Description
Nanami Okawe (nicknamed Nami) is a Japanese child celebrity. She looks very similar to Seiji (Her actual father and not older brother as revealed in the second tea video). Her goal is to show Summer that she is Seiji’s real best girl, even though around Summer she acts incredibly polite and friendly.
Childhood
Nanami was introduced when she flew in from Tokyo with her parents to see Seiji and his fiancée Summer. She tried to introduce herself to Summer, but Summer was haughty, likely due to feeling sad about her own family. Later on Summer and Nami seemed to be getting along, however, Nami wasn’t too keen on Summer. She decided she wanted to spend a semester with Seiji, to show everyone just who his best girl was.
Teenhood
Nanami aged up before the third episode of Realm of Magic and was invited by Fran to live with him, his daughter Raven and her cousin Nita. However, Raven wasn't happy about this since how Nami treated her when they were kids. While Raven held a grudge against Nami, Nita, on the other hand, seemed to get along fairly well with her. Raven managed to convince Nanami that she and Nita kept leaving the house for a club. However, after all the three girls went to the bar, a very loud and drunk Raven woke Nanami up telling Nita to go to the realm. Nanami followed the girls and found about their magical secret and became a spellcaster as well, in hopes to mess with her sister-in-law Summer.
In episode 5, Nanami and Nita bonded more and became really close friends. Nanami's attitude increased and she became a nicer person, agreeing to help Raven win a duel between the two girls. However, Nanami was told by Fran that her father had passed away, devastating her and requiring her to go back to Japan for a while to attend her father's funeral.
Adulthood
Nanami was given an updated look in an episode where Clare gave make-overs to characters who hadn't been seen for a while. She has grown her hair out and removed her piercings due to pressure from her mother.
Nanami returned at the end of the Realm Of Magic & Vampires crossover special where she shared a kiss with long-time crush Nita Collins. Nanami later grew her hair out more. Nanami moved into a new house in Glimmerbrook with Nita named Brooks Bridge Borough, designed purely for witches. Following the events revealing that Seiji was actually Nanami's father, she refused to speak to him as she was still furious that he and her grandparents - who she thought were her parents - would keep this a secret. Nanami continued working on her spells and started an official relationship with Nita shortly after.
In episode 3, Nita and Nanami went to Granite Falls with the rest of the coven for a night so that Nita could get herbal ingredients for her potions. Whilst they were there, the two had a bit of a fall out when Nita found out that Nanami had kept it a secret that she had found out that Seiji was her father instead of her brother like she had originally thought. However, Nita soon understood why Nanami kept it a secret, and the two quickly made up again. Once they returned back to Grimmerbrook, Nanami decided to get a black kitten as a gift for Nita.
In episode 4, Nanami and Nita held a group gathering to celebrate it being the longest day in the year and being the summer solstice. Nanami, Nita and the other members worked together to help their friend Seo-Jun get his hair back as they noticed how much it was getting him down emotionally. At the end of the day, Nanami and Nita took their relationship to the next level and slept together for the first time.
Nanami found out the truth about her mother in episode 5. Nanami decided to confront her father Seiji about her mother and that she was angry he never told her the truth about her family. Nanami visited Seiji at the Hollywood mansion and the two ended up arguing. However, Seiji eventually apologized to Nanami for not telling her the truth. He explained that he had just started his career when Nanami was born and didn't want to raise a baby when being a young dad. Nanami forgave her dad and they managed to repair their relationship a bit more.
Nanami repeatedly wanted to propose to Nita and tried 3 times. However, she got too scared to do it but decided to do it in a very chill and Nanami proposed to Nita in episode 6 at home. Nita said yes and they wanted to get married a soon as possible.
In the seventh episode of Mini Magic, Nanami and Nita got married in the Magical Realm. She also got pregnant with Koda Collins as a surrogate so she could have a child with Nita. They then later had their babies in the livestream episode Back To Uni #4 off screen. Nanami had a baby girl named Emma and Nita had a son called Marcos, however Clare deleted these twins and created triplets for them in CAS.
Later on, during a livestream, Clare created their triplets after deleting the previous twins. The eldest triplet, Clove, was created from the genetics of Nanami and Koda and the remaining two triplets, Ambrose and Valeria were Nita’s, using Ethan‘s genetics.
