Nasiens「ナシエンス」 is a herbalist Percival meets at Echo Gorge, later appointed as a Holy Knight of Liones and member of the Percival Platoon. They are later revealed to be the long lost child of King and Diane, swapped out for Mertyl years ago. They were also chosen by the Sacred Tree as King's successor and the future fourth Fairy King.
Appearance[]

Nasiens is a teenager with short brown hair with bangs, amber eyes, fair skin and thin eyebrows. Because they do not yet have a defined gender, Nasiens has an androgynous appearance, although at first people assumed they were male.
They wear a dark blue suit under a white coat and a white hat. Before leaving Liones, Nasiens is given a new outfit consisting of a green suit under a white jacket with pockets for test tubes, a wider hat, and shoes with long socks.
After the timeskip, Nasiens let their hair grow to chin length and their bangs became shorter, giving them a much more effeminate appearance.
As stated by Mertyl, Nasiens looks like King and Diane. Tioreh noted that the resemblance between them was very “close”.
Personality[]
At first, Nasiens appeared as a calm and collected teenager, who can also be scary at times and rarely reveals their true feelings. Although with Percival, Donny and Sin, they managed to have enough trust in all of them to show them their emotions without hiding. However, Nasiens still has some secrets, like when Anghalhad realized they were hiding something.
Nasiens has a great interest and curiosity in plants, wanting to be an herbalist like their adoptive grandfather Ordo. They are very excited about making new discoveries, enjoying experiencing everything around them. Nasiens have also shown to be quite intelligent when it comes to plants and their properties.
In general, Nasiens is a calm, serious, insightful and polite individual, just like King. Just like their father, they can be very sentimental and shy, because, having been isolated for so many years, they don't know how to show their true feelings; an example of this would be when they couldn't find the words to tell Percival that they considered him their first friend, and ended up saying "guinea pig". Nasiens also inherited some personality traits from Diane, such as her friendly and serene nature. Nasiens also have the same habit as their mother of hiding their face when they are embarrassed.
Nasiens' adopted sister, Dolores, also noted that they have a "good heart." When King offered to help awaken Percival after two years of failed attempts, Nasiens was more concerned about their father "helping" Mertyl.
History[]
Nasiens is actually the first child of King and Diane. However, shortly after birth, Nasiens was kidnapped by a fairy and swapped with a newborn Mertyl. Later, they were abandoned in Echo Gorge and was found and adopted by Ordo. Nasiens grew up studying to be an apothecary like their grandfather, Ordo, until one day Ordo disappeared and soon after a strange disease began to eat the life force of the plants and animals of Echo Gorge.
Nasiens started conducting experiments to create a cure for Echo Gorge, and as a side effect of some of their failed drugs, the animals and plants became monstrous and violent. This led to the local fairies to mistakenly believe that Nasiens was trying to destroy Echo Gorge.
Abilities/Equipment[]
Raised inside the Echo Gorge and taught by Ordo, Nasiens learned a lot about medicines and herbs, whether identifying or synthesizing them to create original concoctions, being their main area of expertise. Despite this, however, Nasiens has proved themselves an adept enough combatant capable of dual wielding Henbane and Belladonna without much issues, even adding their magical ability on top of it.
As the first biological child of King and Diane, Nasiens is a half-Fairy and half-Giant, whose paternal genes seems much stronger than the maternal genes, same as Sixtus, Belte, and Tioreh. It is possible that being outside of the Fairy Realm may have caused the development of Nasiens’s inherited abilities to be halted. It was further shown as their condition and health steadily was better due to their residing in the Fairy Realm.
Nasiens has shown the ability to influence the Spirit Spear Chastiefol, halting its charge and redirecting it, a trait that is inherited to those chosen by the Sacred Tree, in particular, future leaders of the Fairy Clan.
Abilities[]
- Mix Venom「
調毒 , Mikusu Benomu」: This power enables Nasiens to ingest any kind of poison and "teach" its composition to their body, letting them create their own mix.[5] - Poison Immunity: Due to being Half-Fairy and due to the nature of Mix Venom, Nasiens seems naturally resistant to poisons, toxins and diseases, which notably allows them to withstand the environment of the Fairy Realm without having to suffer dizziness or asthma.
- Levitation: Although at first Nasiens did not seem to have the Fairies's ability to fly, Nasiens later awakened it while channeling the powers of the Sacred Tree against Worreldane. Nasiens retained this power after the encounter, but is still learning to utilize it fully.
- Connection to Nature: Nasiens appears to be able to "sense" the medicinal properties of plants and minerals. Sixtus indicated that fairies do not have the ability to sense minerals and privately thought that this might be a manifestation of Nasiens' Giant heritage.[6]
Combined Techniques[]
- Quartet Attack - Slash Squall「
四重奏攻撃 -剣撃の雨 , Karutetto Atakku - Surasshu Sukōru」: Nasiens, Anghalhad, Percival and Donny each attack a single opponent with their swords. [7]

- Bipolar Gloves「
対極の手袋 , Baiporā Gurōbu」: A pair of magical gloves created by Dubs. They allows Nasiens to freely switch between intense heat (up to 150ºC) or intense cold (down to -150ºC), also changing the nature of their poisons by manipulating its temperature.[9]
They also use needles that they throws at enemies to apply their poisons.
- Spirit Spear Pendant: Nasiens obtained from King a pendant made from a piece of the Spirit Spear Chastiefol, which contains the power of the Sacred Tree and is able to transform in response to Nasiens' wishes. However, being just a small piece, it is limited to just two forms.

King[]
At first, Nasiens is very polite and respectful towards King because he is the King of the Fairies and is guarding Percival's body in his kingdom. However, after King offered them the Drug of Yore, rather than giving it to Mertyl, not knowing that King had already done so, Nasiens currently views King with considerable distaste. Due to King's lack of clarity with his motives, Nasiens considers him "hard-headed" and his actions to be in poor taste. Nasiens has shown the capacity to put their feelings aside and quickly came to lend King their power when battling Worreldane. Despite not expressing it verbally, Nasiens considers King as part of their family.[10] Before leaving the Fairy Realm Nasiens openly called King their father.

She spent the two years Nasiens was in the Fairy Realm following them around and was very curious about her sibling overall, in part to confirm her suspicions about their relationship. Tioreh was the one to reveal to Nasiens that they were not human. Nasiens appears to trust Tioreh and has little issues opening up to her whenever their sibling questions them directly. Despite not expressing it verbally, Nasiens considers Tioreh as part of their family. [10] Nasiens promised to return to visit her and the rest of their siblings.
