if she finds the traitor, so he decides to teach Jonah how to dream fight to help give Melody the best odds of survival.
• Nozu beats the lessons into Jonah, who's slow to get the lessons. Eventually, Jonah fights with Yuna or another Memory user and he still loses, not fully understanding the technique.
• When the Game for Rulers begins, Nozu stays next to Yuna's side and jets Jonah participate in the games even though he doesn't think it's the right thing to bet him like that.
• He waits for his move until the fighting starts when he helps seclude Jonah and Melody with Yuna so nobody will interrupt their fight, though he says he won't get in between the twos fight. He may provide support and help the two win the fight though.
• He may also help them escape with the Tempest Eagles.
• After the conflict with Finch is settled and everyone's escaped, Nozu and Yuna talk and try to figure out a way to defend Otenia without White Fire, which everyone knows she doesn't have now.
• They may make a deal with other islands, and they sort of re-swear allegiance to Melody saying that she'll do great things when she goes back to the mainland.
• He may come back into play for the Raid on the Capital.
