Geraci: Nausicaa: Of The Valley of The Wind

Taken from Cosplayhouse

Nausicaa is the young princess of her kingdom which lies in the Valley of the Wind. She is a strong willed girl, and is not afraid of what she has to do to protect her kingdom. While there are soldiers in the kingdom, she is the one who does the most in terms of defense for her kingdom. There are very few things that scare Nausicaa, the main thing is letting her people be destroyed by the Toxic Jungle or rampaging Ohmu. She does not seem to fear for her own life from what we see in the scene when she stands in front of the Ohmu to return their baby and appease their anger. When the cargo plane is going down over the Toxic Jungle, she takes off her mask to calm down the guards from her village. When the Tolumekian army comes to the Valley, the guards and Nausicaa try to fight them off, but then Nausicaa stops the fighting because her father was killed and she did not want anyone else she loved to die. Nausicaa is an explorer type, and she is not afraid to go into the Toxic Jungle to look around and collect things her village needs, but is not readily available. She has a kind and caring heart, which allows her to save people who threaten her Valley. She does not care if the person or insect she is defending will turn around and attack her because she was raised to fight for those who need her help. Even though she is a young princess, she maintains a warrior for peace mentality. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind shows the complex relationship between people, people and nature, and royalty and their people. There is a balance to be upheld, and Nausicca is the one to do it.
