Nashi is an orphaned Nezumi from Kamigawa. He was adopted by the planeswalker Tamiyo after his village was destroyed, and now resides in Otawara.[1]
Description
Nashi is a young Nezumi artificer with bright white fur and gray spots. He wears a black leather jacket with sharp cuts and silver rings along the edge of his ear.[2]
History
The planeswalker Tezzeret and the Infinite Consortium had come to Kamigawa to acquire magical artifacts from the swamp near Nashi's village. But when the nezumi refused to sell their land, Tezzeret retaliated and set fire to the village inhabited by the Nezumi-Katsuro gang.[3] Nashi's parents died in the process and he was left heavily scarred by the fire elemental controlled by Tezzeret's second-in-command Baltrice. Afterward, Tezzeret was betrayed by his subordinates, who left him braindead in the burned village for the ratfolk to find. The Nezumi kept Tezzeret until the day a dragon arrived and bargained for his body.[2]
Nashi was subsequently sent to various houses which he refused as he felt his foster parents were trying to replace his dead parents. This changed when Tamyio came to him and insisted he called her nothing but Tamiyo.
Though loving his new family, he often felt the runt and was frustrated due to not being able to fly like his Soratami siblings.
When Ajani came to their house, Nashi was initially distrustful, but came to sympathize with the planeswalker and his loss of Elspeth Tirel.[1]
Neon Dynasty
Tracking Tezzeret, Kaito Shizuki inevitably tried to track Nashi for information. Tamiyo intercepted him and appealed to leave her son be due to his trauma. Nashi was revealed to be interested in technology and was excited about Kaito's drone.[2]
With Tamiyo's capture by Tezzeret, Kaito felt obligated to inform Nashi and the rest of his family. The young nezumi vowed to find his mother, but unknownst to him Tamiyo was compleated and had renounced him in favor of New Phyrexia.[4]
